Declining or Waning
- Traditional Heavy Metal Studies:
Research on the impacts of heavy metals, while still relevant, has seen a decline as newer contaminants like microplastics and pharmaceuticals gain attention. - Single-Pollutant Studies:
There is a noticeable shift toward studying the combined effects of multiple pollutants rather than isolating single pollutants, reflecting a more integrated approach to environmental health. - Historical Pollution Trends:
While historical assessments remain important, there is a decreasing emphasis on retrospective studies as funding and interest shift toward current and emerging pollutants. - Localized Pollution Studies:
Research focusing exclusively on localized pollution effects is declining as there is a growing recognition of the need for global perspectives and interconnectedness in environmental issues. - Static Risk Assessment Models:
The traditional static models for assessing environmental risks are being replaced by more dynamic and predictive models that account for changing environmental conditions.
