Mortality risks with poor sanitation
Environmental problems represent major threats to the health, quality of life, and longevity of people residing in all countries, but arguably more so in the developing world.

Do you think the risks to quality of life and longevity associated with these factors are greater for children or adults? Provide an example or statistic from your research to illustrate your point.
