Abstract
In this study organochlorine pesticides OCPs and polychlorinated biphenyles PCBs levels were determined in 100 human milk samples from the city of Antalya The levels of seven major PCB congeners 28 52 101 118 138 153 180 and nine OCPs αHCH βHCH γHCH HCB heptachlor epoxide pp′DDT pp′DDE endosulfanα and endosulfanβ were determined by gas chromatography with ECD detection The levels of analyzed compounds were as follows ΣPCBs 2746 ± 1158 ΣDDT 1407 ± 123 and ΣBHC 160 ± 490 ng/g lipid wtbasis PCB 153 and pp′DDE were the dominant contaminants The results have been discussed and compared with similar studies from other regions of Turkey
