Conclusion
The current study shows that levels of POPs in breast milk is
Israel have declined significantly over the last 30 years and that
current levels in Israel are low compared to other OECD countries.
These findings indicate that policies to restrict industrial and agricultural
use of these chemicals in Israel have been effective in
reducing population exposures. Continued efforts should be directed
to further reducing human dietary and environmental exposure
to these POPs and search for safer industrial uses and
improved control over unintentional by products.
