The present study suggests initiating measures to minimize human exposure to FRs in the future.
Among other things, it recommended mandatory setbacks around oil wells to minimize human exposure to toxins.
Overall, our findings add to the evidence that low-dose exposure to iAs causes cancer and support current recommendations to minimize human exposure even at relatively low concentrations.
Meanwhile, the current evidence on stunting, combined with well-documented risks for liver cancer and aflatoxicosis, justify global efforts to minimize human exposure, she says.
The persistence of cadmium in the environment requires a long-term approach to minimize human exposure through environmental management and maintenance of lower cadmium levels wherever possible.
Recognizing the potential for fishery products to be a vehicle for large outbreaks of listeriosis, it is prudent to seek appropriate strategies to minimize human exposure to infectious doses of the organism.
In these cases, the convention requires parties to notify the convention secretariat of their intention to produce and/ or use DDT for vector control and to prevent or minimize human exposure and release into the environment.
This remains true despite recent measures taken to reduce environmental lead contamination and to minimize human exposure to lead that have lowered the concentrations of this metal in foods and human populations (Egan 2002; Pirkle et al. 1998; Thomas et al. 1999; von Storch et al. 2003).
It is noteworthy that none of the 162 UK patients with vCJD identified up to September 2006 were born after 1989, the year in which the specified bovine offal ban was introduced to minimize human exposure to BSE; however, 2 of the 34 non-UK vCJD case-patients were born after 1989.
Administrative and engineering controls, as well as instrument automation and quality control measures, were utilized to minimize potential human exposure to radiation at all times and at all stages of analysis, from receiving through disposition.
