Effects of Climate Change on Nitrosamines

Abstract

Angel Median

By reducing yields and thereby food availability, the significant effects of global warming projected on crops will ultimately have an impact on not only food security but also feed and food safety, with mycotoxins being one of the most significant food safety risks impacted by climate change. Future shifts in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric CO₂ concentration are anticipated to increase the risk of mycotoxin contamination of cereal crops in the field and may have an effect on where specific cereals, mycotoxigenic fungi, and their mycotoxins are distributed
