Abstract

Twenty samples of milk powder from two brands [10 samples each] and milk-based infant formula [10 samples] were randomly collected from different localities in Alexandria Governorate and investigated for the levels of lead, cadmium, and copper using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The mean lead levels in the examined samples were 0.49 + 0.08, 0.6 + 0.11, and 0.29 + 0.03 ppm, respectively. The mean cadmium levels in the examined samples were 0.08 + 0.02, 0.15 + 0.09, and 0.06 + 0.01 ppm, respectively, While the mean copper levels were 0.21 + 0.02, 0.24 + 0.06, and 0.29 + 0.04 ppm, respectively. Suggestive measures to protect children from excessive intake of lead, cadmium, and copper are given.
