   Environmental and Nutritional Diseases
    • The term environmental disease refers to 
       disorders  caused by exposure to chemical or 
       physical agents in the  ambient, workplace, and 
       personal environments, including diseases of 
       nutritional origin. 
    • Environmental diseases  are surprisingly 
       common. 
    • The International Labor Organization has 
       estimated that work-related injuries and illnesses 
       kill more people per year globally than do road 
       accidents and wars combined.

   •  HEALTHEFFECTS  OF CLIMATE 
      CHANGE
   •  Global temperature measurements 
      show that the earth has  warmed 
      significantly since the early 20th 
      century, and  especially  since  the  
      mid-1960s.  
   •  Record-breaking  global 
      temperatures have become 
      common, with 2005, 2010, 2014 and 
      2015 each setting successive high-
      temperature records. 
   •  Of note, 15 of the 16 warmest years 
      since 1880 have occurred  during the 
      21st century. 
   •  During 2015, the global land 
      temperature was  0.9° C warmer 
      than the 20th century average.
