It will discuss the health risks associated with these toxins\, including both short-term and long-term effects. Additionally\, Dr. Malik will explain how food safety regulations help manage these risks and provide practical advice on reducing exposure through proper food handling\, cooking\, and storage. The goal of the presentation is to empower individuals to make informed decisions about the food they consume. \nOur Guest Speaker\nDr. Riffat Naseem Malik is a Professor and founding chairperson in the Department of Environmental Sciences\, Quaid-i-Azam University\, Islamabad\, Pakistan. She received her PhD from the University of Reading\, UK in 2003 and postdoctoral research fellowships from the University of Turku\, Finland and Lancaster University\, UK. \nDr. Malik is an expert on studying environmental contaminants in particular “Persistent Organic Pollutants” (POPs)\, their trends\, fate\, behavior\, atmospheric transport and sources in aquatic and terrestrial resources of Pakistan; their effects\, impacts on ecological systems and risks associated to human health and wildlife. \nThis presentation is offered by the NC Museum of Natural Sciences in conjunction with NC State University and the Fulbright Outreach Lecturing Fund.
