Chemical Pollution

Chemical Pollution is a planetary-scale environmental stressor within the Earth system, distinguished from other pollution types by the pervasive introduction and persistence of anthropogenic toxic substances—such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and industrial chemicals—into marine and terrestrial ecosystems, thereby disrupting biogeochemical processes and exceeding the planet’s capacity for resilience and regeneration.
