airborne toxins
Airborne toxins are harmful substances that can be found in the air we breathe. These toxins can come from various sources, including industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and natural events like wildfires. Common airborne toxins include carbon monoxide, lead, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can negatively impact human health and the environment.
When inhaled, airborne toxins can cause respiratory issues, headaches, and other health problems. Long-term exposure may lead to more serious conditions, such as asthma or lung cancer. Monitoring air quality is essential to reduce the risks associated with these harmful substances and protect public health.
