Air pollution

Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances called pollutants in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings, or cause damage to the climate or to materials. Health effect and air pollution are pollution.

See Health effect and Air pollution

Caffeine

Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class.

See Health effect and Caffeine

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

See Health effect and Cancer

Environmental health

Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment affecting human health. Health effect and Environmental health are determinants of health.

See Health effect and Environmental health

Health

Health has a variety of definitions, which have been used for different purposes over time.

See Health effect and Health

Health effects of alcohol

Health effects of alcohol may refer to.

See Health effect and Health effects of alcohol

Health effects of coal ash

Coal ash, also known as coal combustion residuals (CCRs), is the mineral residue that remains from burning coal. Health effect and Health effects of coal ash are health effects by subject.

See Health effect and Health effects of coal ash

Health effects of pesticides

Health effects of pesticides may be acute or delayed in those who are exposed. Health effect and Health effects of pesticides are health effects by subject.

See Health effect and Health effects of pesticides

Health effects of tobacco

Tobacco products, especially when smoked or used orally, have serious negative effects on human health. Health effect and health effects of tobacco are health effects by subject.

See Health effect and Health effects of tobacco

Health impact of asbestos

All types of asbestos fibers are known to cause serious health hazards in humans. Health effect and health impact of asbestos are health effects by subject.

See Health effect and Health impact of asbestos

Health impacts of sawdust

Any type of woodworking that involves cutting, either by hand or machine, releases sawdust (or wood dust). Health effect and Health impacts of sawdust are health effects by subject.

See Health effect and Health impacts of sawdust

Hygiene

Hygiene is a set of practices performed to preserve health.

See Health effect and Hygiene

Light pollution

Light pollution is the presence of any unwanted, inappropriate, or excessive artificial lighting. Health effect and light pollution are pollution.

See Health effect and Light pollution

Noise pollution

Noise pollution, or sound pollution, is the propagation of noise or sound with ranging impacts on the activity of human or animal life, most of which are harmful to a degree. Health effect and noise pollution are pollution.

See Health effect and Noise pollution

Occupational safety and health

Occupational safety and health (OSH) or occupational health and safety (OHS) is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work (i.e., while performing duties required by one's occupation).

See Health effect and Occupational safety and health

Outline of health sciences

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to health sciences: Health sciences – those sciences that focus on health, or health care, as core parts of their subject matter.

See Health effect and Outline of health sciences

Pollution

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Health effect and Pollution are determinants of health.

See Health effect and Pollution

Probability

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur.

See Health effect and Probability

Risk factor

In epidemiology, a risk factor or determinant is a variable associated with an increased risk of disease or infection.

See Health effect and Risk factor

Safety data sheet

A safety data sheet (SDS), material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.

See Health effect and Safety data sheet

Smoke

Smoke is a suspension of airborne particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass. Health effect and Smoke are pollution.

See Health effect and Smoke

The social determinants of health (SDOH) are the economic and social conditions that influence individual and group differences in health status. Health effect and social determinants of health are determinants of health.

See Health effect and Social determinants of health

Societal impacts of cars

Since the start of the twentieth century, the role of cars has become highly important, though controversial.

See Health effect and Societal impacts of cars

Soil contamination

Soil contamination, soil pollution, or land pollution as a part of land degradation is caused by the presence of xenobiotic (human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. Health effect and soil contamination are pollution.

See Health effect and Soil contamination

Stochastic

Stochastic refers to the property of being well-described by a random probability distribution.

See Health effect and Stochastic

Water pollution

Water pollution (or aquatic pollution) is the contamination of water bodies, with a negative impact on their uses. Health effect and water pollution are pollution.
