Shellfish and residual chemical contaminants: hazards, monitoring, and health risk assessment along French coasts.
In this review, we address the identification of residual chemical hazards in shellfish collected from the marine environment or in marketed shellfish. Data, assembled on the concentration of contaminants detected, were compared with the appropriate regulatory and food safety standards. Moreover, data on human exposure and body burden levels were evaluated in the context of potential health ris...
متن کاملChemical contamination of water supplies.
Man-made organic chemicals have been found in drinking water for many years. Their numbers and varieties increase as our analytical capabilities improve. The identified chemicals comprise 10 to 20% of the total organic matter present. These are volatile or low molecular weight compounds which are easily identified. Many of them are carcinogenic or mutagenic. Chlorinated compounds have been foun...
متن کاملPrimary prevention of chemical contamination.
The current approach to addressing health and ecosystem risks from biosolids, or sludge, requires identification of so-called "safe" or "acceptable" levels of exposure and installation of controls to achieve such levels. This end-of-the pipe approach is inconsistent with the public health concept of primary prevention. Following an overview of the limitations in current approaches to understand...
متن کاملNorovirus contamination on French marketed oysters.
Contaminated shellfish have been implicated in gastroenteritis outbreaks in different countries. As no regulation has been set up yet regarding viral contamination of food, very few data are available on the prevalence of contaminated products on the market. This study presents data obtained from oysters collected on the French market in one producing area over a 16 month period of time. Norovi...
متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Topsoil of Northern Coasts of Persian Gulf
Persian Gulf and its coastal areas are the world's largest source of crude oil and related industries govern the region. One of the contaminants in this area is heavy metals associated with oil spill. More importantly, vanadium, nickel and zinc can be named in this regard. In this study, the contamination of northern coasts of Persian Gulf is selected to investigate for trace metals of V, Ni, C...
