Abstract
⺠Human exposure to PCBs, PBDEs and HBCDs was done in Ghana using breast milk samples. ⺠Significant increases were found in the levels of PCBs and PBDEs over the years. ⺠All the mothers had hazard quotient values exceeding the threshold of 1 for PCBs. ⺠This is the first study to report BFRs in human breast milk from Africa.
