| According to the survey data on chicken, chicken liver and egg collected from Guangdong province,
the contents of arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg) in the samples were analyzed.
The dietary exposure risk caused by these heavy metals was evaluated using the method of point estimation. The
results showed that the contents of As, Pb, Cd, Cr and Hg in chicken liver and egg samples were lower than the

and egg was 100%, the qualified rate of chicken was 95%. The risk assessment results showed that children belonged
