This exploratory narrative review paper delves into the intricate interplay between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure, sociodemographic factors, influence of stressors in context endometrial cancer. PFAS, ubiquitous environmental contaminants notorious for their persistence ecosystem, have garnered attention potential to disrupt endocrine systems provoke immune responses. We comprehensively examine various sources PFAS encompassing household items, water, air, soil, thus shedding light on multifaceted routes through which individuals encounter these compounds. Furthermore, we explore such as income, education, occupation, ethnicity/race, geographical location relationship cancer risk. also investigated role stress exposure The results revealed a significant impact factors both levels Stress emerged notable contributing factor influencing development cancer, further emphasizing importance management practices overall well-being. By synthesizing evidence from diverse fields, this underscores need interdisciplinary research targeted interventions address complex stressors,

Heavy metals, common environmental pollutants with widespread distribution hazards and several health problems linked to them are distinguished from other toxic compounds by their bioaccumulation in living organisms. They pollute the food chain threaten of animals. Biologically, heavy metals exhibit both beneficial harmful effects. Certain essential such as Co, Mn, Se, Zn, Mg play crucial roles vital physiological processes trace amounts, while others like As, Pb, Hg, Cd, Cu widely recognized for properties. Regardless functions, an excess intake all beyond tolerance limit can lead toxicity. Animals face exposure through contaminated feed water, primarily a result anthropogenic pollution. After ingestion persist body extended duration nature dictates whether they induce acute or chronic, clinical subclinical, subtle toxicities. The effects disruption cellular homeostasis generation free radicals that develop oxidative stress. In cases metal poisoning, characteristic symptoms may arise, potentially culminating death animals corresponding necropsy findings. Chronic toxicities manifest decline overall condition scoring decrease production potential Elevated levels consumable animal products raise public concerns. Timely diagnosis, targeted antidotes, management strategies significantly mitigate impact on livestock health, productivity, reproductive performance.

Toxicity with heavy metals has proven to be a significant hazard several health problems linked it. Heavy bioaccumulate in living organisms, pollute the food chain, and possibly threaten of animals. Many industries, fertilizers, traffic, automobile, paint, groundwater, animal feed are sources contamination metals. Few metals, such as aluminum (Al), may eliminated by elimination processes, but other like lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Ca) accumulate body leading chronic toxicity Even if these have no biological purpose, their toxic effects still present some form that is damaging its appropriate functioning. Cadmium (Cd) Pb negative impacts on number physiological biochemical processes when exposed sub-lethal doses. The nephrotoxic Pb, As, Cd well known, high amounts naturally occurring environmental occupational populations exposures an adverse relationship between kidney damage metal exposure.

Background Infertility has been confirmed as a significant medical and social problem. Heavy metal exposure refers to risk factor for infertility, which is capable of damaging the reproductive system males females. However, heavy female infertility have rarely investigated. The aim this study was analyze association between infertility. Methods A cross-sectional using data from three cycles National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013–2018) performed. Female evaluated by positive responses question rhq074 in questionnaire. Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) levels blood or urine were examined inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. correlation analyzed through weighted logistic regression. Results total 838 American women aged 20–44 years covered study.
