Abstract:

This study introduces a new paradigm for managing heavy metal contamination, integrating widespread environmental monitoring with individuallevel biological risk assessment. Through the analysis of hair mineralograms and their correlation with systemic inflammatory markers derived from blood counts, we highlight heterogeneous, patchy environmental contamination and its direct impact on the induction of a silent, chronic inflammatory state in exposed populations. This holistic approach provides crucial tools for identifying contamination hotspots, guiding targeted remediation interventions and implementing proactive public health strategies based on early biomarkers of damage
