국내 다소비 농산물의 알루미늄 농도 모니터링 및 농산물 섭취로 인한 위해도 평가 = Risk Assessment Aluminum Levels of Circulating Agricultural Products in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to collect occurrence data on aluminum in 12 type agricultural products and assess dietary exposure risk to the Korean population health for aluminum concentration in agricultural products.METHODS AND RESULTS: Aluminum analysis samples were performed using microwave device and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer. The LOD(Limit of Detection) for aluminum was 0.851 ug/kg,while the LOQ(Limit of Quantitation) was 2.838 ug/kg and recovery was 97.6% for aluminum. The average levels of aluminum in mg/kg were 0.526 for rice, 0.546 for Korean cabbage, 1.316 for corn, 6.207 for soybean, 0.549 for sweet potato, 0.257 for potato, 6.963 for spinach, 1.213 for carrot,0.524 for garlic, 0.950 for radish, 1.015 for leek, and 3.511 for Welsh onion. The dietary exposures of aluminum through usual intake were polished rice 89.31 ug/day,Korean cabbage 33.14 ug/day, corn 0.66 ug/day, soybean 3.72 ug/day, sweet potato 6.86 ug/day, potato 4.96 ug/day,spinach 45.96 ug/day, carrot 6.79 ug/day, garlic 2.36 ug/day, radish 7.32 ug/day, leek 2.23 ug/day and Welsh onion 43.89 ug/day, taking 0.57%, 0.21%, 0.00%, 0.02%,0.04%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.04%, 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.01% and 0.28% of PTWI(2 mg/kg b.w./week), respectively.CONCLUSION: The levels of overall dietary exposure to aluminum for Korean population through intake of agricultural product was far below the recommended JECFA level, indicating of least possibility of risk.
