Das Monitoring ist ein gemeinsam von Bund und Landern durchgefuhrtes Untersuchungsprogramm, das die amtliche Uberwachung der Bundeslander erganzt. Wahrend die Uberwachung uber hauptsachlich verdachts- und risikoorientierte Untersuchungen die Einhaltung rechtlicher Vorschriften kontrolliert, ist das Monitoring ein System wiederholter reprasentativer Messungen und Bewertungen von Gehalten an bestimmten unerwunschten Stoffen in den auf dem deutschen Markt befindlichen Erzeugnissen.Dadurch konnen mogliche gesundheitliche Risiken fur die Verbraucher fruhzeitig erkannt und durch gezielte...

Drying of solids is one of the most common, complex, and energy-intensive industrial processes. Conventional dryers offer limited opportunities to increase energy efficiency. Heat pump dryers are more energy and cost effective, as they can recycle drying thermal energy and reduce CO2, particulate, and VOC emissions due to drying. This book provides an introduction to the technology and current best practices and aims to increase the successful industrial implementation of heat pump- assisted dryers. It enables the reader to engage confidently with the technology and provides a wealth of...

Stored products of agriculture and animal origin are attacked by more than 600 species of beetles, 70 species of moths, and about 355 species of mites, causing huge quantitative and qualitative losses and insect contamination in food commodities. This is an important quality control problem. This book, Insect Pests of Stored Grain: Biology, Behavior, and Management Strategies, provides comprehensive coverage of stored product entomology for the sustainable management of insects and other noninsect pests, such as mites, birds, rodents, and fungi, with the aim to mitigate and...

Die Anwendung von antibakteriell wirksamen Substanzen in der Veterinarmedizin erfolgt zum einen aus Grunden des Verbraucherschutzes, zum anderen zur Erhaltung der Tiergesundheit. Gleichzeitig fuhrt jeder Einsatz von Antibiotika zur Selektion von bereits bestehenden Resistenzen, auch wird das Entstehen neuer Resistenzmechanismen begunstigt.

Aus diesen Grunden mussen nachhaltig wirksame Managementmanahmen ergriffen werden, um den Eintrag von resistenten Bakterien insbesondere durch Lebensmittel liefernde Tiere in die menschliche Nahrungskette moglichst gering zu halten bzw. zu...
