| Description |
Food safety is one of the most important aspects of Environmental Health. In developing countries, hardly 60% of the population have accesses to safe and uncontaminated food. Aflatoxins are one of the common food contaminants that are found in almost all the food commodities right from maize, groundnut, chillies, rice, cotton, pepper, coriander, and in milk (metabolite of AFB1). Experimental evidence shows that aflatoxins are potent carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens. It is also proved that these aflatoxin act synergistically with hepatitis b virus in the etiology of liver cancer. |
