1 Aldrin and dieldrin residues were monitored in the fat, breast milk and blood serum from female residents of Delhi.

2 The average aldrin and dieldrin contents were 0.048 and 0.099 ppb in adipose tissue, 0.003 and 0.060 ppb in breast milk and 0.004 and 0.002 ppb in blood serum, respectively.

3 The older donors contained higher levels of aldrin and dieldrin in their adipose tissue.

4 Primagravidae contained more of these chemicals in their breast milk.

5 A positive correlation was observed between the aldrin concentration in adipose tissue and breast milk, and that in adipose tissue and blood serum. Similarly, a significant correlation was found between dieldrin in adipose tissue and blood serum.

6 The levels of aldrin and dieldrin were low in samples from residents of Delhi when compared to those in developed countries.
