Population
Density
WHO cites
overcrowding
(people per room)
as a rick to
increase spread of
disease. A linear
trend was used for
relassification to
reflect this relation.
Infection/parasites
and repiratory
diseases
Industrial
Impact
There is an
approximately a
linear relation
between air
pollution levels and
associated health
outcomes. At
extremely high
pollution levels,
there is high health
risk.
Repiratory
diseases
There is a (near
linear) relationship
between proximity
to industrial plants
and lung cancer.

health. There is an
