摘要：This investigation was conducted to evaluate persistent pesticides residues in human breast milk in five governorates in the middle of Jordan. One hundred and twenty samples of mother's milk were collected from the six regions in 2018 and 2019 to monitor the organochlorine pesticides residues. The samples collected from Amman area contained only ρ,ρ'-DDE, those from Zarqa and Madaba contained only dieldrin, those from Salt contained ρ,ρ'-DDE and ρ,ρ'-DDD, those from Deir Alla contained dieldrin and ρ,ρ'-DDE and those from south Shounah contained dieldrin, endrin, α-HCH, ρ,ρ'- DDE and ρ,ρ'-DDD. All analyzed samples did not contain residues of HCB, γ-HCH, heptachlor, α- endosulfan, β-endosulfan, ο,ρ'-DDD, ο,ρ'-DDT, ο,ρ'-DDE and ρ,ρ'-DDT. The results of this study compared with the results of previous studies of 2013 and 2014 show slight increase in DDTs, cy- clodiens and HCH residue concentrations. It is recommended to continue studying pesticide residues in human breast milk and other environmental components in Jordan.
