What Is Food Pollution?

Food pollution is generally defined as the presence in food or associated with food of toxic chemicals (elements or compounds) and/or biological contaminants which are not naturally present in food or are above their natural background levels (for those chemicals which are naturally found in some foods).

Effects of Food Pollution

 Food pollution can affect each of us by causing mild to severe food illnesses or, worse, contributing to or causing the development of serious health problems such as hormonal and metabolic problems, or even various types of cancer. Nervous system problems may also be induced by food polluted with certain pesticides. Additionally, in rare cases when highly polluted food is consumed, serious food poisoning or death may occur almost immediately. Food contamination can trigger anything from a small discomfort to life-threatening diseases. On average, more than 70 million cases of food-borne illnesses occur in the U.S. every year, resulting in approximately 5,000 deaths per year!

Causes of Food Pollution

There are numerous causes of food pollution. Basically, any pollutant that comes in contact with food has the potential to pollute it. Various vegetables may get contaminated with toxic bacterial strains (from irrigation water, groundwater, or soil) which may only be destroyed by processing the polluted food at high temperatures. Toxic chemicals can also get into the food in a variety of situations, including:

1. growing of food (e.g. crops, fruits, vegetables) in polluted soils, solid wastes (e.g. mine tailings) or areas with polluted groundwater;
2. irrigation of grown food (e.g. vegetables, fruits, crops) with polluted water;
3. growing of food (e.g. crops, fruits, vegetables) in areas with polluted air;
4. agricultural treatments with pesticides, insecticides, and/or herbicides;
5. agricultural application of sewage sludge and/or polluted fertilizers (which contain ash from power plants);
6. consumption of polluted water and/or food by fish or other animals;
7. food processing, packaging, and handling;
8. propagation and concentration of pollutants through the food chain.

The fact that plants (vegetables, crops, or trees) become contaminated with pollutants from the environment comes from the ability of plants to extract environmental pollutants through their roots, along with water and nutrients. In the case of air pollutants, those usually enter plants also through roots, after being first deposed on the ground with precipitation water. This is why some plants (non-edible species) are actually used to remediate little to moderately polluted soil by extracting pollutants from soils (innovative remediation called phytoremediation).
