    Author: Dang HS, Jaiswal DD, Somasundaram S, Deshpande A, Dacosta H.
    Journal: Sci Total Environ; 1984 Apr 05; 35(1):85-9. PubMed ID: 6729439.
    Abstract:
    Concentrations are reported for Cu, Mn, Mo and Zn in human milk samples obtained from mothers belonging to low and middle per capita family income groups. The trace element levels in milk of both groups are compared for samples obtained at two stages, viz. 3-5 days and 4-6 weeks post partum. Although the Mn level during the first stage appears to be lower in samples from the low income group, the difference is not statistically significantly (p less than or equal to 0.01). However, at 4-6 weeks post partum, Zn is significantly lower (p less than or equal to 0.01) in milk of mothers belonging to this group.
