“…Crop-related factors: biomass and crop age Both biomass and the age or growth stage of crops, representing important biotic influential factors, were found to affect contaminant uptake from soil by plants. Unlike abiotic factors, plants may react resiliently when exposed to contaminants, which may lead to complex and various influences on contaminant uptake from environments (Ba et al, 2022). Regardless of a few conflicting findings, most included studies reported a positive effect of crop biomass on the uptake of pesticides, mycotoxins, and radionuclides.…”

“…This shift may be caused by drainage in soil during the growth period, leading to a higher level of contamination for uptake. Ba et al (2022) quantified the influence of crop age and found a nonlinear, that is, U-shaped or inverted U-shaped, depending on the type of radionuclides, correlation between age and concentration in water spinach, which varied across different radionuclides (Table S3). It is known that crop biomass will increase over time until a certain age of crops.…”

Food safety is recognized as a major hurdle in the transition toward circular food production systems due to the potential reintroduction and accumulation of chemical contaminants in these food systems. Effectively managing these hazardous contaminants in a risk‐based manner requires quantitative insights into the factors influencing the presence and fate of contaminants in the entire circular food chain. A systematic literature review was performed to gain an up‐to‐date overview of the known factors and their influence on the transfer and accumulation of contaminants. This review focused on the terrestrial circular primary food production system, including the pathways between waste‐ or byproduct‐based fertilizers, soil, crops, animal feed, and farmed animals. This review revealed an imbalance in research regarding the different pathways: studies on the soil‐to‐crop pathway were most abundant. The factors identified can be categorized as compound‐related (intrinsic) factors, such as hydrophobicity, molecular weight, and chain length, and extrinsic factors, such as soil organic matter and carbon, pH, milk yield of cows, crop age, and biomass. Quantitative data on the influence of the identified factors were limited. Most studies quantified the influence of individual factors, whereas only a few studies quantified the combined effect of multiple factors. By providing a holistic insight into the influential factors and the quantification of their influence on the fate of contaminants, this review contributes to the improvement of food safety management for chemical hazards when transitioning to a circular food system.
