    I believe that environmental factors always has some sort of contribution to our health and issues with health. Our body survives on air, water, conditions such as temperature, etc. If contaminated air and water is continuously being filtered into your body, how could it not have some sort of impact or effect on your resulting health and well being and functionality.
