SEC-S16 / W4 | "The Environment and Our Health"🌍👩⚕️
Hey friends! Welcome to another new week. Human existence has continued to be what it is given the activities in them. The environment is greatly dependent on how trade in them. If they are maintained, they give us back health and, if otherwise, may bring a pandemic of your own to us.
The word environment is used to identify a place of inhabitation. A place where we find rest, engage in our man made activities, and other activities that prosper us.
It could be a surrounding in our homes, places of work, or digital space. All of this determines how best we function, especially around it. How we function around it may differ.
Therefore, it is a place that determines our functionality as individuals because of the influence it weilds on us.
The environment impacts our well-being in different ways, be it positive or negative. In a situation whereby it is negative, it makes us worse off. There are a lot of observed environmental effects we've seen over time.
The issue of flooding is one environmental impact that totally brings devastation to us. When we continue to carry out some deviant human activities that create chaos and problems, its resultant effect can only be imagined. Issues of flooding that bring about destruction of properties have a negative effect onnus especially our mental health. Lives are lost in some cases.
It could be from air pollution. Air pollution is another way that impacts our well-being. Thisnhas not subjective to she fact that we may not see the symptoms almost immediately, but it is gradual in affecting our well-being. Our lungs, in this case, are the worst hit during air pollution. Issues of flu and other respiratory disorders.
Noise pollution could also be sujective to the effects that affect our well-being. Staying in an environment where we have high sound emissions can be detrimental to our health. It tones up our hearing capability and may likely allow us to easily have hearing problems.
Air pollution from Generating Set is one killer way our health could be affected. We've heard of several incidences where families are choked to death or suffocated through amokes or carbon emissions. We have to be weary of this so we dont get our health compromised.
Water pollution from oil spillages has been a menance especially in the oli producing areas. We see how oil spillages damage our environment where both aquatic animals are killed. We human source of water is contaminated, and there are likely tendencies of consuming water with ions that are enemic to the body.
Through environment sanitation: This is one way the government has been able to instil the mandate of cleaning the environment by its citizens. By doing this, we are able to keep the environment relatively clean and promote healthy living.
Planting of Trees & Avoiding deforestation: Deforestation is one way human activities have continued to expose the environment to the direct impact of nature. We have to promote planting of trees and flowers thatcdoes not only promote beauty but clean air.

Education is the basics of most advacement we see today. Awareness is a means of letting a wider populace know about better ways of doing things. Education tries to unviel better ways and techniques to handle environmental issues and hence promote healthy living.
Just like the agricultural extensionist, we have environmentalist who's work is to help profer solution to some of our surroundings and the best way to live in them.
The environment is our friend, and how we live in it determines how much we get from it. Inwant to invite @rossnenye and @eveetim.

Thank you for commenting on post and also find it valuable. Yes planting of trees improves our environment, good sanitation also helps.
Our environment should be safe and clean for a healthy life style.
Speaking about flooding.. most of the times, you see people pouring dirts in the drainage system stopping the free flow of this bad water and causing the flood everywhere and it affects our health. If sanctions are not put in placed, people will keep misbehaving..
Exactly, people practising this unsafe act forgets that this is the same environment where they spend most part of there life, and it needs to be kept clean for there health seek, stopping the flow of bad water attracts germs.
A clean environment is a safe one for everyone. Wishing you all the best
