“…Those women who consumed non-vegetarian diet showed slightly elevated levels of pesticides in their milk (4.037 mg/L) while the milk from vegetarian mothers had lesser pesticide residues (3.048 mg/L). These results correspond with the studies of Takahashi et al (1981), Saxena (1985), Sant Ana et al (1989). Also, the blood samples from non-vegetarian subjects revealed higher concentration of pesticides (4.946 mg/L) as compared to samples from vegetarian diet consumers (4.004 mg/L).…”

Anupgarh is the most fertile area of Rajasthan state where a variety of seasonal crops are grown. The availability of three manmade canals has enhanced the agricultural activities in this area. The farmers use huge amounts of pesticides to increase the crop productivity. Exposure of humans to these hazardous chemicals occurs directly in the fields and indirectly due to consumption of contaminated diet, or by inhalation or by dermal contact. The organochlorine pesticides are reported to be lipophilic and their presence in human milk and blood has been documented in different parts of the world. Blood and milk samples were collected from lactating women who were divided into four groups on the basis of different living standards viz residence area, dietary habits, working conditions and addiction to tobacco. The level of total organochlorine pesticides in blood ranged from 3.319mg/L-6.253mg/L while in milk samples it ranged from 3.209Mdash;4.608 mg/L. The results are in concurrence with the reports from other countries.

“…Polishuk et al (1977) and Wilson et al (1973) found higher residues of organohalogens in milk from young women as compared to older women, while Knoll and Jayaraman (1973 a and b) found the opposite relation concerning ~DDT levels. Other investigators have not found any correlation to age (Currie et al 1979, Heeschen et al 1978, Gyimothi 1979, Takahashi et al 1981.…”

“…However, PCB levels did not differ significantly between vegetarians and nonvegetarians. In a study from the state of Hawaii, a higher frequency of meat consumption tended to give high levels of organohalogens in the milk (Takahashi et al 1981). In Japan, milk from urban mothers had a greater contamination of organochlorine pesticides (DDT, HCH, dieldrin), than did rural mothers, probably due to a greater intake of animal protein and fat by the former (Hayashi 1972 a and b).…”

“…Alawi et al (2013) reported that the highest average residues found was for p,p In Ghana, Tutu et al (2011) found that all collected mother-milk samples were contaminated with all pollutants mentioned in the present study. In Hawaii, Takahashi et al (1981) reported that all analyzed human milk samples contained p,p 0 -DDT, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin and HCH. In Egypt, Dogheim et al (1996) showed that aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide and endrin residues have been eliminated from human milk in Kafr El-Zayal governate.…”

Chlorinated pesticide residues in human breast milk from five southern Jordan districts were analyzed in 2012/2013. The total number of samples from all districts was 100. The number of samples gathered from each district was collected according to their population densities. The present study shows that 59% of the samples which contained pesticides' residues were p,p'-DDE, 30% contained b-HCH, 10% contained p,p 0 -DDT, 6% contained a-HCH, 2% contained heptachlor and 1% contained endrin. These human milk samples were free of aldrin, dieldrin, a-endosulfan, b-endosulfan, HCB, g-HCH, o,p 0 -DDD, o,p 0 -DDT and o,p 0 -DDE. The levels of the six mentioned compounds detected in all mother's milk samples were higher in Ghor El-Safi district compared with the other four districts. In this study, it is recommended to continue the pesticides residues monitoring in all parts of Jordan, particularly in Ghor El-Safi district and other regions in the cultivated Jordan Valley.
