Food Emergency Response Network Radiological Laboratories

德克萨斯州卫生服务部 食品应急网络辐射实验室 RFA-FD-10-004 项目摘要/摘要 德克萨斯州卫生服务部(DSHS)拥有设备齐全的放射科 实验室雇用了七名分析员，并有能力对辐射进行反应 紧急情况。农业是德克萨斯州的主要产业，德克萨斯州有几个主要的 活跃于食品进出口的口岸。Dshs目前有 监测计划，以监测德克萨斯州的食品供应。食品药品检验员 例行公事地采集肉末样本，准备食用肉制品、牛奶和乳制品 产品、海鲜产品和海湾水。这些样本由 病原体和其他有毒物质的DSHS实验室。化学制品 对饮用水、瓶装水和食物中的化合物和污染物进行监测 样本。对饮用水、瓶装水和许多 环境样品的类型。在这个时候，唯一的监控程序是 食品的放射性检测在该州的两个核电厂附近进行 工厂和Pantex武器设施。 该项目的目标是：(1)提供可靠的放射学分析来源 在技术上有能力并在组织上致力于提供 在发生意外或故意的放射性污染时向FDA提供支持 食物供应。(2)发展放射性食品检测方面的专业知识。(3)建设实验室 能够快速处理数量更多、种类更多的样品 准确地说。(4)与其他Fern RAD CAP实验室一起协调两个 实验室间-比较应急响应演习，一次在2012年，另一次在#年 2015年，作为MENU2010年工作的后续行动。 这项提议包括资助两名化学家进行放射性测试。 食品监测样本，资助为DSHS实验室提供必要的培训 分析员执行FDA指定的分析方法指定，并资助 在本实验室实施FDA指定方法所产生的费用。

Texas Department of State Health Services Food Emergency Response Network Radiological Laboratories RFA-FD-10-004 Project Summary/Abstract The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has a well equipped radiological laboratory that employs seven analysts, and has the capability to respond to radiological emergencies. Agriculture is a major industry in Texas, and Texas has several major ports which are active in food importing and exporting. DSHS currently has surveillance programs to monitor the food supply in Texas. Food and drug inspectors routinely collect samples of ground meat, ready to eat meat products, milk and dairy products, seafood products, and bay water. These samples are routinely tested by the DSHS laboratory for pathogenic organisms and other toxic substances. Chemical compounds and contaminants are monitored in drinking water, bottled water, and food samples. Radiological testing is performed on drinking water, bottled water, and many types of environmental samples. At this time, the only surveillance program for the radiological testing of food is conducted in the vicinity of the state's two nuclear power plants and the Pantex Weapons facility. The goals of this project are: (1) provide a reliable source of radiological analytical capability that is technically capable and organizationally committed to providing support to the FDA in the event of accidental or deliberate radiological contamination of the food supply. (2) develop expertise in radiological food testing. (3) build laboratory capacity to process a larger number and wider variety of samples quickly and accurately. (4) participate with the other FERN RAD CAP Labs to coordinate two interlaboratory-comparison emergency response exercises, one in 2012 and the other in 2015, as a follow-up to the MENU2010 exercise. This proposal includes funding for two chemists to perform the radiological testing of food surveillance samples, funding to provide necessary training for DSHS laboratory analysts to perform the FDA designated analytical methods designated, and funding for expenses incurred in implementing the FDA designated methods in our laboratory.
