title: DEOXINIVALENOL AS A RISK FACTOR OF FOOD GRAIN CONTAMINATION: MONITORING RESULTS OF 1989–2018 YEARS HARVESTS IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION
abstract: The paper dwells on the results obtained via long-term monitoring over food grain (wheat, barley, corn, oats, and rye) contamination with mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). From 1989 to 2018 6,800 grain samples from Central, Southern, Volga, Ural, Siberian, North-Caucasian, Far Eastern, and North-western Federal Districts (FD) of the RF were analyzed. Depending on a year harvest, DON occurrence varied from 0 to 42 % and maximum toxin content reached 6.65 mg/kg. Over the whole examined period 10 % s
