Abstract:
:As one of the main components of risk assessment, exposure assessment plays a key role in evaluating risk. Many different scenarios can be developed to estimate the risk from exposure to chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is primarily interested in POPs as humans may be exposed to these compounds through food. Examples of POPs found in food include dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and some pesticide chemicals. This overview discusses various sources of data that CFSAN has used to estimate dietary exposure to POPs, and provides an example of a recent calculation of an estimate for dietary exposure for consumers in the USA to dioxins in the food supply.
