Description
Daily intakes of twelve elements in Ukrainian subjects were estimated in relation to the health effects on habitants after the Chernobyl accident. Total diets were collected from one hundred twenty-three locations for children and adult males by a duplicate portion method. Elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Geometric mean and median (in parentheses) of daily intake in Ukrainians are as follows: Co 10.3 (9.83) μg; Cu 0.688 (0.701) mg; Zn 5.73 (5.44) mg; Mn 2.26 (2.28) mg; Fe 8.15 (7.25) mg; Rb 2.74 (2.58) mg; Mg 0.210 (0.219) g; Ca 0.584 (0.606) g; P 0.839 (0.815) g; K 2.80 (2.75) g; and Na 3.76 (3.57) g. The intakes of Cu, Mn, and Zn in Ukrainians were lower than those of Japanese and worldwide reported values. (author)
