Article Synopsis
- There are programs to keep an eye on harmful chemicals in animal food, run by both government and private groups.
- This review aimed to decide which chemicals are most important to monitor based on their past presence in animal feed and how they affect both animals and humans.
- Chemicals were rated for monitoring priority as high, medium, low, or not classified, and results showed that some chemicals like dioxins and heavy metals are very important to check regularly.
The occurrence of tropane alkaloids (TAs), toxic plant metabolites, in food in Europe was studied to identify those TAs in food most relevant for human health. Information was extracted from the literature and the 2016 study from the European Food Safety Authority. Calystegines were identified as being inherent TAs in foods common in Europe, such as (potato), (eggplant, aubergine), (bell pepper) and (broccoli, Brussels sprouts).

December 1985
A study was carried out in a nylon producing plant to determine exposure to Dowtherm A from frequently occurring leaks in the heating system. The daily exposure to both diphenyl and diphenylether of 20 workers was determined over seven consecutive days. Urine samples before and after the daily eight-hour workshift were obtained and analysed spectrofluorimetrically on hydroxydiphenyl.
