ABSTRACT
Human breast milk samples from eight southeast Louisiana communities and one in Mississippi were analyzed by the purge and trap plus gas chromatography method for trihalomethane compounds (THMs). THM levels in drinking water samples from the same communities were compared but analysis of variance computations showed no significant correlation between the water and breast milk. THMs do not appear to be extracted from drinking water to concentrate in human breast milk.
