Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Diet and Risk: Contaminant Exposure”, seeks to explore the relationship between contaminant exposure and potential health risks arising from our diets. The issue is open to all topics related to diet and contaminant exposure; however, we are particularly interested in papers that address how changing dietary preferences, as well as new and novel food sources and production processes, may change the risk of exposure to known contaminants in the food chain and/or provide the opportunity for new contaminants to emerge. It is important to ensure that our knowledge of the pathways by which contaminants enter our food supply, and the potential health risks associated with their consumption, remains relevant in light of changing food supply systems and the pressures being faced to meet our global food security needs.
Subject areas of interest may include (non-exclusive):
New and emerging contaminants in the diet;
Improved methods of contaminant analysis;
Changing dietary patterns influencing contaminant exposure;
New dietary intake methods and tools;
Novel foods and novel contaminants;
Changing supply chains and the impact on contaminant control and mitigation.
By gathering the latest research and insights in this Special Issue, we hope to provide a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and the wider public to share and discuss the risks associated with contaminant exposure via the diet, and help to inform strategies for mitigating these risks in our food supply.
Dr. Benjamin P. C. Smith
