Human health impacts

Human health impacts refer to how exposure to environmental factors or substances can affect our well-being. This may include illnesses, increased risk of diseases, or changes in physical or mental functioning. For example, pollution can cause respiratory problems, and contaminated water may lead to infections. These impacts depend on the type and level of exposure, duration, and individual health conditions. Protecting human health involves minimizing harmful exposures and promoting environments that support overall physical and mental wellness.
