Levels and tissue-dependent distribution of dioxin in Japanese domestic leafy vegetables--from the 1999 national investigation.

Abstract：

:In 1999, Japanese domestic leafy vegetables were successively investigated for levels of dioxins, including 17 dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), four non-ortho co-planar PCBs (co-PCBs) and eight mono-ortho co-PCBs, all of which had been assigned toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) by WHO in 1997. The mean levels of dioxins in the edible portions were 0.07 (0.09) pg TEQ/g in spinach, 0.13 (0.14) pgTEQ/g in garland chrysanthemum, 0.01 (0.04) pg TEQ/g in mitsuba (marsh parsley) and 0.01 (0.03) pg TEQ/g in chingentsuai (Brassica Campestris var. chinesis), when non-detects were set to zero (and set to half the limit of detection). In order to understand the dioxin pollution of leafy vegetables in detail, a further investigation of dioxin levels in the tissues of spinach was conducted. As a result, the dioxin levels in the leaves were found to be higher than those in the stem and red collar, but they were much lower than those found in the primary and secondary roots, which are considerably affected by the soil, which is recognized as a sink of airborne dioxins. The dioxin levels in edible portions (leaves, stem and red collar) were obviously lower than those in non-edible portions (primary and secondary roots). In addition, from the finding that several lower-chlorinated PCDD/Fs and co-PCBs, namely 2,3,7,8-TCDD/F, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 1,2,3,7,8/2,3,4,7,8-PeCDFs, 1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDD, 1,2,3,4,7,8-/1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDFs, 3,3',4,4'-TCB, 2,3,3',4,4'-/2,3',4,4',5-PeCBs, and 2,3',4,4',5,5'-HxCB, were more highly represented in the dioxins in the leaves than in those in the secondary roots, it was suggested that in leafy vegetables the deposition of gaseous, presumably moderately volatile dioxins in leaf wax is another pollution pathway in addition to the adhesion of dioxin-contaminated particles including soil.
