Explanation:

(ERT) Environmental risk transitions process by which the traditional communities with associated environmental health issues become economically more developed and experience newer health issues, a shift in the character of these environmental changes, and the shift in causes of death and disease. Also demonstrated by the demographic transition theory of the 1940s. When going from a traditional infectious to a nontraditional and noninfectious environment. Development can be measured based on household, community and global framework as the lifestyle disease and other changes in the living standards that lead to a decline in life expectancy from the impact of air, water and foods that leas top untimely deaths.
