English to Spanish: AIRBORNE PARTICULATE MATTER General field: Science Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English Agricultural activities in general and livestock production in particular can emit considerable amounts of particulate matter (PM) to the atmosphere (Takai et al., 1998). Intensive poultry and pig houses are major sources of PM emissions, contributing to about 50%, poultry; and 30%, pigs, of total PM emissions from agriculture in Europe (EMEP-CORINAIR, 2003). The role of PM from livestock production nowadays, is both an issue of scientific interest and of public concern due to its potential health and environmental effects.
Translation - Spanish Las actividades agrícolas en general y la ganadería en particular pueden emitir grandes cantidades de material particulado (PM) en el ambiente (Takai et al., 1998). La explotación intensiva de aves de corral y los criaderos de cerdos son fuentes primordiales de emisiones de PM, cuyas aportaciones al total de las emisiones de PM procedentes de la agricultura en Europa son de aproximadamente el 50% (aves de corral) y el 30% (cerdos), (EMEP-CORINAIR, 2003). En la actualidad, el papel de PM procedente de la producción ganadera es una cuestión de interés tanto científico como público debido a sus efectos potenciales sobre la salud y el medioambiente.

Source text - Spanish Considering that functional foods must be able to modulate some physiological parameter related to health condition or to the prevention of certain diseases (EUR 1859, 2000), their design and development usually begin via one of the following paths:1) Modification of the raw material’s composition, 2) Modification of the transformation processes so that during these, the formation of compounds with a specific biological activity are favoured or increased, and 3) Modification of the formula of a traditional food, eliminating or replacing certain ingredients (fat, sugar) or adding compounds of confirmed healthy characteristics (soluble fibre, Omega-3, vitamins, fitosterols, etc.).
