Abstract		The most important sources of polychlorinated pesticides for a human are food and drinks. Higher amounts of polychlorinated pesticides are contained in animal food. The aim of investigations is to find out the amounts of lindan in human and cow milk, and the influence of breast-feeding on the concentration of lindan in the serum of infants. The investigation included a group of 53 accidentally chosen mothers and their infants from the Prekmurje region in 1990. 40 infants were breast-fed, and 13 infants were formulafed. By gas chromatography, we defined lindan in human milk, cow milk adapted for infants and in the serum of infants. The average concentration of lindan in human milk, on the 30th day after delivery, was 53,80 ng/g of fats, with the maximum 335,44 ng/g of fats and the minimum 1,39 ng/g of fats. In the milk adapted for infants, the average amount of fats was 27,75 ng/g, with the highest concentration 178,57 and the lowest 0,79 ng/g of fats. The average concentration of lindan in the serum of breast-fed infants was 0,15 ng/mL, and with formula-fed infants 0,11 ng/mL. The difference is not significant. According to the results, it is very important to follow the concentration of lindan as well as other polychlorinated pesticides in human and cow milk adapted for infants; especially in the regions where the main occupation of inhabitants is agriculture, as is the case in Prekmurje.
