environmental exposures and human health  

Definition(s)

  • A growing body of scientific evidence supports the idea that most disease states cannot be simply explained by inherited genetic mutations but are the result of biological perturbations initiated by various environmental factors. Evaluating the impact of environmental exposures on biological systems, an intriguing and fascinating field, is at the same time a highly dynamic topic, filled with controversy and debate.
