Table 2.

Parameter values of the model applied to postnatal PCB 153 serum concentration values in 305 infants of our cohort. Cbf,∞ is a hypothetical limit value of PCB 153 concentration increase for t and time of breastfeeding, tbf, converging to infinity and Cf,∞ is a hypothetical limit value of PCB 153 concentration increase for t converging to infinity and tbf converging to zero and MT is mean time, months, of PCB 153 in the body of infants. Area under the curve from time zero to 72 months, AUC, is in ng.months.(g lipids)−1. C0 is concentration in cord blood serum.
