Abstract

Fruit juices (FJs) are among the most popular beverages frequently preferred by consumers, believing FJs contain the nutritional values, minerals, phytochemicals, vitamins, and antioxidants necessary for a healthy life. However, FJs may contain natural radionuclides such as radon (²²²Rn), which originates from the fruit and water utilized in their production, at levels that may pose a health risk to people. Inhalation and ingestion of ²²²Rn gas increases the risk of lung and stomach cancer. In this study, commercially packaged FJs from the seventeen most popular brands consumed in Turkey were analyzed for physicochemical properties and ²²²Rn activity concentrations to evaluate the radiological health risk. The values of pH, brix and ²²²Rn activity concentrations in FJ samples varied from 2.68 to 4.28, 2.50 to 14.30%, 9.6 ± 1.1 to 25.2 ± 2.5 mBq/L, respectively. The radiological health risk caused by internal exposure was evaluated for children and adults by estimating the ingestion and inhalation annual effective dose. The average values of the total annual effective dose for children and adults were found as 0.039 µSv and 0.056 µSv, respectively, which are much lower than the recommended dose of 100 µSv for drinking water.

评估在土耳其消费的商业包装果汁中摄入和吸入氡造成的辐射健康风险。

果汁是最受消费者欢迎的饮料之一，他们认为果汁含有健康生活所需的营养价值、矿物质、植物化学物质、维生素和抗氧化剂。然而，果冻可能含有天然放射性核素，如氡（222Rn），这种放射性核素来源于生产果冻的水果和水，其含量可能对人体健康构成威胁。吸入和摄入 222Rn 气体会增加罹患肺癌和胃癌的风险。在这项研究中，对土耳其最受欢迎的十七种品牌的商业包装 FJ 进行了理化特性和 222Rn 活性浓度分析，以评估辐射健康风险。FJ 样品中的 pH 值、糖度和 222Rn 活性浓度分别介于 2.68 至 4.28、2.50 至 14.30%、9.6 ± 1.1 至 25.2 ± 2.5 mBq/L 之间。通过估算摄入和吸入的年有效剂量，对儿童和成人体内辐照造成的辐射健康风险进行了评估。结果发现，儿童和成人的全年总有效剂量平均值分别为 0.039 µSv 和 0.056 µSv，远低于饮用水的建议剂量 100 µSv。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
