Fruit juices are amongst the most non-alcoholic beverages appreciated and consumed in European countries, including Portugal. These contain minerals, nutrients, trace elements, vitamins phytochemicals, which essential for a healthy life. However, fruit may also high levels of metals, posing health risk to humans, especially children, since they consume more juice per body weight unit, have less varied diet than adults. Thus, order guarantee food safety make sound nutritional considerations,...
Lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and arsenic (As) are among the major toxicants in mining environments. Miners commonly repeatedly exposed to this toxic mixture. Some adverse effects may appear at concentrations below environmental quality guidelines for individual mixture components. Further, Pb, Mn, As induce common outcomes, such as interferences cholinergic system heme synthesis. It is thus vital monitor miners through biomarkers (BM), that subclinical be identified an early stage. The main...
Our previous work demonstrated the presence of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) contamination in cow milk (CM) soy beverages (SBs) Portugal. These metals share carcinogenic mechanisms, suggesting at least additive effects. goals were to assess risks from Pb Cd intake detected various CM SB brands on Portuguese market determine relative contributions Cd. Furthermore, we modeled different consumption scenarios for age/body weight groups estimate cumulative Excess Lifetime Carcinogenic Risk (ELCR)....
The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure methylmercury (MeHg) potential populations at risk living in Portugal. To ascertain youth exposure, a questionnaire distributed 300 students middle secondary school Sesimbra and 429 studying Canecas, selected as control population. average number fish meals consumed by person 4.1 3 per week respectively. subpopulations high intake (PHI) corresponding those ingesting 7 or more were also analyzed separately, with 17% belonging PHI versus 6.1%...
