Article Synopsis
- The study examined how much lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) can be absorbed from three types of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their decoctions using a specific digestion and cell model.
- A new risk assessment model was developed to evaluate the health risks associated with exposure to these heavy metals in TCMs, using a hazard index (HI) and a method for more detailed analysis called TTD.
- Results showed the bioavailability of these metals varied significantly, but overall health risks from TCMs were found to be acceptable based on adjusted HI outcomes, contributing to a better understanding of how to ensure safer TCM use for public health.
