Environmental disease is basically a disease you can get caused by the physical factors of the environment.

For example, you can get skin cancer by spending excessive time in the sun. It is caused by ultraviolet radiation exposure in sunlight.

Illnesses and conditions caused by factors in the environment are collectively called environmental diseases. Pesticides, chemicals, radiation, air pollution, and water pollution, are some of the manmade hazards that are believed to contribute to human illnesses.
