Environmental stress as a functional of
i- noise
ii- pollutants
iii-politics?
iv- natural hazards? (earthquake and nuclear reactors, eruptions, tsunami, others..)
v- social unrest (insurgencies among tribes for example in ASSAM, NER of India)
how do you account of all these and how do you model?
Three components are involved in the relationship that defines environmental stress. First, there is the environmental stress itself as defined previously. However, the environmental stress can only be defined in reference to its interaction with some biological system. Therefore, there must be a receptor – a biological system that is exposed to the environmental stress. Finally, there must be an adverse response – a particular structure or function of the receptor that is changed by exposure to the environmental stress to the detriment of that system. If the survival of that biological system (or another) is not threatened by the change, then there is no environmental stress.

Environmental stress is pressure on environment caused due to human activities ( generation of pollutants) or natural event (such as drought).

My question was: how did you model the functional mathematically as it depends on various functions and they are interdependent. Unless this model is verified the conclusions may run the risk of imprecision. Ergonomics i.e. human related effects are very difficult to include. Can you explain your mathematical modeling?
