“…The more abundant congeners were 2, 3,7,3,4,7,3,7,3,7, were also noted at comparatively high levels. A PBDD/F TEQ of 0.67 ng/kg lipid was reported (Colles et al, 2008) for a pooled milk sample from Belgian mothers, and a later, pooled Belgian milk sample from Flanders (Croes et al, 2013) reported a TEQ of 0.42 or 0.34 pg/g lipid, depending on whether TEF 1998 or TEF 2005 was used. Similar concentrations (0.45 to 2.64 pg TEQ /g lipid) and a similar frequency of occurrence of 2,3,7,8-TBDF and 2,3,4,7,8-PeBDF as the Japanese study, were seen in 31 pooled breast milk samples from 25 countries (Asia-Pacific, Europe and North/South America), (Kotz et al, 2005;.…”
