Abstract

Among the factors of environmental pollution, lead contamination remains a pressing global health issue. Global warming and associated extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, significantly impact the migration of lead-containing dust in soil, water, and air. Rising temperatures also increase lead accumulation in plants, leading to higher concentrations of this toxic metal in food, household products, and others. Consequently, this situation is directly linked to an increased frequency of various health problems.
