Abstract

Environmental pollution is one of the most important global problems, significantly affecting the health of ecosystems and human communities.According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2021), around 90% of the world's population lives in areas where air quality does not meet international standards, contributing to respiratory problems and chronic diseases. For this reason, water bodies face increasing deterioration due to anthropogenic activity and natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions (Hernández et al., 2020).
