Negative environmental impacts on health and wellbeing
INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
AIR POLLUTION: Triggers asthma, cardiovascular disease, stroke, adverse birth outcomes, and premature death.
CONTAMINATED WATER: Leads to gastrointestinal illness, neurological damage (e.g., lead exposure), kidney disease, and developmental harm in children.
POOR HOUSING CONDITIONS: For example, dust, mold, dampness and pests exacerbate asthma and allergies, increase respiratory infections, and can affect mental health.
NOISE POLLUTION: Contributes to stress, sleep disruption, hypertension, heart disease, anxiety, and reduced cognitive performance.
CHEMICAL AND TOXIC EXPOSURES: Cleaning solutions, non-VOC paints and epoxy, for example, raise the risks of cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and long-term organ damage.
EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
AIR POLLUTION: Triggers asthma, cardiovascular disease, stroke, adverse birth outcomes, and premature death.
EXTREME HEAT AND URBAN HEAT ISLANDS: Cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke, dehydration, worsens chronic illnesses, and increases mortality risk.
CONTAMINATED WATER: Leads to gastrointestinal illness, neurological damage (e.g., lead exposure), kidney disease, and developmental harm in children.
NOISE POLLUTION: Contributes to stress, sleep disruption, hypertension, heart disease, anxiety, and reduced cognitive performance.
CHEMICAL AND TOXIC EXPOSURES: Cleaning solutions, non-VOC paints and epoxy, for example, raise the risks of cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and long-term organ damage.
FLOODING AND CLIMATE RELATED DISASTERS: Cause injuries, displacement, trauma, mold exposure, and long-term mental health impacts.
LACK OF GREEN SPACE: Associated with higher stress, depression, obesity, and reduced opportunities for physical activity and social connection.
FOOD AND SOIL CONTAMINATION: Introduce heavy metals and pesticides into diets, affecting neurological, immune, and metabolic health.
