To obtain the information of antimony pollution level in main food and evaluate the dietary exposure level in Hunan Province.Methods Based on the data from Nutrition and Health Status in Hunan Province in 2002 and food contamination monitoring in 2014 and 2015, the dietary exposure level of antimony in Hunan Province was calculated, and the safety of antimony intake was evaluated by the TDI established by WHO. Results 1 445 samples from 7 food categories were analyzed. The total detection rate was 80.8% (1 168/1 445). The detection values were ND-0.20 mg/kg. The median was 0.008 4 mg/kg, daily dietary intake of antimony by the general population was 0.65 μg/kg BW, and the MOS values was 9.2. The main resource of antimony was vegetable which contributed 83.09% of the exposure.Conclusion The average dietary antimony exposure from 7 food categories did not exceed the TDI, the MOS was bigger than 1 as the exposure was safe in general. However, the vegetables had a high risk to the residents, which should be paid attention to.
