http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp35.pdf
The exact wording that was paraphrased here was, "The proper development of many systems and functions depends on the timely action of hormones, particularly sex steroids; therefore, interfering with such actions can lead to a wide array of effects that may include altered metabolic, sexual, immune, and neurobehavioral functions. Effects of this type, that occur following exposure during fetal life via the placenta or early in life caused by either direct exposure to chemicals or exposure via maternal milk, are discussed in this section."
"DDT from the mother can enter her unborn baby through the placenta. DDT has been found in
amniotic fluid, human placentas, fetuses, and umbilical cord blood. DDT has been measured in
human milk; therefore, nursing infants are also exposed to DDT.
In most cases, however, the
benefits of breast-feeding outweigh any risks from exposure to DDT in mother's milk.
Nevertheless, women with unusually high amounts of DDT or metabolites in their bodies
(compared to background amounts measured in the general population) should be informed of
the potential exposure of the fetus if they become pregnant and the potential risks of breast-
feeding."

ies suggest a possible relationship between
levels of some organohalide residues in
human tissues and breast cancer risk,

Akwesasne is a Native American (Mohawk) population of about 12,000 people residing along the St. Lawrence River in the Mohawk Territory at Akwesasne, near the junction of New York, Ontario, and Quebec. The territory is immediately downstream from three aluminum foundries, all of which used PCBs (Aroclor 1248) as hydraulic fluids, which leaked into the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries and have contaminated the local fish (
Lacetti 1993). The Mohawk population is particularly vulnerable to PCB exposure because of their cultural and historical dependence on local fish, mammals, and waterfowl for food. Although their serum levels of PCBs are only moderately elevated [average, 5.29 ppb in males and 3.97 ppb in females (
DeCaprio et al. 2005)], these values exceed the levels in persons without unusual exposure, which range from 0.9 ppb to 1.5 ppb (
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 2000). PCB levels in Mohawk breast milk (
Hwang et al. 2001) and in serum (
Fitzgerald et al. 2004) have been positively correlated with rates of consumption of local fish, although fish consumption has declined in recent years after consumption advisories were issued in the 1980s (
Fitzgerald et al. 2004). Is the only mention of breast milk.
