Toxic element profile of ice cream in Bangladesh: a health risk assessment study

Impacts of long-term irrigation with coalmine effluent contaminated water on trace metal contamination of topsoil and potato tubers in Dinajpur area, Bangladesh

“…Human HRI was assessed according to Khan et al [ 70 ] using the formula: [HRI = DIM/RfD; where, DIM is the daily intake of metals through consumption of contaminated potato and RfD is the reference oral dose for each metal according to USEPA [ 72 ] ( Table 2 S)]. Daily intake of metals (DIM) was determined by the following equation: [DIM = (CM × DI)/BW; where, CM, DI and BW represents trace metal concentrations in plants (mg kg −1 ), daily intake of potato tuber and average human body weight, respectively] [ 73 ]. The average daily potato intake was considered 64.8 g person −1 day −1 according to the report of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics [ 46 ] and the average human body weight were considered 52.5 kg according to the report of World Health Organization [ 74 ].…”

Assessing Health Risks Associated with Heavy Metals in Food: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…It should be mentioned that the average number of authors per paper can vary significantly depending on the scientific field or discipline [19]. The majority of risk assessment studies have been conducted on total diet [21][22][23][24], ready-to-eat products [25], fish and seafood products [26][27][28], fruits and vegetables [29][30][31][32], cereals and cereal products [33][34][35], dairy and dairy-derived products [36][37][38], as well as meat and meat products [39][40][41]. Also, studies have been conducted on risk assessment of heavy metals from eggs [42][43][44], cocoa and cocoa products [45,46], sesame [47], pistachio [48], peanut seeds [49], spices [50], salt [51], chewing gum, peppermints, and sweets [52], honey [53], water and drinks [54][55][56], food supplements [57], tea products [58] and infant formula [59].…”
