Combining data of mercury levels in food with the consumption data of 2158 people (as the median of two 24-h recall), the total mercury intake of the Catalonian population was calculated. Mercury was detected in 32.8% of analysed samples. The general population average weekly intake of total mercury in the Catalonian population was 0.783 μg kg-1 of body weight. This value is clearly lower than the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWI) of 5 μg kg-1 of body weight. The fish group was the main contributor to this value, mainly due to predatory species. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/44732 | ISSN: | 1944-0049 | DOI: | 10.1080/02652030903150559 | Fuente: | Food Additives and Contaminants - Part A Chemistry, Analysis, Control, Exposure and Risk Assessment [ISSN 1944-0049],v. 27, p. 29-35 |
