title: Dietary intake of polychlorinated dioxins, furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls from foods of animal origin in China.
abstract: Four food groups of animal origin from the Chinese Total Diet Study (TDS) in 2000 were analysed for 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and 12 dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The samples were from four regions, covering 12 provinces of China. PCDD/Fs, expressed as WHO toxic equivalents (TEQ), ranged from 0.02 to 0.28 pg TEQ g-1 and dioxin-like PCBs ranged from 0.01 to 0.24 pg TEQ g-1 (wet weight, ND = LOD), in all samples. Using food consumption data from a 3-day household dietary survey, daily dietary intake of dioxin-like compounds from foods of animal origin in China was estimated. Daily intake among regions ranged 0.09-0.59 pg TEQ kg-1 body eight day-1.
