The occurrence of persistent organic pollutants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in food represents a public health concern. The BfR MEAL Study was initiated to generate a comprehensive data base of occurrence data for chemicals in the most consumed foods in Germany. Non-dioxin-like PCBs (NDL-PCBs) and PBDEs were analysed in 300 foods, purchased and prepared representatively for the eating behaviour of the population in Germany. Highest levels of NDL-PCBs and PBDEs were detected in spiny dogfish, cod liver, herring, and eel. High NDL-PCB and PBDE levels were observed in other oily fish, wild boar meat, sheep liver, and high-fat dairy products. The comparison of food from conventional and organic production revealed higher NDL-PCB values in the food group 'meat and meat products' if produced organically. Occurrence data of this study will improve future dietary exposure and risk assessments in Germany.
食品中多氯联苯(PCBs)和多溴二苯醚(PBDEs)等持久性有机污染物的存在引发了公众对健康的担忧。德国联邦风险评估研究所(BfR)开展了膳食暴露评估与摄入量研究(MEAL Study),以建立德国消费最多的食品中化学物质存在情况的综合数据库。对300种食品中的非二噁英类多氯联苯(NDL-PCBs)和多溴二苯醚进行了分析,这些食品的采购和制备方式能代表德国民众的饮食行为。在白斑角鲨、鳕鱼肝、鲱鱼和鳗鱼中检测到最高水平的NDL-PCBs和多溴二苯醚。在其他油性鱼类、野猪肉、羊肝和高脂肪乳制品中也观察到较高的NDL-PCB和多溴二苯醚水平。对传统生产和有机生产的食品进行比较发现,“肉类和肉制品”食品组中有机生产的食品NDL-PCB值更高。本研究的存在情况数据将改善德国未来的膳食暴露和风险评估。
