There are several primary pathways through which individuals can be exposed to industrial pollutants:
Airborne Emissions: Pollutants released into the air can be inhaled, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular issues. Waterborne Pathways: Contaminants can enter water sources, affecting drinking water quality and aquatic life. Soil Contamination: Hazardous waste can leach into the soil, affecting food safety and causing direct contact exposure. Occupational Exposure: Workers in industrial settings may face direct exposure to harmful substances, leading to acute and chronic health conditions.
