What are the Human Health Impacts of Environmental Pollutants?
Exposure to environmental pollutants can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, neurological disorders, and cancers. For example, long-term exposure to airborne particulate matter can lead to chronic respiratory conditions, while ingestion of contaminated water can result in gastrointestinal illnesses. Vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, are particularly at risk.
