Sentence examples for contamination thresholds from inspiring English sources

Current contamination thresholds [12, 13] represent a political trade-off and are unable to avoid naturalisation of weedy GE-populations established through seed loss during transportation.

Piccini et al. (2012) illustrated an application of indicator kriging for mapping the probability of exceeding nitrate contamination thresholds in Central Italy.

We conclude that contamination thresholds are likely to be biologically insufficient to prevent environmental contamination and bear the potential to legally allow genetic pollution of the environment defeating the real purpose of the legislation, with consequences that are difficult to foresee.

Our results suggests that carefully adapted monitoring designs may be set in order to detect introduction events that can lead to rapid establishment and growing populations as the accepted contamination thresholds are likely to be biologically insufficient to prevent further environmental contamination.

In the UK, soil contamination thresholds triggering closure or remediation of allotment and garden sites are based on precautionary principles, generating 'scares' that may negatively impact public health disproportionately to the actual health risks of exposure to toxins through own-grown food.

Various guidelines, including those in Italy, recommend disinfection at this contamination threshold, even in absence of cases of disease [ 6].

However, a nonlinear dependence (e.g. an upper contamination threshold) could change the sensitivity to flock size and the impact of transmission mode assumptions.

These two clones reside near each other in a 96-well plate, indicating that cross-contamination may have occurred during fingerprinting process (inoculation or transfer) and probably resulted in two shared fingerprint profiles just below the predefined contamination threshold.

Studies included thermal cycling sensitivity, reproducibility, precision, sensitivity of detection, minimum detection threshold, system contamination, stochastic threshold and concordance.

As it is true for virtually all forms of contamination, the threshold values of pollution from coal mining activities are those whose concentrations are capable of causing harmful effects on previously unaffected water uses (Utom et al. 2012).

When we could not estimate cross-contamination levels because of low sequencing depth of coverage (for nuclear genome), a conservative criterion (10% contamination level threshold) was explicitly used.
