This study analyzed heavy metal concentrations in five powdered milk samples from Senegal using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). Aluminum was undetected or negligible, while calcium levels exceeded the Acceptable Maximum Level (AML) in all samples, with H1 surpassing it by 11.1 times. Potassium levels varied, with G1 significantly exceeding the AML, whereas V1 was within limits. Chlorine levels were mostly compliant, except for G1, which slightly exceeded the AML. Phosphorus in H1 was notably higher than the AML. The variability in heavy metal concentrations highlights the need for further research and regulatory measures to ensure powdered milk safety.

This study used X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to analyze heavy metal and elemental contents in five Senegalese powdered milk samples, focusing on Aluminum, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorous, and Chlorine. Aluminum was largely absent, indicating minimal risk from this element. However, Calcium levels exceeded the Acceptable Maximum Level (AML) in all samples, with the H1 sample surpassing it by 11.1 times, posing a risk of excessive intake. Potassium levels varied, with the G1 sample significantly exceeding the AML, potentially posing health concerns. Chlorine levels were mostly within limits, except for a slight excess in the G1 sample. The study highlights the need for ongoing monitoring to ensure milk safety.
