The Dirty Dozen: 12 Foods That Are High in Pesticides | Tube Ozone Generator

This air purifier’s washable filters make filter changes easy, and its three cleaning speeds put you in control. It’s also Energy Star-rated, so it won’t run up your bill.

Oz: The key for EV will be when they can pack nearly the same energy or preferably more into the same volume and weight as an ICE’s gas tank!

Innovative ozone technology developed and patented by Scottish company Anacail has the potential to be a game-changer for retailers in the UK and worldwide thanks to its ability to safely and quickly ‘decontaminate’ fresh fruits and vegetables in sealed packs. A potent germicide, the ozone actively reduces bacteria, mould, yeasts and viruses on produce without the need for any chemicals or additives, thereby extending shelf-life and improving food safety. PBUK caught up with Anacail, which is exhibiting at The London Produce Show and Conference, as it brings the product to market following years of research and development. 

Now That It’s Legal: What Next? The primary question asked by those in the agricultural and food industries when confronted with ozone and its approval by the FDA is, “How much ozone do I need to apply to do what I want it to do” Unhappily, the best and most truthful answer is that aside from some guidance from the published literature, the wise approach for the potential ozone user is to determine, by actual testing, the appropriate ozone dosage and exposure times for the specific agricultural and/or food product(s) to be treated. `The reader must understand, that although there are many studies on ozone in contact with various foods in the literature, specific details on ozone’s effects on specific foodstuffs sufficient to design ozonation systems in food/agricultural plants are sparse. Prior to FDA’S approval of ozone in 2001, it was actually illegal to use ozone for treating foods in the U.S. Consequently, FDA’S approval of ozone in 2001 was simply a “license to study” ozone in its many potential food and agricultural applications. As such, we offer a recommended ozone evaluation protocol in the form of the following steps that should be taken whenever a food processor becomes seriously interested in testing ozone: I. Select food item or process to be treated with ozone. 2. Identify specific foliage microorganisms that will be involved. Not all foods are spoiled by the same microorganisms. 3. Establish ozone or process performance required, including how many logs of inactivation of the targeted microorganisms are required; how much extension of shelf life is required; how clean must a recycled process water be, and so on.4. Check published literature. Start with the Food Additive Petition. If insufficient data are available (as expected), then conduct laboratory studies on those microorganisms to determine ozone dosages and conditions for their inactivation. One ozone company provides pilot systems for conducting such lab testing. 5. Apply conditions to food/process and confirm results. 6. Determine cost-effectiveness. In the FAP submitted to the FDA, there is a table that reports ozone dosage/exposure data obtained during specific studies. These data are most useful as guidance to the prospective ozone user, with the caution that the user must determine the minimum ozone dosage/exposure level necessary to accomplish the intended effect. At the same time, the prospective user should determine the maximum ozone dosage/exposure level that will cause damage to the agricultural or food product being treated. If ozone is evaluated in this manner for each potential application, the user will have a comfortable operating range of ozone dosage/exposure. This will allow the user to specify ozone treatment conditions that will always ensure attaining ozone’s intended effect(s) while also ensuring that excess ozone sufficient to damage the food product will be avoided.

Wolf, many thanks for the clarity you provide for this and all your other articles. I truly am grateful, appreciative and thankful. You make reading enjoyable. And the way you organize and express otherwise complex data allows me to remember more.

What this report didn’t cover is one of the major hurdles towards mass adoption is the energy grid itself, which in places like California is already overstressed.

The citizens’ group is now taking a data-driven approach to protecting their air, installing low-cost monitors around the region and building a record of pollution they hope can convince researchers and regulators to take action before smog levels become more dangerous. But it’s not just Grand Junction: In 2013, an ozone monitor in Rangely, Colorado (population 2,400) spiked to more than 100 parts per billion (ppb), on par with levels measured in Los Angeles the same year. Over the past decade, monitors in the Upper Green River Basin in Wyoming and the Uinta Basin in Utah have registered pollution levels above the Environmental Protection Agency’s health standards, and swaths of rural Texas have seen high ozone levels.

“This design really solves the fouling problem and the steam collection problem,” Chen says. “Now we’re looking to make this more efficient and improve the system. There are different opportunities, and we’re looking at what are the best options to pursue.”

Earlier this year, the province also approved hi-tech farming and agriculture projects in Thang Binh District and the township of Dien Ban on 425 hectares of land with planned investment totalling VND5.4 trillion ($239 million) by 2024.

Study co-author and ARC Laureate Fellow at the Monash School of Chemistry, Professor Doug MacFarlane, said the investigation of water oxidation electrocatalysts is a core theme within the Australian Centre for Electromaterials Science, where he leads the energy program.

   Updated 7 hours ago The fact that Nelspruit is a multi-franchise branch of Goscor Industrial & Construction Equipment means it represents all brands and products in the Goscor stable. Recently it supplied Bobcat telehandler parts for Jindal Africa and Kenmare Resources, as well as selling two SANY front-end loaders to Lwandlelethu Business Enterprises. The multi-franchise branch approach is highly cost-effective, and a major benefit to customers, who can access all the group has to offer under a single roof. “It gives customers insight into how diverse the group is, and how we can offer complete solutions for a range of applications and requirements,” Nelspruit Branch Manager Jean Botha adds. →
