What we talk about when we talk about the long-term carbon cycle

C. Kevin Boyce et al.

Summary: The terrestrial biota plays a crucial role in the long-term carbon cycle through the formation of coal and other sedimentary organic matter, as well as the impact on weathering of silicate minerals. However, there are misconceptions that hinder progress in understanding these processes, such as mass balance requirements, the nature and duration of perturbations, timescale constraints, and the role of models.

Hg Content in EU and Non-EU Processed Meat and Fish Foods

Vincenzo Nava et al.

Summary: Mercury is a highly toxic element and fresh food is the main source of human exposure to it. This study aimed to determine the mercury content in different processed food products, such as beef, pork, poultry, shellfish, and fish species, from both EU and non-EU origins. The results varied and were influenced by the different types of food.

Mineral and Microbiological Analysis of Spices and Aromatic Herbs

Nicola Cicero et al.

Summary: Spices and aromatic herbs have historical significance in human nutrition, being a rich source of bioactive compounds. However, they may also pose biological hazards and contain harmful chemical substances. This study aimed to assess the compliance of various spices and herbs from a non-European country market with EU and WHO regulations through microbiological and trace mineral determination. The results showed that the tested spices were safe, meeting the legal criteria for microbiological parameters and potentially toxic substances.

Edible Snail Production in Europe

Anna Rygalo-Galewska et al.

Summary: The human population growth and insufficient food production have led to the search for alternative methods of providing animal protein. Edible snails, particularly the brown garden snail and the Roman snail, are promising options in Europe due to their high productivity and low costs.
