Spatial and temporal trends of the Stockholm Convention POPs in mothers’ milk — a global review

Abstract: 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 comp… Show more

“…23,24 Globally, higher PCBs levels were found in mothers' milk from Europe and Northern America than those in other areas, which may related to the PCBs production and usage. 25 The large amounts of CPs produced and used in China could partly explain why the SCCP and MCCP concentrations in the samples were much higher than the concentrations of other POPs that have been found in mothers' milk.…”

“…Since these restrictions have gone into effect, data indicates that BDEs are still detected frequently in environmental and biomonitoring studies, but the concentration of the restricted compounds may be stabilizing or even decreasing in some populations (Fang et al, 2015; Law et al, 2014). .…”

“…For example, breast-milk DDE and PCBs in Sweden declined 10–20-fold over the past 30 years (Figure 2; [22]). Pesticides that replaced the persistent halogenated compounds, such as organophosphates, have also declined [11], but newer, less persistent pesticides are in use, with limited information on human exposure.…”
