Xenobiotics in the Food Chain: Quantitative Analysis, Toxic Impact, and Usage History

Abstract: Over the past few decades there has been increasing emphasis on the fact that both humans and animals are exposed to a variety of xenobiotic chemicals through foodstuffs and the environment. Xenobiotic chemical pesticides have been extensively used all over the world to eradicate insect-borne diseases in order to attain a better crop yield. Human beings started using pesticides to control pests as early as 2500 bc. These chemicals are capable of persisting in the environment for decades, migrating in air, soil, sediment, and water, and accumulating in plants, animals, and humans; these pollutants are called persistent organic pollutants (POPs). They can survive in lipids for a long time and can cause chronic diseases including birth defects, a reduction in immunity, disturbance of growth patterns, brain damage, mutations, learning problems, diseases of the respiratory system such as asthma, and behavior anomalies in humans and animals. This chapter provides a brief insight into xenobiotic bioaccumulation and toxic impact, and the history of their use.
