(2017) Keywords: Air Pollution, Indoor DNA Probes environment Fungi Limit of Detection Nucleic Acid Hybridization Abstract: Considered as a public health problem, indoor fungal contamination is generally ...
Assessment of dietary intake of 10 intense sweeteners by the Italian population.
whether the Italian general population (aged >3-65+) was at risk for exceeding the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 10 intense sweeteners. A food label survey was performed in Rome (Italy), using market ...
The added value of food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) information to estimate the usual food intake based on repeated 24-hour recalls
the usual dietary intake of foods in a population generally ignore the additional information on the never-consumers. The objective of this study is to determine the added value of Food Frequency ...
Ecotoxicological potential of antibiotic pollution-industrial wastewater: bioavailability, biomarkers, and occurrence in Mytilus galloprovincialis.
ultimately to public health. In this work, we collected the wastewater sample from a pharmaceutical industry, which specializes in the antibiotics manufacture, during the years 2014-2015. Generally, this ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
been encountered. Baby cups, teats, dinnerware and other infant FCM s were studied as well. However, for the latter items, a major percentage of the polymers used for their production could generally not ...
Evaluation of the migration of chemicals from baby bottles under standardised and duration testing conditions.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus on Belgian Pork.
a high prevalence was observed in pigs. At present, questions remain about the transmission of LA- MRSA to the general human population through pork. The objectives of the present study were to determine ...
Development and application of a non-target extraction method for the analysis of migrating compounds from plastic baby bottles by GC-MS.
comparing their obtained MS spectra with commercially available WILEY and NIST mass spectra libraries. Generally, clear differences in the migrating compounds and their intensities were observed between the ...
