Abstract(s)
Os governos de todo o mundo estão a procurar aperfeiçoar os seus esforços para melhorar a segurança a nível alimentar. Esses esforços são uma resposta a um grande número de problemas de segurança alimentar e ao aumento das preocupações dos consumidores. Além disso, a variedade de resíduos tóxicos nos alimentos está a aumentar significativamente como consequência do desenvolvimento industrial, das novas práticas agrícolas, da poluição ambiental e ainda das mudanças climáticas. Este trabalho é uma análise a uma seleção de contaminantes emergentes presentes na alimentação humana, incluindo compostos químicos industriais: compostos perfluorados (PFC), retardantes de chama bromados (PBDEs), resíduos farmacêuticos e ainda biotoxinas marinhas. Neste trabalho falarei ainda dos principais métodos de contaminação, os principais alimentos contaminados e ainda as suas possíveis consequências para a saúde humana.
Governments around the world are seeking to increase their efforts to improve food safety. These efforts are a response to a large number of food safety problems and to an increase of consumer concerns. In addition, the variety of toxic contaminants in food is increasing significantly as a result of industrial development, new farming practices, environmental pollution and even climate change. This work is an analysis of a selection of emerging contaminants present in human food, including industrial chemical compounds: perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), brominated flame retardants (PBDEs), pharmaceutical residues and marine biotoxins. In this paper I will also talk about the main methods of contamination, the main contaminated foods and possible consequences for human health.
