Abstract

Aldrin and dieldrin were monitored in samples of maternal serum, cord serum and mother's milk, collected from young mothers three days post partum. All mothers were permanent residents of Delhi. For the 25 donors, the average aldrin content was 0.40 ppb in breast milk, 0.17 ppb in maternal serum and 0.05 ppb in cord serum. The average dieldrin content was 0.13, 0.09 and 0.04 ppb in breast milk, maternal serum and cord serum, respectively.

A significant correlation between the levels of aldrin and dieldrin was found in maternal milk and maternal serum, and maternal milk and cord serum. There was no significant correlation between maternal serum and cord serum.
