TI  - Dioxin and dl-PCB exposure from food: the German LExUKon project.

AB  - Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan (PCDD/F) and dioxin-like 
      polychlorinated biphenyl (dl-PCB) exposure from food were estimated using new 
      food consumption data from the recent German food consumption survey (Nationale 
      Verzehrsstudie II - NVS II). Based on these comprehensive data, information on 
      the consumption of 545 individual food items by the German population was 
      derived. Concentrations of dioxin-like compounds in food were compiled from the 
      German Food Monitoring Programme (GFMP), the German Dioxin Database, other German 
      authority programmes, European countries' authority programmes and the published 
      literature covering the years 2000-2010. By multiplication with consumption data, 
      estimates of intake from food were determined. The main food groups contributing 
      most to the intake of the general public are dairy products (including milk), 
      meat and fish (including seafood), followed - due to high consumption - by the 
      main group vegetables. The combined intake of PCDD/F and dl-PCB (as toxic 
      equivalents - TEQ) from food was estimated to be 2.11/1.53 pg kg(-1) bw and day 
      and 3.56/2.85 pg kg(-1) bw and day (upper/lower bound) for average and high-end 
      consumers, respectively. The estimated intake of average consumers is close to a 
      reference value derived by the Scientific Committee on Food in 2001. 
      Uncertainties in these estimates pertain to the influence of values below the 
      limit of quantification (upper/lower bound ratio) and some foods not considered 
      due to the lack of contamination data.
