title: [Determination of the concentration of copper, lead, cadmium and zinc in milk by atomic absorption spectrophotometry].
abstract: Developed was an atom-absorption method for determining microconcentrations of copper, lead, cadmium, and zink in milk originating from various regions of this country. The study was carried out by means of an atom-absorption spectrophotometer AA-5. Established were the optimal conditions for determining the trace elements reaching the following values of susceptibility: for copper--0.04; for lead--0.11; for cadmium--0.001; and for zinc--0.009 mg/cu.cm, with an allowance of 5%. The results obtained are discussed and statistically processed. Literature data are comparatively studied reflecting the amounts of these elements in milk as found in this country and abroad. Such data will be made use of in the elaboration of Bulgarian reference tables necessary for establishing various regimes and norms concerning the food products offered in children creches, hospitals, canteens, etc.
