Trend analyses of persistent organic pollutants in human milk from first-time mothers in Norway between 2002 and 2021
Our study demonstrates a decline of most POPs in breast milk, likely attributed to international regulatory efforts like the Stockholm Convention. Notably, an increase in the 95th percentile concentrations of β-HCH, ∑<sub>2</sub>DDTs, and ∑<sub>6</sub>BDEs was noted in mothers born in 1990-1994 compared to those born in 1995-2002 suggests demographic shifts that may influence exposure levels. Further research is needed to explore and understand the underlying factors for the rise in median concentrations of ∑<sub>6</sub>BDEs.
