Current status of pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits and progress in risk assessment / 公共卫生与预防医学

Objective To review the status of pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits and the progress of risk assessment, and to provide data support for pesticide residue research, residents' dietary exposure risks and safety risk management. Methods Domestic and international literature and research data available are reviewed and analyzed. Results This article mainly reviews the literature on the investigation of current status of pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits. It also discusses several methods and models that have been widely employed in the dietary exposure risk assessment of pesticide residues worldwide. Conclusion Pesticide residues have been frequently reported in vegetables and fruits, mainly including organophosphorus, organochlorine, carbamate and pyrethroid pesticide residues. The relevant risk assessment results indicate that different groups of people, especially those with high exposure, have cumulative dietary exposure risks to pesticides in vegetables and fruits. Although most pesticide residues have been detected at low concentrations in vegetables and fruits, they have potential toxicity risks and require continuous attention.

Advances in research on toxicity and dietary exposure of aluminum / 公共卫生与预防医学

In recent years, the use of aluminum-containing additives in the food has received wide public attention. Many studies have shown that excessive exposure to aluminum can cause health damage to human body. This paper will review and evaluate the research progress of aluminum toxicity, domestic and international dietary aluminum exposure assessment, and the feasibility of the control measures on the aluminum intake, to provide relevant evidence for the health risk assessment of aluminum in food.
