How Do Environmental Toxicants Enter the Ecosystem?
Environmental toxicants can enter ecosystems through various routes, such as:
Industrial discharges: Release of chemicals from factories and industrial plants. Agricultural runoff: Chemicals from fertilizers and pesticides washing into water bodies. Atmospheric deposition: Pollutants released into the air and then deposited onto land or water. Waste disposal: Improper disposal of hazardous waste. Accidental spills: Unintended release of chemicals during transportation or storage.
