AB  - Contamination by chemicals from the environment is a major global food safety 
      issue, posing a serious threat to human health. These chemicals belong to many 
      groups, including metals/metalloids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), 
      pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), radioactive elements, 
      electronic waste, plastics, and nanoparticles. Some of these occur naturally in 
      the environment, whilst others are produced from anthropogenic sources. They may 
      contaminate our food-crops, livestock, and seafood-and drinking water and exert 
      adverse effects on our health. It is important to perform assessments of the 
      associated potential risks. Monitoring contamination levels, enactment of control 
      measures including remediation, and consideration of sociopolitical implications 
      are vital to provide safer food globally.
