Environmental Risk Factors
Environmental risk factors refer to various elements in the environment that have the potential to negatively impact human health and well-being. These factors can include exposure to pollutants, chemicals, radiation, and other harmful substances in the air, water, soil, and food sources. Additionally, environmental risk factors can also encompass factors such as climate change, natural disasters, and habitat destruction, all of which can contribute to increased health risks and disease development in human populations. It is important to identify and mitigate these risk factors in order to protect public health and promote environmental sustainability.
