About Environmental Quality
The environment directly affects a person’s health status and plays a major role in quality of life, years of healthy life lived, and overall health disparities. Poor air quality is linked to premature death, cancer, and long-term damage to respiratory and cardiovascular systems. An environment free of hazards—including secondhand smoke, carbon monoxide, allergens, lead, and toxic chemicals—helps prevent disease and other health problems. Decreasing air pollution is an important step in creating a healthy environment.
About Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators
