Abstract
In 1975/76 58 samples of human, perirenal fatty tissue and 45 samples of human milk were analyzed with regard to persistent organochlorine compounds. A corresponding investigation was carried out in 1969/70. A comparison of the results suggest a decrease in the content of DDT and its metabolites. The PCB [polychlorinated biphenyl] content showed a significant increase as compared with 1969/70. HCB [hexachlorobenzene] levels of approximately 0.25 ppm and 0.0054 ppm were demonstrated in fatty tissue and in human milk, respectively. Concentrations of DDT plus metabolites, PCB and HCB in older people were significantly higher than those found in younger subjects.Keywords
