Abstract

Environmental Pollutants and Public Health Risks

Overview: This study discusses the detrimental effects of various environmental pollutants, including electromagnetic fields (EMFs), on public health. These pollutants are linked to numerous chronic diseases and systemic health conditions.

Findings:

• Environmental pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, and EMFs are associated with the promotion of cancer, heart disease, and other age-related chronic diseases.
• The mechanism involves interference with mitochondrial function, leading to oxidative stress.
• Specific examples like glyphosate, fluoride, and EMFs are emphasized. They affect mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, causing mitochondrial dysfunction.

Specific Health Risks Linked to Electromagnetic Fields:

• Cataracts, infertility, and congenital malformations.
• More severe conditions include cancer, leukemia, and various cardiovascular and neurological abnormalities.

Conclusion: The aggregation of environmental pollutants, prominently electromagnetic fields, fosters mitochondrial dysfunction. This dysfunction underpins a range of severe conditions, notably in carcinogenesis and aging processes.
