title: [Trace elements in baby nutrition: arsenic, lead, cadmium (author's transl)].
abstract: The uptake by babies from nutritional sources of lead, cadmium and arsenic was evaluated during the first twelve months of life. Arsenic, lead and cadmium consumptions were in the range of 0.03--0.15, 0.18--2.50, 0.04--0.61 mg/person and month respectively. The total uptake expressed in microgram/kg body weight was compared with figures from a study undertaken with adults. In this comparison arsenic and cadmium uptake was within the same range. An exeption was lead uptake, which was much higher in babies, than in adults.
