Abstract

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to compare the concentrations of essential and non-essential potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) in milk samples collected at different lactation stages from cows reared in industrial and non-industrial areas in Hatay, to determine the possible contamination pathways of PTEs in raw milk, and to reveal the potential risk of exposure to these elements through the consumption of milk in adults. For this purpose, a total of 216 individual raw cows’ milk samples, 72 drinking water samples and 72 feed samples were collected from 24 dairy farms. The levels of selected PTEs were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Health risk assessment was revealed by calculating the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and carcinogenic risk (CR). All elements, except for Cd and Hg, were detected in all analyzed samples. THQ values calculated for all elements, except Al, were found to be below 1. In addition, in the CR assessment, As and Cr values were found to be higher than acceptable risk values, while Pb element was found to be between acceptable values. Our results highlight that exposure to Al, As, and Cr through milk consumption in this region may lead to health risks in adults.
