1. The chromium concentration was determined in 261 samples of breast milk collected by manual expression from forty-five American women.

2. Cr was measured in whole, liquid milk by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry, using the method of standard additions.

3. The mean Cr content of the breast milk samples was 0.30 ng/ml. The range of individual values was 0.06–1.56 ng/ml and did not change significantly with duration of lactation.

4. The Cr content of breast milk from these American women is similar to levels reported recently in milk from Finnish women.
