Increasing technological developments, at the same time, bring environmental pollution. Increasing heavy metals and metallic compounds in soil, water and air as a result of industrialization pass through the food chain to humans and animals and have a negative effect on health. In this study, we aimed to determine the amounts of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) heavy metals and copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) metals in 4 different raw milk samples taken from raw milk collection centers in Yumrutaş (Yumrutaş 1st and 2nd Region), Bademli and Kargın Districts of Acıpayam in Denizli. The quantities of heavy metals and metals in the collected milk samples were determined spectrophotometrically in the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Accordingly, Pb was highest in the Kargın District (0.574 ppm); Cd was highest in Yumurutaş District 2nd Region (0.567 ppm); Cu was highest in Kargın District (0.067 ppm); Cr was highest in Yumurutaş District 1st Region (0.245 ppm) and Co was highest in Kargın (0.45 ppm) in collected raw milk samples. We think that the presence of metal and heavy metal contamination in raw milk samples collected for presentation on the market poses a health threat and it is necessary to determine the ways of contamination and to take precautions of these contaminants
