Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
assessment [1,2]. Currently, hazard and risk assessment still heavily relies on conventional animal testing. Use of new approach methodologies (NAM s) can fill certain data gaps and complement the available safety ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
substrate, and growth conditions. This review compiles the available knowledge on hazard identification and characterization of Alternaria toxins. Alternariol (AOH), its monomethylether AME and the perylene ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
hazard identification IATAs NAMs nanocellulose nanospecific assessment Abstract: Nanocellulose (NC) is an emerging material in the food sector with several prospective application areas. Three main types ...
Regulatory safety assessment of nanoparticles for the food chain in Europe
well as approaches for dietary exposure assessment are outlined. Where there is the likelihood of small particles remaining after gastrointestinal digestion, hazard identification and hazard ...

Pesticide Use in Market Gardening and Perceived Risk of Consumers Exposed to Pesticide Residues
gardening to improve productivity and pest control. Pesticide residues could be persistent in vegetables and generate a potential health hazard for consumers. This study has been carried out in Tunisia to ...
Sensitivity of candling as routine method for the detection and recovery of ascaridoids in commercial fish fillets.
1 (2022) Keywords: Animals Anisakis Fish Diseases Fishes Food Parasitology seafood Abstract: Ascaridoids are one of the main parasitic hazards in commercial fish. Candling is the current industrial screening ...
Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide
8, Issue 2 (2021) Abstract: Since the evaluation of nanomaterial (NM) hazards by animal testing is expensive, time-consuming and critical from an ethical point of view, much interest is being given to ...
Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
worst case scenario for rice, indicating that rice consumption could contain a potential health hazard for young children. For OTA, a potential health risk was detected in several food categories ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
hazard-related information. Based on the margin of exposure (MOE) approach, there is no health concern related to MOSH exposure for the Belgian population. For MOAH, which may be potentially genotoxic and ...
