Hazardous Chemicals, Environmental Pollution, Public HealthAbstract
Hazardous chemical contamination of water, soil, and air poses significant threats to environmental sustainability and public health. Sources such as industrial activities, agriculture, mining, and urbanization introduce toxic substances, including heavy metals, into ecosystems, leading to pollution, biodiversity loss, food security concerns, and adverse health effects. Effective environmental monitoring, remediation technologies, regulatory policies, and public awareness are essential for mitigating contamination and promoting a healthier and more sustainable future.
