Chemical contaminants in human milk

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 89))

Abstract

It has been known since the last century that maternal milk sometimes may contain chemical contaminants which could have adverse effects on nursing infants. Such experiences came mainly from cases of exposure to occupational chemicals or drugs. Since 1950, it has further been known that human milk may contain potentially hazardous persistent environmental chemicals in concentrations higher than in cow’s milk.
