Abstract

Background

Bio-accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment and in the food chain can lead to high pollutant concentrations in human fat-containing tissues and breast milk.

Objectives

We aimed to identify the maternal characteristics that determined POP concentrations in breast milk of primiparous mothers in Belgium.

Environment International
