Abstract

Daily dietary cadmium intake by adults in Belgium has been re-evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, heating of the samples in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of the element. The mean intake value (23.1±6.6 μg/day) is similar to levels found for most other countries and far below the provisional tolerable daily intake of 1 μg/kg–1 of body weight per day, as set by the FAO/WHO.
