Toxic residues in breast milk: literature review
Keywords:
breast milk, pesticide residues, organochlorine pesticides, environmental toxins
Abstract
Pesticides are chemicals used primarily in agriculture to protect plants from pests, weeds or diseases, and in public health protection programs to protect humans from vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and schistosomiasis. Use and occupational exposure contribute to the pollution of the environment and the human body. Bioaccumulation of organochlorine pesticides in adipose tissue triggers excretion in human milk during lactation. A literature review of original articles written in Spanish or English is carried out. The Google Scholar, Medline, Science Direct and Epistemonikos databases were searched. There were no restrictions regarding the type of study. As human milk is the ideal food for the newborn, it is essential to analyze the factors that determine the presence of residues and contaminants in it. The present work aims to allow the understanding of this important issue, as well as to encourage clinical research in the local environment due to the incidence of use of mentioned products that will allow proposing interventions to avoid consequences on the health of the neonatal population and pediatric.
