Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Pathways and influential factors study on the formation of PBDD/Fs during co-processing BDE-209 in cement kiln simulation system

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Author(s): Jinzhong Yang, Haibin Yu, Zhen Xie, Yufei Yang, Xiaoyan Zheng, Jingxing Zhang, Qifei Huang, Tao Wen, Jianyuan Wang The thermal processes of cement kilns are sources of polybrominated dibenzofurans and dioxins (PBDD/Fs); however, when co-processing decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) soil in cement kilns, very few reports have investigated the mechanism of PBDD/Fs formation from BDE-209.
