industrial toxins
Manufacturing chemical hazards
Industrial toxins are harmful substances produced as byproducts of manufacturing, chemical processing, mining, and other industrial activities.
These include heavy metals like lead and mercury, volatile organic compounds, and various chemical pollutants that can contaminate air, water, and soil.
Exposure to industrial toxins poses serious health risks to workers and communities near industrial sites, and their regulation is a major concern of environmental and occupational safety agencies.
