Unravelling the Nexus Between Contaminants and Toxicology
Keywords:
Contaminant Pollution, Regulatory Frameworks, Risk Management, Emerging Contaminants, Environmental Health, Human Health Impacts, Ecological Consequences, Pollution Prevention, Sustainable Remediation, Stakeholder EngagementAbstract
Contaminants, ubiquitous in our environment, pose significant threats to human health and ecological integrity. From industrial chemicals to emerging pollutants, understanding their toxicological effects is crucial for risk assessment, management, and remediation strategies. This comprehensive review integrates multidisciplinary perspectives to delve into recent advancements in contaminant toxicology, elucidating their sources, pathways, and impacts on human health and the environment. By synthesizing epidemiological data, toxicological research, and regulatory frameworks, we provide a holistic overview of the complex interactions between contaminants and biological systems. Furthermore, we explore emerging challenges posed by novel contaminants and anticipate future trends in contaminant toxicology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations and evidence-based approaches for safeguarding public health and environmental sustainability.
