In this chapter, the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals on toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic endpoints, and possible mechanism of actions were discussed. In addition,…

causing health problems in humans because of air pollution and global warming. As the air gets dirtier, water becomes more contaminated and food more tainted, it causes people to become sicker.
