Abstract
Thirty individual human milk samples were gathered from five main town s in Jordan. They were mixed to six pooled samples and analyzed for PC DD and PCDF. All examined samples were contaminated with 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 -HeptaCDD (3.2 - 96.0 ng/kg fat) and OctaCDD (29.0 - 147 ng/kg fat). T he calculated TEQ (BGA)-values range between 0.26 and 60.32 ng TEQ/kg fat, which are all above the calculated tolerable concentration of 0.1 9 ng TEQ/kg milk fat.
