This study is descriptive, involving analyzes based on data from Brazilian milk banks. The objective of this study was to evaluate if there is data obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), atomic absorption spectrophotometry with electrothermal atomization (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) in the quantification of macroelements and microelements in milk collected and distributed by the Brazilian National Network of Human Milk Bank. Such analyzes can assure the quality of this milk, and it is essential to know its mineral profile or nutritional toxicity. It was verified that there is no information or results involving heavy metals or non-metals obtained from the quantification of milk donated or distributed by the Brazilian milk banks.
