Subject: PCB and dioxin in breastmilk


we have a lot of questions about toxins in breastmilk recently in Germany.
The subject seems to be "en vogue" at the moment. So I am looking for actual
figures about the development of the content on PCB and dioxin in breastmilk
during the last years. I searched the net but did not find any actual
figures. Could anybody out there please help me where I will find newer
informations (newer than 1994)? I would be really grateful
