Overview

Environmental contaminants are substances, including chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, and other materials, that are present in air, water, or soil at levels capable of harming people, wildlife, or ecosystems. They originate from industrial activity, agriculture, waste disposal, and natural processes, and once released they can persist, move through the environment, and accumulate in living organisms. Assessing environmental contaminants involves measuring their concentrations, tracking their distribution, and evaluating exposure and toxic effects, which links environmental science with clinical and experimental toxicology. Within Experimental and Clinical Toxicology, research relevant to environmental contaminants includes the use of metabolomic tools in assessing environmental exposure, a study evaluating a freshwater bivalve as a bioindicator of pollution in a water stream, and an analysis of the distribution, spread, and environmental risk of lead, cadmium, and chromium in soils around an open-air waste dumpsite. Related work on biomarkers and on the treatment of water-borne toxins supports the detection and management of contamination. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to environmental contaminants and their effects on health and the environment.
