DriSteem Adiatec ultrasonic humidifiers are an excellent solution for many applications in the food industry. Click to watch a video about how these humidifiers work and the benefits they offer.

Maintaining proper humidity levels is crucial in food storage and processing facilities, as low or fluctuating relative humidity (RH) levels can lead to a multitude of problems. Low RH can cause food dehydration, which accelerates spoilage and encourages the growth of harmful bacteria, particularly in fresh produce with high water content. Cracking and splitting in food products, particularly in baked goods and confectionery items, is another consequence of low RH.

Beyond affecting food quality, low RH can also damage equipment and affect worker well-being. Metal equipment is susceptible to corrosion under low RH conditions, leading to equipment failure and costly repairs. Workers may experience discomfort due to the dry air, potentially reducing productivity and increasing absenteeism.

Protect your facility against these issues and the associated costs to your bottom line. DriSteem, a trusted manufacturer of humidity control systems, offers a complete line of humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and water treatment systems backed by expert representatives ready to support the unique needs of your facility.

LAREDO, TexasU.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations officers assigned to the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge this week seized cocaine in a commercial conveyance that totaled over $3.5 million in street value.

MONTE VISTA, Colo. The Bureau of Land Management is preparing a prescribed burn at the Blanca Wetlands, approximately 11 miles northeast of Alamosa, Colo. The burn is scheduled for between November, 2023 and mid-March, 2024, and will be conducted as weather and fuel moisture conditions permit. Fire treatments may take multiple days or, sets of days to complete during this time. Specific timing of the operation will depend on favorable weather and fuel moisture conditions. Crews will be on site for the duration of the burn.

Prescribed fire projects help promote healthy ecosystems by removing materials that degrade habitats and contribute to the severity of wildfires. Pond shorelines are burned every five-to-10 years to improve habitat for wildlife, improve angler access, and manage vegetation. As many as 200 acres surrounding eight ponds will be treated to improve habitat for nesting and migratory waterfowl in the wetlands, as well as the more-than 150 species of bird that use the area. An informational video about this ongoing project can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DT6tU8wUs&t=4s.

Smoke will be visible throughout the day of the burn, mostly during the warmest part of the day. With cooler temperatures in the evening, smoke may linger and accumulate in low-lying areas. Firefighters will be on site throughout the day of ignition and will periodically patrol the burns for several days afterward.

Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. For more information, please visit the Colorado Air Pollution Control Divisions website: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wood-smoke-and-health.

For general information, please contact Scott Nilson, Fire Management Specialist for BLM Rocky Mountain District Fire at (719) 852-8150.

For media enquiries, please contact Levi Spellman, the BLM Rocky Mountain District Public Affairs Specialist, at (719) 839-1584.

AMA (NSW) President Dr Michael Bonning will tell the inquiry he has witnessed firsthand the harms tobacco products and vapes cause to patients and the new laws are a good start to discourage people from smoking and vaping.

The AMA supports the changes to the legislation, as they include evidence-based measures to revitalise Australias tobacco and vaping control measures to protect Australians from harm, Dr Bonning said.

These include new measures around rotating health warnings, standardising packaging and terms that can be used.

Australia has made so much progress in tobacco control over the past few decades, but tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disability. More needs to be done to crack down on tobacco sponsorship and implement the retail ban on vapes.

The AMA supports changes that will bring e-cigarettes in line with tobacco advertising restrictions. The AMA also supports the Bills restrictions on social media marketing that targets individuals based on algorithms.

Dr Bonning, who chairs the AMAs Public Health Committee, will tell the inquiry, that the AMA does not support political parties accepting sponsorship from tobacco or e-cigarette companies and calls on all parties to refuse to enter arrangements that clearly compromise government policy making on public health matters.

The AMA calls for all political parties to stop accepting sponsorship from the tobacco industry because this clearly compromises government policy making on public health matters.

Proposed vaping reforms are critical including a retail ban on all vapes and are an overdue change to protect younger people from becoming addicted to nicotine.

Australia needs to protect younger people from addiction to vaping and not make the same mistakes it made around tobacco use in the past. It took decades for the health harms of tobacco to come to light, with the powerful tobacco industry disputing the evidence and relentlessly promoting their addictive products.

We are seeing the same tactics play out today with vapes, hooking new generations on to nicotine by marketing directly to younger people and downplaying the health harms.
