Sažetak
The results of the investigation present an estimation of ingested lead levels in pre-school children's daily meals and refer to the quantity offered in the nursery only. Average lead concentrations determined in the duplicate portion samples per season (expressed in μg/kg food) were: 2.38+/-1.33 in winter, 3.41+/-2.21 in spring, and 3.25+/-1.22 in autumn. According to the EFSA, the estimated lead level for the dietary exposure of an average children consumer (of 4 to 7 years) ranges between 0.80 to 2.61 μg/kg body wt a day. The investigation shows that exposure to lead in pre-school children from Zadar County, Croatia is within EFSA estimations and can be considered safe.
