Abstract

This study aimed to determine the content of elemental levels of eight plants species originating from Mauritania and used as medicinal plant and to assess their risk for human health. The range of elemental content in the studied plant parts of these plant species were 0.51-16.1 mg/g for Ca, 2.63-6.49 mg/g for Mg, 11.2-201 μg/g for Al, 6.5-28.2 μg/g for Zn, 5.6-453 μg/g for Fe, 1.1-6.4 μg/g for Ni, 11.0-302 μg/g for Mn and 0.7-9.0 μg/g for Cu. The Cr, Pb, Cd and Co levels were below the limits of detection in all samples. The estimated weekly intake (EWI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) were calculated. Except for Al the THQ values were below 1, so it could be concluded that these plant species have low probability of causing non-cancer health problems for the consumer.

毛里塔尼亚植物中的宏微量元素和风险评估。

本研究旨在确定原产于毛里塔尼亚并用作药用植物的八种植物的元素含量，并评估其对人类健康的风险。这些植物物种的研究植物部分的元素含量范围为0.51-16.1 钙含量为mg/g，2.63-6.49 镁，mg/g，11.2-201 μg/g，对于Al，6.5-28.2 μg/g锌，5.6-453 μg/g，Fe，1.1-6.4 μg/g，对于Ni，11.0-302 μg/g（Mn）和0.7-9.0 μg/g。所有样品中的Cr、Pb、Cd和Co含量均低于检测限。计算估计的每周摄入量（EWI）和目标危险商（THQ）。除Al外，THQ值低于1，因此可以得出结论，这些植物物种对消费者造成非癌症健康问题的可能性很低。

期刊介绍： Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling. Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment. The scope is initially restricted to: Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives; Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues; Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging. Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet. Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
