Actual daily dietary intake of selenium in Belgium, using duplicate portion sampling.
The dietary selenium (Se) intake in Belgium has been re-evaluated. Duplicate meal collection, wet acid destruction and flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry were used as techniques. The daily intake ranged from 28.4 micrograms (Liège, Walloon part of the country) to 61.1 micrograms (Vilvoorde, central part of the country). Compared with intakes recently published for other countries, the actual Belgian value corresponds to intermediate ranges of Se intake.
