o:1490 Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia en Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal, present in all matrices of the environment and a common food contaminant. Human exposure to it may elicit many diverse health impairments. The aim of this study was to assess the dietary exposure to Cd for the adult population and preschool children in Serbia using probabilistic methodology. We measured Cd in 11,227 food samples belonging to 50 food items on the Serbian market. Cd was detected in 90% of the tested food items, and in 30.8% of the overall tested samples. The food item that contributed the most to total dietary Cd intake was potatoes (median Cd concentration of 7 ng/g) in adults, and fruit and vegetable juices in children (median Cd concentration of 19 ng/g). Weekly Cd intake shown as 50th and 95th percentiles were 2.54 and 4.74 µg/kg bw in the adult population, and 3.29 and 4.93 µg/kg bw in children. The results of this study are rather preliminary and should be considered as an indication of the need for further, more refined research, which would contribute to a more realistic risk assessment as a high-priority approach, especially in the case of vulnerable subpopulations such as children. risk assessment probabilistic approach, Monte Carlo method 1552099 10.1080/19440049.2022.2141467 2023-03-31T10:04:21.712Z 44 yes 46 Saša Janković Institute of meat Hygiene and technology Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia 0000-0002-5223-6993 Milena Stošić Department of Environmental Engineering and Occupational Safety and Health, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0001-9750-2231 Evica Antonijević Miljaković Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0003-3430-9615 Marijana Ćurčić Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0002-1767-4154 Danijela Đukić-Ćosić Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0003-1618-9154 Aleksandra Buha Đorđević Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0002-6942-7040 Zorica Bulat Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 0000-0001-9830-8772 Biljana Antonijević Department of Toxicology ‘Akademik Danilo Soldatović’, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade Cadmium dietary exposure assessment in the adult population and pre-school children in the Republic of Serbia person 2022 application/pdf 1634256 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:1490 no yes 1 70 1552253 71A01 Originalni naučni rad Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A 67-80 40 1 Taylor and Francis online Taylor and Francis online 2022
