Environmental Toxin Effects

Meaning

The spectrum of adverse biological responses in the human body resulting from exposure to environmental toxins, encompassing substances like heavy metals, pesticides, plasticizers, and industrial pollutants. These effects range from acute toxicity to chronic, subtle disruptions of physiological systems, particularly the highly sensitive endocrine network. Clinically, the impact often manifests as hormonal imbalances, impaired metabolic function, or reproductive system compromise.
