Which statements describe environmental aspects of health promotion?

• A. Living in a non-toxic environment, working in a non-toxic environment, attending school in a non-toxic environment, and availability of local resources to promote health
• B. Access to fast food and sedentary work
• C. Only hospital-based sanitation
• D. Genetic predispositions

Answer: (A)

Environmental aspects of health promotion focus on the settings and conditions that shape health—our homes, workplaces, schools, and the surrounding community—and the resources that help people make healthy choices. The statement that includes living, working, and attending school in non-toxic environments along with the availability of local resources to promote health captures this idea, because it addresses both safe environments and access to support that encourages healthy behaviors.

Why the other options don’t fit: having access to fast food and a sedentary work lifestyle points to factors that can harm health, not promote it. Focusing only on hospital-based sanitation covers just one healthcare setting and misses the broader environmental context. Genetic predispositions are intrinsic biological factors, not environmental ones, so they aren’t describing environmental aspects of health promotion.
