The study analyzed chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, MCCPs, LCCPs) in human milk from areas in China and Scandinavia, finding higher concentrations in samples from the Yangtze River Delta compared to those from Sweden and Norway.
Most samples contained more MCCPs, and LCCP levels were greater than those of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the same regions.
The findings suggest a potential health risk for Chinese infants due to SCCP exposure via breastfeeding, with variation in concentrations indicating first-time mothers had significantly higher levels than second-time mothers.

Short-, medium-, and long-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs) were analyzed in human milk from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Scandinavia. Individual samples were collected from Shanghai, Jiaxing, and Shaoxing (China), Stockholm (Sweden), and Bodø (Norway) between 2010 and 2016. Mean concentrations (range) of SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs in samples from the YRD were 124 [
