| Abstract | ||||
| These studies were estimated the Dietary Exposure of the Egyptian people to pesticide residues (325 pesticides), PCB's (14 congeners), heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Cd, pb , Cr and Zn), nitrates and aflatoxines (B1,B2,G1 and G2) contamination in food. The Dietary Intakes were based on the total Diet Studies approach have been studied in the year 2008 depending on Egyptian National Food Consumption Data issued by Ministry of Agriculture. The items and composites were selected according to their popularity and high consumption representing all groups of food and origin. The pattern of residues showed that no organochlorine pesticide residues or PCB's were detected in samples, Only Azoxystrubin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorafenpyr,l-Cyhalothrin and Profenofos were detected in low concentrations and not exceeding their ADIs. All the detected heavy metal element concentrations were below their acceptable values. The mean concentration of total aflatoxin was below their ADIs . All the samples were contaminated with nitrates within the acceptable limits. Generally all detected samples were within the international limits and no exceeding were found. | ||||
