[RISK ASSESSMENT TO HEALTH OF THE POPULATION OF BURIATIIA IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONSUMPTION OF FOODSTUFF]
Abstract:
Evaluation of the risk associated with contamination of food products coming to the population of the Republic of Buryatia, was performed on the basis of data on the content of contaminants in basic food products and results of the questionnaire survey of the adult population. There are considered groups with taking into account gender differences and dietary preferences. Hazard index of chemical impact of non-carcinogenic substances coming from the food, in the surveyed individuals with predominance of lipid-protein diet is on the border of the permissible level (HI = 1,06-1,18). There are most probable effects of negative impact of toxicants with a significant proportion of the diet of imported products: in females--on the endocrine system (HI = 1.27-2.83), central (HI = 1.35) and the autonomic nervous system (HI = 1.29); in males--on the endocrine system (HI = 2.7). Carcinogenic risks are in the second range (more than 1 case per 10,000 people), the main contribution (62.2-78.9%) into the number of additional cases of malignant tumors among the population of the Republic of Buryatia is made by cadmium.
