Before revision: The definition of modifiable environment included: Air, soil, and water pollution with chemicals or biological agents Ultraviolet and ionizing radiation Noise and electromagnetic fields Built environment Agricultural methods and irrigation schemes Man-made climate change and ecosystem degradation Occupational risks, including exposure to long working hours Individual behaviors, such as hand-washing and food contamination due to unsafe water or dirty hands Certain environmental factors were excluded from this definition: Indoor smoke from solid fuel use Lead Mercury Natural climate change (as opposed to human-caused climate change) Occupational airborne particulates or carcinogens Outdoor air pollution Sanitation and hygiene problems Second-hand smoke Solar ultraviolet radiation Estimation The WHO developed a methodology to quantify the health of a population using summary measures, which combine information on mortality and non-fatal health outcomes.
