This review explores the origins, environmental distribution, and ecological impacts of aflatoxins, emphasizing their persistence in soil, water, and food chains. It also discusses strategies for mitigating their environmental effects, supported by recent research. Understanding aflatoxins’ behavior in the environment is critical for developing sustainable solutions to minimize their ecological and societal harm.</span></em></p> |
