[Lead content of breast milk in heavy traffic and light traffic areas of Tyrol].
The lead content of the milk of 28 breast feeding mothers from various regions in Tyrol was examined using flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. These examinations showed that the milk of women living in places with heavier traffic had a seven-fold higher lead level as compared with the data in women from regions with little traffic. This difference was statistically significant. We also determined the lead level of specimens of drinking water from 7 towns in Tyrol. The mean level was half the value found in maternal milk from women living in low-traffic regions.
