Abstract

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Trace metals of selenium and arsenic are essential for normal growth and healthy living of humans especially children. The Madras district is divided into five zones and from each zone cow and buffalo milk were collected in the early morning at the time of milking and preserved. The preserved samples were pre-processed using Trichloro acetic acid and estimated for selenium and arsenic contents using ICP-minitorch model 3410, ARL. Selenium and arsenic levels in milk ranged from ND to 5.2 mug.l and 25.73 | 5.25 mug/l to 100.42 | mug/l respectively, both of which fall with in the permissible limit.
