THE RISK OF IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION OF PRIMORYE TERRITORY CONTAMINANT CHEMICAL IN FOOD

Abstract

The evaluation of laboratory studies of food in Primorsky Krai on the content of chemical contaminant according to the program of social-hygienic monitoring with the purpose of the calculation of risk likely their impact on the health of the population of Primorye territory. We used the methodology for exposure and risk assessment of exposure to chemical contaminants of food foods on a population. Estimates of the loads of contaminants (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) contained in the major foods consumed by the population of Primorsky territory for the years 2013-2014. We determined the level of risk of exposure to toxic substances (cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury) coming from food. Found that arsenic, lead, cadmium are priority pollutants of food products consumed by the population of Primorsky Krai. It is revealed that the high values of hazard ratio is not carcinogenic risk associated with dietary exposure of arsenic noted in fish products and beverages, as the adult and child population. It is shown that at the exposure level of arsenic in food the expected probable number of cases of malignancies for the coming life will be 89.5 cases per 10.000 adults and 27.5 per 10.000 children.
