What are the Common Sources of Environmental Toxins?
Environmental toxins can originate from various sources, both natural and anthropogenic. Major sources include industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, vehicular emissions, and improper disposal of hazardous waste. Natural sources can include volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Industrial chemicals like PCBs and dioxins, as well as heavy metals such as mercury and lead, are particularly concerning due to their persistence and toxicity.
