Abstract
Exposure to environmental pollutants/toxins has progressively been identified as a major cause of different health concerns. Air pollution, occupational and radiation exposures, and agricultural chemicals are significant environmental factors contributing to oxidative stress (OS) and adverse health outcomes. Air pollution (particulate matter/toxic gases) is worsening respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The occupational exposures to harmful substances can create chronic oxidative conditions which affects overall health. Radiation exposures (medical procedures /environmental sources) and agricultural chemicals cause the cellular damage, increasing the risk of cancer, affecting endocrine and neurological functions. Overall impact of these exposures is required rigorous monitoring and regulation to mitigate health risks. Addressing these environmental challenges is essential in protecting health and promoting public awareness to reduce harmful exposures and improve overall well-being.
