Home-grown produce

Usage data have provided the foundation for the development of residue monitoring suites for a wide range of home-grown produce within the UK to monitor... 

For the commercial/industrial scenario, EPA used an 8-hour on-site workday, both indoors and outdoors. In general, exposures to on-site workers were less than those for residents of rural areas, because worker exposures are limited to working hours and do not include contributions from ingestion of home-grown produce or locally caught fish. 

A number of home-grown and commercially produced mounting devices exist, which allow manipulations of sensitive crystals under a stream of dry, possibly cold, N2 gas, or even their transportation in a small Dewar vessel with liquid N2 and direct transfer into the cold stream of the diffractometer cryostat. 

According to the modem version of the prebiotic soup theory for the origin of life (3) organic compounds derived from home grown chemical synthetic reactions directly on the Earth and the infall of organic rich material from space accumulated in the primordial oceans. These compounds then underwent further reactions in the primal broth producing ones with increasing molecular complexity. Some of these reactions took place at interfaces of mineral deposits... 

Box SCheineS Boxes of freshly grovm seasonal vegetables and fruit that are sent directly to your home from the farmer or supplier. Most schemes in operation use locally grown produce from small farms, where the emphasis is on flavor and quality. 

Such studies should be very precise. Products should preferably be grown or raised on experimental farms where production conditions can be controlled (Harker 2004), particularly when several combinations or options within a production system are tested. Another useful approach is the paired comparison of similar, neighbouring farms producing the same cultivar or breed under the two different production regimes. Studies need to include some assessment of the product to be consumed, including (if relevant) the preparation taking place in the home. 

The Union army obtained 29,828 oz (846 kg) of morphine sulfate. And when Confederates realized that a blockade of their ports could part them from sources of opium, they tried getting Southern women to cultivate and produce opium from garden-grown poppies. On both sides, discharged soldiers went home as addicts after the hostilities ceased. 

Cotton (Figure 1.1) is the most important natural textile fiber, as well as cellulosic textile fiber, in the world, used to produce apparel, home furnishings, and industrial products. Worldwide about 40% of the fiber consumed in 2004 was cotton [1]. (See also Table 9.1 World Production of Textile Fibers on page 130.) Cotton is grown mostly for fiber but it is also a food crop (cottonseed)—the major end uses for cottonseeds are vegetable oil for human consumption whole seed, meal, and hulls for animal feed and linters for batting and chemical cellulose. 

Applied to cotton grown in 28 different countries, endosulfan is perhaps the most widely used cotton pesticide after deltamethrin it is applied to cotton in 9 of the top 10 cotton producing countries and is the dominant pesticide in the cotton sector in 19 countries . A recent report suggests that endosulfan may be the most important source of fatal poisoning among cotton farmers in West Africa . In India, home to the world s largest cotton farming community, over...
