Book Mycotoxins and phycotoxins

Download or read book Mycotoxins and phycotoxins written by Henry Njapau and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains selected peer-reviewed papers of the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) symposium 'Mycotoxins and phycotoxins'. These symposia are the principal international interdisciplinary conventions focusing on occurrence, advances in determination, toxicology and exposure management of these bio-contaminants. The chapters are organized in sections that include up to date overviews of current mycotoxin and phycotoxin issues. Advances in analytical techniques using rapid screening tools, high-sensitivity instrumental methods and their combinations, applied for single and multi-toxin determinations, are highlighted in a specific section of the book. Identification of requisite agronomic factors and pre-harvest forecasting for strategic intervention are part of a treatise on exposure management. Since the inception more than 30 years ago, this IUPAC symposia series has grown in scope, scientific novelty and value.

Book Food Safety Management

Download or read book Food Safety Management written by Pablo A. Carrión and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cats and dogs are popular pets throughout the world. The pet food industry utilizes the same ingredient streams as that of the human food supply and may encounter the same potential food safety hazards. There is a difference in the severity of health effects of these hazards. Pets are relatively resistant to acute infection by common food pathogens but may be very sensitive to the toxicity of common mycotoxins and veterinary drugs. The most significant historical pet food safety incidents in terms of frequency of occurrence and severity are related to aflatoxins, veterinary drug contamination, Salmonella and, more recently, adulterated ingredients. With the exception of Salmonella contamination of pet foods, most other food safety hazards are ingredient or formulation based and have no effective control measure in the manufacturing process itself. Potential HACCP control strategies to address these food safety hazards are discussed.

Book Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores

Download or read book Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores written by Nicholas P. Money and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molds are everywhere: we inhale their microscopic spores from birth to death. But when an investigation in Ohio revealed that babies suffering from a serious lung illness had been exposed to a toxic black mold in their homes, millions of Americans became nervous about patches of mold in their own basements and bathrooms. Before long, lawsuits were filed by the residents of mold-contaminated homes in every state. By failing to address water damage, building contractors, plumbers, and insurance agents were held liable for exposing families to an unprecedented microbiological hazard. The mold crisis soon developed into a fully-fledged media circus. In Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores, Nicholas Money explores the science behind the headlines and courtroom dramas, and profiles the toxin-producing mold that is a common inhabitant of water-damaged buildings. Nicholas Money tells the most important mycological story since potato blight, with his inimitable style of scientific clarity and dark humor.

Book Environmental Protection Strategies for Sustainable Development

Download or read book Environmental Protection Strategies for Sustainable Development written by Abdul Malik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-18 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environment of our planet is degrading at an alarming rate because of non-sustainable urbanization, industrialization and agriculture. Unsustainable trends in relation to climate change and energy use, threats to public health, poverty and social exclusion, demographic pressure and ageing, management of natural resources, biodiversity loss, land use and transport still persist and new challenges are arising. Since these negative trends bring about a sense of urgency, short term action is required, whilst maintaining a longer term perspective. The main challenge is to gradually change our current unsustainable consumption and production patterns and the nonintegrated approach to policy-making. This book covers the broad area including potential of rhizospheric microorganisms in the sustainable plant development in anthropogenic polluted soils, bioremediation of pesticides from soil and waste water, toxic metals from soil, biological treatment of pulp and paper industry wastewater, sustainable solutions for agro processing waste management, solid waste management on climate change and human health, environmental impact of dyes and its remediation. Various methods for genotoxicity testing of environmental pollutants are also discussed and chapters on molecular detection of resistance and transfer genes in the environmental samples, biofilm formation by the environmental bacteria, biochemical attributes to assess soil ecosystem sustainability, application of rhizobacteria in biotechnology, role of peroxidases as a tool for the decolorization and removal of dyes and potential of biopesticides in sustainable agriculture. It offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking various protection strategies for sustainable development, describing the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field eco-toxicologist, the biotechnology consultant, environmental engineers and different international environmental regulatory and protection agencies.
