such as pesticides p, p’ DDE, o, p DDT, p, p’ DDT, methoxycholr and
kepone for the control of parasites. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the level of organochlorine pesticides in breast milk of Saudi lactating
mothers (Jeddah). Breast milk samples, randomly collected
from 13 Saudi donors were analyzed for chlorinated pesticides, using
SFE and gas chromatography connected to electron capture detector
(ECD). DDE was found in four samples only and ranged from 0.01-
0.02 ppm, and DDT was found in one sample and contains 0.043
