Environmental melamine contamination has also detected due to its huge consumption in industry and also its application in agriculture. As evidence, detection of melamine in waste water [13], water and sediment [14], soil [15] and as a consequence crops [16] can be mentioned.
The maximum level allowed for melamine residue has regulated and set 1 mg kg−1 for powdered infant formula and 2.5 mg kg−1 for other foods and animal feed (FAO/WHO 2010) [17].
Melamine can cause tissue injury, such as acute kidney failure, urolithiasis, bladder cancer, and even death above the safety regulation level [18].
