Recent problems in hygienic chemistry

Conclusion

In order to supply food in safer conditions, many things have to be done hereafter besides fortified contamination monitoring and completeness of total diet study. Those will be specimen banking, establishment of the detection system of unknown contaminants and application of analytical methods to multiple components and their automation.

However, monitoring should not be regarded as an end in itself. Although it may facilitate the removal of contaminated food from distribution channels, it does little or nothing to reduce contamination. To do this, the source of contamination must be identified and eliminated or controlled.

For the expansion and the implementation of sanitation which is said to indicate the cultural level of human, not only to keep the technical level of analysis in high quality or to clarify the toxicity mechanism, but to evaluate sufficiently preventive investigation or research is essential. I hope such works will make remarkable progress in the every field of pharmaceutical sciences in this country.
