六十年前，雷切尔·卡森（Rachel Carson）出版了她的书《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring），该书使全世界都关注农药的危险。从那时起，人类对环境的影响加速，其中包括重塑化学景观。在这里，我们评估了热带陆地哺乳动物接触杀虫剂、药品、塑料、与森林火灾相关的颗粒物和纳米颗粒的严重程度。我们考虑这些环境污染物如何彼此相互作用、与哺乳动物的内分泌和微生物组系统以及其他环境变化相互作用，从而产生比最初预期更大的负面影响。利用这一背景并以过去的保护成功（例如修复臭氧层和减少酸雨）为基础，我们解决了如何制定有意义的政策和保护计划（包括考虑化学景观）的难题。我们记录了改善化学环境的政策解决方案已经众所周知，并且如何建设更健康的地球的道路是清晰的。
Sixty years ago, Rachel Carson published her bookSilent Spring, which focused the world's attention on the dangers of pesticides. Since that time human impacts on the environment have accelerated and this has included reshaping the chemical landscape. Here we evaluate the severity of exposure of tropical terrestrial mammals to pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastics, particulate matter associated with forest fires, and nanoparticles. We consider how these environmental contaminants interact with one another, with the endocrine and microbiome systems of mammals, and with other environmental changes to produce a larger negative impact than might initially be expected. Using this background and building on past conservation success, such as mending the ozone layer and decreasing acid rain, we tackle the difficult issue of how to construct meaningful policies and conservation plans that include a consideration of the chemical landscape. We document that policy solutions to improving the chemical landscape are already known and the path of how to construct a healthier planet is discernible.
