Abstract:
Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a pivotal mechanism in understanding the toxicological effects of various environmental pollutants. This short review delves into the intricate pathways of ferroptosis, its induction by diverse environmental toxicants, and the subsequent implications for human health. By elucidating and understanding pathways involved in environmental exposures and ferroptosis, we aim to shed light on potential therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies. Furthermore, identifications of biomarkers of ferroptosis will aid in monitoring ferroptosis-induced diseases/tissue damage, promoting the development of targeted therapies.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
