Impact of Global Climate Change on the Formation and Occurrence of Nitrosamines in the Environment: Current Findings and Future Perspectives

Abstract

Brettiova A. Mariona* and Clara M. Evony

The severe effects of global warming expected on crops will ultimately have an influence on not just food security but also feed and food safety, with mycotoxins being one of the most serious food safety issues impacted by climate change. This is because reduced yields lead to decreased food availability. It is projected that future changes in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration may increase the danger of mycotoxin contamination of cereal crops in the field and may have an impact on the distribution of particular cereals, mycotoxigenic fungus, and their mycotoxins.
