Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in human milk from Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico were analyzed. Relatively high levels of p,p'-DDE, gamma-chlordane, beta-hexacyclohexane (beta-HCH) and PCB congeners 170, 28, and 44 were found. Concentration profiles by OCP groups followed the next order: SigmaDDTs > SigmaChlordanes > SigmaHCHs > SigmaChlorobenzenes > SigmaDrins. Total OCPs showed a decreasing tendency with number of births (primipara and multipara and age ranks) but these differences were not significant. SigmaDDT levels were lower than in other studies in Mexico, but 36% of the samples exceeded the JMPR-FAO/WHO acceptable daily intake (ADI). About 60.53% of samples exceeded the ADI value for heptachlors.

“…Reports from Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Region indicate that certain mothers have been highly exposed to both 4,4′-DDT and 4,4′-DDE (Nair et al 1996; Nasir et al 1998; Stuetz et al 2001; Wong et al 2002), while overall levels are above the common European concentrations, but below the concentrations reported for milk from African mothers (Table 2 and Fig. 3).…”

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been of environmental and health concern for more than half a century and have their own intergovernmental regulation through the Stockholm Convention, from 2001. One major concern is the nursing child’s exposure to POPs, a concern that has led to a very large number of scientific studies on POPs in mothers’ milk. The present review is a report on the assessment on worldwide spatial distributions of POPs and of their temporal trends. The data presented herein is a compilation based on scientific publications between 1995 and 2011. It is evident that the concentrations in mothers’ milk depend on the use of pesticides and industrial chemicals defined as POPs. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and “dioxins” are higher in the more industrialized areas, Europe and Northern America, whereas pesticides are higher in Africa and Asia and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are reported in higher concentrations in the USA. POPs are consequently distributed to women in all parts of the world and are thus delivered to the nursing child. The review points out several major problems in the reporting of data, which are crucial to enable high quality comparisons. Even though the data set is large, the comparability is hampered by differences in reporting. In conclusion, much more detailed instructions are needed for reporting POPs in mothers’ milk. Temporal trend data for POPs in mothers’ milk is scarce and is of interest when studying longer time series. The only two countries with long temporal trend studies are Japan and Sweden. In most cases, the trends show decreasing concentrations of POPs in mothers’ milk. However, hexabromocyclododecane is showing increasing temporal concentration trends in both Japan and Sweden.

“…This is not a surprising result since HCB is a known by-product of many industrial processes (Nasir et al 1998) that is frequently detected in foodstuffs. The high frequency of this compound in yogurt samples was also in accordance with our previous studies in other dairy products Luzardo et al 2012).…”

Daily intake of anthropogenic pollutants through yogurt consumption in the Spanish population

In the present study we have quantified the levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in commercially available brands of yogurt (17 conventional and 15 organic) present in the Spanish market, with the goal of estimating the daily intake of these contaminants by the Spanish population through the yogurt consumption. On the one hand, with respect to organochlorine contaminants (OCPs and PCBs) our results showed that hexachlorobenzene, p,pʹ-DDE, and all the PCBs congeners that are considered markers of environmental contamination were present in almost all the yogurt samples. The concentrations of these pollutants were found to be very low [well below the toxicological standard limits established by the European Union (http://ec.europa.eu/sanco_pesticides/public/?event=homepage)] in almost all the samples, but were even lower in organic than in conventionally produced yogurts. It is remarkable that in some of the samples (six conventional and three organic yogurts) the current maximum level for dioxin-like PCBs (2.5pg WHO-TEQ/g −1 fat) was exceeded. On the other hand, with respect to PAHs, the mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo [b]fluoranthene and chrysene were frequently detected in yogurt. From these results we have estimated that the daily intake of these pollutants is in general low. However, it should be highlighted that if the consumer inadvertently choose certain yogurts they could be exposed to high amounts of certain pollutants, that could be even higher than the tolerated daily intakes established by the European Union.
