Toxicology and the impact of pollution on human health

[Ly0n]

The topic "Toxicology and the effects of pollution on human health" is missing in our data set. A search for keywords and relevant topics would be interesting. Such projects also need their own subcategory. Here are some examples:

@Ly0n - I would not mind helping out here. Do you need these links added to a ReadMe file or what are you thinking?

@chadeckles Thanks for helping us out here. You can add them to OpenSustain.tech if you like, but you will see that we lack the category for such projects. In the past I have added some toxicology projects to water supply or soil, depending on where these toxins are analysed. You could also open another category in Natural Resources called Toxicology.

In general, I find it extremely difficult to identify which keywords, topics and projects are relevant here, but I know it is an extremely relevant topic that is sometimes overlooked. A good place to start would be the Planetary Boundaries. This could help us to find the right keywords for more relevant projects in this space:

9. Novel entities.	Percentage of synthetic chemicals released into the environment without adequate safety testing. Here is another definition. Chemical pollution (introduction of novel entities into the environment).

We could also include here some of the radiation measurement projects this here:
