Abstract

Hygienic assessment of chemicals’ level in food products and health risk assessment of the population in Arkhangelsk region were carried out. Levels of heavy metal contamination of certain food groups do not exceed allowable hygienic standards. Non-cancer risk was high for a hormonal system (HI = 3,9), nervous (HI = 3,4) and immune (HI = 3,2) systems, skin (HI = 3,2). The priority pollutants of food products were arsenic and lead. Total cancer risk was high (CR = 1,4 × 10-3) and could be associated with fish contamination by inorganic arsenic (44,0 %).
