Environmental Stress

2016
The physical environment affects people in many ways, how they feel, what they think and how they act. When the demands of the physical environment outweigh an individual’s ability to deal with those demands, stress occurs. Environmental stress refers to a negative subjective psychological response to an environmental stimulus.

Environmental stress, psychological stress and allostatic load

Psychology, Health & Medicine, 2007
The mechanism by which chronic caregiving stress results in poor health is not well understood. The objective was to determine whether such a mechanism may be allostatic load, a novel concept specifying physiological systems that may suffer cumulative wear and tear following chronic stress, leading collectively to poor health.

Stress, Environmental

2001
Environmental stress is an action, agent, or condition that impairs the structure or function of a biological system. This environmental stress can be natural, like hurricanes, droughts, floods and fires for example, or anthropogenic, meaning resulting from human actions._ Both natural and anthropogenic environmental stresses can be characterized based

Environmental Stress Testing

AT&T Technical Journal, 1994
Environmental stress testing (EST) is a means of systematically improving the reliability of electronic systems. In this paper, we discuss: — The background and rationale for EST; — The utility of accelerated testing to achieve robust design margins, high component quality, and well-controlled manufacturing processes; — Various issues that must be ...

Environmental Stress Cracking

2022
AbstractWhile there are many fracture mechanisms that can lead to the failure of a plastic component, environmental stress cracking (ESC) is recognized as one of the leading causes of plastic failure. This article focuses on unpacking the basic concepts of ESC to provide the engineer with a better understanding of how to evaluate and prevent it.

Environmental pollution stress

1994
Plants are polluted, prevent pollution and pollute. This statement summarizes modes of interaction of plants with environmental stress, but the focus of this chapter will be on the effects of environmental pollution on plants. This type of pollution can be grouped into two categories: xenobiotic and biotic pollution.

Environmental Stress Models

2003
In chapters 2 to 4 we discussed several models of extinction which make use of ideas drawn from the study of critical phenomena. The primary impetus for this approach was the observation of apparent power-law distributions in a variety of statistics drawn from the fossil record, as discussed in section 1.2; in other branches of science such power laws ...

Oxidative stress from environmental exposures

Current Opinion in Toxicology, 2018
Oxidative stress is arguably the most common mechanism in the toxicology of environmental agents, unifying the action of broad classes of physichochemically disparate environmental pollutants, including oxidant gases, organic compounds, particulate surfaces, and metal ions.
