Background:Melamine also called cyanurimide is used widely as basic organic chemical intermediate inseveral products. At present its most important role is as a raw material for melamine-formaldehyde resin (MF).Melamine has been a cause for food adulteration concern. One example is in the United Statespet food contamination in2007nother unforgettable incident was in2008China’s milkpowder incident occurred resulting [...]
Objective:To investigate changes of kidney function in infants who consumed melamine-contaminated milk powder, and discuss the influence of melamine on kidney function; A novel flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of melamine in urine and plasma was developed.Methods:1. From April to December in2008,180infants with positive urine were investigated in the action of “The survey of [...]
Background:Contamination of dairy products with melamine in China has resulted in a widespread outbreak of urinary tract calculi in infants and children in September 2008.
