Effect on the weekly dietary lead exposure of a 70 kg person of replacing the typical meat component of the diet in the UK with meals of meat of each of several species, including game animals.

The estimated arithmetic mean concentration of lead in foods is expressed in ppb by wet weight of meat, with the lead present in the sauce of WWT samples cooked with sauce also being included. The number of meals of each species, based upon 150 g of meat, that would need to be consumed for the weekly intake of lead from the whole diet to exceed the FAO/WHO Provisional Weekly Tolerable Intake (PTWI) is given. Also given is the weekly lead intake from the whole diet, as a percentage of PTWI, if the typical daily consumption of meat in the UK (88 g d−1 ww) was replaced by a daily meal based upon 88 g of meat of the species shown.
