What Are the Long-Term Implications of Environmental Exposure?
Long-term exposure to environmental hazards during childhood can have lasting effects on health. Chronic respiratory conditions, cognitive impairments, and developmental delays are some of the potential outcomes. Early exposure to pollutants and toxins can also increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer later in life. Therefore, understanding and mitigating these risks from an early age is critical for long-term health and well-being.
