Abstract

During lactation, Cd-levels in human milk were determined by means of flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The levels in colostrum were some 50–65% higher than in transitional and mature milk.

Zusammenfassung

In Frauenmilch wurde während der Laktationszeit mittels flammenloser AAS der Cd-Gehalt nach dem Additionsverfahren bestimmt. Im Kolostrum lag der Cd-Gehalt um ca. 50–65% höher als in der transitorischen und reifen Milch.
