The unabated release of contaminants into natural ecosystems is having serious implications on human health due to the connections between the health of human populations, ecological health, and the services that these ecosystems provide to humans. Anthropogenic (industrial, domestic and agricultural) activities are pathways of environmental contamination. This is exacerbated by the integral role of climate change in contaminant dynamics (across the biosphere i.e. air, land and water) resulting in global environmental and human health concerns in the 21st century. Aspects of contaminant dynamics and potential risks to human health have been discerned through investigations on occurrence, distribution, bioaccumulation, biomagnification and transport through successive links in the food chain.
