FDA FERN Radiation in Food Project

项目摘要 华盛顿卫生部公共卫生实验室(WAPHL)运营着一项 高级辐射应急综合环境辐射实验室 反应能力，包括测量食品中放射性污染的程序。 食品安全和安保是公共健康和商业的重要组成部分。 华盛顿州。华盛顿是一个大型农业食品生产国，有几个主要的 活跃于食品进出口的口岸。从港口运来的食物 在美国各地，以及环太平洋地区和世界其他地区。 此应用程序的最终目标是：保持放射性食品检测方面的专业知识 华盛顿州辐射实验室；保持处理大量和 快速、准确地获取种类繁多的样品；加强现有的协作伙伴关系 随着FDA和其他蕨类实验室加强综合食品安全体系， 保持放射分析仪器处于良好工作状态的专业知识，并进行修改 或者开发快速放射分析程序来分析食品。此应用程序将 专门用于资助两名放射化学家，主要是为了保持专业知识和能力，以 参与食品监测和应急检测，并在时间允许的情况下， 继续进行基质扩展研究，以快速分析#年发射β的锶同位素 食品。

Project Summary The Washington Department of Health Public Health Laboratories (WAPHL) operates a comprehensive environmental radiation laboratory with advanced radiation emergency response capability, including procedures for measuring radiological contamination in foods. Food safety and security are essential components to public health as well as commerce in Washington State. Washington is a large agricultural food producer and has several major ports which are active in food importing and exporting. From the ports, food is shipped throughout the Unites States, as well as the Pacific Rim and other parts of the world. The ultimate objectives of this application are: Maintain expertise in radiological food testing at the Washington State Radiation Laboratory; maintain capacity to process a large number and wide variety of samples quickly and accurately; strengthen existing collaborative partnerships with FDA and other FERN laboratories strengthening the Integrated Food Safety System, maintain expertise in keeping radioanalytical instrumentation in good working order, and; modify or develop rapid radioanalytical procedures to analyze foodstuffs. This application will specifically be used to fund two radiochemists primarily to maintain expertise and capacity, to participate in surveillance and emergency response testing of foods, and as time allows, continue matrix extension studies for rapid analysis of beta-emitting strontium isotopes in foodstuffs.
