Abstract: |
As the economy moves ahead, Bangladeshi people, in general, are now consuming more meat, fruits and vegetables than ever. With the increased consumption, concerns about food safety have also heightened. Many farmers, for example, use pesticides to protect their crops from sects, rodents and weed. Often, they overuse pesticides for a greater output, but the excessive use of these chemicals significantly damages the organic features of their crops. Formalin used by dishonest vendors for preserving fruits, vegetables and fish is a serious threat to public health. |
