A study of 45 human fat samples from autopsy and surgery specimens from Delhi showed a mean total DDT level of 6.37 micrograms/g (SE +/- 0.36; range 3.34-9.12 micrograms/g). While these values compare well with those reported from India and abroad, they are much lower than those obtained from other areas of Delhi, confirming wide variation in the quantity of DDT sprayed in different pockets of this city. Twenty one human milk samples from Delhi showed a mean total DDT level of 0.144 ppm (micrograms/ml). Thus, many infants in Delhi appear to be consuming 3 to 5 times the permissible 5 micrograms/kg/day quantity of DDT. This study too indicates the need of continuous monitoring of DDT and other insecticides commonly used in India.
