Abstract:

Objective To investigate the pollution characteristics of pentachlorophenol in bamboo and wood products for food contact in Hainan Province and assess the risk dietary exposure. Methods Totally 100 bamboo and wood products for food contact were randomly collected from 18 cities and counties in Hainan Province during 2020 and 2023. The contents of pentachlorophenol were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results The qualified rate of pentachlorophenol was 74.0%,the average was 0.506 mg/kg,26 samples exceeded the standard,and the over-standard rate was 26.0%. The over-standard rate and average value of bamboo and wood chopsticks were 14.0% and 0.080 mg/kg,respectively. The over-standard rate and average value of pentachlorophenol in bamboo and wood cutting boards were higher than those in bamboo and wood chopsticks,at 38.0% and 0.931 mg/kg,respectively. Among the 10 materials,2 materials of bamboo and wood products had a 50% over-standard rate of pentachlorophenol,which were Okan wood and rubber wood,respectively. The over-standard rate of pentachlorophenol in bamboo and wood products produced in Hainan and Fujian was higher than that in Zhejiang and Guangdong. The result of dietary exposure assessment showed that the estimated daily dietary intake(EDI) of pentachlorophenol through bamboo chopsticks and bamboo cutting boards were 0.001 3 and 0.015 5 mg/(kg·BW),respectively,and the hazard quotients(HQ) were 2 and 26,respectively,indicating potential health risks. Conclusion The dietary intake of pentachlorophenol from bamboo and wooden products for food contact presents a potential health risk,so further dietary exposure risk assessment should be carried out based on more accurate food consumption data. At the same time,risk management measures should be taken to control the use and migration of pentachlorophenol,and the exposure risk of pentachlorophenol should be controlled by means of science popularization and technological innovation.
