Abstract (croatian)

Ljekovito bilje i biljni proizvodi već tisućljećima nalaze široku primjenu u različitim sustavima tradicionalnog liječenja. Stoga je njihova neškodljivost, ponajprije uvjetovana kakvoćom biljne sirovine, od izuzetne važnosti za javno zdravstvo. Od mogućih čimbenika koji utječu na kakvoću ljekovitog bilja i biljnih proizvoda ovaj pregledni rad osvrće se na najčešće prisutna biološka (mikroorganizmi) i kemijska onečišćenja (mikotoksini, toksični elementi poput teških metala te ostaci pesticida). S ciljem postizanja
ujednačenih standarda kakvoće te osiguranja sigurnosti primjene biljnih proizvoda od vitalne su važnosti zakonski propisi koji moraju u odgovarajućim regulatornim okvirima obuhvatiti ovu skupinu proizvoda s naglaskom na sprječavanju i ispitivanju njihovih mogućih onečišćenja.

Abstract (english)

Medicinal plants have a long history of use in therapy throughout the world and still make an important part of traditional medicine. Thus, medicinal plants and herbal products must be safe for the patient (consumer). This review addresses biological contaminants (microbes and other organisms) and chemical contaminants (mycotoxins, toxic elements such as heavy metals, and pesticide residues) as major common contaminants of medicinal herbs and herbal products. To prevent and screen for contamination and ensure safety and
conformity to quality standards, medicinal herbs and herbal products should be included in appropriate regulatory framework.
