How do environmental pollutants contribute to bone health issues?
Environmental pollutants such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, and air pollutants can contribute to bone health issues. Pesticides can disrupt endocrine function, affecting hormones that regulate bone health. Industrial chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) have been shown to interfere with bone remodeling. Air pollutants can increase inflammatory responses, potentially leading to bone resorption and weakening.
