Lead (Chemicals and Contaminants)
Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) conducted risk assessment of lead (hereinafter referred to as Pb) as a Self-Tasking assessment. Risk assessments of Pb were initially requested from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in relation to revision of the standards for apparatus/container and packaging (ACP) and to revision of the standards for ...

Primary Prevention of Chemical Contamination [PDF]
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.

A method for assessing chemical contamination of bottom sediments using bioassay approach
A method for assessing the degree of marine pollution (TPFchem) is developed using a bioassay approach. The index TPFbio is calculated as the average coordinate of the optima of response curves (along the TPFchem gradient) known for the taxa of ...

Chemical Contamination of Water Supplies [PDF]
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.
