TI  - Dietary intake of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by German children using 
      duplicate portion sampling.
PG  - 359-62
AB  - The dietary intake of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was studied in 14 
      German children at the age of 1.5 to 5.3 years from the North Sea island Amrum. A 
      total of 98 duplicate samples were collected between April and May 1995. The 
      sampling period for each participant was 7 days. Concentrations of POPs were 
      measured by capillary gas chromatography and electron capture detection. The 
      median daily intake [ng/(kgbw.day)] for the different compounds were as follows: 
      1.9 for alpha-HCH, 1.2 for beta-HCH, 9.5 for gamma-HCH, 4.6 for HCB, 3.4 for DDT, 
      11.2 for DDE, 1.1 for PCB 101, 5.1 for, PCB 138, 5.2 for PCB 153 and 2.2 for PCB 
      180. Compared to acceptable or tolerable daily intake (ADI/TDI) proposed by WHO 
      and other organizations the dietary intake of POPs was low. The median values of 
      the ADI/TDI for the POPs was less than 2.2%. The highest percentage of tolerable 
      intake was found for the sum of PCB and amounted to 20.4%. However, compared with 
      minimal risk levels (ATSDR), the percentage of dietary intake was much higher, 
      especially for gamma-HCH (based on median intake: 95%), for HCB (23.1%) and for 
      PCB (69%).
