The levels of persistent organochlorines in breast milk from 22 Icelandic women (18 primiparae and four bisparae) were investigated during the summer of 1993. The samples were collected at the Maternity Department of Landspitalinn, the University Hospital in Reykjavik. Dichloro-diphenyl-dichlorethene (DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), were found in all samples but not hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). No statistical difference was found between primi- and bisparae mothers. The levels found were similar to what has been reported for breast milk in neighbouring countries in recent years and lower than was found in France, Germany, Italy and among Inuits of arctic Canada but higher than was found in mothers from South-Canada and Great Britain. The levels, however, were well below estimated risk levels for infants. Þrásetin (persistent) klórkolefnissambönd berast frá móður til afkvæmis og geta haft áhrif á vöxt þess og þroska. Rannsakað var magn ýmissa klórkolefnissambanda í 22 sýnum af móðurmjólk (18 frumbyrjur og fjórar tvíbyrjur), sem safnað var á fæöingadeild Landspítalans í júni og júlí 1993. Í sýnunum var nokkurt magn af díklór-dífenýl-díklóreten (DDE), hexaklórbensen (HCB) og pólíklórbífenýlsamböndum (PCB), en ekkert hexaklórsýklóhexan (HCH). Ekki var marktækur munur á magni þessara efna í mjólk frum- eða tvíbyrja. Magn efnanna var svipað og fundist hefur í móðurmjólk í nálægum löndum síðustu ár og minna en í Frakklandi, Þýskalandi, Ítalíu og meðal Inúíta í N-Kanada, en meira en í S-Kanada eða Bretlandi. Magn efnanna var talið vera langt undir hugsanlegum hættumörkum fyrir ungbörn.
