Answer:

1. Distance from immediate medical care

2. Adverse travel conditions

3. Difficulties in telecommunication

Step-by-step explanation:

An environmental factor is a term that describes both the abiotic or biotic factor that affects living organisms in one way or the other.

1. Abiotic factors such as temperature, sunlight, pollutants, pH level etc around living organisms.

2. Biotic factors such as the availability of food, presence of biological specificity, existence of competitors around, predators, and parasites.

Hence, in this case, environmental factors that can create a delay in advanced medical care, are:

1. Distance from immediate medical care

2. Adverse travel conditions

3. Difficulties in telecommunication
