Climate Change – How pollution and other environmental effects can affect human DNA (Andrew Krosofsky, WEF)

  • Gene expression can be altered by environmental factors such as food, drugs or exposure to toxins, according to Duke Magazine.
  • These changes can range from small to so significant that certain genes in our system can be turned off or on when they are supposed to be the opposite way.
  • Alterations in gene expression can be passed on from parent to child.
  • Factors such as light, temperature and pollution could permanently alter our DNA and gene expression, particularly as climate change continues.
