MAXIMUM ACCEPTABLE LEVEL [11 records]

Record 1 2023-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

The maximum constant yield(MCY) defines a constant catch level that is estimated to be sustainable, with an acceptable level of risk, at all probable future levels of biomass... Thus, this catch level should be able to be harvested each year without depleting the fish stock... Since this figure is constant by definition, when the fish stock decreases, the proportion of the stock that is removed through fishing actually increases.... So while the MCY provides a static measure of [the maximum sustainable yield], it is also one that varies annually as a proportion of the fishable biomass.

Record 3 2014-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
  • Radiation Protection
  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Law
CONT

Although there are no scientifically proven minimum safe limits for concentrations of certain toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in food, air and water, such "safe limits" in fact have been set by the appropriate food and drug administrations or their equivalents. The implication is that a dose of low-level radiation with no acceptable safe level is more health-threatening than a low-level dose of, for example, dioxin. In fact, the Task Force finds it is more reasonable to accept a maximum permissible level for ionizing radiation because background radiation is a ubiquitous, naturally occurring phenomenon, whereas there is no naturally occurring level of polychlorinated biphenyls.
