HI THERE..

I NEEDD YOR HELP TO EXPLAIN HOW ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS CAN AFFECT HUMAN HEALTH..
WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO BE TALKING ABOUT?

I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE


Answer
Dear Umayr,

I can't do your homework for you, but I can give you some hints.

First, consider some of the environmental factors that YOU encounter every day:  drinking water quality, air quality (polluted or not?), human crowding, sanitation, etc.  I'm sure you can think of many other things in your environment that affect you.  There are literally thousands of things.

How does each of these affect your health and wellbeing when they are (1) good or (2) bad?  Then expand this to include the entire human population, and you'll be on your way.

Good luck!
Dana
