Introduction: Food is one of the main factors of survival on this
planet. However, in some cases, food may pose a high health risk, if it
contains dangerous contaminants from the environment.
Objectives: of this study was to determine exposure to toxic metals (lead and cadmium) in different population groups through food
in South East Serbia.
Method / Design: Sampling of food were carried out on the
territory of South East Serbia (960 samples)) during last ten years
(2005-2014.). Chemical analysis for the presence of lead and cadmium
were performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry on a Perkin
Elmer AAnalyst 600 in an accredited laboratory of the Institute of
Public Health Niš (ISO / IEC 17025: 2006). Examination of the meal
was done by technique of double rations and composite technology.
Results: A small number of food samples (0.92%) due to faulty
toxic metals, but in most of the samples metals were present in measurable concentrations. Dietary intake of Pb and Cd ...in children aged
1-9 years, who eat in kindergarten, does not exceed tolerable daily
intake (0.056 mgPb/day and 0.005 mg Cd /day). Dietary intake of Pb
in adult professional non-exposed people is 0.198 mg/day, which is
below the tolerable daily intake. In fact, the largest share of the total
Pb input have cereals and cereal products (28.2%), followed by vegetables (22.8%), fruits (15.7%) and milk products (13.9%), while other
types of foods much less participate the total input. Imported food
products have slightly higher content of Pb and Cd in relation to food
of domestic origin.
Conclusions: Exposure to toxic metals in food is not high among
professional unexposed populations in South East Serbia. However,
nutritional intake is just one of the possible entry of these toxic
substances. Other forms of exposure (air, water, general use) can also
significantly contribute to the overall intake of these hazardous contaminants. Therefore, a permanent monitoring in order to timely and
properly taken measures to protect the health of exposed populations
in South East Serbia these contaminants.
