TI  - Dietary intake estimations of organohalogen contaminants (dioxins, PCB, PBDE and 
      chlorinated pesticides, e.g. DDT) based on Swedish market basket data.
PG  - 1597-606
AB  - By use of a Swedish Market basket study from 1999, in which foods were sampled 
      from four regions, the dietary intake of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was 
      assessed. Based on earlier data, six food groups (fish, meat, dairy products, 
      egg, fats/oils, and pastries; comprising 52 food items) were selected for POP 
      analyses. Homogenates from these six groups were subjected to POP analyses and 
      levels presented on dioxins (PCDD/PCDFs), dioxin-like PCBs, PCB-153, summation 
      operatorPCBs, BDE-47, summation operatorPBDEs, DDE, summation operatorDDTs, HCB, 
      summation operatorHCHs, and summation operatorchlordanes, after adjusting 
      non-quantified levels to 1/2 LOQ. For all compounds, the fish homogenate 
      contained the comparatively highest levels, on a fresh weight basis. Intake 
      calculations based on the six food groups showed that summation operatorPCBs and 
      summation operatorDDTs gave per capita intakes of 615 and 523 ng/day, 
      respectively, that the estimated summation operatorPBDE intake was 51 ng/day and 
      that of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs was 96 pg WHO-TEQ/day. The estimated mean 
      intakes were below (total-TEQ: 1.3 pg/kgbw/day) or well below (summation 
      operatorDDTs: 8.9 ng/kgbw/day) internationally agreed intake limits (total-TEQ: 2 
      pg/kgbw/day; summation operatorDDTs: 10,000 ng/kgbw/day). A number of uncertainty 
      factors, including analytical limitations due to low POP levels in food, give 
      reason for caution in the use of the presented intake data. However, the intake 
      estimations of dioxins, summation operatorPCBs and summation operatorPBDEs are 
      well in accordance to calculations of POP intakes in Sweden made by alternate 
      methods.
