Environmental Toxicology in COVID-19

Barriers to appropriate disposal techniques should be removed as much as feasible to enhance public compliance. However, we must evaluate the impact of such rules on marginalised groups and ensure that they do not exacerbate existing socioeconomic and health disparities . It's crucial to remember that individual and community ability to follow disposal standards varies based on public awareness, socioeconomic factors, and health-care infrastructure. Simultaneously, we must develop disposal rules that take into account environmental injustice and the hard truth that people in poverty are more likely to be exposed to pollutants. Mask disposal recommendations must strike a compromise between the requirement for strong COVID-19 preventive measures in high-risk locations and the resources available.
