Resumen
THIS STUDY ESTIMATES THE INTAKE OF ARSENIC, LEAD AND CADMIUM BY THE ADULT POPULATION (AGED 18-91) OF CUBA. THE FOOD CONSUMPTION INDICES WERE OBTAINED THROUGH 24-H DIETARY RECALL SURVEYS APPLIED TO 450 PEOPLE BETWEEN OCTOBER 2020 AND MARCH 2021. THE ESTIMATED DIETARY INTAKE (EDI) OF T-AS (54.6 MU G/DAY), PB (118.5 MU G/DAY) AND CD (35.1 MU G/DAY) COMPLIED WITH CUBAN LEGISLATION BUT WAS HIGHER THAN THE EDI FOR CD ESTABLISHED BY THE CONTAM PANEL. THE TARGET HAZARD QUOTIENTS FOR THE THREE CONTAMINANTS WERE: IAS (0.220), PB (0.409) AND CD (0.424), MAKING THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL TARGET HAZARD QUOTIENT 1.05, WHICH INDICATES POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS FOR THE POPULATION. ADDITIONALLY, ASSOCIATED CARCINOGENIC RISKS WERE: IAS (1.0 CENTER DOT 10-4), PB (7.2 CENTER DOT 10-4) AND CD (25.9 CENTER DOT 10-4). THEREFORE, 10, 72 AND 259 PERSONS PER 100,000 INHABITANTS ARE LIKELY PRONE TO DEVELOPING CANCER DUE TO THE INGESTION OF IAS, PB AND CD, RESPECTIVELY.
