This review examines how air, water, and soil pollution affect public health through a One Health framework, noting that environmental pollutants including microplastics and nanomaterials pose emerging risks. Researchers found that urbanization, industrialization, and climate change are intensifying environmental health threats, with vulnerable populations disproportionately affected. The study emphasizes the need for monitoring, early warning systems, and protective strategies to address deepening health inequalities.
Effects of environmental pollution on wildlife and human Health and novel mitigation strategies
This review examines how environmental pollution from urbanization, industrialization, and chemical misuse affects both wildlife and human health across multiple ecosystems. The study discusses novel mitigation strategies for addressing contamination issues including chemical residues in animal-derived foods and the rising frequency of environment-related toxicity.
Climate Change and Adverse Public Health Impacts on Human Health and Water Resources
This review examines how climate change is creating interconnected threats to public health and freshwater resources worldwide. Researchers found that rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are degrading water quality through increased contamination from pollutants including microplastics. The study highlights the urgent need for integrated strategies that address water management, pollution control, and public health simultaneously.
Environmental Challenges
This overview examines major environmental challenges stemming from human activities, including climate change, poor waste management, water scarcity, and pollution from plastics and microplastics. The study discusses how these interconnected issues threaten ecosystems, biodiversity, and community well-being at local and global scales. It emphasizes the need for coordinated action across multiple levels to address these growing environmental concerns.
Plastic Pollution and Its Effects on Human Health
This review examined how plastics enter the environment through poor disposal and fragmentation, then infiltrate food chains and human bodies via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. The authors summarized health risks from both microplastic particles and their associated chemical additives, calling for stronger global policy responses.

Chemical Pollution of the Aquatic Environment and Health
This review examines how industrialization over three centuries has increased human exposure to synthetic chemicals, many of which persist in the environment and bioaccumulate through food chains. The paper covers a broad range of chemical pollutants including microplastics, arguing that modern chemical exposure represents an underappreciated public health threat.
Human Health Risks due to Exposure to Water Pollution: A Review
This review looks at how water contamination from various sources -- including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals -- threatens public health worldwide. The health effects depend on the type of pollutant and length of exposure, and the paper highlights that microplastics are an emerging concern because they can carry other toxic substances into drinking water.
Climate Change, Environment, and One Health
This review discusses how climate change drives biodiversity loss, air and water pollution, and the spread of microplastics, collectively increasing the burden of non-communicable diseases and putting pressure on healthcare systems, especially in lower-income countries.
Influence of Environmental Contaminants as Mutagens in the Ecosystem
This research review summarizes how chemicals in our environment—like heavy metals, plastics, and pesticides—can damage our DNA and cause harmful changes to our genes. These environmental toxins can lead to cancer, affect how our bodies work, and may even harm future generations by damaging reproductive cells. The study highlights why we need better environmental protection and cleaner practices to protect human health from these everyday chemical exposures.
A review of soil pollution, causes, and health effects
This review summarized the causes, extent, and health effects of soil pollution, covering both natural and anthropogenic sources including industrial activity, agriculture, and urbanization. The paper discussed how soil contamination degrades agricultural productivity, contaminates water resources, and poses direct risks to human health.
Climate Change and Human Health
This paper reviews the relationship between climate change and human health, covering effects of global warming on infectious disease, heat stress, food security, and mental health, and situating these risks within the historical trajectory of anthropogenic climate forcing.
Health Effects of Exposure to Environmental Pollutants
This review examines health effects of environmental pollutants, covering both traditional contaminants like particulate matter and heavy metals and emerging pollutants like nanoparticles and microplastics, synthesizing evidence that these diverse pollutants cause overlapping adverse health outcomes.
The Impact of Plastic Waste on Ecosystems and Human Health and Strategies for Managing It for A Sustainable Environment
This review summarizes the broad impact of plastic waste on ecosystems and human health, covering how plastics break down into micro- and nanoplastics that contaminate soil, water, and air. The authors discuss health risks from plastic exposure including respiratory problems, liver damage, and hormonal disruption. The review calls for better waste management, recycling, and policies to reduce plastic pollution as a public health priority.
