Darina Štěpánová
VZL 2007, 76(2):52-55
Benzene is a stable colourless liquid at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. It has characteristic aromatic odour, and a relatively low boiling point. Benzene occurs naturally in fossil fuels and is produced incidentally in the course of natural processes and human activities that involve the combustion of organic matter such as wood, coal and petroleum products. The main industrial use of benzene is as a starting material for the synthesis of other chemicals. Large quantity of benzene is produced during the petroleum refining and a part of it remains as a petrol component. Petrol vehicle emissions are the predominant source of benzene...

VZL 2007, 76(2):56-59
Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that can primary occur in contaminated food commodities. On the other side we can not exclude the risk of mycotoxins misuse for bioterrorist purposes. The ability of timely detection and identification of mycotoxins is one of the main tasks in protection activities. Several commercial methods for mycotoxins assays such as HPLC and/or ELISA were described. Nevertheless a sensitive method, using a simple, portable, and low cost device, has been still missing. Biosensors seem to be convenient methods for mycotoxin assay that fulfill noticed expectancies. In this article the existing biosensors such as fluorometric...
