Question

which of the following groups of individuals is at the highest risk for environmentally induced health risks?
a. infants
b. teenagers
c. college students
d. adults

Explanation:

Infants have developing bodies and immune systems. Their smaller size means they are exposed to proportionally higher amounts of environmental toxins (e.g., via breathing, skin contact). Also, their organ systems (like liver for detoxification) are not fully mature, making it harder for them to process and eliminate harmful environmental substances compared to teenagers, college students, or adults.

Answer:

A. infants
