| Popis: | The aim of this work was to assess mercury content in food products and intake in the human body in Russia. Sampling was carried out on the territory of Russia without reference to the manufacturer in accordance with the principle of random sampling. The analysis of mercury concentrations in a wide range of food and agricultural products was carried out by atomic absorption with "cold vapor". On the basis of this analysis we identified foods with the highest and lowest concentrations of mercury. According to the literature data a number of food products consumable by people with different income levels and at an average for the regions of Russia has been estimated. Daily intake of mercury in the human body according to this regiment has been calculated. A comparison of the actual mercury intake in the human body with safety daily dose has been made according to the FAO and WHO. Mercury dose intaking in the human body with fish and fish products has been also calculated. It is shown that the mercury intake in the human body with food products ranges within acceptance limits in Russia. However, there is a low-dose mercury intake typical for the entire population of Russia. |
