Accumulated local effects

You know how when you eat too much candy, you might get a tummy ache or feel really hyper? Well, imagine that happening over a longer period of time, maybe days or weeks. That's kind of like what accumulated local effects are. It's when something small happens over and over again in one area, and it starts adding up and causing bigger problems.

For example, if you live near a factory that's always pumping out smoke, you might start coughing or feeling sick after being exposed to it for a long time. Or if you play a lot of video games without taking breaks, your hands might start to hurt or feel numb.

Accumulated local effects can be really tricky because it's happening gradually, so you might not even notice it at first. But over time, those little things can turn into bigger problems, just like a bunch of candy can turn into a tummy ache. So it's important to pay attention to how you're feeling and make sure you're taking care of yourself, especially if you're exposed to something over and over again.
