    Abstract

    In two areas (Groningen and Rotterdam): individual human milk samples (24 hr.) were obtained 10 and 42 days after delivery from about 200 mothers. In all samples non-planar PCBs, including some mono-orthochlorine substituted PCBs were determined. All first samples, and a smaller number of the second samples were analysed for dioxins and coplanar PCBs.

    The obtained results are in the same order of magnitude as earlier Dutch results and do in general not differ from the situation in neighbouring countries. No differences could be observed between the analytical results of both areas.
