title: Selenium levels in infant milk formula.
abstract: Twenty-four brands of commercial infant milk formula were collected and analysed for selenium by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry with the hydride t-system after an acid digestion procedure. The mean selenium concentration was 49.0 +/- 11.55 micrograms l-1, with a range from 26-68 micrograms l-1, resulting in an adequate daily selenium intake for infants aged from zero to six months consuming 0.75 l milk daily as set by the US National Research Council in 1989.
