Environmental Chemicals

Environmental chemicals are substances found in our surroundings—such as in air, water, soil, or products—that can affect human health and ecosystems. They include pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals from industrial processes, and household products. While some chemicals are useful, others can cause health problems like respiratory issues, allergies, or long-term diseases if exposure is high or chronic. It's important to monitor and regulate these chemicals to reduce risks, and individuals can minimize exposure through safe product choices, proper disposal, and supporting environmentally responsible policies.
