Abstract
Daily dietary intakes of 6 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [i. e. anthracene (An), pyrene (Py), benzo [b] fluoranthene (B [b] F), benzo [k] fluoranthene (B [k] F), benzo [a] pyrene (B [a] P), benzo [g. h. i] perylene (B [g, h, i] P) were investigated through duplicate portion study. Samples were collected from daily diets of 6 women (from 25 to 56 years old) for one week in July, 1985. The daily intake of Py, which was most abundant in these PHAs, was found to be 0.15-7.3 μg/d in range and 0.98 μg/d in avarage. And those of B [a] P and B [b] F, which are typical carcinogens, were 0.02-1.6 μg/d (avarage : 0.084 μg/d) and nd-1.3 μg/d (avarage : 0.234 μg/d), respectively. Total daily intakes of PAHs were calculated to be 0.36-13.67 μg/d (avarage : 1.663 μg/d). And it was found that there was about 38 times difference among daily dietary intakes of PAHs.
