Environmental Health and Environmental Toxicology

Environmental health is a subset of public health that focuses on people's interactions with their surroundings, improves human health and well-being, and builds healthy and secure communities. Any complete public health system must include environmental health. Toxic substances and organisms in the environment have a harmful impact on human health. Poisonous chemicals and chemical compounds, physical things that disturb biological processes, and disease-causing organisms are among them. The consequences of being exposed to environmental pollutants are numerous. Carcinogens, as well as chemicals that influence cardiovascular, endocrine, and pulmonary functioning, are major risks. Toxins in the environment, infections, and other factors can cause an overabundance of oxygen free radicals in the body, which are harmful particles that may play a role in neuronal degeneration. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), also known as hormone disrupting compounds, are prevalent in the environment.

The study of the adverse effects of diverse chemical, biological, and physical agents on living organisms is the domain of environmental toxicology, a multidisciplinary discipline of science. Ecotoxicology is a branch of environmental toxicology that focuses on the detrimental effects of toxicants on humans and ecosystems. Environmental toxicologists use biology, chemistry, and epidemiology principles to investigate how chemicals affect human health and the environment. Toxicologists forecast where chemicals will end up in the environment and in our bodies, study their hazardous effects, and maintain track of exposure limits in order to keep us and our environment healthy.
