Several environmental risk factors have been identified through epidemiological studies, including:
Air Pollution: Particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide are common pollutants. Water Contamination: Pathogens, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants in water sources. Chemical Exposures: Pesticides, industrial chemicals, and household cleaning agents. Occupational Hazards: Exposure to harmful substances or conditions in the workplace. Climate Change: Extreme weather events and shifts in disease patterns.
