Position paper on the use of an “estimated acceptable concentration” (EAC) as basis for a control policy's action level for carcinogens unintentionally present in food

substantiated by a quick scoping review of scientific literature and reports. Key findings and conclusions Case-dependent, whether a threshold effect level can be defined or not, the EAC is calculated based on ...

Urinary sodium and iodine concentrations among Belgian adults: results from the first national Health Examination Survey.

height and weight. RESULTS: Median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) among adults (n = 1092) was 93.6 µg/L, indicating mild iodine deficiency according to WHO thresholds. Median UIC among participants who ...

Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis

until 2011 taking into account the effect of air pollution. Methods The threshold in temperature above which mortality increases was determined using segmented regressions for both urban areas. The ...

Spatio-temporal monitoring and modelling of birch pollen levels in Belgium

 ~ 50%. The slopes of the linear correlation increased on average with ~ 60%. Finally, SILAM is able to capture the threshold of 80 pollen grains m−3 exposure from the observations. Health Topics:  ...

Analysis of mineral oil in food: An analytical challenge

overview of the results of the market survey will be presented. Afterwards, the results are compared to the action thresholds as proposed by the Scientific Committee of the Federal Agency for the Safety of ...

Physicochemical characterisation of several types of the E171 food additive

thresholding and constituent particle detection. The large majority of constituent particles, confirmed to be TiO2 by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), were reliably detected and measured by the ...

Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population

The detected MOSH and MOAH concentrations were then compared to the action thresholds set by the Scientific Committee (SciCom) of the Belgian Food Safety Agency (FASFC) in 2017. Only one sample exceeded ...

Exposure of workers to pesticide residues during re-entry activities: A review

threshold values, and calculation methodology. Methods assessing the risk to workers health are also reported and discussed. The impact of re-entry activities on health and factors affecting workers exposure ...

Global burden of cancer and coronary heart disease resulting from dietary exposure to arsenic, 2015

burden, there is a threshold effect for arsenic-associated CHD with no increased risk of heart disease at the expected lower bound of arsenic consumption in food. These estimates indicate that foodborne ...

Comparison of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems for the identification of moulds in the routine microbiology laboratory.

a threshold of 1.7 (vs. 16.7% (17/102) with a threshold of 2.0, p < 0.05). The VMS performed better than the MLT with a threshold of 1.7 for species (49.0% (50/102), p 0.33) and complex level identifications ...
