Chemical Residue
Chemical residue refers to the leftover substances that remain after a chemical process or reaction. This can occur in various settings, such as agriculture, where pesticides may leave traces on crops, or in industrial processes, where solvents and other chemicals may not be completely removed from equipment.
These residues can pose risks to health and the environment if not managed properly. For example, pesticides can contaminate soil and water, affecting ecosystems and potentially entering the food chain. Monitoring and regulating chemical residues is essential to ensure safety and minimize harmful effects.
