How Does Fossil Fuel Combustion Impact Toxicology?
Fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas, are traditional sources of energy but they are significant contributors to air pollution. The combustion of these fuels releases a range of toxic substances such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can lead to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, and other health problems, highlighting the need for ongoing toxicological assessments.
