This book investigates the presence and effects of pesticide residues in food products. It covers the toxicological risks associated with pesticide ingestion, including acute and chronic health impacts. The book emphasizes safety evaluation methods, residue monitoring, and regulatory standards to ensure food safety. Suitable for food toxicologists and agricultural scientists, it promotes strategies for minimizing pesticide residues in the food supply.
Aspen Todd investigates the toxicological impacts of pesticides present in food, focusing on their safety evaluation and risk management to ensure consumer health. Her research explores how pesticide residues in fruits, vegetables, and grains contribute to health issues such as endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and cancer. Aspen has developed comprehensive safety evaluation frameworks to assess the levels and effects of pesticides in the food supply. She has published extensively on the toxicological mechanisms of pesticide action and the effectiveness of regulatory policies in reducing exposure risks. As an editor, Aspen offers guidelines for toxicologists and food safety professionals to evaluate and manage pesticide residues in food, promoting safe consumption practices through informed toxicological assessments and regulatory compliance.
