Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Abstract
Introduction:
Apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have special role in infant diet after six month. Lead is a heavy toxic metal that enter to food chain unavoidably. Infants and young children are the most risky group to this metal. The aim of this study is to determine the concentration of lead in brands of powder milk and baby weaning food.
Materials and methods:
Infant formula (n=240) and baby weaning foods(n=240)based on rice and wheat were prepared from market in Tehran, Iran. Due to the complex composition of the samples the concentration was determined using the standard addition technique by Differential pulse anodic stripping voltametry (DPASV) method.
Results:
Total Mean SE of lead in wheat (n = 120), rice (n = 120) baby foods, powder milk A(n = 120) and B(n = 120) were 0.07 0.01, 0.02 0.01, 0.01 0.00 and 0.05 ± 0.00 mg/kg respectively. Totally 0.445 0.006 and 0.007 0.003 mg/kg in baby foods and powder milks. In each four products, level of lead was lower than the standard limit (P < 0.05). Amount of lead in wheat baby food had difference versus other products. Concentration of lead in rice baby food was higher than infant formulas, but are in standard limit( 0.2 mg/kg).
Conclusion
The result of this study shows that toxic heavy element of Pb in baby weaning food and infant formula samples in Iran, are within safety limits. But it seems that there is need to good quality control periodically.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Mayumi Ishizuka
general secretary
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : The Kobe Convention Center, consisting of the Kobe International Conference Center and Kobe International Exhibition Hall (just a few minute walk from each other), is easily reached from Kansai International Airport (KIX). The city of Kobe, located near Osaka and Kyoto, has a long and unique history as a major port town introducing various foreign cultures to Japan and hence has a very rich international flavor.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The ticket was too expensive, it is in our dream that the university can help to charg it.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : It has become clear that there is a growing need for greater scientific precision during investigations that could contribute to the protection of people from various chemical hazards. Throughout its past annual meetings, the JSOT is proud to have been a forum for meeting participants to convey their latest scientific achievements in the field of Toxicology. Continuing along this line, the main theme for the 41st Annual Meeting has been set as “Translation from Basic to Applied Research”.

The congress were preparing a variety of lectures, symposia, and workshops. Attendees will learn about new findings in Toxicology via platform and poster sessions, settings where they can closely interact with other scientists in intense-yet-friendly atmospheres. In addition, the Annual Meeting will be playing host to a huge exposition where attendees can be introduced to new technologies and products that might be useful in supporting their research.
