Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the content of 17 elements (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, and Zn) in samples of sheep milk, cheese, and whey (36 samples in total) collected from a farm in an environmentally burdened area due to the long-term mining and industrial activity in Slovakia as well as to determine the possible risk of consumption via health risk assessment calculations. Consumption of 120 g of milk, 500 g of milk, 20 g of cheese, and 100 g of cheese were used in calculations for children and adults, respectively. According to the results, concentrations of four elements are controversial. Lead concentrations in all types of samples exceeded the maximum permissible lead limit in milk set by European Union legislation. The content of Se and As is problematic for children\'s consumption, and the target hazard quotient for As and Al is higher than one (considered potentially not safe) in all scenarios. According to the target system approach, lead concentrations in milk and cheese could adversely influence the nervous system and kidneys of adults\' and children\'s developmental and reproductive systems. Considering the worst-case scenario, consuming sheep milk and cheese from the monitored areas could represent a risk and be potentially harmful to human health, mainly for children. However, further monitoring of the levels of elements and concentrations in environmentally burdened areas and more robust data on consumption are needed.
摘要:
该研究旨在确定17种元素(Al,As,Ba,Cd,Co,Cr,Cu,Fe,Li,Mn,Mo,Ni,Pb,Sb,Se,Sr,和锌)在羊奶样品中,奶酪,由于斯洛伐克的长期采矿和工业活动,从环境负担沉重的地区的一个农场收集乳清(总共36个样品),并通过健康风险评估计算确定可能的消费风险。食用120克牛奶,500克牛奶,20克奶酪,100克奶酪用于儿童和成人的计算,分别。根据结果,四种元素的浓度是有争议的。所有类型样品中的铅浓度均超过欧盟立法规定的牛奶中允许的最大铅限值。硒和砷的含量对儿童的消费是有问题的,在所有情况下,As和Al的目标危险商都高于1(被认为可能不安全)。根据目标系统方法,牛奶和奶酪中的铅浓度会对成人和儿童的神经系统和肾脏的发育和生殖系统产生不利影响。考虑到最坏的情况,食用受监测地区的羊奶和奶酪可能会带来风险,并可能对人体健康有害,主要是儿童。然而,需要进一步监测环境负担地区的元素水平和浓度,以及更可靠的消费数据。
