Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether attention should be given to buy more organic foods than conventional foods.

Concept introduction: Conventionally, in fruits, vegetables, and grains that are produced, pesticides are used. Pesticides such as malathion and chlorpyrifos are neurotoxicant. At high levels, they work by inhibiting acetylcholinestrase.  This can lead to paralysis, breathing problems, and even death. Due to its toxic effect, the fruits and vegetable are produced through organic farming without use of pesticides and gain the USDA’s organic label.

The Benzodiazepines test device is a qualitative, preliminary test which would be able to detect whether Benzodiazepines are present in the urine specimen at the cut-off concentration of 300 ng/mL. Is it possible to have a urine specimen which was interpreted as POSITIVE using the Benzodiazepines test device to be interpreted as NEGATIVE by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry? Justify your answer. A study was conducted by the manufacturer of the benzodiazepines test device to determine whether some compounds would have cross-reactivity at levels of 100µg/mL. List down examples of non cross-reacting compounds
An ambulatory veterinarian from the VMTH is going to Bilario's pig farm to administer antibiotics after asuspected carrier of infectious diseases entered the farm.
