Description
Katrin Steul, Sabine Meyer, and Yanfeng Xue review how physical features of the environment can harm human health. They cover noise, fine dust in its several size classes down to ultrafine particles, radiation in forms from electromagnetic fields to radioactivity, and climate, with heat as the main concern. For each factor they trace how exposure reaches the body and how it acts once there.
Studies of whole populations show the health effects at real-world levels, and the authors weigh the limits of that evidence as well. The review serves as a compact map of the physical side of environmental health. It sets out where the hazards are clear and where study methods still leave room for doubt.
