What Are the Emerging Concerns in Environmental Toxicology?
Emerging concerns in environmental toxicology include the impact of microplastics, endocrine disruptors, and nanomaterials. Microplastics are small plastic particles that can harm marine life and enter the human food chain. Endocrine disruptors interfere with hormone systems, causing developmental and reproductive issues. Nanomaterials, due to their unique properties, pose unknown risks to both the environment and human health.
