Air and water monitoring involves the monitoring and testing of air and water quality in the processing line of a facility. Test results help determine if acceptable standards are being met for a range of parameters that influence food safety and quality. https://www.food-safety.com/rss/332 en-us This article takes a deeper look at air quality standards and monitoring for food processing facilities.

She discusses microbial testing of agricultural water, the transition to sustainable packaging, hygienic design of farm equipment, and other topics.
