Abstract
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs, including DDTs and HCHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected in 64 human breast milk samples collected from lactating mothers living in three communes and two wards in the suburbs of Hue city, Central Vietnam in 2010 and in 2011. Assessment of health risk for breast fed babies was conducted, basing on estimation of estimated daily intake (EDI) of the pollutants (OCPs and PCBs) by the babies and then comparing with tolerable daily intake (according to the guideline of Canada Health Agency). The results obtained showed that the EDIs were much lower than the TDIs.
