Abstract
The aluminium content of several commercially available infant milk formulas was measured by electrochemical atomic absorption spectrometry. Results were compared with those for fresh breast milk, cow''s milk, and local tap water. Differences in aluminium concentration of greater than 150-fold were found, with the lowest concentrations in breast milk.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
