Human Health at Risk: Why We Need Stricter Regulations on Environmental Toxins

Abstract

Environmental toxins, ranging from industrial chemicals to agricultural pesticides, pose an escalating threat to human health. Despite growing awareness, regulatory measures remain inadequate in mitigating the pervasive risks these toxins present. Chronic exposure to pollutants such as lead, mercury, and bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to a myriad of health problems, including cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, and respiratory ailments. This editorial underscore the urgent need for stricter regulations on environmental toxins, highlighting their impact on public health and advocating for a proactive approach to policy reform.
