The Algerian delegation participated through the National Institute of Agronomic Research of Algeria (INRAA) within the framework of the IAEA/AFRA Project RAF5091. The Algerian delegation was represented by Mrs. Mounira Azouz (Coordinator), Dr. Bachir Hakim (active member of the project) and Dr. Mokhtari from the CRAPC, who attended as a representative of the partner institution upon invitation from INRAA.

Our scientific contribution included three oral presentations and one poster:

  • Quality Assessment in Fish Pond Water Systems: Environmental Impact of Pesticide Use and Their Transfer.
  • Quality Assessment of Pesticide Residues in Date Palms and Other Agri-food Products.
  • Application of Nuclear and Isotopic Techniques in Food Safety Systems to Enhance Contaminant Detection in Algeria.
  • Poster: Pesticide Residues in Tomatoes and Peppers: Consumer Risk Assessment.

Mrs. Mounira Azouz also had the honor of moderating a technical panel on public health aspects and pesticide detection, facilitating scientific discussions among African and international experts on strengthening food safety systems. đŸŒđŸ€
