- Abstract
The chemical and biological toxicity of arsenic is dependent on its forms. This study investigated the arsenic species and content in chicken meat and evaluates the risk of arsenic exposure. Analysis of 30 samples showed that the average arsenic content was about 179 Jlgl kg. The main arsenic species are arsenobetaine, dimethylarsinic acid, and arsenite. Among them, AsB is the highest with 92.72% of total arsenic content, followed by DMA and Asiii. The ratio of organic arsenic to total arsenic was 92.22%. Inorganic arsenic was only 3.19 J.Lglkg in average accounting for 1. 78% of total arsenic. A risk assessment of the inorganic arsenic content of chicken showed that if one serving of meat ( 60 g) was taken daily, the exposure levels of inorganic arsenic to 6 and 15 year-old childrens were 0.001 and 0.003 J.Lg/ kg/day, respectively. The results were lower than 3.0 J.Lglkg body weight per day, which were BMDL0.5 as set by the Joint FAO/WHO JECFA that resulted in a 0.5% increase in lung cancer.
