Danger of cadmium exposure lies in its having a very long biological half-life. Accumulation in the renal cortex begins at birth, the critical concentration is 200 u. gig. Smog from automotive industry, galvanised kitchen utensils, water from cadmium stabilised PCV pipes, home processing of tobacco leaves and tobacco smoke render exposure to cadmium. Foliated and bulbous vegetables, meat and milk would also be vulnerable. In Manisa, cadmium in serum of children living in down town polluted districts show an increasing trend from 0-2 to 7-15 years and thus requires urgent preventive measures. Looking for other unknown vulnerable pollutants, in the present study, cadmium in breast milk of women living in the same polluted districts of Manisa Was found to be 0.050+ 0.006 u. g/L (atomic absorption spectrophotometer, Perkin Elmer, 2380), equal in amount to the cadmium level in non-polluted water. In conclusion, in the present study it is shown that breast milk is not considered a risk factor for infants yet. However, in communities under risk of cadmium pollution it might be important to know the cadmium level in breast milk since it is the sole food for suckling.
