Human Environmental Hazards
The four major categories of human environmental hazards are Cultural Hazards, Biological
Hazards, Physical Hazards, and Chemical Hazards. Biological hazards are diseases and viruses.
Physical hazards are the result of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes.
Chemical hazard is the result of chemicals that cause harm. Cultural is hazards that are
based on how we live.
Cultural Hazards
Cultural hazards are more like self conflicted hazards. Humans smoke cigarettes, do illegal
drugs, drink alcohol, over eat, and even having unprotected sex. All of these are
hazards that put our own lives in danger and we can’t blame anyone but our selves
Biological Hazards
Biological hazards are hazards that are simply passed from one person to another. Viruses that
are air born or passed on by touching infected items and the putting our hands in our mouth. An
example of theses hazards are the flu (Influenza), staff infections (Staphylococcus aureus), the
common cold & strep throat (Streptococcal pharyngitis)
Physical Hazards
Physical hazards are hazards that we have absolutely no control over. They are usually
devitalizing natural disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes, wild

and tsunamis.
Chemical Hazards
Chemical hazards are hazards that are sometimes unknown accidents or even because of
uneducated or uninformed situations. I have often wondered if it was harmful for human to be
living near sewage treatment
