title: [Presence of residues and pollutants in human milk].
abstract: The contamination of human milk by xenobiotics is a common problem worldwide which is affected by the geographical, climate-related, cultural and socioeconomic variations in each individual location. Public health policies have dealt with this situation by means of ongoing monitoring and restrictive legislation in order to reduce the damaging effects on the populations and the environment, objectivatable data however being recorded particularly in the developing countries. Overall and individual aspects of waste and contaminating oganochlorines, organophosphorates, antibiotics, polychlorate biphenyls, dioxins and furans, their content values, toxic effects studies and the maximum limits permitted under international legislation are highlighted.
