Environmental triggers

Environmental triggers

An environmental trigger is a factor caused (or aided) by the environment.

An example of an environmental trigger would be a component of a human's drinking water which holds the possibility of activating (triggering) a change in a person's body. These changes are mainly negative ones.Fact|date=February 2007 Using this example, what is in the drinking water may affect one person entirely different than another - someone may be affected greatly, whereas someone may not be at all. Many cancers (osteosarcoma, etc), along with a plethora of other diseases, are thought to be a result of environmental triggers.Fact|date=February 2007
