ABSTRACT
As an index of pesticide pollution in breast feeding by Indian mothers, milks of woman, buffalo, and goat were analyzed to estimate residues of organochlorine pesticides by gas liquid chromatograph equipped with electron capture detector. Contamination in human milk was high as compared with buffalo and goat. Concentration of dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane in human milk was 12 times higher than that of buffalo milk and 13 times higher than that of goat milk. Residues of hexachlorocyclohexane were correspondingly high in human milk.
