diseases such as malaria and dengue fever will affect larger geographic areas as
the vectors that carry the diseases find agreeable climates in expanding areas.
Climate change will also affect air quality. The WHO estimates that 300,000 million
people have asthma and will face increased disease burden from climate change.
There is no association of increased incidence of lung cancer with climate
change.

Feedback: An exposure pathway is the method by which people are exposed to
an environmental contaminant that originates from a specific source. Exposure is a
measure of the total amount of a contaminant that comes in direct contact with the
body. An exposure estimate is a method of determining a person's level of
exposure to a contaminant on the basis of associated factors. An exposure history
is a process to help determine whether an individual has been exposed to
environmental contaminants.
