Human Exposure to Arsenic and Toxic Metals Through Meat Consumption in Africa: A Review of the Scientific Literature

2025-03-30

Abstract excerpt

While meat consumption is decreasing in high-income countries, significant increases are observed elsewhere. Although this includes African nations, average meat consumption is generally lower in Africa than in other continents. Meat provides essential nutrients, but inadequate consumption can lead to health problems, with exposure to environmental contaminants being a concern. This review focuses on recent scient...
