爱尔兰农业学论文代写:食品中的砷污染

沃尔夫·布利泽)因此,在食品产品中砷污染严重的情况下,我们面临着什么样的健康问题,尤其是大米产品和其他以大米为核心的产品?

(考夫林博士)在我们的食品、有机和无机中发现了两种天然的砷元素。虽然有机砷对我们无害,但无机砷是一种致癌物。然而,每个人都应该知道,暴露于砷是不可避免的,因为这两种类型的痕迹砷存在于空气、土壤、水和没有限制有机砷暴露定义为我们没有看到任何健康危害引起的有机砷暴露(美国权威杂志《消费者报告》)。

(Wolf Blitzer)库克先生,我想询问您对食品中砷污染的报道,特别是婴幼儿配方奶粉的反应。你对FDA采取的安全和质量保证措施有何看法?你真的认为我们需要改变我们的饮食习惯吗?或者我们应该要求FDA或美国稻米联合会更严格的监督?

(库克)老实说,我并不惊讶地看到关于污染的报告因为类似研究进行1990年代实在过去和我的意思是,,特别集中在大米中砷浓度,但媒体和消费者似乎激怒了砷被发现在婴儿食品大米产品形式的核心基地。然而,美国大米联合会(rice federation)和美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)声称,对大米生产商的监控已经收紧(美国大米联合会),可能不会让消费者的担忧得到休息。此外,普通人如何知道砷含量是否真的被检查过,因为FDA的规定需要一段时间才能得到实施,而对这种污染的了解并不是新发现的事实。强迫人们改变他们的饮食习惯是相当荒谬的。

(Wolf Blitzer)So, Dr. Coughlin what kinds of health concerns are we faced with, in the wake of high levels of arsenic contamination in food products, especially rice products and other products with rice as the core base?

(Dr. Coughlin)There are two types of arsenic elements found naturally in our food items, organic and inorganic. While the organic arsenic does not harm us fatally, inorganic arsenic is a carcinogen. However, one should know that exposure to arsenic is unavoidable because traces of both types of arsenic are found in air, soil and water and there is no defined limit for exposure to organic arsenic as we have not witnessed any health hazards arising out of organic arsenic exposure(Consumer Reports Magazine).

(Wolf Blitzer) Mr. Cook I wish to enquire about your reaction to the reports of arsenic contamination in food especially in infant formula and more. What would you say about the safety and quality assurance measures being taken up by the FDA? Do you really think that we need to change our food habits or should we demand stricter surveillance by the FDA or the US Rice Federation?

(Mr. Cook) Honestly, I was not shocked to see reports about the contamination because similar researches have been carried outin the past and I mean the 1990s, that had specifically focused on arsenic concentration in rice but the media and consumers seem enraged over the arsenic being found in infant food where rice forms the core base product. However claims by the US rice federation and FDA that the surveillance on rice producers has toughened (US Rice Federation) may not put the consumers’ apprehensions to rest. Moreover, how would the common man know whether the arsenic content has actually been checked because the FDA regulations would take some time to be implemented and the knowledge of such contamination is not a newfound fact. It would be rather absurd to force people to change their food habits.
