In the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency resulting in an atmospheric release of radioactive materials, stationary gamma-measurements, for example obtained from distributed, automatic monitoring stations, may provide a first assessment of exposures resulting from airborne and deposited activity. Decisions on the introduction of countermeasures for the protection of the public can be b...

We report here the draft genome sequences of eight Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated during three large food poisoning outbreaks in the Russian Federation. The strains were collected from clinical specimens and various foodstuff samples.

an official enquiry prompted by a commercial firm in order to know whether a limited amount of hydrogen peroxide can be used in preservation of milk for 48 hours longer than raw milk under ordinary condition. Under the Public Health Regulation now in force in the U.K. or India hydrogen peroxide has been classed as a nonpermitted preservative in foodstuffs. Although any kmd of preservative in a ...

background: knowledge of radioactivity levels in human diet is of particular concern for the estimation of possible radiological hazards to human health. however, very few surveys of radioactivity in food have been conducted in iran therefore the baseline values of the natural radionuclides concentration (40k, 226ra and 232th), and man made radionuclide, 137cs, were determined in twenty six sam...

A simple and homogeneous green liquid–liquid microextraction based on temperature-controlled ionic liquid (IL) process was developed for the selective extraction spectrophotometric analysis of zinc (II) ethylenebis (dithiocarbamate) (zineb) from different foodstuff samples including rice, wheat, corn, oat, cabbage, potato, tomato grain. The effect various parameters like pH, IL dose, temperatur...
