LEAD AND CADMIUM LEVELS IN RAW COW‘S MILK IN LITHUANIA DETERMINED BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA SECTOR FIELD MASS SPECTROMETRY

Raw milk from 15 districts in Lithuania was analysed in winter and grazing seasons in 2005. Lead and cadmium were determined by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry. Mean cadmium concentrations in winter milk samples amounted to 0.37 μg/kg (0.25-0.49 μg/kg) and in summer ones 0.18 μg/kg (0.11-0.23 μg/kg). The mean concentrations of lead in samples collected in winter and in summer were 0.47 μg/kg (0.17-1.0 μg/kg) and 0.54 μg/kg (0.06-1.76 μg/kg), respectively. No individual sample exceeded the Lithuanian norm value for lead (20 μg/kg). The health quality of Lithuanian milk can be considered as very high in the aspect of cadmium and lead contamination.

W latach 2022-2024 kwartalnik naukowy Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences realizuje projekt nr RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 finansowany ze środków budżetu państwa – Ministerstwo Edukacji i Nauki w ramach programu „Rozwój czasopism naukowych”. Dofinansowanie wynosi 120 000 zł. W ramach projektu podejmowane są działania zmierzające do podniesienia poziomu praktyk wydawniczych i edytorskich, zwiększenia wpływu czasopism na rozwój nauki oraz utrzymania się czasopism w międzynarodowym obiegu naukowym.

In the years 2022-2024, the scientific quarterly Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences accomplishes a project no. RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 financed from the state budged – Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Poland in the framework of a program “Development of scientific journals”. The financing amounts to 120,000 PLN. The program aims at improving the level of publishing and editing practices, increasing the impact of scientific journals on science development, and extending the international range of scientific journals.
