Abstract

This study was conducted to estimate the contents of 6 trace metals in potatoes and root vegetables purchased in wholesale market in the Seoul region, specifically, Cu. As, Zn, Pb, Cd and Hg. The minimum and maximum results obtained for each metal are summarized as follows for potatoes; Cu : 0.094∼0.344, As : N.D∼0.070, Zn : 0.247∼1.547, Pb : N.D∼0.268, Cd : N.D∼0.005, Hg : 0.001∼0.027, and for root vegetables; Cu : 0.021∼0.510, As : 0.004∼0.045, Zn : 0.143∼3.137, Pb : N.D∼0.372, Cd : N.D∼0.009, Hg : 0.001∼0.195. The daily intakes of trace metals from potatoes and root vegetables were estimated on the basis of the daily intake of these foods by Koreans, which were 0.073∼22.253 and 0.567∼156.219$\mu\textrm{g}$ from potatoes and root vegetables, respectively. The weekly intakes of trace metals were 0.009∼2.596 and 0.066∼18.224$\mu\textrm{g}$ for potatoes and root vegetables, respectively. The weekly intakes of trace metals for potatoes and root vegetables were very much lower than the PTWI(provisional tolerable weekly intake), enough to be within a safe range.

우리 나라 국민이 많이 섭취하는 서류 및 구근류를 종류별로 나누어 가식부만 취해 중금속 함량을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조사된 서류 및 구근류의 Cu 함량 분포는 0.021~0.510ppm으로 0.489ppm의 차이가 났으며 양파의 Cu 함량 분포대는 0.038ppm으로 가장 좁게, 인삼 4년근의 Cu함량 분포가 0.325ppm으로 가장 넓게 나타났다. As 함량을 보면 최저는 고구마와 양파로 0.012ppm, 최고는 인삼 6년근으로 0.027ppm이었다. As 함량의 전체적인 분포는 N.D~0.070ppm으로 분포대가 가장 좁은 것은 생강으로 0.002ppm, 가장 넓은 것은 감자로 0.070ppm이었다. Zn 함량 분포대는 0.143~3.137ppm으로 분포대가 가장 좁은 것은 고구마로 0.046ppm, 가장 넓은 것은 마늘로 2.475ppm이었다. 2. Pb 함량 분석 결과 최저는 감자 0.001ppm, 최고는 고구마 0.112ppm으로 나타났다. 더덕, 생강의 Pb 함량은 각각 0.100, 0.107ppm으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며 도라지 Pb 분포대가 N.D~0.372 ppm으로 가장 넓게 나타났다. Cd 함량에서 최저는 무, 알타리무로 검출되지 않았으며, 최고는 우엉과 더덕 이 0.005ppm으로 대부분의 시료들에서 거의 미량 검출되었다. Cd 함량 분포는 N.D~0.009ppm으로 분포범위가 비교적 좁게 나타났다. Hg 함량 분포는 0.001~0.195ppm으로 0.194ppm 분포대를 보였으며, 생강이 0.001ppm으로 가장 좁게 알타리무가 0.184ppm으로 가장 넓은 분포대를 보였다. 3. 중금속 섭취량에 따른 안정성 평가에서 서류에 의한 각 중금속의 주간 섭취량을 보면 Cu 0.807$\mu\textrm{g}$, As 0.064$\mu\textrm{g}$, Zn 2.596$\mu\textrm{g}$, Pb 0.243$\mu\textrm{g}$, Cd 0.009$\mu\textrm{g}$, Hg 0.026$\mu\textrm{g}$, 구근류에 의한 각 중금속의 주간 섭취량은 Cu 4.700$\mu\textrm{g}$, As 0.628$\mu\textrm{g}$, Zn 18.224$\mu\textrm{g}$, Pb 2.249$\mu\textrm{g}$, Cd 0.066$\mu\textrm{g}$, Hg 0.430$\mu\textrm{g}$으로 잠정주간섭취허용량(PTWI)과 비교하였을 때 매우 낮은 수준으로 섭취시 위해성은 거의 없을 것으로 조사되었다.
