| Abstract | ||
| The objective of this study was to investigate Organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) and Fates (F) levels in the breast milk of lactating healthy women who were living in Al Muthanna province of Iraq according to the region and age of mother and to determine the relationship between the selected parameters under the study. Seventy breast milk samples collected between January 2015 to March 2015 from healthy lactating women at different stages of lactation, from 5 days to 72 weeks postpartum in morning. The breast milk samples were collected by self-milking. (OCPs) in milk samples were measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), while the fats were done by soxhlet extractor. Results of the current study (according to the minitab statistical program) revealed a very high significant variation between the levels of (OCPs) and (F) in the breast milk of mothers in the rural (R) and urban (U) regions (P< 0.001), and there are positive relationship between the both parameter in the samples of milk and the concentration of (OCPs) and (F) in women aged < 25 years lower than the concentration of (OCPs) and (F) in women aged ≥ 25 years. This high difference was statistically significant for (F) (P < 0.01), but non-significant for (OCPs) | ||
