Background: Cow milk is considered as one of the responsible food sources contaminated with heavymetals. The objectives of the study were to assess the content of selected metals in cow milk and itsassociated human health risks in the food chain of Bangladesh. A total of 90 cow milk samples of Branded,Dairy and Domestically produced milk were collected randomly from different sources of Savar Upazila inDhaka area. Cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) contentsin collected milk samples were determined using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). To ensurequality control, one of the best quality control parameters i.e. recovery test; from eight various sampledigestion methods were used. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Carcinogenic Risk (CR) values were alsocalculated.Results: From the results, it was found that, the orders of heavy metal content in brand, dairy anddomestic cow milk were Cr > Fe > Cu>Mn > Cd > Pb, Cr > Fe > Mn > Cu > Cd > Pb and Fe > Cr > Mn > Cu >Cd > Pb, respectively. Among the six metals, only Cr showed to exceed the highest Estimated Daily Intake(EDI) rate (for brand cow milk: 0.413 mg/day, dairy farm cow milk: 0.243 mg/day, domestic cow milk: 0.352 mg/day),and the comparison percentages of calculated values per permeable values were as follows;206.5 % for brand cow milk,121.5 % for dairy farm cow milk and 176.0 % for domestic cow milk. HazardQuotients (HQ) values and Carcinogenic Risk (CR) values were found within the acceptable level.Conclusion: Although, the metal content in sampled cow milks were within the safe limit, the potential humanhealth risks cannot be neglected for the regular/long time consumption of heavy metal contained cow milk
