Abstract

Soil ingestion was estimated over seven consecutive days in a soil tracer‐based mass‐balance methodology in 12 children, aged 1 to 3 years. The children had been identified by parents as likely high soil ingesters based on retrospective observation of daily soil ingestion behavior over the past 30 d. While one of the 12 children displayed high soil ingestion (0.5 to 3.05 g/d) on 4 of 7 d, median soil ingestion rates for the 12 children were comparable to those published in other soil ingestion studies of young children selected for studies based on age and not assumed or observed soil ingestion behavior. The lack of ability of parental judgments to predict high soil ingestion rates represents both an important observation and a significant limitation in current methods to efficiently and accurately identify children who ingest high amounts of soil.

经家长观察，儿童土壤摄食率可能较高

采用基于土壤示踪剂的质量平衡方法，对12名1至3岁儿童连续7天的土壤摄食情况进行了评估。根据对过去30天每日土壤摄食行为的回顾性观察，这些儿童被父母确定为可能的高土壤摄食者。虽然12名儿童中的一名在7天中的4天表现出高土壤摄食(0.5至3.05克/天)，但这12名儿童的土壤摄食率中位数与其他根据年龄选择的幼儿土壤摄食研究中公布的数据相当，而这些研究没有假设或观察到土壤摄食行为。缺乏父母判断来预测高土壤摄取率的能力，这既是一个重要的观察结果，也是目前有效和准确识别摄入大量土壤的儿童的方法的一个重大限制。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
