Audit quarantines

Pages listed here should not be used for downstream HMT&C threshold setting, course content, or app data until Karen has reviewed the cited issue.

• Literature review and health risks assessment of heavy metal contamination in human milk - QUARANTINE. The source text has an unresolved cadmium country-label contradiction: it reports Iraq as having the highest Cd concentration (Ci=57.33 mg/L), assigns the matching EDI/HQ/CR values (EDI=4.7 mg/kg/day, HQ=4.7, CR=3.62) to Iran, and then states that Lebanon, Cyprus, and Iraq exceeded the recommended allowance. Codex corrected metadata and units that could be verified, but the country-specific Cd outlier should not be used until checked against the figures or underlying primary data.

• Long-Term Operation of Brick-Kilns Led Heavy Metal Contamination of Soil-Plant-Animal Continuum in Kashmir Himalayas - QUARANTINE. Autonomous audit found two cross-row transpositions in the original ## Key numbers section: rice-bran Pb values were populated from the soil-Cd row, and soil-Cd values were populated from the soil-Cr row with one fabricated D1 value (23.89±0.27) that does not exist in Table 1. All transposed values have been corrected against Table 1 (p. 385) and Mean±SE labelling has been added, but the page is quarantined for Karen to confirm the corrected values before downstream HMTc/courses/app use because the underlying ingest-time PDF-table extraction was unreliable. The frontmatter publication field was also corrected from “International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Biotechnology” to “Journal of Animal Research” (the actual journal per the PDF header).
• Determination of Some Heavy Metals in Oil Sunflower Seeds Grown in the North of Turkey - QUARANTINE. Autonomous audit found a wholesale author misattribution: the cite-key, raw_handle, and original frontmatter named the paper as Ozyazici/Dengiz/Ozyazici/Aygun 2021, but the PDF at raw_path (DOI 10.31590/ejosat.873311) is actually Gül V. & Kul S. (2021), “Determination of Some Heavy Metals in Oil Sunflower Seeds Grown in the North of Turkey,” European Journal of Science and Technology 23:725-729. Authors, title, body prose, H1 heading, and methods detail were corrected to reflect the actual paper. Cr was removed from the metals: frontmatter (paper analyzed B, Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb — no Cr). All ten reported metal ranges match the abstract verbatim. Cite-key/raw_handle rename to a Gül-prefixed key is locked to Karen review. A unit concern remains: the paper reports µg/kg for Fe (13-61), Zn (34-54), Cu, Mn — physically implausible for sunflower seeds (typical ~mg/kg range), almost certainly a unit-label error in the source. Do not pool these values into ingredient contamination_profile until the µg/kg vs mg/kg question is resolved.
