Experiences
• Mothers Milk– Incorporation of Ministry of
Health facilitated permits for collection of Mothers milk samples
– Identification of clinics and mothers was facilitated Ministry of Health
– Creation of rapport with mothers helped them understand the reason for giving the samples
• Air/Water• Distance to sampling sites is far thus required detailed planning and scheduling

Capacity enhancement needsand expectations
• Training in analysis of new POPs eg. PBDEs, PFOS,
• Inter‐calibration studies to monitor laboratory performance.
• Greater collaboration among the regional countries in POPs monitoring activities.
