What Are the Impacts of Extreme Weather Events on Toxicology?
Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and floods, can lead to the release and spread of toxic substances. Floodwaters can mobilize pollutants from industrial sites, landfills, and agricultural areas, contaminating water supplies and soil. Hurricanes can damage infrastructure, causing leaks or spills of hazardous materials, which can have long-lasting environmental and health effects.
