Environmental exposures

Environmental exposures refer to the contact between people and various environmental factors that can affect health. These factors include air and water pollution, chemicals in food, noise, radiation, and even climate-related issues. When individuals are exposed to harmful substances or conditions—like smog, pesticides, or extreme temperatures—they may experience adverse health effects, ranging from respiratory issues to long-term diseases. Understanding these exposures helps us recognize the importance of a clean environment for well-being and encourages efforts to reduce harmful interactions between people and their surroundings.
