[Stage] Exposure [Link to Structural Funds] Structural Fund programmes can play a role in determining who is exposed to beneficial or adverse factors. [Description] 
Even where there are large effects on the state of the environment, people’s health and well-being will be affected only when they are actually exposed to a particular state, whether for good or for ill. Many factors determine whether an individual will be exposed. For pollution in the environment, for example, levels vary from place to place and over time, and people’s activities and behavioural patterns may influence the extent to which they come into contact with the pollutants. Likewise, in the case of economic downturn, not all sections of society are equally affected.
