Concentration of Trichloroethylene in Breast Milk and Household Water from Nogales, Arizona

Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency has identified quantification of trichloroethylene (TCE), an industrial solvent, in breast milk as a high priority need for risk assessment. Water and milk samples were collected from 20 households by a lactation consultant in Nogales, Arizona. Separate water samples (including tap, bottled and vending machine) were collected for all household uses: drinking, bathing, cooking, and laundry. A risk factor questionnaire was administered. Liquid-liquid extraction w… Show more

“…Compared to our results, few studies reported that it was because of fear from tap water contamination, many Latino parents gave their children bottled water for drinking, as well as using bottled water to prepare infant formula (14, 16). Also, in regions of Nogales, Arizona, 85% and 50% of people used bottled water for drinking and cooking respectively (17). According to the previous studies, highly educated individuals have less preference for consumption of bottled water.…”

“…According to information from trade associations, remaining market segments include metal degreasing in closed systems and TCE's use as intermediate for the production of fluorinated hydrocarbons and fluorinated polymers. Although traces of TCE were found in food, breast milk and drinking water, 19,20 no migration of TCE from FCMs into food has been reported. The four phthalates DiBP, DBP, BBP and DEHP were included on Annex XIV based on their toxicity for reproduction.…”
