Heavy Metals in a Market Basket of Foods in Montevideo, Uruguay: Implications for Dietary Exposures in Low-Income School Children
Objectives: Food contamination is receiving heightened attention, but few comprehensive studies describe heavy metal content in foods or dietary exposure risks to heavy metals among vulnerable groups. We analyzed arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and minerals in a market basket of foods from Montevideo, Uruguay and estimated daily dietary exposure in school children.
