How Does Transboundary Pollution Affect Human Health?
The impact of transboundary pollution on human health is profound. Pollutants such as particulate matter, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants can travel long distances and contribute to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and even cancer. For example, air pollution originating in one country can exacerbate asthma cases in neighboring regions, posing a challenge for local healthcare systems.
