چکیده
Molybdenum (Mo) and chromium (Cr) in 79 Japanese breast milk samples were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. For Mo, 51 samples (64.6%) showed less than 5 ng/ml and only 12 samples (15.2%) showed more than 10 ng/ml. The range and median were <0.1 to 25.91 and 3.18 ng/ml respectively. For Cr, 38 samples (48.1%) showed less than 1 ng/ml, 20 samples (25.3%) showed 1 to 2 ng/ml, and only six samples (7.6%) showed more than 5 ng/ml. The range and median were <0.1 to 18.67 and 1.00 ng/ml respectively.
