How Do Anthropogenic Pollutants Affect Human Health?
The impact of anthropogenic pollutants on human health is a critical area of study in toxicology. Exposure to these pollutants can occur through air, water, soil, or food, leading to acute or chronic health effects. For instance, heavy metals like lead and mercury can cause neurological and developmental issues, while air pollutants such as particulate matter can exacerbate respiratory conditions and cardiovascular diseases.
