“…However, at high concentrations, they can cause toxicity to living organisms (Li et al, 2005).Accumulation of lead produces damaging effects in the hematopoetical, hematic, renal, gastrointestinal systems (Correia et al, 2000). Due to the growing environmental pollution it is necessary to determine and monitor the levels of heavy metals in milk, because they can significantly influence human health (Licata et al, 2004). The aim of this investigation was to determine the levels of toxic heavy metals Cadmium and Lead in raw cow's and buffalo's milk in El-Behera region, Egypt.…”

A b s t r a c t A r t i c l e I n f oThe collected bovine milk samples (n= 30) were analyzed for determination of Cadmium and Lead contents. Cadmium and Lead levels were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after wet digestion. The levels of Cadmium in all analyzed samples 30 (100%) were found to be over the permissible limit for Cadmium in liquid milk. The levels of Lead exceeded the permissible limit in 13(72.22%) and 4(33.33%) of analyzed Cow's milk and Buffalo's milk samples, respectively. The mean concentrations of Cadmium in examined cow's milk samples (n=18) were 0.3067 ± 0.0086 (mg/L) and 0.3084 ± 0.0087 (mg/L) for the examined buffalo's milk samples (n=12), while the mean concentrations of Lead were 0.0934 ± 0.0188 (mg/L) for the examined cow's milk and 0.05878 ± 0.0178(mg/L) for examined buffaloe's milk. Estimated daily intake of Cadmium was found above the permissible limits in all examined milk. Also, the estimated daily intake of Lead was found above the permissible limits in examined cow's milk, while estimated daily intake of Lead in examined buffalo's milk was found under permissible limit. Public health significance and hazardous of these heavy metals were discussed.

“…Milk is the fundamental food for infants and the daily intake of the heavy metals Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn can be determine by different age groups of infants through different milks and baby foods. Heavy metals can enter to milk and dairy products and affect the health of people who have consumed contaminate milk and dairy products [39].…”

Chemical residues which could contaminants cow milk are chlorinated pesticides, organophosphates, herbicides, fungicides, antihelminthetic drugs, antibiotic, hormones, detergents and disinfectants, nitrites, poly chlorinated, poly brominated biphenyles, dioxins, mycotoxins, heavy metals and somatotropin hormone. Antibiotics such as betalactams, tetracycline, amino glycosides (e.g. streptomycin, neomycin and gentamycin), macrolides (e.g. erythromycin) and sulfonamides are the source of residues. Because of the public health significance, milk and milk products contaminated with antibiotics beyond a given residue levels, considered unfit for human consumption. Problems associated with antibiotic residues in milk include the risk of allergic reactions and occurrence of antibioticresistant bacteria, teratogenicity risk to the foetus, hypoplasia in developing teeth, aplasia of bone marrow, chronic insidious intake lead to elevated cancer risk and disruption of body's reproductive, immune, endocrine and nervous system. Organochlorine pesticides are substances containing contaminants classes: The dichlorodiphenylethanes, the chlorinated cyclodienes (aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, etc.), and the hexachlorocyclohexanes (lindane). The most common effects of the wide spread of organochlorine compounds in the environment are birth defects, neurological effects, behavioral effects, reproductive effects and cancer. The occurrence of chemical residues in the milk of lactating cows is a matter of public health concern, since dairy products are widely consumed by infants, children and many adults throughout the world. Governments have responsibility for making regulations to protect consumers against harm arising from chemical in food. The regulation of illegal residues in foods is a cooperative effort of Food Safety and Inspection Services, Feed and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. However, inEthiopia not yet attention given regarding to set standards, control measures and monitoring program of chemical residues in animal originated foodstuff.

“…Nel latte ovino, invece, gli elementi che mostrano valori confrontabili con quelli riportati in altri studi (6,7,8,9) sono Co, Fe, Mn, Se e Zn. In questo lavoro è stata confermata anche l'influenza della stagionalità (10,11,12) nella composizione degli elementi in traccia nel latte durante l'intero periodo di campionamento (autunno-invernoprimavera). Tale fenomeno, dovuto principalmente alle variazioni della temperatura e del fotoperiodo (6), fattori che verosimilmente influenzano la secrezione ormonale, il metabolismo e la composizione dei vegetali (13), è stato evidenziato solo per alcuni elementi: Mn e Pb per il latte ovino e Co, Cd, Mn e Pb per il latte bovino.…”

Sicurezza e qualità sono i cardini della politica adottata dall'Unione Europea in campo alimentare per fronteggiare gli avvenimenti degli ultimi decenni quali le clamorose emergenze alimentari, l'apertura dei mercati, le innovazioni tecnologiche, frodi e adulterazioni alimentari etc., e ciò allo scopo di proteggere e tutelare la salute del cittadino e recuperare l'ormai logorato rapporto di fiducia tra consumatore e produttore. La determinazione degli elementi chimici essenziali (Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Se, Zn), tossici (As, Cd, Cr, Pb) e di altri contaminanti inorganici come i radionuclidi gamma emettitori (Cs-134 e Cs-137) in matrici alimentari, riveste quindi un'importanza fondamentale costituendo un indispensabile strumento per una concreta valutazione da un lato delle proprietà nutrizionali dell'alimento e dall'altro dell'esposizione e del rischio per la salute dell'uomo. Inoltre qualità e sicurezza degli alimenti sono strettamente legate all'inquinamento ambientale causato dal continuo incremento delle attività antropiche. Tale fenomeno ha suscitato negli organismi pubblici preposti alla tutela della salute della popolazione e dell'ambiente, un crescente interesse nella valutazione del rischio sanitario al fine di poter intraprendere eventuali azioni correttive. L'obiettivo principale di questo lavoro è quindi quello di analizzare gli elementi in traccia, essenziali e tossici, unitamente ai radionuclidi gamma artificiali, in campioni di latte di due diverse specie animali, bovina ed ovina, determinando i valori medi ed evidenziando le eventuali differenze, statisticamente significative, interspecie. Gli stessi dati potranno anche fornire un primo quadro generale del livello di contaminazione ambientale presente nel territorio del Parco Nazionale del Gargano e approfondire le conoscenze scientifiche sul contenuto
