These are artificial areas
created by humans for a

particulate matter in the air,
toxins in the atmosphere,
 The following should be considered when

WHAT YOU ARE EXPOSED TO:

There are many aspects of the
natural and built environments
that a person are exposed to, and
many of these have health effects.
 The following should be considered when exposed in the
environment:
