How Do Emerging Contaminants Affect the Environment?
Emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and nanomaterials, pose new challenges in environmental toxicology. These substances, often not fully regulated, can enter the environment through wastewater and have unknown effects on ecosystems. Toxicologists are researching the potential impacts of these emerging contaminants to develop appropriate safety measures and regulatory frameworks to address their presence in the environment.
