Food contamination is one of the major problems in food distribution. Microorganisms and their metabolites are the most common food contaminants. This review consolidates the reported food contamination cases in the Republic of Serbia. Mycotoxins were stated as the most common contaminants in various foods. Among them mycotoxins like zearalenone, aflatoxins, fumonisins, and deoxynivalenol were the most frequently detected. Also, the contamination caused by the presence of various microorganisms like L. monocytogenes, E. coli, Salmonella spp. and S. aureus was reported in high frequency. The microbial contamination was usually detected in meat and dairy products. Although heavy metals were detected in some products, in most cases their concentrations were in accordance with the legislation. A higher level of Pb and Hg was stated only in a few samples of tea, milk and fish. The constant analysis, control and prevention are needed at all levels of the production in order to compile the safety requirements and international legislation.

Riesgos en la salud de agricultores por uso y manejo de plaguicidas, microcuencaLa PilaHealth risks of farmers for using and handling pesticides in the watershed "La Pila"Cristian Alexander Jiménez-Quintero 1 , Andrés Pantoja-Estrada 2 , Hugo Ferney Leonel 3* ResumenIntroducción: El corregimiento de Cabrera del municipio de Pasto, fundamenta su economía en el sector agropecuario, actividad que demanda el uso y manejo de variados productos químicos cuyo empleo conlleva riesgos para la salud. Objetivo: Identificar los principales riesgos a los cuales están expuestos los campesinos agricultores de la microcuenca La Pila , municipio de Pasto, por el uso y manejo inadecuado de plaguicidas en sus labores de producción. Materiales y métodos: Se comparó los resultados obtenidos en la simulación de la dispersión de plaguicidas a través del Software HYSPLIT libre y la evaluación de los riesgos por contacto inmediato identificados a través de criterios establecidos en la GTC45 de ICONTEC. Resultados: Se pudo determinar que el factor de riesgo al cual se encuentran sometidos los agricultores de la zona es de tipo químico; que la dispersión de dichos contaminantes alcanza una longitud máxima de dispersión de 250 m y que a pesar que los trabajadores conocen de la importancia de la implementación de Elementos de Protección Personal no los utilizan como barreras para atenuar e impedir la materialización de los peligros. Conclusiones: Los riesgos identificados son más latentes en los agricultores de la zona media y baja de la microcuenca.Palabras clave: Factores de riesgo; mapa de riesgo; plaguicidas; impactos en la salud.

AbstractIntroduction: The village of Cabrera, in the municipality of Pasto, bases its economy on agriculture, which requires the use and handling of various chemicals that can cause health risks. Objective: To identify the main risks to which farmers are exposed for the use and improper handling of pesticides in their production work in the watershed called "La Pila" in the municipality of Pasto. Materials and Methods: The results obtained in the simulation of the dispersion of pesticides through HYSPLIT free Software and the risk assessment for immediate contact identified through established criteria in GTC45 ICONTEC were compared. Results: It was determined that the risk factor to which farmers in the area are subjected to is of chemical type; besides, the dispersion of these pollutants reaches a maximum length of dispersion of 250 m-However, despite the fact that workers are aware of the importance of the Universidad y Salud

The toxicity of the mixture of neem and moringa seed oils in the ratio of 1:3 was evaluated based on some biomarkers of liver and kidney functions of Wistar Albino rats. Thirty male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into six groups of five rats each. Group A served as control. Groups B, C, D, E and F received doses of 100, 1000, 1600, 2900 and 5000 mg/kg body weight of ratio 1:3 neem-moringa seed oil, respectively. The albino rats were observed for any changes for seven days; during this period, they were allowed free access to food and water ad-libitum. The rats were weighed and made to fast overnight. The serum obtained was used to determine the serum level of alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Similarly, liver and kidney tissues were removed and homogenized separately in a normal saline in ratio of 1:10 w/v. The homogenate of liver was centrifuged and the supernatant was used to determine total protein and billirubine while that of kidney was used for determining creatinine and urea. The results of all the biochemical parameters tested did not show any significant difference (P>0.05) from the control up to the dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight and did not produce any visible toxic effect. The dosage of 1:3 mixtures of neem-moringa seed oils appeared to be safe for humans.
