A Review on Levels of Organochlorine Pesticides in Animal Milk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Organochlorine pesticides are used to control the mosquitoes and agricultural pests worldwide. These compounds were very popular and heavily used agriculture and public health due to cheap cost and versatile action against various pests. DDT (Dichlorodiphenyl trichloro ethane) and HCH (Hexachlorohexane) were the important organochlorine insecticides which were used for control of mosquitoes in different health programmes in India. Both DDT and HCH are lipophilic compounds and get accumulated in tissues of animals and environmental components. These compounds undergo the biomagnifications process and persist for the longer period of time. The contamination of milk is a matter of concern and efforts must be taken to assure the quality of milk by dairy industries. The presence of organochlorines and other chemical in animal milk sample have raised a point about the toxicological impacts of these chemicals on an infant’s development. In the present articles attempts are made to collect the available information about the contamination of animal milk by organochlorine pesticides.
