Unknown peaks were detected in the chromatogram of garland chrysanthemum extract in analysis of organophosphorus pesticide residues. The unknown peaks were identified as isomers of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) by GC/MS. TCP is used as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride, and there is no report of its detection in foods. Therefore, we investigated the origin of TCP detected in garland chrysanthemum. We found no effect of contact with packaging film or polyvinyl chloride sheet used in greenhouses. However, TCP was detected at 0.03 microg/g (average) in 16 of 20 samples of garland chrysanthemum that had been in contact with polyvinyl chloride tubing used for warming greenhouses. These results indicate that TCP migrated to the garland chrysanthemum from the tubing used to keep greenhouses warm.

Dietary exposure to trace metals (TMs) through vegetable consumption has been identified as a potential risk to human health. Fifty-one paired agricultural soil and leaf vegetable samples were collected around V-containing stone coal smelting sites in Hunan Province, China, to study the contamination and transfer characteristics of TMs (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, V, and Zn) in the soil-vegetable system. The health risk to local residents through vegetable ingestion was evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations.
