ref improve date April 2012 Health effects or health impacts are changes in health resulting from exposure to a source. Health effects are an important consideration in many areas, such as hygiene , pollution studies, workplace safety , nutrition and health sciences in general. Some of the major environmental sources of health effects are air pollution , water pollution , soil contamination , noise pollution and over illumination . A non stochastic or deterministic health effect has a severity that is dependent on dose and is believed to have a threshold level for which no effect is seen. Stochastic health effects occur by chance, generally occurring without a threshold level of dose, whose probability is proportional to the dose and whose severity is independent of the dose, such as cancer and genetic effects. Occasionally, lack of exposure to certain effectors has detrimental consequences on an individual s health. Examples of such effectors include sunlight and exercise.

Telemental Health is the use of telecommunication s technology to provide mental health services to individuals in communities or locations that are underserviced, typically as a result of geographic isolation. Examples of telemental health services include providing health workers in remote areas with continuing education on mental health topics, videoconferenced consultations on routine and urgent mental health cases using a virtual case management team, and providing direct mental health care services through two way interactive systems. One of the most controversial telemental health care applications is providing treatment services over the Internet directly. There are many encrypted technologies that are HIPAA compliant and in use by private practitioners, private clinic networks, hospitals and government agencies. ref http www.telementalhealthcomparisons.com ref While telecommunications have been used for decades to provide some mental health services usually on an emergency basis or for experimental purposes , it was only in the 1990s that telemental health care services truly came into their own. Despite the early success of telemental health care services however, wide scale implementation remains dependent on policy and funding initiatives although the outlook remains positive.

Health interventions may be run by a variety of organizations, including health department s and private organizations.
