N2  - Effect of some factors such as mothers' age, body mass index, mothers' participation in agricultural work, duration of mothers' participation in agricultural work, number of participation hours per day, parity, number of breast feeding per day and dietary habits on organochlorine pesticide (O.C.Ps) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) residues concentrations in mothers' milk was studied. This study was conducted on 60 lactating mothers selected randomly from the attendants to EIHokamaa Maternal & Child Health Center in Zagazig City(urban area) and EISaadeen Hospital in Menia Al-Kamh Center(rural area) at Sharkia governorate, Egypt. All mothers filled a pre-constructed questionnaire and milk samples were taken from them for determination of OCPs and PCBs concentrations. The obtained results showed a significant positive correlation between sum DDTs levels and mothers' age, duration of mothers' participation in agricultural work, number of participation hours per day in agriculture and average number of consumption of meat, fish, eggs and dairy products per week (foods of animal origin). A significant positive correlation was also found between sum PCBs levels and average number of weekly consumption of meat, fish and eggs. The mean concentrations of p,p'-DDT and sum DDTs were significantly higher in mothers' milk who participated in agricultural work, while the mean concentrations of heptachlor, aldrin and chlordane were significantly higher in mothers' milk who didn't participate in agricultural work. The mean concentrations of p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDT, sum DOTs and sum PCBs were significantly higher in mothers' milk who fed their infants ≤ 10 times/day
