What Are Emerging Concerns in Environmental Epidemiology?
Emerging concerns in environmental epidemiology include the health impacts of microplastics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and the effects of urbanization. Microplastics, found in water and food, are a growing concern for their potential to cause harm to human health. Endocrine disruptors, found in various consumer products, can interfere with hormone systems and lead to adverse health effects.
