Abstract

This survey reveals a fair degree of awareness of environmental diseases, but also an underestimation of associated mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to improve education and communication on environmental risks through targeted campaigns and educational interventions. Future studies should broaden the sample and analyze percentage differences between subgroups to optimize educational and preventive actions.
