“…31 In addition to other organochlorine compounds, many organic environmental chemicals can bioconcentrate in milk and adipose tissue. 11,36 Whether the milk Table 4 Postmortem correlates of neuron density by midlife milk intake and smoking status supply in Hawaii was contaminated with these compounds is unknown. Although the sample is limited, neuron density continued to decline with increasing milk intake in the absence of heptachlor epoxide.…”

“…The level of lindane residue exceeded MRLs in 44% of the samples and methoxychlor and HCB residue also exceeded the MRLs in 33, 66 and 88% of the samples analyzed. Deti et al (2014) verified the presence of persistent organochlorine pesticide residues in bovine and goat milk collected in different regions of Ethiopia. The study investigated the bioaccumulation of organochlorines in these two types of milk.…”

“…In Kampala the pesticides DDT, lindane, aldrin and dieldrin were above the MRL in both fresh bovine and pasteurized milk (Kampire et al, 2011). The levels of aldrin, endosulfan (α and β), p, p›-DDE, o, p›-DDT ep, and p›-DDT were also higher than MRLs in the bovine and goat milk samples from Ethiopia and Egypt (Deti et al, 2014). These high levels may be related to the intense use of OCPs in the control of tropical insect diseases, which are very common in poorer countries.…”

In addition, it is important to note that because these compounds are highly resistant to biotransformation, they can be bio cumulated in foods such as meat and milk, which makes them a risk to human health (Ronchi et al, 2006;Kampire et al, 2011;Deti et al, 2014).…”

Organochlorine pesticides residues in commercial milk: a systematic review

Milk is a very important food for human consumption, mainly due to its content of fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. However, the use of organochlorine pesticides (OCP) for decades has contaminated the soil, water and air, and thus has also contaminated the milk. In this sense, in the present work a review of scientific articles was carried out, between the years 2000 and 2018, related to the evaluation of the degree of contamination of different types of milk by OCPs in different regions of the world. As a result, it was observed that although OCPs have been banned for use in agriculture since the 1980s, these compounds or their metabolites have still been detected in many samples, and in some cases the levels were above the maximum allowed by the World Health Organization. In addition, most of the samples presented contamination, which makes them a great risk to human health due to their bioaccumulation.

“…Milk : As in Egypt, milk samples in Ethiopia were found to contain several pesticides, with highest concentrations seen in malaria areas, and overall cow and goat samples contained an average DDT level of 328.5 µ g/kg (Table 1) [28]. Analysis of cow milk samples focusing on the south west of the country also detected DDTs, with p,p’ -DDT predominating [36].…”

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been used worldwide, particularly in Africa, for several decades. Although many are banned, several African countries still use OCPs especially for the prevention and control of malaria. OCPs are characterized by their bio-accumulation in the environment, especially in the food chain, where they find their way into the human body. Despite no clear epidemiological studies confirming hazardous effects of these chemicals on human health, many studies have reported positive associations between the use of OCPs and neurological and reproductive disorders, and cancer risk. There is a clear gap in published reports on OCPs in Africa and their potential health hazards. Thus, the aim of this review is to summarize the incidence of OCP contamination in various foods in Africa, to demonstrate the potential transmission of these chemicals to people and to discuss their possible health hazards.
