title: [Monitoring of lead content in foodstuff in China].
abstract: Lead contents in six kinds of foodstuff in China were monitored in 1992. Six hundred and three specimens of food were collected from the markets in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Guangdong. Results showed that 96.2% of cereals, 84.4% vegetables, 97.6% dairy products, 96.0% eggs and, 100% meat and fish met the national food hygienic standards for lead allowable content. Daily dietary intake of lead of residents in six areas of China was lower than the provisional standard for Daily Allowable Intake of lead set by World Health Organization.
