Daily dietary copper intake in Belgium, using duplicate portion sampling.
Daily dietary copper intake in Belgium has been evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, heating in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of this element. The mean intake value (1.5 +/- 0.4 mg/day) is similar to levels found for most other countries, but is situated at the lower end of the recommended range for a safe and adequate daily dietary intake.
