Multiple environmental, economic, and ecological issues are linked to a limited number of chemicals such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, methanol, formaldehyde and ethylene or disposal of some waste products from farming, transportation, and the beverage industry. Accordingly, the reduction of the impacts of these limited number of gases on the environment and/or ecology is beneficial. Accordingly, there are presented a range of application of methods, systems, and treatments which mitigate these impacts.

The invention provides methods, apparatuses and compositions for the reduction of pathogenic and/or non-pathogenic organisms in raw meat. The invention includes simultaneously manufacturing and applying to raw meat an activated chlorous agent or other biocidal composition. By simultaneously manufacturing and applying the solution feedstocks such as contaminated components or recirculated used solution that would normally not work, can be used to effectively reduce pathogens in raw meat.

Vehicle safety devices, heat shields used in such devices and related methods are provided. The heat shield for use in vehicle airbags can include a woven base substrate and a needlepunched nonwoven substrate comprising silicon-containing fibers. The needlepunched nonwoven can be needlepunched to the woven base substrate such that, when the heat shield is positioned within an interior space of an airbag, the needlepunched nonwoven substrate faces apertures of an inflator within the airbag.

The disclosure provides a method of reducing aflatoxin contamination in one or more nuts and/or reducing the amount of Aspergillus flavus and/or Aspergillus parasiticus resulting in the presence of aflatoxin contamination in one or more nuts. In an embodiment, nuts are treated with ultraviolet (UV) light, ozone, and peroxide, or combinations thereof. In an embodiment, nuts are treated with UV light and ozone. In an embodiment, nuts are treated with UV light and peroxide. In an embodiment, nuts are treated with ozone and peroxide.
