The welfare of production animals at slaughter is a major veterinary concern, with debate on questions such as the degree of stunning required, how sentient animals are of their surroundings, slaughterhouse conditions, and how quickly animals lose consciousness after having their throats cut in religious slaughter practices. This research monograph provides a thoroughly scientific evidence-based account of the physiology and behaviour of animals for slaughter, analysis of the different killing methods, legislation and operating procedures, lairage and movement, as well as depopulation and handling. Animal Welfare at Slaughter is mainly aimed at animal welfare officers and policy makers, veterinary and meat inspectors and slaughterhouse auditors. However, this will also be a reliable resource for veterinary and animal science students, and the informed public. The Animal Welfare series covers current topics in animal welfare, to further research and inform the scientific, policy-making, and farming communities. *** "This well-referenced book is divided into 14 chapters written by 21 contributors. Black and white photographs and illustrations are used to highlight key points, and many chapters contain 'toolboxes' for the evaluation and improvement of animal welfare. ...provides excellent information and guidance. It will be a useful reference for anyone interested in welfare issues associated with animal slaughter. --Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Vol. 251, No. 12, December 15, 2017 (Series: Animal Welfare in Practice) [Subject: Agricultural Science, Veterinary Science, Animal Welfare, Farming]

L'eau est une ressource naturelle essentielle au maintien de la vie et de l'environnement. On pense toujours qu'elle est disponible en abondance et qu'elle est un don gratuit de la nature. Cependant, la composition chimique des sols de surface ou souterrains est l'un des principaux facteurs dont dépend l'adéquation de l'eau à des fins domestiques, industrielles ou agricoles. La fluorose, un problème de santé publique endémique, est présente dans 22 pays du monde. Il s'agit d'un trouble invalidant connu pour se produire en raison de l'entrée de fluorure dans le corps. L'injection excessive de fluorure par l'eau potable provoque des formes de fluorose dentaire, squelettique et non squelettique. Les fluorures sont libérés dans l'environnement de manière naturelle par l'altération et la dissolution des minéraux, les émissions des volcans et les aérosols marins. La principale source naturelle de fluorure inorganique dans le sol est la roche mère. Au cours de l'altération, les minéraux fluorés se décomposent et se dissolvent dans l'eau. Les fluorures sont également libérés dans l'environnement par les processus industriels.

A água é um recurso natural essencial para sustentar a vida e o ambiente e pensa-se que está sempre disponível em abundância e é uma dádiva gratuita da natureza. Contudo, a composição química dos solos superficiais ou subterrâneos é um dos principais factores dos quais depende a adequação da água para fins domésticos, industriais ou agrícolas. A fluorose, um problema endémico de saúde pública, prevalece em 22 nações em todo o mundo. É uma doença incapacitante conhecida devido à entrada de flúor no corpo. A injecção excessiva de fluoreto através da água potável causa formas de fluorose dentária, esquelética e não esquelética. Os fluoreto são libertados naturalmente no ambiente através da meteorização e dissolução de minerais, emissão de vulcões e em aerossóis marinhos. A principal fonte natural de fluoreto inorgânico no solo é a rocha mãe. Durante a desagregação e dissolução dos minerais de flúor na água. Os fluoretos são também libertados para o ambiente a partir de processos industriais.

L'acqua è una risorsa naturale essenziale per il sostentamento della vita e dell'ambiente e si pensa sempre che sia disponibile in abbondanza e che sia un dono gratuito della natura. Tuttavia, la composizione chimica del suolo superficiale o sotterraneo è uno dei fattori principali da cui dipende l'idoneità dell'acqua per scopi domestici, industriali o agricoli. La fluorosi, un problema endemico di salute pubblica, è presente in 22 nazioni del mondo. Si tratta di un disturbo invalidante che si manifesta a causa dell'ingresso di fluoro nell'organismo. L'eccessiva immissione di fluoro nell'acqua potabile provoca forme di fluorosi dentale, scheletrica e non scheletrica. I fluoruri vengono rilasciati nell'ambiente in modo naturale attraverso gli agenti atmosferici e la dissoluzione dei minerali, l'emissione dai vulcani e gli aerosol marini. La principale fonte naturale di fluoruro inorganico nel suolo è la roccia madre. Durante gli agenti atmosferici, i minerali di fluoro si rompono e si dissolvono nell'acqua. I fluoruri vengono rilasciati nell'ambiente anche dai processi industriali.

Wasser ist eine wesentliche natürliche Ressource für die Erhaltung des Lebens und der Umwelt, und man geht davon aus, dass es immer im Überfluss vorhanden ist und ein kostenloses Geschenk der Natur darstellt. Die chemische Zusammensetzung des ober- oder unterirdischen Bodens ist jedoch einer der Hauptfaktoren, von denen die Eignung des Wassers für häusliche, industrielle oder landwirtschaftliche Zwecke abhängt. Fluorose, ein endemisches Problem der öffentlichen Gesundheit, ist in 22 Ländern der Welt verbreitet. Es handelt sich dabei um eine verkrüppelnde Erkrankung, die bekanntermaßen durch das Eindringen von Fluorid in den Körper verursacht wird. Die übermäßige Zufuhr von Fluorid über das Trinkwasser verursacht zahnmedizinische, skelettale und nicht-skelettale Formen der Fluorose. Fluoride gelangen auf natürliche Weise durch Verwitterung und Auflösung von Mineralien, durch Emissionen von Vulkanen und in marinen Aerosolen in die Umwelt. Die wichtigste natürliche Quelle für anorganisches Fluorid im Boden ist das Muttergestein. Bei der Verwitterung werden Fluoridminerale abgebaut und lösen sich im Wasser auf. Fluoride werden auch durch industrielle Prozesse in die Umwelt freigesetzt.

Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life and environment and it is always thought to be available in abundance and is a free gift of nature. However, chemical composition of surface or subsurface soil is one of the prime factors on which the suitability of water for domestic, industrial or agricultural purpose depends. Fluorosis, an endemic public health problem, prevails in 22 nations around the globe. It is a crippling disorder known to occur due to the entry of fluoride into the body. The excessive injection of fluoride through drinking water causes dental, skeletal and non-skeletal forms of fluorosis. Fluorides are released into the environment naturally through the weathering and dissolution of minerals, emission from volcanoes and in marine aerosols. The main natural source of inorganic fluoride in soil is the parent rock. During weathering fluoride minerals break down and dissolve in water. Fluorides are also released into the environment from industrial processes.
