Milk and milk products are a significant part of healthy
diet. However, contamination of milk can be dangerous and
detrimental for the health of consumers. The safety of milk and
milk products decreases with increasing concentration of toxic
compounds and environmental pollutants. The study was aimed
to investigate the contents of some heavy metals in 30 samples
of commercially available milk and milk products (dahi, cheese,
paneer, khoa and milk powder) collected from five different
vendors, from Karnal district of Haryana (India) to know whether
the intakes comply with the permissible levels for toxic elements.
Mean concentration of all the heavy metals analyzed showed a
range of 3.38-26.4, 3.16- 13.89, 3.77- 21.04 and 3.34- 10.68 ppb for
cadmium, lead, arsenic and mercury, respectively. Results
indicated that the content of cadmium was maximum in all the
samples except for paneer, where mercury concentration was
maximum.
