“…The Finnish maximum EDI of 11 μg in food is equivalent to 15% of PTDI (Tahvonen 1995), and the French EDI of 17 µg (Leblanc et al 2000) corresponds to 24% of PTDI (70 µg, WHO). Similarly, a high EDI of 40 µg (Skibniewska 2003) corresponds to 57% of PTDI. If we injest Cd from linseed in addition to this basal EDI (11-40 µg), the possible additional daily intake of Cd would be 30-60 µg.…”

The aim of this study was to screen the cadmium (Cd) contents of seed and seed crush of Finnish linseed and to evaluate the acceptable daily dose. The Cd content of Finnish linseed is of interest, since some properties of linseed as the content of fatty acids are different in northern growth locations compared with other growing areas. Seed samples (N = 85) were collected from the experimental farm of Helsinki University and from commercial fields in different locations in southern Finland and Ostrobothnia. In addition, 15 samples of linseed crush were examined. The cadmium contents of the linseed samples, determined with atomic absorption spectroscopy, varied between 0.27 and 1.3 mg kg-1 (dry weight) (mean 0.61 mg kg-1). The Cd contents of the crush samples were between 0.47 and 1.5 mg kg-1 (mean 0.85 mg kg-1). There were differences between the Cd contents of the three examined varieties and years at the experimental farm. Increase in nitrogen fertilization somewhat increased the Cd uptake of linseed. The permitted intake of linseed depends on body weight and on the Cd content of the product and is in most cases higher than the dietary recommendation (2430 g daily dose of linseed).;

“…In a study by Leblanc et al (2000), the average French EDI for Cd was 17 µg per person. An average dietary intake of Cd in some polluted Polish towns was 40 µg per person (Skibniewska 2003), which was considered alarming.…”

“…Dietary intakes of Pb differ between countries and regions. In the Indian city of Kanpur average daily lead intake through diet is about 114 μg per day for adults and 50 μg day -1 in children (4), in the Zhejiang province in China 0.55 μg kg -1 (body weight) per day (about 27.5-38.5 μg day -1 per person) (5), in Croatia 15-100 μg per day per person (6), and in Poland 39.5-89.9 μg day -1 per person (7).…”

“…Pb accumulated in industrial dust has continued to affect the environment. Environmental as well as occupational exposure to Pb still is a major public health problem (7). Chronic exposure to metals is associated with many diseases such as liver disorders, cancer, neurological diseases, and osteoporosis (3,8).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of chronic combined exposure to low, environmental doses of Cd, Pb, and Mn on oxidative stress in the liver and heart of rats and on their liver function parameters. Male Wistar rats were divided randomly into eight groups. For nine months controls were receiving drinking water alone, whereas the exposed groups were receiving drinking water with Pb (0.2 mg L -1 ), Cd (1 mg L -1 ), and Mn (2 mg L -1 ) alone or in combinations. Malondialdehyde (MDA) significantly increased in both heart and liver of the animals after combined exposure to metals. Heart MDA correlated with blood Cd, Pb, and Mn and liver MDA with blood Cd. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity and bilirubin concentration also increased significantly in the animal group exposed to all three metals and correlated positively with blood Cd, Pb, and Mn. Our study has confirmed the synergistic effect of the Cd, Mn, and Pb combination on the increase in heart MDA. A similar synergy was observed for Pb+Mn in the increase of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity as an indicator of liver function.

“…In spite of more and more rigorous norms concerning their presence in food, and despite the introduction of quality assurance systems, it is impossible to get rid of them from food. Their presence in food is a result not only of the contamination of raw materials, but they can also originate from machines and industrial plants, food additives, and materials used in cleaning and disinfection procedures (Skibniewska 2003).…”

Lead and cadmium levels were determined in the meat tissues of roach, bream, and carp netted in a lake and in fish ponds threatened by a pesticide tomb and in control basins in northeastern Poland. Concentrations in roach ranged from 20 to 124 μg kg -1 of Pb and from 1 to 19 μg kg -1 of Cd. In bream they were from 4 to 280 μg kg -1 of Pb and 2 to 28 μg kg -1 of Cd, while in carp they were from 9 to 82 μg kg -1 of Pb and 2 to 260 μg kg -1 of Cd. The metal concentrations were low; no result exceeded admissible residue levels set forth by Polish law, and no evident contamination of fish by leakage from the pesticide tomb was detected.a Corresponding
