 | Air quality
Emission of air pollutants from transport, industry, heating and other sources can be harmful to health. Indoor air pollution can also pose risks to health.
|  | Mobility and transport
Transport-related health effects can be direct (injuries) and indirect (through air pollution, noise and climate change related to emissions from traffic, but also through reduced physical activity).
|
 | Food safety
Contamination by microbiological or chemical agents can occur in many points of the food chain, causing a wide range of acute and chronic diseases.
|  | Housing
A number of environmental risk factors, such as dampness and radon, can make dwellings unhealthy. Household safety is also a concern as many injuries occur at home.
|
 | Chemical safety
Hazardous chemicals, naturally occurring or man-made, can reach our body through different routes (e.g., food, air, water) and cause a variety of health effects.
|  | UV and ionizing radiation
High exposure to solar and other types of radiation can cause cancer. Children are most at risk from excess exposure to UV radiation.
|
 | Water and sanitation
Sanitation and access to clean water are a basic requirement for health. Poor water quality or lack of access to water have major public health impacts.
|  | Occupational hazards
Accidents, dust, chemicals, noise, violence or stress at work can cause a wide range of effects from premature death and injuries to occupational diseases.
