environmental toxicity

Environmental toxicity refers to the harmful effects that certain chemicals or pollutants in our environment can have on living organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. These toxins can come from activities like industrial processes, pesticide use, or waste disposal. When exposed, they may cause health problems such as respiratory issues, poisoning, or long-term diseases, and can also damage ecosystems by affecting wildlife and plant life. Understanding environmental toxicity helps us recognize the importance of managing pollutants and reducing our exposure to protect health and preserve the environment.
