Appendix D Food Codes for NHANES - OEHHA

Scientific Review PanelSRP Draft Version 2 February,June 2012
sensitivity of infants to carcinogens necessitates looking into development of
mother’s milk transfer factors (Tco) for carcinogenic PAHs.
Four studies have measured PAHs in mother’s milk of smokers and non-smokers
(see Table J.3-2). The 16 PAHs reported in these studies are among the most
common PAHs released into the environment and found in biological samples
(Phillips, 1999; Ramesh et al., 2004).
