Good quality measurements are essential to control and maintain milkand its products and processes quality, both in manufacturing trade and in research. The presence of toxic elements in milk and its products may create significant health problems for people. The aim of this paper was to determine the content of toxic and trace elements in different milk and milk products samples, sold in major supermarkets chains in Najran. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emissionspectrometry (ICP-AES) was used for the quantitative determination of elements in this matrix .Analysis were
performed after the chemical mineralization of the samples with nitrogen acid
