Abstract
Xenobiotics are chemicals that are foreign to a biological system. The term is derived from Greek, where “xenos” means stranger or foreign, and “bios” means life. These substances do not originate from natural processes within the body and include a vast array of compounds from pharmaceuticals and pesticides to industrial chemicals and environmental pollutants. Understanding xenobiotics is crucial for assessing their impact on human health, ecosystems, and the environment
