The World Health Organization recommends setting the upper limit of cadmium uptake as 1 pg/day, however in some regions this value is exceeded due to both natural background and environmental pollution.

Health Canada, and the World Health Organization (1997 Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada, Health Canada, 2005 World Health Organization, 2001). Health organizations recommend that breastfeeding be continued while the infant consumes complementary foods during the first year of life as desired by mother and child (1997 Canadian Paediatric Society et al., 2005 World Health Organization, 2001). 

The most common use of salt is as part of daily diets. Although it is added directly to food, 75% of the salt consumed in the United States is a result of eating processed foods The National Academy of Sciences has determined that a minimum daily requirement of 500 mg of sodium is safe, which equates to 1,300 mg of salt. The Academy and the federal government recommend that sodium consumption be no more than 2,400 mg per day, which equals 6,100 mg of salt. Most Americans consume levels higher than this, and many health organizations recommend decreasing salt intake. Excess salt can lead to health problems such as elevated blood pressure, although recent research seems to indicate that normal or moderately... 

The innate system is of special importance during early infancy. Prior to birth and for at least 4-12 months after birth a child s immune system is poorly developed. It may not become fully competent until age 5.34 35 During the prenatal period maternal antibodies are transferred to the child. IgG crosses the placenta and enters the fetal circulation. Breast milk provides IgA, which remains largely in the child s gut, as well as other protective proteins. UNICEF and the World Health Organization recommend breast-feeding to two years or beyond 34... 

The World Health Organization recommends that the total concentration of PAHs in drinking water should not exceed 10ngL 1. The ozonation of the above two PAHs, plus benzo[ ]pyrene, in water solution was examined experimentally as a function of pH and concentration of radical scavenger (tert-butanol). Acidic pH values accelerate the disappearance of the PAHs. At pH 2, the direct ozonolysis rates were approximately 33000M-1 s-1 for benzopyrene, 11 000 M-1 s 1 for chrysene, and 45 M 1 s 1 for fluorene <2004MI453>.

Leprosy (Hansen s disease) is caused by M- leprae. Bacilli from skin lesions or nasal discharges of infected patients enter susceptible individuals via the skin or respiratory tract. The World Health Organization recommends the triple drug regimen, dapsone, clofazimine, and rifampin (see p. 333) for 6 to 24 months.

Although rarely encountered in developed countries, vitamin A deficiency remains a global public health problem. The current World Health Organization recommendation for vitamin A treatment in children 1 year of age and older who are at risk (see Table 17-3) is one 200,000 lU oral dose every 3 to 6 months for prophylaxis, and three such doses for treatment and prevention of xerophthalmia. Animal studies (rat model) have shown some improvement in corneal epithelial fimction with topical vitamin A supplementation. In human trials, evidence is contradictory regarding the beneficial role of topical vitamin A application. The apparent mechanism is reduction of inflammatory components.

The World Health Organization recommends that drug dependence be specified by type when under detailed discussion. 

It s no coincidence that you ve likely seen several health messages from respected groups such as the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Heart Association, and various government or other health organizations recommending that you eat five to ten servings of colorful fruits and vegetables daily. On this subject, four operative terms need to be understood ... 

Although potassium iodide does not protect the thyroid from external radiation, patients suffering from internal radioiodine contamination should receive potassium iodide to prevent or reduce thyroid uptake. To be effective, patients must receive the potassium iodide within a few hours after exposure (5,11). Compared to adults, children are more susceptible to the effects of radioiodine. Consequently, the Federal Drug Administration (15) and World Health Organization recommendations for administration of potassium iodide differ for children and adults. Table 4.6 contains the FDA recommendations for potassium iodide administration.
