What is Environmental factor?
An '''environmental factor''' (also called '''eco factor''') is any factor which influences living [[organism]]s. Abiotic factors include ambient [[temperature]]s, the amounts of [[sunlight]] and [[PH]] of [[water]] soil in which organisms live. Biotic factors include the availability of [[food]] organisms and the presence of [[predator]]s, [[parasite]]s and [[competitor]]s. [[Cancer]]s are often related to environmental factors.<ref>{{cite report|title=Cancer is Not Just Bad Luck|publisher=The BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/health-35111449|access-date=September 27, 2019}}</ref> Having a [[healthy diet]], healthy weight, limiting [[alcoholic drink]]s and quitting or not starting [[tobacco|smoking]] cuts down the risks of getting cancer.
