15 de ene. de 2021 · Among these, we identified 64 environmental exposures defined as risk factors and 4 environmental protective factors. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the latest available evidence on environmental exposures and health outcomes.
Estimating environmental health impacts. In 2016, as much as 24% of all deaths worldwide were attributable to the environment. Factors include air pollution, water and sanitation, increasing heat waves and severe weather events, harmful exposure to chemicals and more.
15 de ene. de 2021 · The environmental factors found in this review were air pollution, environmental tobacco smoke, heavy metals, chemicals, ambient temperature, noise, radiation, and urban residential surroundings. Among these, we identified 65 environmental exposures defined as risk factors and 4 environmental protective factors.
3 de dic. de 2022 · The Global Burden of Disease project considers 26 environmental and occupational risk factors in their estimations . Such risk factors are those that have enough evidence to be translated with available global exposure data to quantify their impact across the globe.
Key facts. Approximately 83 million people still do not have adequate sanitation systems of which 15.6 million people still practice open defecation and 28 million do not have access to improve sources of safe drinking water, resulting in about 30 thousand preventable deaths each year;
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. We have now updated this estimate using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuriaes, and Risk Factors Study 2019.
Several modifiable environmental factors—such as outdoor air pollution, household air pollution, drinking water contamination, occupational exposure to hazardous materials, lead exposure, and built environments that discourage physical activity—influence the risk and experience of chronic disease.
