LEVELS AND TEMPORAL TRENDS(2002-2008)OF DIOXINS IN THE BLOOD OF URBAN DWELLERS IN KOREA
We measured the recent background serum levels of exposure to PCDD/Fs and analyzed trend of dioxin levels in the blood of urban dwellers in Korca from 2002 to 2008.Blood samples were obtained between 2002 and 2008 from 278 volunteers(arithmetic mean of age 48 years old )living in an urban area of Korea. The means and SDs (standard deviations)of dioxins were 10.66±7.34 in 2002,8.20±6.07in 2003,10.01±7.56in 2004,10.12±5.48in 2006,10.66±5.64in 2007,and 10.97±4.71 pg-TEQ05/g lipid in 2008.Mean body burden levels of PCDDs,PCDFs,and dioxins were respectively 8.74±8.09,9.79±5.72,and 18.53±12.33ng-TEQ05/kg-BW.Although the dioxin levels in blood did not decline over time from 2002to2008,the serum lvevls of dioxins were significantly correlated with age and BMI.The significant time-BMI interaction of serum dioxin levels indicates that body fat affects the reduction rate of the dioxins concentration in blood.
