“…This increase has resulted in the expansion of industrial manufacturing, agricultural activities, and technological development. Consequently, both the environment and humans have been exposed to various new chemicals known as emerging pollutants (EPs) or contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) [ 1 ]. EPs are defined as synthetic or naturally occurring compounds found in the environment.…”

“…EPs consist of a wide array of organic and inorganic compounds commonly found in the environment, such as pesticides, perfluorinated compounds, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors, hormones, toxins, plasticizers, flame retardants, and more [ 1 , 4 ]. The majority of EPs stem from routine anthropogenic activities, including domestic, healthcare, agricultural, and industrial processes [ 5 ].…”

“…The majority of EPs stem from routine anthropogenic activities, including domestic, healthcare, agricultural, and industrial processes [ 5 ]. These substances can infiltrate the environment, permeating various food sources and environmental matrices, such as water, soil, marine sediments, and both indoor and outdoor dust [ 1 ]. The global production of these pollutants is estimated to have surged from 1 million to 500 million tons annually [ 6 ].…”

Emerging pollutants (EPs) encompass natural or synthetic substances found in the environment that pose potential risks, but which have only recently been recognized or monitored. EPs consist of various categories, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, mycotoxins, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Through several pathways, EPs can access food, potentially leading to health impacts when safe concentrations are exceeded. Milk, being a highly nutritious food product that is heavily consumed by many consumers of different ages, is a crucial food matrix where EPs should be regularly monitored. In the literature, a large number of studies have been dedicated to the determination of different EPs in dairy milk, employing different analytical techniques to do so. Chromatography-based techniques are the most prevalent means used for the analysis of EPs in milk, demonstrating significant efficiency, sensitivity, and accuracy for this specific purpose. The extraction of EPs from a complex matrix like milk is essential prior to performing chromatographic analysis. This review comprehensively covers relevant research papers on the extraction and subsequent detection and determination of EPs in milk using chromatographic methods from 2018 to 2023.

“…Regardless of their local use, PBDEs are spread throughout the world [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Owing to the persistence and environmental bioaccumulation of PBDEs, epidemiological studies and concerns by regulatory agencies about the occurrence of potential adverse effects on human health have increased [ 1 , 2 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…In addition to the determination of the body burden of PBDEs in lactating women, breast milk also makes it possible to assess the exposure of infants by daily intake. Furthermore, given the implementation of the Stockholm Convention and the consequent environmental release of the persistent pollutants, the PBDE concentrations in human breast milk samples have been reduced in European countries and the USA, updating the PBDE body burden trends [ 1 , 7 , 8 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 31 ].…”

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous flame retardants and are environmentally persistent. PBDEs show endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and lower birth weight in infants, and their human body burden has become a public health concern. The infants’ exposure begins in the prenatal period and continues via breast milk ingestion, although, little is known about the factors that may influence this exposure. In this study, PBDE levels in Brazilian breast milk were assessed in 200 lactating women. The risk assessment of infants’ exposure to PBDE was performed through the estimated daily intake (EDI) calculation. The geometric mean (GM) of ∑PBDEs levels was 2.33 (0.14–6.05) ng/g wet weight. At least one PBDE congener was detected in the samples, and the 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) showed a 100% of detection rate (GM of 1.05 ng/g). Location of residence, maternal level education, monthly salary, and race were positively associated with PBDE levels (p < 0.05). The EDI of BDE-47 was higher in Belo Horizonte (8.29 ng/kg/day) than in Viçosa (6.36 ng/kg/day), as well as for the ∑PBDEs (19.77 versus 12.78 ng/kg/day) (p < 0.05). Taking the high detection rate of PBDEs in breast milk and their toxicity, continuous studies on infant exposure, fetal growth, and child neurodevelopment are requested.
