What Types of Physical Exposures Are Commonly Studied?
Several types of physical exposures are commonly studied in epidemiology:
Radiation: Includes ionizing (e.g., X-rays) and non-ionizing radiation (e.g., UV light). Noise: Chronic exposure to high noise levels can lead to hearing loss and other health issues. Temperature: Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can cause various health problems such as heatstroke or hypothermia. Ergonomic Stress: Poor ergonomic practices can lead to musculoskeletal disorders.
