Data on the incidence and levels of chemical contaminants in foods are needed for continuous assessment of the safety of the food supply and to inform the public about the safety of food. A larger share of the total analytical resource--federal and state government, private sector, and academia--could profitably be directed to collection and publication of data on the occurrence of chemical contaminants in foods. The quest for more data must be accompanied by measures to ensure data reliability and comparability and to estimate the uncertainty of measurements. Research to improve the efficiency of analysis may be the top priority for future methods improvement studies. Analytical chemistry will continue to be an essential factor in assuring a safe food supply and in communicating to the public accurate information and conclusions about food safety.
为持续评估食品供应的安全性并向公众通报食品安全情况，需要有关食品中化学污染物的发生率和含量的数据。在联邦和州政府、私营部门及学术界的全部分析资源中，可将更大比例的资源有效地用于收集和公布食品中化学污染物存在情况的数据。在寻求获取更多数据的同时，必须采取措施确保数据的可靠性和可比性，并估计测量的不确定性。提高分析效率的研究可能是未来方法改进研究的首要任务。分析化学将继续是确保食品安全供应以及向公众传达有关食品安全的准确信息和结论的关键因素。
