AB  - The levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were determined in 50 samples 
      of Korean human milk. POPs include organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) [aldrin, 
      chlordanes, dieldrin, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), endrins, 
      heptachlors, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), mirex, and 
      toxaphenes] and marker PCBs (PCB28, PCB52, PCB101, PCB138, PCB153 and PCB180). In 
      all samples, p,p'-DDE were determined as 75.5-1115.3 ng/g fat. The compounds 
      beta-HCH and p,p'-DDT were detected at 72% and 60% of the samples, respectively. 
      Chlordanes (nd-84.9 ng/g fat) heptachlors (nd-40.1 ng/g fat), HCB (nd-42.9 ng/g 
      fat) and PCBs (nd-38.3 ng/g fat) were detected in several samples. The ratio of 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethylene (DDE)/DDT was 6.8, which explained that 
      exposure of volunteers to DDT did not occur recently. Compared with the previous 
      monitoring data, the level of marker PCBs generally decreased in the milk 
      samples. The levels of OCPs are significantly correlated to the residential 
      periods of the mothers but not with their dietary habits. Considering the daily 
      intake of each OCPs, 18% of infants would ingest the amount of heptachlor 
      exceeding the acceptable daily intake (ADI) proposed by World Health Organization 
      (WHO). There was no sample surpassing the WHO ADI for DDTs, HCB and chlordanes.
