Description:Humans experience the environment in which they live as an assemblage of physical, chemical, biological, social, cultural and economic conditions which differ according to the local geography, infrastructure, season, time of day and activity undertaken. The environmental threats to human health can be divided into "traditional hazards" associated with lack of development, and "modern hazards" associated with unsustainable development.
