Article Synopsis
- Honey is valued as a health food due to its natural production by honeybees and its sugar content, but it can also carry environmental contaminants.
- This study investigated 212 honey samples from different areas in Queensland, Australia, focusing on pesticide, herbicide, and PAH levels.
- The analysis revealed low or negligible levels of contamination, indicating that honey from rural, peri-urban, and urban sources is consistently safe from these pollutants.
