根据地理位置、饮食行为或生活方式确定砷暴露量非常重要，因为即使是中度暴露也可能导致健康问题。华盛顿州的韩国社区代表了一个群体的调查，因为他们消费的食物（例如，贝类、稻米、有鳍鱼类和海藻）中含有砷。作为砷汞摄入量生物统计学研究的一部分，我们检查了头发和尿液中的砷水平沿着的饮食的108名育龄妇女从这个社区。室内空气和饮用水中的砷含量也进行了调查，并收集和分析的总砷和形态的贝类通常消费。分析的六种贝类（n = 667）含有总砷（范围，1-5 μg/g），但无机砷的来源很小（范围，0.01-0.12 μg/g）。6%的人可能由于饮食而导致尿无机砷水平升高（> 10 μg/L）。根据质量平衡估计，海藻、稻米、贝类和有鳍鱼类是总砷摄入/排泄的主要来源。大米消费量（163克/人/天）可能是无机砷的重要来源。空气和水不是重要的接触源。头发是一个穷人的生物测定检测砷水平在低至中度曝光。我们的结论是，这个社区的一部分可能有饮食无机砷暴露导致尿液中的水平超过10微克/升。虽然他们的接触量低于与饮用水中高水平砷（> 100微克/升）接触人群相关的接触量，但他们的接触量可能是美国最高的。
Determining arsenic exposure in groups based on geographic location, dietary behaviors, or lifestyles is important, as even moderate exposures may lead to health concerns. The Korean community in Washington State, represents a group warranting investigation, as they consume foods (e.g., shellfish, rice, finfish, and seaweed) known to contain arsenic. As part of the Arsenic Mercury Intake Biometric Study, we examined the arsenic levels in hair and urine along with the diets of 108 women of childbearing age from within this community. Arsenic levels in indoor air and drinking water were also investigated, and shellfish commonly consumed were collected and analyzed for total and speciated arsenic. The six shellfish species analyzed (n = 667) contain total arsenic (range, 1–5 μg/g) but are a small source of inorganic arsenic (range, 0.01–0.12 μg/g). Six percent of the individuals may have elevated urinary inorganic arsenic levels (> 10 μg/L) due to diet. Seaweed, rice, shellfish, and finfish are principal sources for total arsenic intake/excretion based on mass balance estimates. Rice consumption (163 g/person/day) may be a significant source of inorganic arsenic. Air and water are not significant sources of exposure. Hair is a poor biometric for examining arsenic levels at low to moderate exposures. We conclude that a portion of this community may have dietary inorganic arsenic exposure resulting in urine levels exceeding 10 μg/L. Although their exposure is below that associated with populations exposed to high levels of arsenic from drinking water (> 100 μg/L), their exposure may be among the highest in the United States.
