Analytical Chemistry Professor Félix Hernández has addressed the inaugural lecture of the academic year 2013/2014 on the contributions of analytical chemistry to the field of public health in the areas of environment and food security.

According to the director of the Laboratory of Residue Analysis of Pesticides at the UJI, a conceptual change and greater environmental culture are needed. Regarding food safety, we also need a greater involvement. "We should be able to grasp that we live with synthetic chemicals that have brought great advances, but they involve a virtually ubiquitous presence of thousands of compounds of anthropogenic origin on our planet", he noted. Therefore, it is necessary that "we citizens demand controls and responsibilities before the excesses".

Inaugural lecture: video from 34.33 to 80.05 of the opening ceremony of the academic year (in Spanish): <http://www.svideo.uji.es/peli.php?codi=1213&lg=>
