The occurrence of pesticides intended for non-agricultural use was investigated in 206 dust samples drawn from vacuum-cleaner bags residential flats Italy. multi-residue analysis targeted on 95 different active principles performed with UPLC-MS/MS, a Limit Quantification (LOQ) 0.008 μg/g dry weight. results indicated the presence imidacloprid (IMI) and carbendazim (CARB) 30% 26% samples, mean P95 concentration between 1.6 39 0.08 4.9 μg/g, respectively. Combined two biocides noted 19.4%...
The presence of the insecticide Fipronil and its main products toxicological relevance, namely Sulfone Desulfinyl, was assessed in 161 residential house dust samples absence (N = 101) 60) cats dogs Italy. High-resolution mass spectrometry analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.001) contamination pets (median: 467 vs. 24 ng/g dry weight), even if highest value found (82,069 67,799 weight). intake estimates from toddlers, computed according to US-EPA EU-ECHA guidelines, ranged 333...
5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde, better known as hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), is a well-known freshness parameter of honey: although mostly absent in fresh samples, its concentration tends to increase naturally with aging. However, high quantities HMF are also found but adulterated samples or honey subjected thermal photochemical stresses. In addition, deserves further consideration due potential toxic effects on human health. The processes at the origin formation and other foods,...
The presence of unauthorized substances, such as residues veterinary medicines or chemical contaminants, in food can represent a possible health concern. For this reason, complete legislative framework has been established the European Union (EU), which defines maximum limits allowed and carries out surveillance programs to control these substances. Official laboratories, order ensure high level consumer protection, must respond challenge improving harmonizing performance analytical methods...
Ultraprocessed foods represent a severe concern to human health due their direct link with metabolic diseases. Among these foods, mechanically separated meat‐based products are of particular interest the use preservatives and possible presence antibiotic residues free or bound animals’ bone fragments. To demonstrate potential harmfulness substances, 28 samples commercially available würstels different suppliers, price category, package size, produced chicken turkey meat were randomly...
An LC–Orbitrap–HRMS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of four tetracyclines—oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), doxycycline (DC), chlortetracycline (CTC)—in milk. This involves sample extraction with McIlvaine–EDTA buffer solution (pH 4) solid-phase (SPE) Oasis HLB cartridges, followed by evaporation extract its reconstitution a 14% methanol aqueous before injection into instrumental system. has been in terms linearity, sensitivity, selectivity,...
A total of 30 samples Atlantic bluefin tuna were analysed for mercury concentration. Relationships between content and age, Fulton’s condition index (K) fat statistically evaluated. The effect muscle status (raw, pre-canning, canned) on was also investigated. average was: 1.185 ± 0.662 mg/kg in raw, 1.481 0.893 pre-canning 1.393 0.882 canned samples, respectively. Canning promotes a significant increase the concentration mercury. weight fish, K are useful tools to estimate accumulation tuna....
