Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2023, Vol 35, Issue 8

Abstract

ObjectiveTo assess the health risk of dietary exposure to nonylphenol in infants aged 0-36 months through infant formula in Shanghai.MethodsA monitoring of nonylphenol pollution in infant formula was conducted in 2022. A total of 90 samples were obtained from maternal and infant stores, supermarkets, and online stores in Shanghai. Based on the daily consumption data of infant formula, a point assessment method was used to assess the dietary exposure to nonylphenol in infant formula.ResultsThe prevalence of nonylphenol in infant formula retailed in Shanghai was 95.6% (86/90). The amount of nonylphenol varied from non-detected to 22.70 μg·kg-1, with the mean value of 8.47 μg·kg-1 and the P50 value of 7.77 μg·kg-1. The mean daily nonylphenol exposure (estimated by body weight) from infant formula in infants aged 0-6 months, 7-12 months and 13-36 months in Shanghai was 0.091, 0.068 and 0.054 μg·kg-1, respectively; furthermore, the P95 value of daily exposure (by body weight) was 0.228, 0.152 and 0.119 μg·kg-1, respectively. These amounts were much lower than the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of nonylphenol (by body weight 5 μg·kg-1).ConclusionThe health risk of daliy nonylphenol intake from infant formula remains low among infants aged 0-36 months in Shanghai.
