5. Impact
• WHO help in transport, agriculture and housing
have profound impacts on health. For
instance, transport is a major factor in traffic
injuries, air pollution and noise. But "healthy
transport policies" can help reduce these risks, as
well as promoting walking and cycling. In
agriculture, fertilizers and pesticides may boost crop
yields. But wise use is important to protect farm
workers and consumers from excessive chemical
exposure.
