Department of Industrial Chemistry SangMyung UniversityAbstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been studied during the past few decades because of their potentialimpacts on the environment and human health. PCBs are toxic environmental pollutants and persistent organic pollutants(POPs). This study was carried out to assess the dietary exposure and risk to PCBs for the general Korean populationthrough food intake. Various samples (n=389) covering 28 kinds of food were collected from 5 cities in Korea. The PCBcontent was not detected-182.4 µg/kg (mean of 5.4 µg/kg) in the food. The mean dietary exposure of PCBs for the generalpopulation was 9.54 ng/kg bw/day with an intake of 0.19% of tolerable daily intake (TDI) (5 µg/kg bw/day). Therefore,the level of overall dietary exposure to PCBs for the Korean population through food intake is below the recommendedTDI levels.Keywords: PCBs, food, risk assessment |
