Pulsed ultraviolet-light technology and ecoinnovations for safeguarding consumer health and fragile seafood industry from norovirus outbreaks
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Contamination of water and food are responsible by many outbreaks and deaths worldwide, caused by failures in production, ineffective disinfection techniques, proximity to sources of contamination, and human intervention ...
Full water quality monitoring of a traditional flow-through rainbow trout farm.
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Traditional freshwater rainbow trout farms are still popular in some European countries
such as Poland, France and Ireland. These systems generally operate in flow-through configuration.
The impact such production systems ...
Detection, fate and inactivation of pathogenic Norovirus employing settlement and UV treatment in wastewater treatment facilities.
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
It is accepted that discharged wastewaters can be a significant source of pathogenic viruses in receiving water bodies contributing to pollution and may in turn enter the human food chain and pose a risk to human health, ...
Potential use of peatlands as future locations for the sustainable intensification of freshwater aquaculture production - a case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2020-03-01)
There has been an increasing interest in enhancing freshwater aquaculture processes without hindering the progress of the Water Framework Directive. Bord Iascaigh Mhara (Ireland’s national seafood development organisation), ...
Efficacy of using harmless Bacillus endospores as novel surrogate organisms to indicate the inactivation performance of recalcitrant cryptosporidium parvus oocysts suspended in water using pulsed IV light
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2013-06)
The need to use complex in vitro cell culture, expensive equipment and highly-trained technicians that are available only to specialist laboratories has significantly limited studies assessing the potential of pulsed UV ...
Bacterial inactivation, photoreactivation and dark repair post flow-through pulsed IV disinfection
(Elsevier, 2021-04-19)
Pulsed UV (PUV) technology is accepted commercially for disinfection within the food packaging industry, but has yet to be deployed by the water/wastewater sector. This is partly due to a lack of robust, independently ...
Longitudinal evaluation of the impact of traditional rainbow trout farming on receiving water quality in Ireland.
(PeerJ, 2018)
In the context of future aquaculture intensification, a longitudinal ten-year evaluation of the current traditional rainbow trout production in Ireland was performed. Publically available and independent data obtained from ...
The effect of wastewater treatment processes, in particular ultraoviolet light treatment, on pathogenic virus removal.
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016)
Municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges are
a recognised source of human pathogenic viruses, of
which norovirus is of great concern and the leading
cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. Currently, no
legislation ...
Implications for the seafood industry, consumers and the environment arising from contamination of shellfish with pharmaceuticals, plastics and potentially toxic elements: a case study from Irish waters with a global orientation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-20)
Shellfish are a rich source of minerals, B-vitamins and omega-3 to the human diet. The global population is expected to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 where there will be increased demand for shellfish and for sustained ...
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: a review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2022)
Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an
environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review
evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ...
