Pesticide, heavy metal, and other chemical residues in infant and toddler total diet samples--(II)--August 1975-July 1976.
The Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, initiated the Total Diet Study in 1964 to monitor residues of pesticides and other chemicals ingested in the average diet of the United States' heartiest eater, the young adult male. In August 1974, one-third of the adult market baskets were replaced with infant and toddler market baskets. Averages and ranges of residues for this second in a series of infant and toddler baskets, for August 1975--July 1976, are reported. Included are results of determinations for zinc, cadmium, lead, selenium, arsenic, and mercury. Results of recovery studies conducted with compounds of each residue type are also presented.
