Toxicity priority pollutants include

Toxicity priority pollutants are substances identified as particularly hazardous due to their toxicity or potential to negatively impact human health and the environment. Arsenic, cadmium, and vinyl chloride all fall under this category.

Arsenic is a toxic metalloid that can contaminate water and soil, posing severe health risks, including cancer and other toxic effects.

Cadmium is another toxic metal with significant health risks, including kidney damage and effects on bone health, while also being a contaminant in certain industrial processes.

Vinyl chloride is a synthetic organic compound known for its use in making PVC plastic; it is classified as a human carcinogen and poses serious health risks upon exposure.

Each of these substances has been recognized by regulatory agencies as needing closer monitoring and control, leading to their classification as priority pollutants due to their significant risks to public health and ecosystems. Therefore, including all three as priority pollutants underscores the importance of managing and regulating these substances proactively.
