The Committees also draw the Commission's attention to the new or emerging problems which may pose an actual or potential threat. They are: the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) and are made up of external experts. In addition, the Commission relies upon the work of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMA), the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). SCCS The Committee shall provide opinions on questions concerning all types of health and safety risks (notably chemical, biological, mechanical and other physical risks) of non-food consumer products (for example: cosmetic products and their ingredients, toys, textiles, clothing, personal care and household products such as detergents, etc.) and services (for example: tattooing, artificial sun tanning, etc.).

  • BORON Boron Compounds Are Used in the Manufacture of Glass, Soaps and Detergents and As Flame Retardants
    BORON Boron compounds are used in the manufacture of glass, soaps and detergents and as flame retardants. Naturally occurring boron is present in groundwater primarily as a result of leaching from rocks and soils containing borates and borosilicates. The borate content of surface water can be increased as a result of wastewater discharges, but this use has decreased significantly, and levels of boron in wastewater discharges continue to fall. Guideline value 2.4 mg/l Occurrence Concentrations vary widely and depend on the surrounding geology and wastewater discharges. For most of the world, the concentration of boron in drinking-water is judged to be below 0.5 mg/l. TDI 0.17 mg/kg body weight, based on a BMDL 05 of 10.3 mg boron/kg body weight per day for developmental toxicity (decreased fetal body weight in rats) and an uncertainty factor of 60 (10 for interspecies variation and 6 for intraspecies variation) Limit of detection 0.15 µg/l by ICP/MS; 6–10 µg/l by ICP/AES Treatment performance Conventional water treatment (coagulation, sedimentation, filtration) does not significantly remove boron, and special methods need to be installed in order to remove boron from waters with high boron concentrations. Ion exchange and reverse osmosis processes may enable substantial reduction but are likely to be prohibitively expensive. Blending with low-boron supplies may be the only economical method to reduce boron concentrations in waters where these concentrations are high. Guideline derivation • allocation to water 40% of TDI • body weight 60 kg adult • consumption 2 litres/day Additional comments Because it will be difficult to achieve the guideline value of 2.4 mg/l in some desalinated supplies and in areas with high natural boron levels, local regulatory and health authorities should consider a value in excess of 2.4 mg/l by assessing exposure from other sources.

  • Synthesis, Characterization and Fungicidal Effects of Some
    Journal of Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences (JMMIHS) Synthesis, Characterization and Fungicidal Effects of some Organoborates Shaheen Akther1 Khanal DP2 Ullah SS3 Abstract Synthesis of benzoyl borate, phthasloyl borate and oxyl borate was done and characterized by infra red, ultraviolet and mass spectra. All newly synthesized and characterized organoborates were tested for their antifungal activity against pencillium that spoilt mostly celluloid materials stored in museum. All synthesized organoborates are unstable in room temperature and quickly degraded on exposure to air. Benzoyl borate found to be most active antifungal compound of the series against penicillium. The fungicidal activity increases in hydrophobicity and electron withdrawing nature of the benzene ring substituents. These compounds may be good fungicidal for the conservation of celluloid materials lying in the museum. Key words: Organoborates, Silver metaborate, Acyl chloride, spore, Antifungal. Introduction All organoborates are synthesized with the used of silver metaborate (AgBO2) and boric acid [1] with organic halides such as 3,5, dinitrobenzoyl chloride and p-nitrobenzoyl chloride. Since the silver atom in AgBO2 in photo activated state the reaction with organic halides having a polarized halogen atom will readily takes place with the formation of silver halides. Steric effect is an important factor in determining the course of reactions well as the stability of the product. It is observed that acyl chloride reacts more readily than sterically hindered pyrollium chloride [2]. The reaction of silver metaborate with organic halides may be ascribed to an ionic mechanism. Indeed acyllium [3] ion have been recognized as possible intermediate in acid catalyzed etherification in Friedel- Crafts reactions through the universality of such mechanism in doubt and the ion is assumed to resonate between the below structures: R – C O+ R – C+ O The presence of CO group polarizes the carbon halogen bond to great extent.

  • The Effects of Borax on Milk Yield and Selected Metabolic Parameters in Austrian Simmental (Fleckvieh) Cows
    Veterinarni Medicina, 60, 2015 (4): 175–180 Original Paper doi: 10.17221/8104-VETMED The effects of borax on milk yield and selected metabolic parameters in Austrian Simmental (Fleckvieh) cows M. Kabu, C. Uyarlar Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Afyon Kocatepe University, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the effects of orally administered borax on milk yield and on several blood variables related to metabolism in early lactation in Austrian Simmental cows (Fleckvieh). Twenty primiparous cows were selected at parturition and then assigned to one of two groups, the control group or the borax group. The study lasted for four weeks. Borax was administered orally at 0.2 mg/kg/day (Boron group) to all treatment cows shortly after the noon milking, whereas cows in the control group were not treated. All cows consumed the same diet. All feeds in the diet were analysed for crude cellulose, protein, ether extract, ash, and dry matter according to the Weende Analysis Systems, in addition to ADF and NDF, according to Van Soest. Blood samples were collected from all cows via the vena jugularis on lactation Days 0, 7, 15, 21 and 28 and ana- lysed for the following: serum boron (B), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), total cholesterol (TChol), high density lipids (HDL), total protein (TP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin (ALB), creatine (CRE), uric acid (UA), glucose (GLU), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotrans- ferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) concentrations. Serum B concentration was higher in the borax group than in the control group at Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the experiment.

For the improvement and the promotion of Italian caviar, the development of an analytical system dedicated to fish products, and caviar, in particular, is fundamental. The use of near-infrared spectrometry (NIRS) technology is auspicious. The aquaphotomics approach proved to be an adequate analytical tool to highlight, in real-time, the differences in caviar quality stored with, or without, borax as a preservative.

So obtained product is dissolved in hot water, filtered it & kept aside in dark place for crystallization. ➢ crystals are collected on sintered glass crucible & dried at 50°c in dark. ➢Purified of AgNO3 is costly therefore pure silver & nitric acid free from halogen & sulphur is used. 63 Properties ➢Colour:-White ➢ Odour:- odourless ➢ Nature:-Rhombic crystals ➢ Taste:- Bitter taste ➢ Solubility:-Very soluble in water ➢Sparingly soluble in alcohol, freely soluble in boiling alcohol It becomes grey/greyish black .
