    Author: Baldini M, Coni E, Stacchini A, Stacchini P.
    Journal: Ann Ist Super Sanita; 1990; 26(2):167-75. PubMed ID: 2260793.
    Abstract:
    The presence of some xenobiotics such as toxic metals, PCBs, pesticides and micotoxins in both human and cow milk as well as in dairy products is evaluated on the basis of currently available data. The problems hindering a thorough risk assessment for the said toxicants are highlighted. As regards elements, the results of a study carried out on three different classes of products, namely, bulk milk from various regions of Italy, milk from one particular farm and several types of cheese available to the public at large, are reported and discussed. Quantitative determinations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn have been carried out by means of graphite furnace absorption spectrometry.
