A Global Wake-Up Call on Chemical Water Quality

As new contaminants enter agrifood systems, international collaboration and analytical capacity will be key

Share

Increasing drought and population demands are prompting a shift towards alternative water sources in agrifood systems, which raises serious concerns about water quality. A new FAO/WHO report addresses the often-overlooked issue of chemical contamination in irrigation and aquaculture, emphasizing emerging contaminants like PFAS. Martin Rose, a noted analytical chemist, highlights the necessity of analytical science in assessing these risks under a One Health approach, advocating for better monitoring and regulatory strategies to safeguard food safety amidst changing environmental conditions.
