Zinc and copper levels were measured in human milk obtained from women on the 4th postpartum day living in 8 different localities of Slovakia including industrial, agricultural and control areas. Contents of the trace elements were determined in samples of infant formulae, too. A method of flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used. The calculated daily intakes of Zn and Cu (3.09 and 0.292 mg per capita, resp.) were much lower than the recommended daily allowances for infants at age of 0-6 months as defined in the Slovak Republic (5 and 0.5 mg per person, respectively). Discrepancies in evaluation of contents and intakes of the studied elements as nutritional factors and contaminants in infant nutrition are discussed
