      Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico.

AB  - The coasts of the Gulf of Mexico are zones exposed to the exploration and 
      exploitation of petroleum sources, and the products generated in agricultural 
      zones may become contaminated by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The 
      objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of polychlorinated 
      biphenyl compounds (PCBs) in milk from dairy production units near sources of 
      environmental pollutants. It was confirmed that the seven congeners of 
      nondioxin-like PCBs (NDL-PCBs) are present in milk where compounds PCB101, 
      PCB118, PCB153 and PCB180 appear in 100% of the samples analyzed, the rank of 
      concentration for the sum of the seven congeners fluctuating between 2.6 and 26 
      ng g(-1) with a median of 6 ng g(-1). None of the samples surpassed the 
      provisional value established by the EU of 40 ng g(-1) of milk fat for the sum of 
      the seven congeners, indicator that was not affected by the season of the year 
      (p<0.05), whose median of 8.6 ng g(-1) and 6.3 ng g(-1) for rain and drought 
      respectively. The concentrations of NDL-PCBs found in milk do not represent a 
      problem for human health; however, they alert the existence of spontaneously 
      generated, uncontrolled sources that may represent a potential danger for human 
      and animal health.
