Contribution of Shellfish Consumption
to the Dietary Exposure of the French
Population to Chemical Contaminants
Nathalie Arnich, V´ eronique Sirot, and Jean-Charles Leblanc
Introduction
In June 2011, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health
& Safety (ANSES) published the final report of the second Total Diet Study (TDS)
conducted in France between 2006 and 2009 (ANSES 2011). The first TDS was
published in 2004 based on samples collected in 2000–2001 (Leblanc et al. 2005).
Regarding the scope of the ICMSS conferences, it was decided to estimate
the contribution of shellfish consumption to the dietary exposure of the French
population to the main chemical contaminants. This work has been specially
performed for the 2011 conference in Charlottetown (Canada). It has not been
published elsewhere.
Method
TDS Methodology
The French TDS used a standardised method recommended by the World Health
Organization (WHO). The detailed methodology is available in the report (ANSES
2011) and in Sirot et al. (2009). The main points are briefly summarized below.
