Climate Change and Aflatoxin B 1 in Agriculture Products: A Systematic Review
Abstract
(AFB1). There is ample evidence that the incidence of food pollution is increasing with climate change. This systematic review analyzed the available evidence of increased exposure to this dangerous toxin through food and its association with climate change. For this purpose, databases were searched with designed keywords. The full text of 63 manuscripts was fully evaluated. The relationship between climate change and increased pollution with this toxic metabolite has been observed. Stressors associated with climate change lower plant defenses against fungi. Controlling climate change will likely be one of the most important strategies in controlling pollution by this mycotoxin. Therefore, all countries are advised to implement the Paris Agreement commitments.
