This book, titled "Environmental Impacts on Clinical Biochemistry and Diagnostic Pathology," explores the critical and often overlooked role of environmental factors in human health and disease. It highlights how issues such as climate instability, industrialization, and pollution-from heavy metals, pesticides, and other organic contaminants-can profoundly affect physiological functions and complicate health outcomes. The book emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach between environmental science and medicine to address these urgent, interconnected challenges.

It delves into how environmental factors can interfere with clinical biochemistry and diagnostic pathology, fields that are essential for diagnosing and monitoring diseases. The book discusses how contaminants can alter sample integrity, leading to inaccurate test results and potentially misdiagnosis. It also examines the influence of physical factors like temperature, humidity, and radiation on the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic tests. The text further explores the effects of environmental pollution on human health, including its role in diseases and its impact on the efficacy of diagnostic procedures. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex relationship between the environment and the fields of clinical biochemistry and diagnostic pathology.
