Food Contamination, RadioactiveModels, TheoreticalHong KongA dynamic food chain model has been built for the modeling of the transfer of 137 Cs in three types of vegetables consumed in Hong Kong, namely, white
Pb(NO3)2 solution was used as the source of Pb contamination, and after adding it into the tested soil, the concentration of Pb2+ in the tested soil reached 2000 (mg kg−1). With the weighing method, ultrapure water was added to keep the moisture content of the soil sample at 60%...
For this study, we focused on the production of 1 ton of waste from each scenario as our functional unit. In the case of landfilling, the system boundaries cover the first stage of waste management, which is the gathering and delivery of food waste to the landfill site. The landfill ...
In medicine, there are three steps taken used to ensure non-disposable equipment is safe before use. Discover the three levels of decontamination in infection control: cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. Pyramid of Decontamination You've heard of the food pyramid, but have you heard of the...
Xianchao Feng2 & Jianyong Han 1 Cultured meat production has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the global food industry with the potential to reduce challenges associated with environmental sustainability, global public health, animal welfare, and com- petition for food between humans and animal...
For some substances (e.g., amitraz and coumaphos), an MRL has been established, while for other substances, evaluation has demonstrated that no MRL was required to protect food safety (flumethrin, oxalic acid, and tau-fluvalinate). MRLs of VMPs must be respected when treating varoosis. ...
What types of bacteria are inhibited on MacConkey agar, and what type of contamination does this plate usually help to identify? Which types of bacteria are considered normal cardiovascular system microflora? Explain three ways microbes are detrimental to human life. There are microbes in all three...
The low levels of triclosan may be attributed to biodegradation, particularly photolysis in surface waters (Durán-Álvarez et al., 2015). To obtain a preliminary assessment of contamination across the estuaries, the concentrations of the dominant pharmaceuticals and acesulfame in the three estuaries ...
This paper uses four indicators to characterize the pressures brought about by human-nature interactions, namely, pressures on soil fertility, water resource contamination, air pollution, and the allocation of urban land. However, the population pressure and a strong economic growth momentum of China...
