Assessing groundwater quality is essential for ensuring the sustainability of agriculture and ecosystems. This study evaluates contamination by heavy metals (HMs) using GIS approaches, multivariate statistical analysis (MSA), pollution indices (heavy metal index (HPI), (MI), degree (Cd), ecological risk (ERI), (PI)), human health assessment (HHRA). The results revealed significant variations in concentrations across area, with highest found southern southeastern parts, characterized intense agricultural activities uncontrolled landfills. Statistical analyses indicated both natural anthropogenic sources contamination. Pollution showed medium to high water levels, HPI values ranging from 20.23 128.60, MI 3.34 12.17, Cd 2.90 11.73, indicating varying degrees ERI suggested a low all samples. However, assessments highlighted non-carcinogenic carcinogenic risks, particularly children, TCR some like Ni Cr exceeding safe limits, potential hazards. findings provide valuable framework policymakers develop targeted strategies mitigating sustainable management.

Biosensors are innovative and cost-effective analytical devices that integrate biological recognition elements (bioreceptors) with transducers to detect specific substances (biomolecules), providing a high sensitivity specificity for the rapid accurate point-of-care (POC) quantitative detection of selected biomolecules. In meat production chain, their application has gained attention due increasing demand enhanced food safety, quality assurance, fraud detection, regulatory compliance. can foodborne pathogens (Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli/STEC, L. monocytogenes, etc.), spoilage bacteria indicators, contaminants (pesticides, dioxins, mycotoxins), antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance genes, hormones (growth promoters stress hormones), metabolites (acute-phase proteins as inflammation markers) at different modules along from livestock farming packaging in farm-to-fork (F2F) continuum. By real-time data biosensors enable early interventions, reducing health risks (foodborne outbreaks) associated contaminated meat/meat products or sub-standard products. Recent advancements micro- nanotechnology, microfluidics, wireless communication have further sensitivity, specificity, portability, automation biosensors, making them suitable on-site field applications. The integration blockchain Internet Things (IoT) systems allows acquired management, while artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) enables processing, analytics, input risk assessment by competent authorities. This promotes transparency traceability within fostering consumer trust industry accountability. Despite biosensors' promising potential, challenges such scalability, reliability complexity matrices, approval still main challenges. review provides broad overview most relevant aspects current state-of-the-art development, challenges, opportunities prospective applications regular use safety monitoring, clarifying perspectives.
