Malaria in the WHO European Region has gone from control to elimination thanks to the great efforts of health services in endemic countries. Locally transmitted malaria cases decreased from 90,000 late in the 20th century to 0 in 2015. Currently, there is a real threat to resurgence of malaria in the south of the European and Asian parts of the Region. Neglecting malaria prevention measures in the countries with high malariogenic potential areas where malaria elimination has been achieved may lead to consequences of imported malaria.

Antimicrobial active packaging plays a key role in food quality and safety. The addition of antimicrobial agents in packaging production aims to release these agents from film to food, thereby preventing, reducing, or eliminating the contamination caused by pathogens or food spoilage microorganisms. This review provides an overview of the antimicrobial active packaging and gives an insight of the antimicrobials that have been used to manufacture antimicrobial active films.

Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is one of the most investigated Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for being the strongest compound to eliminate and having adverse health concerns. In this work, we have conducted the sonochemical treatment of PFOS simulated water under high (500 kHz) and low (22 kHz) frequencies while monitoring the operational parameters via an integrated sonochemical system. The integrated advanced sonochemical system includes software to monitor treatment power, solution temperature and frequency while allowing distinctive control of the reaction conditions.
