Investigation of heavy metal contents in Cow milk samples from area of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Abstract: Background: Cow milk is considered as one of the responsible food sources contaminated with heavy metals. The objectives of the study were to assess the content of selected metals in cow milk and its associated human health risks in the food chain of Bangladesh. A total of 90 cow milk samples of Branded, Dairy and Domestically produced milk were collected randomly from different sources of Savar Upazila in Dhaka area. Cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) contents in… Show more

“…Lower results for Cadmium (1.24 µg/ kg) and Lead (3.43 µg/ kg) in cow's milk were reported by Elatrash and Atoweir (2014) in Libya. Lower results for Lead in cow's milk were recorded by Gidikova et al (2016) and Muhib et al (2016). In this study higher levels of heavy metals in cow's and buffalo's milk may be attributed to the high contamination of animal feed and water by such pollutants and could be excreted into milk at various levels.…”
