What Are the Health Implications of Circadian Misalignment?
Prolonged circadian misalignment is associated with a range of health issues, including increased susceptibility to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic syndrome. In the context of toxicology, this misalignment can exacerbate the harmful effects of environmental pollutants and occupational exposures. For example, shift workers are at a higher risk of developing health conditions due to the combined effects of circadian misalignment and exposure to workplace toxins.
