[Breast milk monitoring in Bavaria].

Up to now breast milk analyses of the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority are limited to organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and nitro musks. These chemicals have revealed decreasing background levels in breast milk over the past two decades. To implement a monitoring program with an extended spectrum of substances suspected to be of concern a new concept for breast milk monitoring in Bavaria has been developed.
