The First National Nutrition Survey in 1960 was supported by the Interdepartmental Committee on Nutrition for National Defense (ICNND) from the US government. The survey found that the cause of IDD in Thailand was due to insufficient iodine intake (ICNND, 1962). There was a low amount of iodine in the water and soil, which in turn led to a low quantity of iodine in the food produced in these areas. In order to increase iodine intake, a salt iodi-zation program was recommended to the Thai government (Figure 126.2).

At present, niacin status is most commonly assessed by the assay of some of the breakdown products of niacin coenzymes in the urine. Of these, -methyl nicotinamide (NMN) is the easiest to measure, because of a convenient conversion in vitro to a fluorescent product, which can then be quantitated without the need for separation. However, more definitive and reliable information can be obtained by the measurement of urinary NMN in conjunction with one or more of the urinary pyridone turnover products (N -methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide and N -methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide), which can be detected and quantitated by UV absorption following high-pressure liquid chromatography. The Interdepartmental Committee on Nutrition for National Defense (USA) selected the criterion of niacin deficiency in humans as an NMN excretion rate of <5.8 tmol (0.8 mg) NMN per day in 24h urine samples. 

This committee will offer advice to the competent authority (HSE) on all aspects involving biocides. It will be composed mainly of independent members and have an independent chairman. Other Government Departments will sit on the committee acting as advisors. There will also be an interdepartmental committee which will work with the competent authority on the scientific assessments and risk assessments.

In this chapter, the committee presents findings and recommendations that run the spectrum from near-term, nontechnical initiatives, to technical and operational shortfalls, to interdepartmental, policy-level issues that can only be addressed through initiatives by the Secretary of the Navy and above. These findings and recommendations focus on three general areas ...
