Health aspects

It has also been suggested that increased olive oil consumption helps prevent the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, and reduces its severity (Linos et aL, 1991). 

The importance of monounsaturated fats has been recognized only in recent years not so long ago they were completely overlooked with regard to blood cholesterol levels in favour of polyunsaturated fats (Mottram, 1979, pp. 52-3). 

Murphy (1995, p. 302) notes that over the next decade and beyond, we face the prospect of being able to engineer most major oil crops to produce the fatty acid composition of our choice . So, if monounsaturates in olive oils were the only reason for the health benefits claimed, this selling point might not have much of a future. 

The necessity to be able to detect adulterations in oils in general was highlighted in May 1981, when 20000 people became ill and 350 died in Spain after consuming oils containing refined aniline denatured rapeseed oil (Aldridge, 1992). 

One problem faced today is that, as detection methods become more sophisticated so too do the methods of the adulterators. Some methods, which rely on the detection of compounds which do not appear in the genuine product, are useless if the adulterator knows the technique and therefore removes the offending compound (Aparicio, Alonso and Morales, 1996).

Considerable concern has been raised over the carcinogenic potential of 2,4-D. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated the environmental health aspects of this chemical and concluded that 2,4-D posed an insignificant threat to the environment. They did indicate, however, that... 

Medical Programs. Large chemical plants have at least one hill-time physician who is at the plant five days a week and on call at all other times. Smaller plants either have part-time physicians or take injured employees to a nearby hospital or clinic by arrangement with the company compensation-insurance carrier. When part-time physicians or outside medical services are used, there is Httle opportunity for medical personnel to become familiar with plant operations or to assist in improving the health aspects of plant work. Therefore, it is essential that chemical-ha2ards manuals and procedures, which highlight symptoms and methods of treatment, be developed. A hill-time industrial physician should devote a substantial amount of time to becoming familiar with the plant, its processes, and the materials employed. Such education enables the physician to be better prepared to treat injuries and illnesses and to advise on preventive measures.

Health Factors. Dextrose products are substances that are presumed to be GRAS by the FDA (21). A study of the health aspects of dextrose, fmctose, and com symps has indicated that these sweeteners are not hazardous at levels of normal human consumption with the exception of a small contribution to the formation of dental caries (22). 

Analysis, Specifications, and Health Factors. Methods of analysis and health aspects are the same as those for dextrose. Specifications for HES are the same as those for com symp. HES is presumed to be GRAS by the EDA (50). Health effects of fmctose are discussed elsewhere (51). 

A thorough review of the health aspects of talc was presented ia an EDA-sponsored seminar ia Bethesda, Maryland, ia January 1994 (9). The executive summary states that the probabiUty of human risk is likely nonexistent under customary conditions of use. Used for decades ia a wide variety of cosmetic and other appHcations, talc has proven to be among the safest of all consumer products.

Ozone has proven to be effeetive against viruses. Franee has adopted a standard for the use of ozone to inaetivate viruses. When an ozone residual of 0.4 mg/I ean be measured 4 minutes after the initial ozone demand has been met, viral inaetivation is satisfied. This property plus ozone s freedom from residual formation are important eonsiderations in the publie health aspects of ozonation. When ozonation is eombined with aetivated earbon filtration, a high degree of organie removal ean be aehieved. Coneerning the toxieity of oxidation produets of ozone and the removal of speeifie eompounds via ozonation, available evidenee does not indieate any major health hazards assoeiated with the use of ozone in wastewater treatment.

Because the quality and health aspects of foods cannot be measured by a single index, it necessarily follows that the subject of control methods in the canned food industry is very broad, and includes chemical, physical, organoleptic, and bacteriological tests, only the first of which is discussed here. The measurement of color, odor, optical clarity, texture, viscosity, and chemical composition has been used to evaluate canned foods, but in many cases the methods that are applicable to one product are either not applicable to another, or can be used only after considerable modification. 

All subsequent, novel organic chemistries and applications are simply competitive attempts to supplant hydrazine by demonstrating improved reaction rates, better health aspects, no corrosive ammonia decomposition products, and other benefits. Some of these novel organics may offer real benefits over hydrazine, but all at a higher application cost.

The cross-dimerization reaction is very commonly employed for the manufacture of intermediates for synthetic musks, which have become an important class of perfumery chemicals. Synthetic musks have been the target of extensive research over the years due to a conservation order placed on the musk deer. Nitro musks are being steadily replaced by non-nitro polycyclic musks becau.se of technical drawbacks and health aspects of the former, which are explosive, sensitive, and virtually nonbiodegradable. Non-nitro musks, on the other hand exhibit better stability to light and alkali, and more nearly duplicate the odour of the macrocyclic musks occurring in nature. Indian musk odorants are easily soluble in alcohol and perfume compositions. They have the added advantage of non-discoloration in soap and domestic products. In view of the low price, their future in the perfume industry appears very promising.

Plants are detrimental in many ways to the health and well-being of man. It is difficult to quantify the health aspects of weeds. Weeds known to produce allergenic reactions in humans can be divided into two major groups. One group produces skin eruption as a result of bodily contact with the plant, while the other produces symptoms usually affecting the respiratory tract through inhalation of pollen grains.

Accumulate and Evaluate New Information. The compilation and appraisal of new information bearing on the health aspects of pesticides will be undertaken by the committee. In this phase of its work it will keep in close contact with state and government health services in an effort to establish comprehensive records of poisonings and the circumstances of their occurrence it will suggest means to avoid recurrence. The assembled information will be available to all who have a use for such data. 

This first number is a perfect illustration of the desirability of establishing a special medium for the publication of certain symposia presented at American Chemical Society meetings. Only a relatively small percentage of the papers can be said to be strictly chemical in nature. Many deal with such subjects as the toxicological effects of economic poisons, public health aspects, etc. Only through the establishment of the Advances in Chemistry Series was it possible to present the symposia in their entirety.
