What Are Some Examples of Ecological Imbalances Caused by Toxicology?
One notable example is the impact of pesticides on pollinators like bees. The decline in bee populations due to pesticide exposure has raised alarms about potential impacts on pollination and food production. Another example is the accumulation of heavy metals in aquatic environments, which can harm fish and other aquatic life. The introduction of pharmaceuticals into water bodies can disrupt the endocrine systems of aquatic organisms, leading to reproductive and developmental issues.
