Abstract:

Dosimetric monitoring of external gamma radiation in radioactively contaminated areas is an essential measure to ensure public safety. Accumulated data on radioactive contamination from different periods can be used for scientific forecasting. This study was conducted in July 2024 as part of research on agricultural ecosystems in radioactively contaminated areas of the Bryansk region. The surveyed settlements are among the most affected in Russia following the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident. They are located either in the zone of residence with the right to relocation, where the curren

This work examines how the pollution from landfill aftercare effect the surrounding area and water basins. The subject of the study was a closed landfill where waste was disposed of without any accounting and operation of the landfill. During the study, soil, surface water, and sediment samples were taken over a two-year period. The data obtained compared with the maximum allowable concentrations established in the Northern part of Lithuania. The water sampling sites were selected taking into account the direction of the water flow, and the landfill was found to influence the water quality. Wi

Studies were conducted during 2002-2005 (Rabi season) to evaluate the extent of genetic contamination in round fruited ridge gourd (recessive) vehen grown for seed production under open field conditions. The round fruited ridge gourd was sown at 200 m, 400 m, 600 m and 800 m distance from Arlia Sumeet (long fruited) which acted as the local marker (dominant). The highest percentage of genetic contamination was recorded at a distance of 200 m from the contaminator (Arka Sumeet) (28.62% and 88.1%, respectively, in the years 2003 and 2005). It was also observed that there was a gradual reduction

Abstract:

Metal contamination of food is a major food safety concern emerging at global as well as national level. Air, water and soil are the major routes through which metals enter the food chain. Gujarat being the second most industrialized state of India and Vadodara having the highest number of chemical factories in Gujarat is at a higher risk of metal toxicity. Research has also been done to analyze metal contamination of raw food hence in the present study investigations were done on metal contamination of total diets. The objective was to analyze each meal of the day and water sample of the subj

The problem on food health is the high amount of bacterial contamination of food served by food industries. The quality of beef can be affected by the level of bacterial contamination in meat. Coliform is a group of bacteria used as a sanitary hygiene indicator. The purpose of this study is to measure the value of MPN Coliform in beef at Krian’s abattoir of district Sidoarjo. Thirty samples were taken from the abattoir of Krian, Sidoarjo. Most Probable Number was used to determine the level of Coliform's contaminate beef.

Abstract:

Fusarium graminearum is a fungal species affecting the quality and safety of malting barley grains, one of the most important cereals worldwide. Fungal growth and mycotoxin production vary among growing seasons and sowing locations, mainly due to weather conditions. This work aimed to assess the incidence of F. graminearum and the contamination with Deoxynivalenol (DON) in 40 barley grain samples from different Buenos Aires, Argentina localities during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. F. graminearum was identified in 80% of the samples. It was isolated in eight of eleven localities in the fi

The reproductive success of orchard and nonorchard pollens was studied in seeds from megastrobili exposed during different stages of pollen shedding in a Pinussylvestris L. seed orchard. Wind pollination was controlled experimentally by isolating and then temporarily exposing the megastrobili to four different stages of pollen shedding by orchard trees. The amount of pollen contamination in the seed crop was determined using isozyme markers and an undetected gamete model. The estimated level of pollen contamination was 48% when megastrobili were exposed during the entire pollination season. Co

According to a recent study, turmeric from Bangladesh, one of the main producing countries, was found to be contaminated with lead at levels of up to 1 g/kg, which poses a health risk. A possible cause is colour enhancement with yellow lead chromate (PbCrO4). This can change the colour of the dried or ground turmeric root according to consumer expectations and at the same time increase the profit margin. Based on testing of 43 samples, there has so far been no indication of elevated lead levels in the range of the

Aflatoxin, a type of mycotoxin, is mostly produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. It is responsible for the loss of billions of dollars to the world economy, by contaminating different crops such as cotton, groundnut, maize, and chilies, and causing immense effects on the health of humans and animals. More than eighteen different types of aflatoxins have been reported to date, and among them, aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 are the most prevalent and lethal. Early detection of fungal infection plays a key role in the control of aflatoxin contamination. Therefore, different me
