Abstract
Environmental toxicants refer to the unfriendly chemical,
physical/biological substances that are discharged to the atmosphere, water,
and soil both naturally and through human actions. Blistering
industrialization, urbanization, and intensive farming have contributed greatly
to the increase in the amount of these poisonous elements in the environment.
The purpose of this review is to analyses the significant sources of
environmental toxicants and determine their effects on the ecosystem and human
health. The major ones are industrial releases, agricultural chemicals, heavy
metals, air pollutants, plastics, and the emerging substances like
endocrine-disrupting compounds. The environmental health effects of exposure to
these toxicants have been associated with acute and chronic health issues, such
as respiratory illnesses, neurological and cancer, reproductive, and
developmental defects. Ecosystems, too, are heavily impacted, which leads to
loss of biodiversity, damage to habitats, bioaccumulation, and food chains. The
results underscore the fact that ecological toxicants are a great risk to the
ecological balance and human well-being on the globe. In this way, proper
regulation, pollution control, and sustainability are of high priority to
reduce the toxic exposure and prevent the threat to young and upcoming
generations.
