Injurious Effects

Pesticides are known to be one of the extremely useful and incredibly beneficial agents for preventing losses of crops as well as diseases in humans. They are used in a large number of conditions as in farms, orchards, gardens, parks, sports lawn, residences, industrial areas, shops, schools, hospitals, airports, railway lines, drains, on animals, and on people for control of diseases such as scabies and head lice. People are exposed to pesticides in their daily lives through multiple routes of exposure such as occupational or food, water, and air. Many pesticides can be used safely and effectively, but care must be taken while using them. Several pesticides are beneficial in agriculture for killing pests. Yet many times their injurious effects offset the positive ones. Uses of pesticides are apprehension for sustainability of environment and global stability. This chapter aims to discuss pesticides, their types, routes of their exposure, human health concerns related to them, methods to stop using them, and a future scenario of the world after eradicating pesticides.

Abstract Biofilms are complex microbial communities formed by one and more species embedded in an extracellular polymeric matrix of different compositions depending on the attached microbial species and the type of food manufacturing. Attachment of bacteria to food contact surfaces and the subsequent formation of biofilms can cause equipment damage, food spoilage and even human diseases. Foodborne diseases associated with biofilms in the food industry can be intoxications or infections and can have great impact on human health. Foodborne pathogens that express capacity for biofilm formation under different conditions in the food industry, and that are in the scope of our investigations, are Salmonella (which, on contaminating a food pipeline biofilm, could induce massive outbreaks and even death in children and elderly) and Listeria monocytogenes (a ubiquitous bacterium that can cause abortion in pregnant women and other serious complications in children and the elderly).

Micronutrient Intake

Nutrition is important for human health in all stages of life - from conception to old age. Today we know much more about the molecular basis of nutrition. Most importantly, we have learnt that micronutrients, among other factors, interact with genes, and new science is increasingly providing more tools to clarify this interrelation between health and nutrition. Sufficient intake of vitamins is essential to achieve maximum health benefit. It is well established that in developing countries, millions of people still suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. However, it is far less recognized that we face micronutrient insufficiencies also in developed countries.
