Pesticide Residues in Food: Data and Federal Oversight

Kathleen Morrison, "Pesticide Residues in Food: Data and Federal Oversight"


English | ISBN: 1634822927 | 2015 | 156 pages | PDF | 2 MB

From 1970 to 2007, hundreds of millions of pounds of pesticides were applied annually to U.S. food crops to protect them from pests. To protect consumers, EPA sets standards— known as tolerances—for pesticide residues on foods. FSIS monitors meat, poultry, and processed egg products to ensure they do not violate EPA’s tolerances, and FDA monitors other foods, including fruits and vegetables. AMS gathers annual residue data for highly consumed foods, although not for enforcement purposes. This book examines what FDA data show with respect to pesticide residue violations in the foods that it regulates; what FSIS data show with respect to pesticide residue violations in the foods that it regulates; and what AMS data show with respect to pesticide residue levels in fruits and vegetables.

“

L'Algérie est le pays avec lequel notre histoire est la plus passionnelle. Un couple au sens propre qui aime déclarer sa flamme, mais aussi se déchirer. Les drapeaux algériens qui saluent l'élection de Hollande ou flottent sur les matchs de foot, le président algérien qui se fait soigner en France, le statut si particulier des immigrés algériens, la colère toujours vivante des pieds-noirs, les embarras de la classe politique française avec le Système algérien, l'un des plus complexes du monde, mêlant affairisme, lutte de clans et souverainisme exacerbé, sont les conséquences d'un divorce non… consommé. Aujourd'hui, officiellement, cette relation est au beau fixe. Sur le plan sécuritaire, la France a plus que jamais besoin de l'Algérie pour gagner la guerre contre les djihadistes qui sévissent au Sahel. Sur le plan économique, la France tente de reprendre sa place de premier partenaire. Sur le plan politique, François Hollande multiplie les marques d'affection pour le pouvoir algérien qui est à bout de souffle. Mais l'histoire entre la France et l'Algérie reste une blessure mal refermée qui empêche un regard lucide et favorise les compromis, voire les compromissions. Si la justice est prompte à traquer les biens mal acquis des dirigeants d'Afrique noire, elle est beaucoup plus timide pour les responsables algériens et leur patrimoine en France. Une enquête qui multiplie les révélations.

Phycotoxins: Chemistry and Biochemistry

Luis M. Botana, Amparo Alfonso, "Phycotoxins: Chemistry and Biochemistry"


2015 | 2 edition | ISBN-10: 1118500369 | 544 pages | PDF | 10 MB

Phycotoxins are a diverse group of poisonous substances produced by certain seaweed and algae in marine and fresh waters and are important to the scientific community for many reasons, the most obvious being that they pose food safety issues which requires a large investment to regularly monitor the presence of these compounds in foods. Phycotoxins: Chemistry and Biochemistry, second edition presents the most updated information available on phycotoxins. Major emphases are given to chemistry and biochemistry, while origins, mechanism of action, toxicology, and analytical methodology are also covered. Since the publication of the first edition, there have been major advances in the science of marine and aquatic toxins, as well as advances in toxicology, analytical chemistry and pharmacology. This fully revised and updated edition includes several new chapters, including those on ciguatoxins, pinnatoxin, ichthyotoxins, as well as new chapters on food safety control of marine toxins, climate change and water toxins, and microalgae as a source of nutraceuticals. The book will be of interest to toxicologists, marine, food, and plant scientists, as well as researchers and academics in the areas of food science, medicine, public health, toxicology, pharmacology and marine biology.
