For this reason, and due to the fact that not many texts exist on subject, we wanted to find out the concentration level of copper, iron, manganese and chromium in italian human milk arid the longitudinal variations during the first three months of breast-feeding. We have carried out 204 determinations in total, through GFAAS with zeeman effect, on milk as is, avoiding any type of chemical treatment.
