Abstract
|
|
|
|
The production and intensive use of organochlorine chemicals, both in agriculture and industry, have led to wide spread contamination of the environment. There may be biological effects of organochlorine contaminated breast milk even when levels are below those concentrations that are currently regarded as tolerable. To evaluate the exposure of to fetus PCBs, we measured the sum of 13 congeners of PCBs in maternal blood, cord blood, breast milk and placenta of 30 Korean women by gas chromatograpy/electron capture detector. The concentration of total PCBs of maternal blood, cord blood and breast milk were 7.16±4.29 ㎍/ℓ, 5.16±3.12 ㎍/ℓ, 1.77±2.87 ㎍/ℓ respectively and they have no significant correlation. PCBs in placenta was not defected. However there were no significant differences of PCBs according to age, education, body mass index, parity, breastfeeding, smoking and drinking.
