vi of a large number of people due to the enormous quantities of
radioactive material that would be required to reach high levels of
contamination in mass-produced or distributed supplies. Although,
based on data presented at the Workshop concerning the more than
30,000 missing radioactive sources all over the word, the
radioactive contamination of food or water is also a scenario that
must be taken seriously into consideration. During the last two
decades there have been several emerging hazards linked to animal
diseases or originating in animal products for example: Avian
Influenza (AI), Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), West Nile
Fever, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Ebola virus.
All these diseases or events directly or indirectly affect food
security and/or food safety. Approximately 75% of all emerging
diseases are zoonotic by either an association with animal
populations or an evolution of the disease in a- mals making it
possible to move from animal species to humans. Participants were
presented the primary results of the ongoing NATO- SPS Pilot Study
on "Food Chain Security". These results focused mainly on (i) an
overview of the food system; (ii) prevention, surveillance and
detection systems and (iii) response system. The importance of
issues such as: vuln- ability assessments, risk communication in
risk analysis, risk perception, traceability, preparedness -
awareness, communication, have to be cons- ered when working on
food chain security.
