Abstract

The concentration of Al, As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn were determined in the milk collected from the locally rearing cows from the vicinity of copper mining areas of East Singhbhum and iron mining areas of West Singhbhum using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry for a risk assessment and source apportionment study. Principal component analysis suggested both natural and anthropogenic activities as causative sources of metals in the milk. The hazard indices ranged from 0.26 to 0.89 with a mean of 0.56 in the iron mining areas and 0.29-1.89 with a mean of 1.17 in the copper mining areas due to ingestion of milk, which indicated that the risk is negligible in the iron mining areas while there is an appreciable risk to the health of consumers of milk in the copper mining areas.
