AB  - Dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) covered by the Stockholm Convention on POPs. To assess the 
      associated health risk of the Hong Kong population, the dietary exposure of the 
      Hong Kong population and various age-gender subgroups to dioxins and dioxin-like 
      PCBs was estimated in the first Hong Kong Total Diet Study (TDS), where food 
      samples were collected and prepared "as consumed". A total of 142 composite food 
      samples, mainly foods of animal origin and their products and oily food, were 
      analysed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) 
      and dioxin-like PCBs by the high-resolution gas chromatograph/high-resolution 
      mass spectrometer (HRGC/HRMS) system. Dietary exposures were estimated by 
      combining the analytical results with the food consumption data of Hong Kong 
      adults. The mean and 95th percentile exposures to dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs of 
      the Hong Kong population were 21.9 and 59.7 pg toxic equivalent (TEQ) kg(-)(1) body 
      weight (bw) month(-)(1) respectively, which amounted to 31.3% and 85.2% of the 
      provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTMI). The main dietary source of dioxins 
      and dioxin-like PCBs was "Fish and seafood and their products" (61.9% of the 
      total exposure), followed by "Meat, poultry and game and their products" (20.0%) 
      and "Mixed dishes" (6.95%). The study findings suggest that the Hong Kong 
      population is unlikely to experience the major undesirable health effects of 
      dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs.
