Table 4.
Estimated mean total daily intake of shellfish, estimated mean intake of As species, and mean sum of As species in urine.a
| Korean cohort | Korean cohort providing urine sample | |
|---|---|---|
| Mean intake of nine species of clams consumed [g/day (SD)]b | 13.5 (20.2) | 12.9 (19.5) |
| Mean As species intake from nine species of clams [μg/day (SD)]c | 2.0 (2.7) | 1.7 (2.5) |
| Sum of species in urine [μg/day (SD)]d | NA | 47.9 (40.9) |
NA, not available.
Estimated mean total daily intake of shellfish (mollusks) species consumed and estimated mean intake of As species are provided for the Korean cohort (n = 108) and for those who provided urine samples (n = 67); the mean sum of As species in micrograms excreted daily in urine is provided only for the 67 participants who provided samples.
Shellfish species consumption in grams per day (± SD) based on intake of six shellfish species collected along with geoduck, mussels, and razor clam.
As species include DMA, MMA, and As+3 and As+5 combined.
Sum of As species includes DMA, MMA, and As+3 and As+5 and is based on the unadjusted value from Table 2 (30.6 μg/L) and an excretion rate of 1.5 L/day.
