persistent organic pollutants (pops)

What are the Sources of POPs Exposure?

POPs can enter the environment through various pathways, including agricultural runoff, industrial emissions, and improper disposal of waste. Human exposure to POPs can occur through multiple routes such as ingestion of contaminated food and water, inhalation of polluted air, and dermal contact with contaminated soil or products. The consumption of fish and other seafood is a significant source of exposure due to the bioaccumulation of POPs in aquatic food chains.
