The source of POPs is predominantly discharge of waste and untreated water, sewage, and runoffs from agricultural fields into water bodies. Varying amounts, mostly in small quantities, of pharmaceutical and veterinary drugs residues, nanoparticles, chemicals used for personal hygiene have also been ...
From an environmental perspective, the issue of residual Chlorhexidine in water bodies has also attracted the attention of some environmental organizations. As a persistent chemical substance, Chlorhexidine is difficult to naturally degrade in aquatic environments and may pose certain hazards to aquatic e...
humans encounter a variety of hazards on a regular basis. While it's not healthy to be anxious about these threats per se, it is a good idea to keep tabs on them to protect life and property. However, many of us are so focused on immediate threats that we may not give any dangers ...
