AB  - In 2017, a monitoring study was conducted in Catalonia (Spain) to analyse, in 
      widely consumed foodstuffs, the concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), 
      mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb), as well as those of inorganic As (InAs) and 
      methylmercury (MeHg). Health risks were estimated for various population groups, 
      classified according to age. A continued reduction of dietary exposure to these 
      elements was observed when comparing the results from the current and previous 
      studies performed during the last 17 years. This reduction would be associated to 
      a decrease of As, Cd, Hg and Pb concentrations in food, as well as by changes in 
      dietary habits. None of the adult groups exceeded the safety threshold 
      established by the EFSA, but toddlers, infants and children exceeded the PTWI for 
      Cd and MeHg. The greatest intake of Cd and MeHg corresponded to infants, being 
      due to the consumption of cuttlefish and hake. The consumption of these species 
      should be reduced to two or three weekly portions, being combined with the intake 
      of other non-predator species. Anyhow, the current results indicate that is 
      necessary to conduct further periodical surveys, paying special attention to the 
      trend in the intake of Cd and MeHg.
