What do you understand by the Word "Environment"?
Environment can otherwise be known as the surrounding ecosystem, it is simply the place we live and the things around us, it includes oceans, sea, both terrestrial, aquatic and arboreal habitat. In this concept the environment is our physical world.
How do our surroundings impact our well-being?
A lot of us have been hearing of environmental factors, what do you think it is? These are the things that affect our environment and in turn fall back to affect us too. The environment has a very great impact in our life depending on what is been placed in the environment. The environment we are on can also help us develop resistant and resilience.
I was told a story of a white american missionary who came into Nigeria and died because of a mosquito bite, many nigeria have been sufering the bites but it took time before it could result to death. The death of this missionary was as a result of his body inability to adapt to the condition of the place. When we change environment we tend to become sick but as months approaches we gradually adapt to the condition of the place.
What are some ways pollution, like air or water pollution, can affect our health?
I am allergic to fumigants like insectides, each time it is sprayed on the floor it excite sneezing, I can sneeze for 3 day by perceiving it once. Some people who have never experienced the village life, if drink stream water may actually suffer dysentry and chlorea in a matter of weeks. It is not like those in the village don't suffer this ailment but it may take time before it manifest.
Pollution of water, air can definitely bring about sicknesses to us and can sometimes cause death. If someone is constantly exposed to the fumed(carbon monoxide) from the exhaust pipes of vehicles for a long period of time they will eventually die. Cases like this has been reported severely on news by witnesses of this event and people are gradually taking precautions.
What are some simple actions you take every day to promote environmental health?
One major way to tackle pollution is creating aware, after the death of a young man and family who die of continuous exposition to fumes from exhaust pipe of their generator. The government took it upon themselves to assign health personnel whose responsibility was to let people know the effect of these gases on our health. Another way is to bring every offender of the law to book(i.e punishment for those who caused environmental pollution). Human beings are very hard to controll but with the presence of law and order whose offender is punishable they tend to adhere to some precepts.
How can education and awareness play a role in promoting environmental health?
