- Campos Eléctricos e Magnéticos e o seu Potencial Impacto na Saúde PúblicaPublication . Mendes, Diana; Alberto Alves Carvalhais, Carlos; Neves, PaulaUm vasto número de tecnologias produzem campos eléctricos e magnéticos (CEM) desde gamas de frequências muito elevadas, passando pelas micro-ondas e as ondas rádio, até às frequências muito baixas dos sistemas e máquinas eléctricos. Na Europa, os CEM gerados a partir das linhas de transporte de energia eléctrica situam-se na gama das frequências muito baixas, concretamente, na ordem dos 50Hz.

- Bioaccessibility and changes on cylindrospermopsin concentration in edible mussels over storage and processing time.Publication . Freitas, Marisa; Azevedo, Joana; Carvalho, António Paulo; Mendes, Vera; Manadas, Bruno; Campos, Alexandre; Vasconcelos, VítorThe cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin has been recognized of increased concern due to the global expansion of its main producer, Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. Previous studies have shown that aquatic organisms, especially bivalves, can accumulate high levels of cylindrospermopsin. Based on the potential for human health risks, a provisional tolerable daily intake of 0.03 µg/kg body-weight has been recommended. However, human exposure assessment has been based on the cylindrospermopsin concentration in raw food items. This study aimed to assess the changes on cylindrospermopsin concentration in edible mussels over storage and processing time as well as cylindrospermopsin bioaccessibility. Mussels, (Mytilus galloprovincialis) fed cylindrospermopsin-producing C. raciborskii, were subjected to the treatments and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Mussels stored frozen allowed a significantly higher recovery of cylindrospermopsin (52.5%/48 h and 57.7%/one week). The cooking treatments did not produce significant differences in cylindrospermopsin concentration in mussel matrices (flesh), however, cylindrospermopsin was found in the cooking water, suggesting that heat processing can be used to reduce the availability of cylindrospermopsin in this food item. The in vitro digestion with salivary and gastrointestinal juices considerably decreased the cylindrospermopsin availability in uncooked and steamed mussels, highlighting the importance in integrating the bioaccessibility in the human health risk assessment.
- Relation between occupational exposure to noise and work stress: an exploratory study in industrial environmentPublication . Barros, Beatriz; Santos, Joana; Alberto Alves Carvalhais, CarlosEvidence indicates that exposure to excessive noise can affect auditory and non-auditory aspects of health. Research in industrial workplaces was more focused on the relation between occupational noise and auditory effects, and few relate noise exposure and non-auditory symptoms among workers. The set symptoms are referred to as occupational stress, having a direct impact on productivity and safety behaviors. The main goal of this study was to assess the effect of noise exposure on occupational stress.
- Practices of receiving fish products and the sensory perception of its quality by food operators: the importance of training programsPublication . Morais, Rita; Gomes, Sara; Freitas, MarisaFood safety is an important issue worldwide, once foodborne diseases are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The selection of reliable suppliers and inspection of incoming raw materials/ingredients are crucial to guarantee the safety of food. Regarding to the freshness of fish products it can be perceived in sensory terms by sight, touch, smell and taste. Food operators should therefore be effectively trained to ensure that inspection procedures are adequately performed.
- Toxicity of pentachlorophenol on the reproductive cycle of Eisenia fetidaPublication . Oliveira, Ana; Barros, Piedade; Nunes, MafaldaPentachlorophenol (PCP) in the environment can largely be attributed to contamination of sediments from historic usage, since nowadays the use of PCP is restricted. The soil accommodates a huge amount of organisms and is a very important resource because it is the basis for farming, which allows obtaining food. The organisms present in the soil are part of the basic trophic levels in the food chain and maintain the soil fertile. A very important organism for soil fertility is the earthworm because it’s responsible for the improvement of the soil structure, decomposition of organic matter, mineralization of nutrients and its diffusion to the plants. The earthworm Eisenia fetida is used on toxicity tests because of its susceptibility to chemicals and its short life cycle.
- Cost-benefit analysis of a job rotation program: Identification and applicability of key indicators.Publication . Sá, Ana; Martins, Bibiana; Rodrigues, Matilde A.Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to repetitive work are common in the automotive industry. In order to reduce the risk of MSDs, new strategies of work organization can be implemented, such as a job rotation program. However, in some cases, employers and workers are little receptive to this measure, being important to demonstrate its efficacy through a cost-benefit analysis. This work aims to identify and to test the applicability of the indicators that better explain the cost-benefit impacts of a job rotation program in an automotive components plant.
