Abstract

Children's nourishment has the most priority in every plan that follows children's health care; also, milk contamination with various toxic elements can have unfavourable effects on children's health. This study was accomplished to determine the amount of cadmium in women's breast milk in Varamin region of Iran. In this study, the relationship between different factors with the amount of cadmium was assessed. In this research, the amount of cadmium in the breast milk of 100 mothers visiting the selected clinics in Varamin was reviewed 4 to 8 weeks after delivery. Cadmium and chromium concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. According to our findings, the average cadmium in breast milk was equal to 5± 6.9 mg/mL. The amount of cadmium was more in the breast milk of mothers living nearer to a factory or an industrial center. The present study indicated the relation of some factors with the amounts of elements evaluated. The cadmium levels of breast milk in this study were higher than the reported work.
