Chemical contaminants refer to any substance that is present in the environment, food, or water supply that is not naturally occurring and could potentially cause harm to human health or the environment. These contaminants can come from a variety of sources such as industrial pollution, agricultural runoff, or improper waste disposal. Research in this area focuses on identifying and monitoring these contaminants, understanding their health and environmental effects, and developing strategies for mitigation and remediation. This field is important for protecting human health and the environment from the potential risks associated with exposure to harmful chemicals.
