MANY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE IMMUNE SUPPRESSION (IMMUNODEFICIENCY)

An environmental factor is anything that originates outside your body but can get inside your body. it can get into your body by inhaling it, eating or drinking it, or absorbed after skin contact.In that sense, many of the other categories, such as drugs, chemicals, etc. are environmental factors. Others are not in any of the other categories.

Here are some examples:
Cigarette smoke - firsthand and secondhand

Alcohol - usually consumed as an alcoholic beverage: beer, wine, and various "hard liquors"

 The environment of the southern hemisphere of Planet Earth is generally in much better shape than its northern counterpart, and surely that gap widened after the massive nuclear fallout from Fukushima, and Chernobyl before that. Moreover, the wars of the US imperialist plutocracy are fought mostly in the northern hemisphere, and the pollution from US/NATO military operations is of epic proportions.
