2. Definition
Hygiene is the maintenance of healthful
practices. In modern terminology, this is
usually regarded as a particular
reference to cleanliness.
3. VACCINATION
Hygiene in home and everyday life settings plays an
important part in preventing spread of infectious
diseases. It includes procedures used in a variety of
domestic situations such as hand hygiene,
respiratory hygiene, food and water hygiene, general
home hygiene (hygiene of environmental sites and
surfaces), care of domestic animals, and home
healthcare (the care of those who are at greater risk
of infection).
4. IMPORTANCE
In the U.S., vaccines have reduced or eliminated many
infectious diseases that once routinely killed or harmed many
infants, children, and adults. These diseases also result in
doctor's visits, hospitalizations, and even premature deaths.
Stopping vaccination against polio will leave people susceptible
to infection with the polio virus. Polio virus causes acute
paralysis that can lead to permanent physical disability and
even death. Before polio vaccine was available, 13,000 to
20,000 cases of paralytic polio were reported each year in the
United States. These annual epidemics of polio often left
thousands of victims--mostly children--in braces, crutches,
wheelchairs, and iron lungs. The effects were life-long.
6. prevention from
communicable diseases
Hair-should be oiled, combed neatly. Less use of
cosmetics such as gel etc…
Skin-should be covered. Regular use of cream in
winter.
Eyes- Regular check-ups, be far from television
screen,etc
Teeth-regular dentist visit, brush 2 times a day
Ear-be out of loud noises. Less use of I-pods and
mobiles.
10. Air pollution causes
Home air pollution is the silent and invisible health concern that
many people live entirely unaware of. There are numerous air
pollutants within most homes that can cause serious health
effects, and most are not covered under any home insurance
policy if you try to remove them. [...]
Air pollution caused by cars is one of the more challenging forces
that air pollution environmentalists are dealing with. Short of
mandating restrictions on driving, it seems that the chronic
encouragement for commuters and travelers to find alternative
forms of transportation lands on deaf ears. Air pollution from
cars is still one of the greatest [...]
11. prevention
In order to completely
stop the production of all
manufactured materials,
stop the use of cars, air
conditioners, heat
sources, and basically
deconstruct the basic
staples of our society.
This is not exactly
practical, so we have to
look at other air pollution
solutions that can put a
serious dent on our
current situation
12. prevention
Cars are not just a major contributor to the air
pollution problems and are a major oil
dependency culprit in the US. Why the
destruction of the electric car was kept so secret
is really not a mystery. How far we could have
come with the acceptance of this one invention.
For more information on this topic, one should
watch the well documented and the very
accurate documentary, who killed the Electric
Car?
13. Water pollution causes
The effects of water pollution are far-reaching and affect
not only the environment, but human beings and animals as
well.By allowing for slow industry changes, water pollution
continues to be a growing problem. Water pollution prevention
requires drastic and swift action rather than a slow and
progressive change.
6 Major Effects of Water Pollution
1) The food chain is damaged.
2) 2) Diseases can spread via polluted water
3) Acid rain contains sulfate particles, which can harm fish
or plant life in lakes and rivers.
4) Pollutants in the water will alter the overall
chemistry of the water
5) Marine food sources are contaminated or
eliminated by water pollution.
6) Altered water temperatures (due to human
actions) can kill the marine life
14. prevention
Nature has a built in system to
help deter the oversaturation of
nitrogen in the water. The
ecological version of water
pollution treatment is known as
dentrification. This is a natural
process that helps take the
pollution filtered into the ground
and water and convert it into
harmless organic matter. Once
the high level of nitrogen enters
the water, dentrification
happens when natural bacteria
found in the ground turns the
nitrogen into nitrates, which is
much easier on the plant life
and the organic life in aquatic
ecosystems.
15. prevention
One of the more interesting and more popular
methods of water pollution treatment is known as
ozone wastewater treatment. Ozone wastewater
treatment involves the use of an ozone generator
which can effectively break down the wastewater
pollutants to prevent the continuous spread of
pollution throughout natural water sources. Ozone
water pollution treatment is so popular these days
because it is very effective at neutralizing pollutants
in the water and then can generate itself back into
oxygen for the ozone as though it had never been
touched.
16. Land pollution causes
There are a number of major sources of land pollution, not
counting the general litter and trash that people choose not the
throw away in a proper receptacle. Among these major sources
are burial sources, insecticides and pesticides, construction
wastes, human waste, herbicides, and mining waste. Poisons to
the land are destructive from the instant they touch the ground
and their pollutant spreads as it travels through the ground.
Herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides are harmful to more
than what they are designed to kill or deflect. The biggest
problem that land pollution creates is the impact it has on the
surrounding environments. Every form of land pollution kills off
the habitats of land animals as well as aquatic life. The more we
deplete these habitats the more the ecosystem is thrown out of
balance.
17. prevention
Ifland pollution continues at the present rate we
may not be able to leave a healthy earth for
future generations. So, we have to make efforts
to reduce this pollution and retain the beauty of
this land.
