Better not eat apricot almonds Would be an alarm about the safety of food about apricot almond consumption, after some retailers have sold large packages full of kernels of these fruits with details that may be useful in case of tumor to treat patients for the presence of vitamin B17, but according to the European authorities this vitamin that gives to the apricot almonds the typical bitter taste turns into cyanide after being eaten. Consume ten to fifteen almonds can cause unpleasant side effects like numbness in the fingers while eating thirty might also have lethal effects; in fact, cyanide is a chemical that can cause nausea, fever, insomnia, headache, nervousness, low blood pressure, muscle pain and in extreme cases can be fatal. Half apricot almond should be the maximum amount allowed. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 16, 2016

 Dead fish in the river Hai Hai in Tianjin Some photos of a Chinese site appeared on the Internet document the fish die-off about six kilometers away from Tianjin Port along the river Hai Hai that flowing through this large industrial city, but the authorities (which provided promptly to remove the images) as often happens in cases of accidents with serious environmental consequences argue that there is no danger regard the air and water quality. No trace of cyanide would be found in the samples of the first rainfall after the explosion of a large deposit of sodium cyanide, which releases high toxicity chemicals substances and inflammable in contact with water and also for this reason the firefighters should not use water to put out the fire. If confirmed the photos of dead fish has the question of contamination of the food chain considering the long periods of time. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 21, 2015 n°: 2921 Decommissioning operations in Fukushima Continue the removal operations with remote-controlled crane of the over a thousand highly radioactive fuel rods from the pools located inside the reactor number four of the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant and at the same time the Japanese authorities are seeking an agreement with fishermen's associations respect the release of radioactive water into the sea to facilitate the process of decommmissioning by now saturated, but the fishing communities already struggling with the loss of image due to previous reports of uncontrolled spills from the atomic plant have expressed concern about the operation. Experts claim that the release of small amounts of radioactive water is a widespread practice, then there are skeptics who suggest first other maneuvers, while some voiced doubts on the staff recruited by the plant operator that was recently refinanced. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 07, 2014 n°: 2439 Storage risky for radioactive water in Fukushima The information given by the operator of the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima that the recent rains have caused the overflow of radioactive water from some storage tanks, then maybe ended up in the sea, adds to other surveys of radioactive leaks that the authorities are quick to minimize with the statement that "everything is under control", as has happened recently to a loss of a human error as very small but with water with two hundred thousand becquerels per liter of beta-emitting radioactive isotopes including strontium 90 (considering that the limits for this isotope are highly persistent is thirty becquerels per liter). Then have to consider that even the subsea barriers of containment recently loosened by the storms apparently are struggling to prevent radioactive water seeping from under of the nuclear plant ends up in the sea and in this way can contaminate the food chain. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 22, 2013 n°: 2348 Olympics in Tokyo not far from Fukushima Celebrations in Tokyo in triumphant tones after the award of the Olympic Games of 2020 in the capital of a Japan in economic recovery unlike the competing countries struggling with various problems, but some point out that the central severely damaged of Fukushima (in the middle of endless controversy) is two hundred and thirty kilometers far that as regard radiation is not so far considering that there isn't still a sarcophagus covering the reactor and the wind can carry the radionuclides. Meanwhile, South Korea which already had imposed a limit on imports of fish, has banned the import from eight prefectures including Fukushima check out the catch from other areas even if arrive from Japan assurances on safety of their food, but the recent dumping of radioactive water into the sea have led some to claim that losses are structural. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 09, 2013 n°: 2310 Serious accident in Fukushima for radioactive leaks It would be of three level on a scale of seven according to the International scales of measurements the severity of the accident on the circuit of decommissioning for cooling the reactors damaged with loss of three hundred tons of cooling water highly radioactive in the soil and then sorted in the sea, so that the authorities in a meeting with the plant operator should establish measures of restriction for fishing. From time occurred losses of radioactive water into the sea that the technicians did not know how dab, with proposals for subsoil drainage appropriate pipes or with containment walls by freezing the soil, then the water had recently formed a radioactive puddle very close to a tank which presented the losses that has been pumped into another tank, in a series of radioactive leaks caused by the meltdowns of three reactors hardly documented with clarity (..international aid required). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 21, 2013 n°: 2294 Still leaks from the Fukushima plant The admission a few days ago from the same operator of the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima that had leaked into the sea of radioactive water coming from the tanks used in the process of decommissioning of nuclear power [20/08 about three hundred tons] has provoked criticism of public opinion, even if the losses were denounced by independent researchers for a long time they had done analysis on fish caught by local fishermen. There are many unanswered questions such as why the central bait steam intermittently or how much radioactive water ends up in the sea from the leak in the basement of reactors and how they were carried out repairs flaws, how long will maintain the seal (while it is now clear that the large containers for the decommissioning will be replaced), then if the operator is able to handle the emergency, which take a long time and considerable financial resources, effectively. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 02, 2013 n°: 2279 Poisoning at a school canteen in India The continuous increases in food prices over the past six years have increased the difficulties to survive more than four hundred and fifty million people in India and the authorities have organized assistance programs with aid even to school canteens, but they are often poor hygienic conditions and food is of sub-standard quality, as happened in the state of Bihar where twenty-two children have died after eating rice with lentils and other vegetables, while thirty other children are still in the hospital to treat poisoning with atropine (effective in case of poisoning). To consider that India is the country with the most extensive program of free meals for school canteens able to feed one hundred twenty million of children although it is not the first time that happen problems with food, for example due to contamination of the bacterium E. coli or some say for pesticide residues in vegetables not washed well. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 18, 2013 n°: 2266 Survey about shellfish in the Fukushima area A study carried out for four months on the living status of shellfish in forty-three places by the Chiba prefecture of Iwate in Japan would have highlighted the disappearance of the shellfish Thais Clavigera in a coastal area of about thirty kilometers near damaged Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant, then also the Cellana grata, another species of shellfish, was found a decline and high doses of radioactive material in their bodies. The researchers verified that the Thais Clavigera, a kind of shell quite common on the coast of Japan, has been extinguished by eight of the ten monitored places within twenty km radius zone alert established due to severe nuclear accident in March 2011. The cause is almost certainly connected to the radiation and not to the tsunami since molluscs are in good health in areas affected by the large waves generated by the tsunami. - [05/06] Reported a new leak of radioactive water from the plant. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 03, 2013 n°: 2175 Non-hazardous contamination of meat in Europe There would be no risk to health due to contamination of certain mass foods of industrial use such as lasagne and burgers products from large companies with horse meat or of donkey from not controlled supply chain but probably killing and subsequent slaughter of draft animals in Romania following a driving ban for animal-drawn carts. Some concern stems from the use for the horses of a medicine such as the phenylbutazone that can in rare cases cause a serious form of anemia, and also liver damage and for this reason the food industrial type should be tested before entering in the production chain, but in this case without a trace safe and this means that may be faced with cases of food fraud. With regard to the presence of horse meat instead of beef recalls other incidents of "racism" at the expense of the animals. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 13, 2013 n°: 2133 Aliments and security  ... ^ 2 3 4 5
