“…100 lg [37,38], it seems that the intake of this element in the subpopulation examined ranging from 49.7 lg/day to 89.5 lg/ day should not pose any risks for health due to its deficiencies. The obtained results and the data from other countries are comparable [39]; our results are lower than those in Germany, Finland, Japan and USA [3, 13,16,33,40] but higher than those in Slovenia [41], Belgium [42] and Finland [43], however, they exceed some American, Finnish, Swedish and Japanese data [13,19,38,44] (Table 4).…”

“…Moreover, they are maintained at similar levels throughout recent years and depend mainly on the total mass of meals and their composition. Compared to the data from other countries they are higher than the amounts found in Germany [11], Austria [39], and Sweden [19], much lower than those in Spain [45] and similar to or lower than those in Japan [40,44]. Since the suggested level of nickel intake dangerous for health is 600 lg/ day or even 1 mg/day [17], the diets studied do not seem to pose any risks.…”

Chromium, nickel, and selenium have been known to be essential for proper functioning of human organisms. Since the Polish data concerning their content in diets are scarce, the study was undertaken to examine the levels of these elements in daily food rations (DFRs) in adults from the Lublin region in 1990, 1993, 1997, 1998, and 2002. The aim was to compare the results obtained by the calculation technique based on the national database with those of the DFR chemical analysis. Moreover, the study was to determine quantitative shares of the individual food groups in the daily pool of the elements examined. Determinations of chromium and nickel were carried out using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Selenium was evaluated by spectrophotometry and fluorometry. The daily intake of chromium, nickel, and selenium was found to be 60 microg-90 microg, 124 microg-166 microg, and 54 microg-99 microg, respectively.

“…The higher values of As detected in Eddoe and Taro may be due to the use of contaminated water from hand or shallow tubewells for its cultivation in the home garden. The average intake of total As from vegetable samples was estimated to be 105 μg d −1 which is higher than the dietary intake values in Belgium: 12 μg d −1 (Buchet et al 1983), Netherlands: 15 μg d −1 (De Vos et al 1984), Canada: 59.2 μg d −1 (Dabeka et al 1993), Sweden: 60 15 μg d −1 (Jorhem et al 1998) and in United Kingdom: 56-67 15 μg d −1 (MAFF 1998); but lower than that in Denmark: 118 15 μg d −1 (NFAD 1990), Japan: 160-280 15 μg d −1 (Tsuda et al 1995) and Basque in Spain: 291 15 μg d −1 (Urieta et al 1990) The mean concentrations of Zn containing in vegetables for five upazillas are: Dagon Bhuyia (156.33 ppm), Feni Sadar (133.67 ppm), Sonagazi (127.0 ppm), Parsuram (83.67 ppm) and Pulgazi (63.33 ppm). The highest level of Zn among all vegetable samples was in Taro (304 ppm) at Dagon Bhuyia and lowest in plantain (7 ppm) at Pulgazi.…”

An investigation of various heavy metals including the arsenic (As) poisoning in soils and vegetables in five upazillas under Feni district of Bangladesh was performed by neutron activation technique using the neutron irradiation facilities of TRIGA MARK II research reactor at Bangladesh Atomic Energy Research Establishment (BAERE), Savar, Dhaka. A total of 30 samples (15 surface soils and 15 foodstuffs) were studied in five Upazillas namely as, Sonagazi, Dagan Bhuiya, Feni Sadar, Fulgazi and Parsuram of Feni district taking three samples of each kind from each upazilla. Samples of each kind together with the standard reference material (SRM) were irradiated in the same neutron flux and the gamma-rays of nuclides from the irradiated samples were assessed and screened for As, Br, U, Th, Cr, Sc, Fe, Zn and Co in soils and As, Br, Na, K, Cr, Sc, Fe, Zn and Co in vegetables (i.e; eddoe, taro, green papaya, plantain, potato, callaloo, bottle ground and carambola). The measurement of gamma-rays was carried out by means of a calibrated high resolution HPGe detector. The concentration of product nuclides containing in the irradiated samples was determined from the peak count-rates of prominent gamma-lines for the corresponding nuclides. Among all contaminants, only As, Zn and Cr for both samples were focused because of their higher values compared with the local as well as the world typical values. The present results revealed that the mean levels of As in Parsuram, Feni Sadar and Pulgazi upazillas are higher than the world typical value of 2 mg/kg. The mean values of Zn and Cr for all upazillas are higher than the world typical values 32 and 27.9 mg/kg, respectively. For the case of vegetables, the mean concentration of As is found only in Eddoe (5.33 ppm) and Taro (1.46 ppm) collected from Sonagazi and Feni Sadar upazilla; which are higher than the values in Samta (0.1 ppm for eddoe and 0.44 ppm for taro) under Jessore district of Bangladesh. The mean concentrations of Zn and Cr in all kinds of vegetables are higher compared with the existing local values as well as the world typical values. The mean estimated daily dietary intake of As, Zn and Cr from vegetables are found to be 0.105, 12.47 and 3.53 mg respectively, which are higher than the recommended values of some countries. The consumption of toxic metals in vegetables is a risk for public health in the studied area.

“…Generally, foods have been mixed into one total sample or divided into food groups. The same design as in the Chernobyl studies has been used in studies on the dietary content of mineral elements (Becker and Kumpulainen, 1991 From Jorhem et al (1998). organic contaminants. In this study, the foods have been divided into food groups.…”
