“…Milks and plant-based drinks are essential components of the diet of a large part of the population. Most studies have been focused on the determination of essential and nonessential elements in raw milk directly collected from the farm [47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few studies comparing the content of essential and nonessential elements in different types of milks, plant-based drinks and infant formula products found in the market.…”

Although milk and plant-based drinks are widely consumed foodstuffs with high nutritional value, their consumption may also mean intake of non-essential/toxic elements becoming a risk for human health. This study was aimed at determining the concentrations of essential (Ca, Co, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni and P) and non-essential/toxic (Hg, Pb, U and V) elements in milks (cow and goat), plant-based drinks (soy, almond, rice and oat) and infant formulas from organic and conventional production systems. Lactose-free, fresh and ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milks were also included. Chemical analyses were performed by means of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The content of the elements hereby assessed did not depend on the production system and the presence of lactose. However, significant differences were found in the concentrations of multiple elements when comparing sterilization methods, source (animal vs. plant-based) and animal species. Non-essential elements were not detected in milks and plant-based drinks, excepting Pb, which was detected in three samples. While the consumption of goat milk is recommended, considering the global intake of essential elements and the absence of non-essential elements, further studies should be conducted to confirm the absence of non-target toxic elements at very low trace levels. On the other hand, the best plant-based drinks are those made up with almonds (intake of Ca) and soy (K and Mg). The current results should be useful to help the population to balance the benefits and risks from milks and plant-based drinks consumption, as well as to adapt their dietary habits.

“…The metal contamination of milk has been reported earlier in many parts of the world; especially due to anthropogenic activities (Castro Gonzalez et al 2017;Yasotha et al 2020;Boudebbouz et al 2021). Zhou et al (2019) reported that the milk samples were contaminated with Pb from industrially polluted area in Tangshan province, China.…”

“…Raghu (2015) reported that the milk samples from a barite mining site in Kadapa District, Andhra Pradesh were significantly contaminated with Ba, Co, Sr and Zn. Yasotha et al (2020) reported that the milk samples collected from the cows reared in industrial areas of Erode District, Tamil Nadu were contaminated with Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn. Hence, from the literature, it was evident that metals pave their way through contaminated forage/water to the cattle; eventually into the milk and subsequent food chains.…”

The water bodies within the industrial areas are often used for the disposal of effluents leading to heavy metal contamination in water, soil, and vegetation. However, the impact of this metal enrichment on the food web has not been much explored. The present study investigates the food chain contamination of eight metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in the milk from the cattle grazing on a shallow lake bed within the industrial town of Ranipet, India, and associated health risk from the consumption in adults and children. The average concentrations were found to be 24.93, 7.08, 3.31, 0.18, 0.12, 0.08, 0.014, and 0.008 in mg/L for Zn, Al, Fe, Cr, Pb, Mn, Cu, and Cd, respectively. The hazard indices ranged from 0.55 to 1.85 for children; the Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk (ILCR) values of Cd and Cr were above 10 − 4 for consumption of milk in both adults and children, which signify serious health risk. The mass balance evaluates the primary intake of all the metals, except Al, are from forage; where for Al it is from the soil. The existing milk consumption patterns projected that 531 children and 1279 adults, drinking contaminated milk are at considerable risk. The analyses of tail switch hair samples indicated the cattle are also environmentally exposed to metals indicating their subclinical effect. Hence the study alerts the elevated and often overlooked risk associated with the food chain contamination from milk in the industrial belt and recommends stringent quality control and monitoring.

“…Estudios sugieren que las actividades industriales son una de las principales fuentes de contaminación por plomo (Pb) y cadmio (Cd) en la leche, también se considera que la principal fuente de arsénico (As) se encuentra en el agua (Chowdhury et al, 2016), y el plomo (Pb) es trasferido al ensilaje que es suministrado al ganado , encontrándose que la distribución de los elementos está relacionado con el suministro dietético a través del forraje (Diyabalanage et al, 2021), también se encontraron correlaciones positivas significativas entre la concentración de cobre (Cu) y cadmio (Cd) en muestras de leche y forraje (Yasotha et al, 2021), concentraciones elevadas de aluminio (Al) fueron encontradas en ganado lechero cerca de plantas productoras de alimentos (Boudebbouz et al, 2021). Estudios de contaminación in situ en granjas reportan contaminación extrema por concentraciones elevadas de arsénico (As) en el…”

La presencia y distribución de metales pesados se ha generalizado a nivel mundial esto debido a que su tasa de transporte, distribución y bioacumulación es elevada, apoyada en el incremento de los procesos industriales, minero, el crecimiento de la agricultura, ganadería tecnifica, y problemas de contaminación, la incidencia de estos elementos se ha tornado ubica, convirtiéndose en un tema de preocupación mundial, su ingreso a los principales sistemas de producción tal es el caso de la ganadería y su existencia en los principales alimentos que consumen las personas, tal es el caso de la leche de vaca. El objetivo de la presente revisión radicó en la identificación y descripción de las principales fuentes de contaminación por metales pesados en la ganadería partiendo de las de origen antrópico, revisando las de origen natural y diversos aspectos de producción que influyen en el incremento de la contaminación, también se analizó la trasferencia de estos elementos hacia el animal, incidencias en la salud y productividad, seguido de la identificación de los principales metales pesados como arsénico (As), aluminio (Al), cobre (Cu), Hierro (Fe), mercurio (Hg), niquel (Ni), cadmio (Cd) y plomo (Pb), cuya presencia en la leche presentan un riesgo para la salud humana, lográndose reportar las principales concentraciones referenciales establecidas por las normas internacionales en leche para asegurar la salud alimentaria.
