Dietary Monitoring Studies on Lead and Cadmium Exposures in Poland

1991

Karlowski, K. | Wojciechowska-Mazurek, M.

The dietary intake of metals, especially lead and cadmium, in some regions of Poland exceeds Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (PTWI) allowances established by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). This is mostly due to increased environmental pollution. The results of dietary monitoring studies to determine the heavy metals content in daily diets and in selected food products are described.
