A channel of Food basket contamination: Negative aspect of development

Dr. Anita Singh

Abstract :

 The metal contamination of food crops is a global environmental issue. As metals are non–biodegradable having long biological half–lives, they get ultimately biomagnified in various trophic levels. They are omnipresent in the environment through natural and anthropogenic activities. Accumulation of metals in human body above their requirements can pose a significant health risk. So, the metals must be controlled in food sources to assure public health safety
