BACKGROUND Assessment of the level of exposure to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) risk factors can be an appropriate basis for planning and implementing an interventional ergonomics program in the workplace. This study was conducted among workers of an Iranian sugar-producing factory to determine WMSD prevalence rate among production workers and to assess the level of exposure to...

Spent lime is a by-product of the sugar beet sugar purification process. It is generated by heating mined calcium carbon limestone to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. These two products are injected into the thick juice (from the sugar beet processing) and reforms calcium carbonate. When the calcium carbonate reforms it captures or adsorbs many of the impurities in the juice and precipita...

The Sugar Research Institute (SRI) in Australia provided the SMRI with a Sucrose Analyser for evaluation. Although the Sucrose Analyser is designed for online measurement of sucrose concentrations, this application describes the direct measurement of sucrose in factory streams in a laboratory environment. The Sucrose Analyser provides a quick and cost effective way of estimating the sucrose con...

Communities are concerned with the role of durable pesticides and their carry over effect in food chains. Accordingly, the recognition and measurement of chemical compounds in food, environment and living bodies is necessary. In this study, which dated from October 2010 to March 2011, deltamethrin toxin residues in sugar beets were investigated in the cities of Isfahan province including: Isfah...

to study the effects of sowing dates, irrigation intervals and different cultivars on sugar beet root rot disease management and its quality and quantity yields, an experiment was conducted in a split- factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the field of sugar factory jame. two irrigation intervals: eight days and 16 days were allocated in main plots, and d...

Partnerships and other forms of public participation in decision-making have become central to policy-making. The phenomenon the limitation sugar factories obtaining supplies raw sugarcane, because they do not their land or limited land, has led a partnership relationship between sugarcane farmers as solution. focus this article is visualize sub-contract partnerships smallholder sector from ini...

The only workers presently exposed to bagasse dust in Japan are the employees of sugar refineries and lacquerware factories. A follow up study of six former cases of bagassosis from among the retired employees of a paper board factory, closed since 1973, showed that none of the subjects still had bagassosis. Examinations of 70 employees of a sugar refinery for allergic reactions also showed no ...
