A comprehensive image of environmental toxic heavy metals in red meat: A global systematic review and meta-analysis and risk assessment study.

Heavy metals are defined by their long biological half-life and non-biodegradability in the environment and the human body. Thus, they can accumulate in considerable amounts within soil-plant-food chains, presenting a potential health risk to humans. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence and mean levels of heavy metals (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) in red meat globally.
