All the articles go through a meticulous peer reviewing process prior to their publishing. Professional editors and reviewers make certain of articles’ accuracy and maintain high standardized quality.
In recognition of the fact that we are the leading service when contributors publish with us, they receive exposure to the superior expertise that makes sure that the work will always be relevant and engaging, and discoverable by adding it to the appropriate databases and indexes providing it with maximum reach to the target readers.
Environmental Toxicology
Environmental toxicology is a multidisciplinary branch of study that examine physical or chemical substances that have damaging consequences on the living organisms with which they interact. There are numerous toxicants in our environment, all in distinct categories. Wherever we reside, they contaminate the air, the soil, the land, and the water. A tremendous threat to living beings is posed by metals, insecticides, and a vast variety of complex substances that are generated by human-made processes. The majority of toxicants penetrate the bodies of individuals through the use of a variety of pathways, including liquid, breath, food, medications, as well as occupational or unintentional exposures.
When an organism stores toxicants in its fatty tissues, the process is known as bioaccumulation, which can lead to the bio-magnification of particular toxicants and the establishment of a trophic cascade. Reduced species variety and abundance are the negative impacts on an organism and its community as a result of harmful effects of such chemical and biological agents as toxicants from pollution, insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Interactions between humans and other living beings, and the environment must be harmonious in order to stop ongoing environmental deterioration and the decrease in human and environmental health. This is possible by taking an integrated, comprehensive approach that combines sociocultural interventions with education and research in the natural sciences and growing public awareness of environmental damage.
Climate Change
Massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have been pumped into the atmosphere by human activities over the past decades. Greenhouse gases surround the earth, retaining energy and keeping the climate warmer. The earth needs this phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect, in order to support life on earth. However, the quantity of these gases increments it causing fluctuations in climate yielding harmful consequences on the ecosystem and human health. The natural sources of greenhouse gases are volcanic eruptions, forest fires, etc., but most of them are due to human activities. Human activities such as deforestation, burning fossil fuels, farming livestock, etc., generate an enormous amount of greenhouse gases. The temperature increases dramatically, causing a number of variations on earth like floods, droughts, intense rain, or heat waves. As we are witnessing, our glaciers are experiencing a meltdown and sea levels are rising. People have adapted to the stable climate around them. Our planet warming up to this level provokes changes that affect our water supplies, natural environment, agriculture, health, and safety. If the present situation of climate change continues to grow in a similar pattern, then it will impact all forms of life on the earth.
Pollution
Pollution is a threat to our environment and is associated with living organisms, including global public health as well. Pollution and climate change are both interlinked phenomena due to the fact that all the pollutants causing the pollution adversely affect the climate as well. The air we breathe exposes us all to the tiny particles that damage the lungs and leads to respiratory tract-associated diseases. Similarly, water pollution also causes loads of negative outcomes for the population that is exposed to it. Despite being a worldwide challenge, pollution predominantly affects people who reside in developing countries or industrial areas, the elderly, women, and infants are especially much more susceptible.
The majority of the pollutants contaminating our surroundings are produced by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, transportation, burning garbage, mining, ignition of agricultural waste yields methane and ammonia, and chemical industries throwing their waste into water bodies. The use of kerosene and wood in developing countries are also the causative agents of indoor air pollution. Plastic is the most common pollutant despite being employed for a number of uses. Pollution is hazardous to all and therefore we must concert efforts to eliminate this by taking effective steps for a better tomorrow.
Bio-diversity
The existence of various plant and animal species on planet earth is referred to as biodiversity. The preservation of the earth’s equilibrium is heavily reliant on biodiversity or flora and fauna. However, biodiversity is declining constantly for a myriad of reasons, species of plants and majorly animals are going extinct at a fast pace. The planet might not be a suitable home to reside in if the species’ extinction does not cease. As plant and animal species are dependent on one another if one goes extinct, the other will be endangered as well. For instance, human beings also need food to survive, our food sources are plants, animals, and marine animals. if the earth is not maintained with a suitable environment then agricultural crops won’t be grown. As a result, it will no longer be possible to sustain on this planet. Thus, several strategies aid in booting the earth’s biodiversity like making national parks, conservation zones, etc., are being employed. As all living creatures are connected to one another thus it is crucial to maintain biodiversity.
