The dietary exposure to selected PFAAs was estimated in four European states (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy and Norway) representing Western, Southern, Eastern Northern Europe. harmonised sampling programme designed Union project PERFOOD targeted at identifying seven PFAAs, including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) perfluorooctanoic (PFOA), food items that are most important both terms of consumption based on known high contamination patterns. average for adults (18-64 years)...
Human exposure to per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) is a major public health concern because in the last decades several cases of overexposure people PFASs, particular through contaminated water, occurred worldwide. In 2013-2017 PFAS drinking water contamination was discovered investigated northern Italy (Veneto region) high serum levels were detected exposed people. 629 subjects enrolled: 257 residing municipalities areas under impact, 250 at presumed background 122 farmers...
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, present in the environment human body. They have raised global concern because of their diffusion environment, particularly water, causing cases overexposure due to consumption contaminated drinking water. Human biomonitoring is most effective way characterize exposure PFASs, it important that as many labs possible could easily perform this kind analysis. Analytical methods for quantitation PFAS...
Diet is a relevant source of exposure to environmental pollutants. Dietary intake polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-like biphenyls (DL-PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) by the Italian population was assessed through duplicate diet study on prepared meals. Baby food composite representative toddlers aged 9-12 months school canteen servings from four towns in Italy representing children 4-9 years were collected 5-day basis. Similarly,...
Ready-to-eat servings may be more contaminated with perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) than the corresponding unprocessed foods due to presence of PFAAs in and transfer from food contact materials (FCM) cookware. Therefore, selected meals served weekly at lunch time six Italian school canteens was assessed. Five towns were representing different areas local water supply. Daily menus sampled pooled form a composite. Analyses carried out on composite each canteen. UPLC-MS/MS quantification...
European eel and chub samples were analyzed to determine the levels of non-dioxin-like polychlorobiphenyls (NDL-PCBs), polychlorodibenzodioxins (PCDDs) polychlorodibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs), brominated polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in order evaluate extent contamination river Tiber along urban tract through city Rome (Italy). All presented detectable chemicals analyzed, exhibited species-specific differences terms congener composition total concentrations. On average...
