Abstract

The dietary exposure of Finnish 3-year-old and 6-year-old children to cadmium, lead, arsenic and mercury was determined using concentration data from Finland and individual food consumption data as well as individual weights of the children. Using middle bound estimates, 88% of the 3-year-olds and 64% of the 6-year-olds exceeded the tolerable weekly intake of cadmium. The benchmark dose for neurological damage caused by lead was exceeded by 14% and 1%, while the lowest benchmark dose of inorganic arsenic was exceeded by 43% and 29% for the 3-year-olds and 6-year-olds, respectively. The exposure of both age groups was below the tolerable weekly intake for inorganic mercury and methyl mercury. Although high, the exposures calculated with predominantly national concentration data were lower than previously estimated by EFSA, due to, for example, lower average concentrations in some much-consumed foods. The heavy metal exposure levels of the girls and the boys were also compared. Exposure to cadmium and lead was significantly higher for the boys than for the girls in both age groups, and exposure to inorganic arsenic was significantly higher for the 6-year-old boys than the girls of same age.

Abstract

This is a short document for the general reader on the dietary exposure of Finnish children and adults to cadmium. The results summarized in this document have been presented in more detail in two national risk assessments: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.851785 and http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3772613 &nbsp

Abstract

The risk assessment studied the exposure of working-age and elderly Finns to cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, nickel and aluminium via food and drinking water. Adults have lower exposure than children (earlier assessment: Evira’s Research Reports 2/2015), but the tolerable intake threshold was still exceeded by a part of the population. The magnitude of lead and inorganic arsenic intake was such that health hazards could not be ruled out, but their probability is low or at most moderate. One in five women over the age of 45 have an elevated risk of osteoporotic fracture due to cadmium exposure, even though the cadmium content of fertilisers is subject to national restrictions designed to reduce exposure. The greatest dietary exposure to heavy metals was faced by women of fertile age, that is 25–45 years. The mercury exposure of this group was low, however. In addition to the magnitude and sources of exposure, the risk assessment studied the impact of identified changes in eating habits on the exposure of consumers. Exposure was assessed on the basis of the Findiet 2007 and 2012 studies. A rough estimate was also made of the impact of the EAT-Lancet Commission’s recommended diet on the exposure of consumers. The report contains an extended summary in English., FI; PDF; johanna.suomi@ruokavirasto.fi
