“…Average concentration for Pb (0.05 mg/Kg) (Table 4) was lower than the permissible limit (0.3 mg/Kg) [38] and higher than that reported in samples of apples collected in production areas of China and in different supermarkets in Serbia [11] [37] are higher than the concentration found in our study. Pb has been classified as a possible human carcinogen, and there are also reports that this metal can cause neurological, renal, cardiovascular, hematological, reproductive and gastrointestinal effects [41], which is why the introduction of this metal should be avoided in the food chain, since its accumulation in the human organism can lead to serious health problems.…”

“…Average Cu concentration (0.06 mg/kg) obtained in this study (Table 4) showed a value below the permissible limit (73 mg/kg) established by [38]. In our study, the concentration of Cu in apples coincides in order of magnitude with that reported by [12] in samples of apples collected in Pakistan, this concentration being lower than that reported by [10] (Table 4) was below the permissible limit (67 mg/kg) [38], this value is slightly higher (0.06 mg/Kg) than reported in samples of apples grown in China [11] and lower than that reported in samples of apples collected in different sites in Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey, respectively [9] (Table 4). About health effects, exposure to Ni has been reported to cause skin allergies, pulmonary fibrosis, cytotoxicity, iatrogenic nickel poisoning and cancer of the respiratory tract, lung cancer and nasal cancer [41].…”

The intake of heavy metals through food consumption is a food safety problem that severely impacts the health of consumers, so information about food intake and heavy metal concentrations in food products is required to estimate the potential risk to the health of the population. The main purpose of this study was to estimate the potential risks to human health from exposure to Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn through the intake of Malus domestica Golden De

54HYGIENA § § 62(2) § 54-61 PŘEHLEDOVÉ PRÁCE SÚHRNNové tendencie v oblasti hodnotenia rizika z expozície cudzorodým látkam vrátane tej z potravín sú reakciou na zrýchľujúci sa pokrok v oblasti vedy, metodiky hodnotenia rizika, generovania a prístupu k obrovskému množstvu dát o rôznych faktoroch a parametroch, zmenám v regulačnom prostredí. Na druhej strane samé osebe vytvárajú ďalšie výzvy. Možno konštatovať, že je jednoznačná tendencia k integrovanému prístupu v hodnotení rizika expozície cudzorodým látkam vrátane expozície z potravinového reťazca na viacerých úrovniach. Cieľom uplatňovania týchto prístupov je, že výsledok procesu hodnotenia rizika, jeho kvalifikovaný odhad zakotvený legislatívne, sa bude v najväčšej možnej miere blížiť reálnej situácii. Takto poskytne spoľahlivý podklad pre efektívne riadenie únosnosti miery rizika pre zdravie ľudí za účelom jeho minimalizácie pri rešpektovaní princípu predbežnej opatrnosti.Kľúčové slová: hodnotenie zdravotných rizík (HRA), xenobiotika, ťažké kovy, dietárna expozícia, potraviny SUMMARYNew trends in risk assessment of exposure to xenobiotics (including via food) respond to rapid advances in science, risk assessment methodologies, the generation of and access to a huge volume of data on various factors and parameters and changes in the regulatory environment. On the other hand, as such they constitute additional challenges. There is a clear tendency for an integrated approach to risk assessment of exposure to xenobiotics including those in the food chain on several levels. The aim of these approaches is to ensure that the result of the risk assessment process by its qualified estimation as established by law reflects as closely as possible the real situation. In this way a reliable basis for effective management of acceptable levels of the health risk is provided in the interests of minimizing risk and respecting the precautionary principle. Množstvo chemických látok antropogénneho a prí-rodného pôvodu vstupuje do krmív pre zvieratá, potravín a vody buď ako nežiadúce kontaminanty alebo ako súčasť zložiek stravy (1). Xenobiotiká sú kontaminanty v biosfére, aj keď nie všetky kontaminanty sú xenobiotiká. Syntetické xenobiotiká tvoria zvyčajne chemické látky, ako sú napr. produkty petrochémie, pesticídy a plasty. Stále rastúci podiel populácie ľudí je cestou potravinového reťazca a pitnou vodou vystavených pôso-beniu širokého spektra rôznych xenobiotík (2). Legislatíva Európskej únie definuje kontaminanty ako látky, ktoré neboli zámerne pridané do potraviny a ktoré sú v potravine prítomné ako dôsledok produkcie (vrátane operácií uskutočnených v rámci pestovania a zberu plodín, chovu dobytka a veterinárneho lekárstva), výroby, spracovania, úpravy, ošetrenia, zabalenia, obalu, dopravy a skladovania alebo ako dôsledok kontaminácie životné-ho prostredia. Cudzie predmety ako napr. časti hmyzu, živočíšna srsť, atď., nespadajú pod túto definíciu kontaminantov (3).V prípade niektorých chemických látok bolo dokáza-né, že expozícia z potravín tvorí viac ako 90 % celkovej humá...

“…Many anthropogenic processes such as fertilizer, spraying, irrigation, harvesting and storage might contribute to the metal accumulation in fruits [ 13 ]. During the cultivation of fruit trees, varieties of fertilizers such as organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer and biological fertilizer have been widely used to improve the fruit quality [ 14 , 15 ].…”

In the present study, winter jujube organs including fruit, fruiting leaf and foliage leaf, and associated soils in 14 typical orchards in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China were collected and determined for the mass fractions of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd. The mass fractions of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd in plant tissues generally showed an order of Cu > Zn > Ni > Co > Cd as well as those in the soils decreased as Zn > Cu > Ni > Co > Cd. The values of single factor index and Nemerow pollution index suggested the jujube fruits were not polluted by heavy metals. Values of estimated daily intake for all the elements were far below their associated acceptable reference values, indicating no health risks would be caused by a single trace element. The results of targeted hazard quotient (THQ) of the metals in the fruits decreased as Cu > Ni > Zn > Cd accompanying total THQ (TTHQ) lower than 1 showing no hazard would be caused by those metals. Correlation analysis showed soil might not be the main source of heavy metals in winter jujube organs. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for Co, Ni, Zn and Cd in fruits and leaves were far below 1 suggesting their low bioavailablities. The relatively great BAFs of Cu in the leaves might be due to the application of fertilizers and pesticides containing great amounts of Cu through soil and foliar spraying. To sum up, heavy metals tended not to be a major threat to winter jujube cultivation, and winter jujube had great edible safety.
