TI  - Persistent organic pollutants in human breast milk from Asian countries.
PG  - 400-13
AB  - In this paper, we concisely reviewed the contamination of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), 
      dibenzofurans (PCDFs), biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its 
      metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), chlordane compounds 
      (CHLs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in human breast milk collected from Asian 
      countries such as Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Malaysia, 
      and Indonesia during 1999-2003. Dioxins, PCBs, CHLs in Japanese, and DDTs in 
      Vietnamese, Chinese, Cambodian, Malaysian, and HCHs in Chinese, Indian, and HCB 
      in Chinese breast milk were predominant. In India, levels of dioxins and related 
      compounds (DRCs) in the mothers living around the open dumping site were notably 
      higher than those from the reference site and other Asian developing countries, 
      indicating that significant pollution sources of DRCs are present in the dumping 
      site of India and the residents there have been exposed to relatively higher 
      levels of these contaminants possibly via bovine milk.
