In epidemiology,<unk> s are<unk> s that can be directly attributed to environmental factors (as distinct from genetic factors or infection). Apart from the true monogenic genetic disorders, which are rare, environment is a major determinant of the development of<unk> . Diet, exposure to toxins, pathogens, radiation, and chemicals found in almost all personal care products and household cleaners, stress, racism, and physical and mental abuse are causes of a large segment of non-hereditary<unk> . If a<unk>  process is concluded to be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factor influences, its etiological origin can be referred to as having a multifactorial pattern. There are many different types of<unk>  including: *<unk>  caused by physical factors in the environment, such as skin cancer caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight *<unk>  caused by exposure to toxic or irritant chemicals in the environment such as toxic metals<unk>  caused by exposures to toxins from biologic agents in the environment, such as aflatoxicosis from molds that produce aflatoxin<unk>  caused by exposure to toxic social factors in the environment, such as racism *Lifestyle<unk>  such as cardiovascular<unk> ,<unk> s caused by substance abuse such as alcoholism, and smoking-related<unk>
