The Environment and Our Health

Hello everyone, I'm back again in Week 4 in the Healthy Steem community, an interesting theme that makes people aware and of course Steemit users about the meaning of the environment. I hope that what I publish has benefits as well as being a good read for anyone who reads it, following the contents of my participation post.

Natural, social, cultural, and Economic is a unity that forms a space consisting of people, objects, resources, and also conditions that are often referred to as the environment. The unity can be repaired, changed, or even created according to the needs and also the happiness of man himself. That is why the environment can be created and changed by the human condition itself, and of course, supported by the natural conditions that exist around it.

What, then, is the environment in the true sense of my understanding? here's a brief explanation.

🌍What do you understand by the Word "Environment"?

The environment is a combination of humans and nature, circumstances, and situations that form a space that exists around humans. The environment can affect the development of human life because the environment is created based on the decision of man himself to create circumstances and situations by the wishes of man himself. The environment consists of biotic and abiotic components, all of which complement each other to form a unified state.

Biotic compounds in the environment are all living things around such as humans, animals, and plants. While the abiotic components in the environment are all inanimate objects that are not alive, examples of abiotic components in the environment are soil, air, and everything that is not alive.

It can be concluded that the environment is where humans stand as a place where they live, which consists of two main components consisting of humans, animals, plants, soil, water, and so forth.

🌍How do our surroundings impact our well-being?

The environment has an important role in the continuity of life around the environment, meaning that human welfare is certainly influenced by environmental factors. Although in reality humans can affect the environment, so that prosperity can be created due to humans themselves. Man can make a good welfare for the environment and a decent and profitable source of life, on the contrary, man can also make the environment bad and make the welfare of people around bad.

🌍What are some ways pollution, like air or water pollution, can affect our health?

The behavior and the way humans create a bad life for the environment certainly has a bad influence on the surrounding circumstances, this bad influence can damage the abiotic component of the environment and also damage the Biotic component of the environment, even though humans are in it. One of the effects of damage that occurs say humans do not create a good environment is pollution, both air and water pollution that can interfere with human health.

Air and water pollution can affect human health and threaten human survival, some of the adverse health effects that occur when air and water pollution occurs include :

1. Respiratory disorders in living beings.
2. Increases the risk of various diseases.
3. Lack of clean water as the main element of life.
4. Uninhabitable environment.
5. Developing acute diseases, both pulmonary and respiratory.
6. And the worst thing is the decrease in oxygen levels dissolved in water and also damage the oxygen levels in the air.

🌍What are some simple actions you take every day to promote environmental health?

I try to maintain the closest environment around me in ways that are quite simple, small steps or small habits that can be exemplified and practiced daily to keep the environment much cleaner. Such steps or habits :

1. Separating organic and non-organic waste, as the rest of daily activities.
2. Dispose of waste in its place, especially those that interfere with water pollution and water sources.
3. Planting trees as a way to maintain air quality.
4. Clean your home and neighborhood regularly.
5. Clean up the environment where I work regularly.
6. And some other simple things, like saving electricity and also water as a way of being environmental.

🌍How can education and awareness play a role in promoting environmental health?

The advantage of my profession as a teacher is to have a mass way to provide education and understanding of Health to all my students at school, this is always and every day reminded of them. This is also what I do in the house that I give to my children, that the awareness of taking care of the environment is one of our obligations as human beings.

By providing education and awareness in these two places on how to improve environmental health, it is expected to make the best contribution for many people to always be aware of the importance of maintaining environmental health so that it can be inhabited for a long time so that we can become human beings who create a good environment that can provide welfare to all.
