Abstract
Mirex (l,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,9,10,10-dodeeachlorooctahydro1,3,4-metheno-2H-cyclobuta (c,d) pentalene) has mainly been associated with the control of the Fire ant in the Southeastern U.S.A. (ALLEY 1973), where it was subsequently found in non-target organisms (COLLINS et al. 1973, WOJCIK et al. 1975) including man (ANONYMOUS 1976). Recently Mirex has been found in Canada in fish from Lake Ontario (KAISER 1974) and in eggs of double crested cormorants (ZITKO 1976). This paper reports on a limited study of Mirex in human milk samples from across Canada, using U.V. irradiation to limit interference from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
