Chemical Contaminants in Office Buildings
AIHAJ, 1990Building occupants are increasingly concerned about the presence of chemicals in indoor air, their contribution to “tight-building syndrome,” and their effects on health. Chemical measurements were made in 17 buildings in Quebec to determine contaminant sources and airborne concentrations and to establish their interrelation.

On-farm contamination of animals with chemical contaminants.
Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 2006Food products should not contain unsafe levels of chemical contaminants. However, it is not possible to monitor each and every one of the many thousands of chemicals that are used in our advanced societies. Chemical contaminants in foodstuffs of animal origin may be classified into three categories: natural contaminants (e.g. mycotoxins), environmental

Three categories of environmental contaminants generally occur in food: natural and synthetic organic compounds, traces of heavy metal, and certain natural and synthetic radioactive substances (51, 69). This chapter summarizes the sources, occurrence, extent of exposure, and regulation of selected substances belonging to the first two categories, i.e.,

Contamination from skin-painting test chemicals
Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, 1979Abstract Anthracene, a non-carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, dissolved in acetone was painted on the clipped dorsal skin of mice in a laminar flow hood. Samples were taken over a 17-day period to estimate worker exposures to, and environmental contamination from, the chemicals used.

In Western societies today, the issue of food consumption has evolved from a relatively short chain of trading between producer and consumer to a complex chain of different parties. Today, food consumption includes large-scale production, time-efficient handling, transport, and packaging of food.

Chemical food contaminants are substances which are neither present naturally in the usual raw material used for food production nor are added during the regular production process. Examples are environmental pollutants or contaminants derived from agricultural production of crops or livestock or from inadequate manufacturing of the food product itself.

Physical and Chemical Contamination
1991The sanitary production of foods as outlined in the federal code for good manufacturing practice includes restrictions that prevent contamination by physical or nonliving objects or chemicals. The physical objects range from dust particles to hammers, and the chemicals range from toxic lubricants to juices of another variety.

Embryotoxicity of chemical contaminants of foods
Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, 1971Abstract A brief review of a variety of contaminants that may occur in foodstuffs indicates that in the majority of cases embryotoxicity or teratogenicity are toxic hazards unlikely to arise in practice as a result of such contamination. The major possible exception is mercury especially methylmercury, on which further data are being obtained ...
