Environmental Pollution and Animal Behavior: A Forerunner to Promote Health and Well Being
The medical community has been made aware of toxicological disaster by animal behavior, frequently long before negative health effects in humans.An animal's first indication that it is uncomfortable in its surroundings is a change in its usual conduct, which should not be disregarded.A change in animal behavior within an ecosystem may indicate that the environment is not suited for humans as well.Although an animal's sensitivity to a pollutant varies by species, almost all pollutants have the potential to cause more or less obvious behavioral changes, increased susceptibility to stressors and diseases, respiratory system damage, neurological issues, decreased production and reproduction, etc. Chemicals, geochemicals, biological, and physical entities that humans purposefully or unintentionally release into the environment and have negative impacts are known as environmental pollutants.A frequent bioindicator of environmental pollution is aquatic life, insects, and other species.
