Determination of lead, cadmium, and arsenic concentrations in breast milk of women living in Misrata, Libya

Breast milk is a unique source of nutrition for infants and provides numerous short- and long-term benefits to mothers and infants. We aimed to detect Pb, Cd, and As levels in breast milk samples, investigate the effect of various factors on the concentrations of these metals in breast milk, and com...
