Toxic Seafood

"Toxic Seafood" uncovers the alarming reality of toxins and pollutants accumulating in marine life, posing risks to human health. It delves into how industrial activities and waste disposal have dramatically increased ocean pollutants like mercury and PCBs, which then bioaccumulate in seafood. The book highlights that global seafood consumption is rising, yet public awareness of these hazards remains limited, making informed dietary choices crucial.

The book starts by introducing major toxin classes, such as methylmercury and dioxins, detailing their origins and chemical properties. It then explores ecological pathways of toxin accumulation, examining bioaccumulation and biomagnification processes. Two key chapters will focus on the impact of these toxins on human health, detailing specific health risks associated with consuming contaminated seafood, and the vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women and children.

"Toxic Seafood" adopts a data-driven approach, presenting complex scientific information in an accessible manner. It concludes with practical guidance on making safer seafood choices, understanding labeling, and advocating for policies reducing marine pollution, empowering readers to navigate the debates surrounding seafood safety and promote responsible consumer behavior.
