ABSTRACT
A study was carried out to determine the concentration of heavy metals and trace elements in milk and dairy products collected from local farms, supermarkets, or food retailers in the region of Lazio (Central Italy). Persistent exposure to metal contamination is of particular concern for human health, as it can cause different serious disorders. The monitoring of the matrices studied is therefore important, given their high consumption in the daily diet. The elements determined by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry) were lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo) and thallium (Tl), for a total of 151 measurements in 98 samples. The results showed that 11.3% of the measurements were quantifiable but below the legal maximum limits (MLs) set by EU regulations. The data obtained may be useful for dietary exposure information, inter-regional comparisons and for planning regional surveillance strategies.
