By using two instruments from Retsch Technology the Shell researchers are now able to determine particle sizes in a range from 10 nanometers to 30 millimeters.
Due to the fact that only a very small amount can be won from each animal, cashmere wool is an expensive resource for the textile industry which makes it susceptible to falsifications. Instead of cashmere, the cheaper sheep wool is used and the product is then declared as genuine cashmere. Or products only contain a small amount of cashmere while the rest is wool from other animals which is processed without declaration.

Mykotoxins are natural metabolism products of molds which have a toxic effect on humans and animals. Just like micro-organisms which generate antibiotics, molds which generate mycotoxins have spread all over the world. Aflatoxins are the most toxic form of mycotoxins. Some types of food show an increased risk of aflatoxin release due to fungal infestation: dried fruit, spices, nuts (peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachios) and grain (wheat, corn).
