Contaminant Effects

Meaning

Contaminant Effects describe the adverse physiological and endocrine consequences resulting from exposure to exogenous substances, such as environmental toxins, heavy metals, or endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These effects often manifest as subtle but significant alterations in hormonal signaling, metabolism, and immune function, posing a serious threat to long-term health and wellness. Understanding these exposures is vital for comprehensive clinical assessment and risk mitigation strategies in personalized health care.
