“…To evaluate the connections between AA and DHA content and genotoxicity, at each stage of the fractionation process, recycled-paperboard solutions were dissolved in DMSO after the nitrogen stream made them dry. DMSO was used to disperse AA and DHA (Souton et al, 2018;Vandermarken et al, 2019). 10 g of recycled paperboard was refluxed with 200 mL ethanol for 2 hours when put in a flask and after being cut into 11 cm pieces.…”

Many difficulties relating to food safety have been solved thanks to the employment of strong mass spectrometric detectors in conjunction with liquid chromatography. In this study, samples were fractionated using gel permeation chromatography and liquid/liquid extraction, and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry were used to detect possible genotoxicant(s) in recycled paperboard. As a genotoxicity indicator, the rec-assay was utilized. Abietic acid (AA) and dehydroabietic acid (DHA) and were discovered in the recycled paperboard to be genotoxic. AA and DHA were found in 2 of 5 virgin products and all seven recycled food-contact products. AA and DHA total levels in virgin goods were 990 and 240 mg/g, respectively, whereas recycled products had 200990 mg/g. The total quantity of AA and DHA content in DNA-damaging activity and paper products were shown to have a strong connection. Furthermore, genotoxic effects in paper products matched standard chemicals well, showing that AA and DHA were primarily responsible for the genotoxic effects of these paper products.

“…Пищевые отходы также связаны с выделением вредных газообразных выбросов и летучих органических соединений (Cerda et al, 2018). Картон, используемый в качестве упаковки, содержит вредные химические вещества, которые могут вызывать негативные последствия для здоровья даже при очень низких дозах (Vandermarken et al, 2019). При этом в нашем исследовании только несколько человек указали на опасность таких отходов, как картон (2 человека, 3 %).…”

Problems of developing the ecological consciousness of modern schoolchildren

The article considers the issues of ecological education of schoolchildren, in particular, the development of environmental awareness and environmental competence. An analysis of theoretical and applied research led the authors to conclude that the concept of environmental consciousness and the environmental competence developed on the basis of that competence are incomplete. It lacks an element that reflects the safety of the subject of environmental activity. Foreign concepts of ecological consciousness are critically evaluated, including as a necessary element of such consciousness a “guilt complex” for former non-ecological behavior. The paper demonstrates the harm of such concepts to the psychological health of the student. It shows empirically that the problem of the safety of environmental actors is especially relevant for schoolchildren. Lacking sufficient environmental competence in the field of hygiene and hazard assessment of household waste, survey data shows that they are unprotected in environmental terms. The paper concludes that modern environmental education programs should include, as a necessary element, provisions on reasonable prohibitions on environmental activities. Sections on teaching safe behavior when participating in environmental activities should also be included in environmental education programs for schoolchildren.

“…Therefore, the potential presence of contaminants in the recycled packaging exists. Such contaminants may migrate into food, thus resulting in risks to consumers [3][4][5][6][7] . The safety of recycled cellulose materials for use in food contact packaging depends on the toxicity and the ability of post-consumer contaminants to be absorbed by recycled fibers, then released by the packaging and ultimately absorbed by the food.…”

Migration of phthalates and 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene from cellulose food packaging

et al. 2021

Recycling systems are unable to remove efficiently all potential contaminants acquired along the recycling chain. Therefore, contaminants may potentially exist in recycled food packaging. The safety of recycled cellulose food-contact materials depends on the toxicity and the ability of post-consumer contaminants to be absorbed by recycled fibers released by the packaging and ultimately absorbed by the food. Furthermore, the migration of different contaminants is related to their levels of contamination, structures and chemical affinity with cellulose fibers. In this study, twenty samples of cellulose packages available in the Brazilian market were evaluated regarding migration of phthalates (dibutyl phthalate -DBP, diisobutyl phthalate -DIBP and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate -DEHP) and 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene -DIPN into fatty food simulant using GC-FID. Fifty percent of the cellulose packaging samples showed no migration of DIPN or of any phthalates evaluated, whereas 20% showed migration of DIBP, 15% migration of DBP and 40% migration of DEHP.
