SEC-S16 / W4 | "The Environment and Our Health"🌍👩⚕️
Hello friends, welcome to my blog for the week. This is my first engagement for the week, and I will be taking my time to entertain us with the topic.under review. Man is next to his environment, and this has a major place and role to play in his everyday existence.
👩⚕️ What do you understand by the Word "Environment"? |
---|
An environment is a place habitable or nonhabitable with human and nonhuman activities. A place where human and other animlas may call their home and area of activities for survival. Each time the word envoronment is mentioned, what comes into our mind immediately is our place of habitation.
However, this may not only represent a place of habitation but primarily insuates that. In our working and business places can also receive the environment status. A typical place with structural control could represent an office or business environment.
We can also liken a work envoronment to that in the digital space where a user works. A place where an operating task is executed; just like the desktop work environment.
👩⚕️ How do our surroundings impact our well-being? |
---|
Our environment is either our friend or enemy, and this is dependent on how best we manage it. Environments at home are the most concerned in this matter. Just like the daying that cleanliness is next to godliness, the environment around our homes directly impacts us either positively or negatively.
When our environment is not well kept, we are likely to be affected negatively by pests and other insects like mosquitos that cause malaria. We all know the mortality rate of this singular ailment in this sub-saharan zone. We can not also remove the inavsion of some of these harmful reptiles around homes. Some are too poisonous to keep us alive within a short period of attack while beaten.
Of recent in my place , we've had a similar challenge where there are presence of mosquitos in their numbers. The usual mosquito repellants no longer hold them or push them out significantly. Though I've been using the bed nets at night but this isn't the permanent solution. I just discovered that one of septic tanks has issues, and there are plans to fix that. This simply shows that our environment has a direct correlation to our well-being.
Let's also look at our work environment. It also plays a vital role in our existence. The work hazards with the work place is enough to tamper with our well-being. There was a comcern sometime where the generating set that supplies light to the building was emitting carbons. This happened over time before it was fixed. These emissions are detrimental to our health, especially the lungs.
👩⚕️ What are some ways pollution, like air or water pollution, can affect our health? |
---|
My last illustration in my workplace is a typical example of air pollution. This issue of carbon emission happened for a month even with the then pallative measure done to fix it. Onencould imagine the damage we've made to our systens before it was finally replaced.
We were actually having headaches at different intervals because these carbons are silently and gradually inhaled with an air-conditioning system to suck them out when this emission enters the building. Initially, we kept complaining of headaches each time we stayed within the office, building for a while. Little did we know it was this bad smoke that we inhale.
It's good to know that this has been greatly fixed and incidences of air pollution no longer a menance in my work place. We have always fought out a solution when this happens. We don't need to be nonchalant about for a lonher period as this has a direct impact on our body system.
👩⚕️ What are some simple actions you take every day to promote environmental health? |
---|
We already know routine clean ups of our environment is key. This would help keep our rodents and bacterial buildup away from the Neighborhood. We cannot gamble with this singular act. Just as we know, cleanliness is next to godliness.
Another way is by planting of trees of vegetavltion where possible. Flowers and vegetations have their own way of absorbing excess carbons in the air and emission of fresh and clean oxygen into the atmosphere. Having them around is a plus to our environment.
Some of the actions we take in ensuring a better environmental health can not be far from the ones already mentioned. For the air pollution case, mails were written, follow ups carried out to help speed up the bureaucratic glitches that would ordinarily slow the peocess aof getting a replcement. This was achieved after pallative measure made failed within the quarter.
Secondly, for the home mentioned case, there was a breakdown of infrastructure that wareshouses waste water, and this caused out the break of mosquitos in the premises. A concerted effort was made to fix this broken infrastructure immediately when it was notoced. Help mainatain existing infrastructure has always been a way to go, and this worked when it was worked on.
👩⚕️How can education and awareness play a role in promoting environmental health? |
---|
If knowledge is wealth and health is wealth, this means that knowledge is also health. Knowing what to do and having a high level of how to resolve them is also another aspect. Our environment has a direct impact on our daily existence. we need knowledge that is mostly impacted by education to solve some of these challenges.
Education and awareness would tell us that a bushy environment is a prerequisite to having an infested and roddent prone environment. We can not be fumigating an environment. We know that the main cause of its primary challenge hasn't been solved.
Awareness of environmental health tips helps us get prepared before time against unforeseen circumstances. It provides.us safety measures to handle our environment, especially during disaster times.
In conclusion, we have to be well-educated to have improved knowledge on how best to handle our environment. Though this can be learned outside the walls of schools, there is no doubt that education is like an additional layer to our natural knowledge. Envoronment is next to human existence and should be handled that way to improve our life span.
Thank you, friends...

Dear you wrote well,
We have to be more educated to improve our knowledge on how best we can handle our environment to keep it clean and healthy.
Thanks for finding value in my writings. We require more knowledge in harnessing a better environmental cohabitation.
In my view, the environment is where life happens, whether it's humans building homes or animals finding shelter. It's the backdrop for everything we do, from living to working, and it includes both natural and man-made elements.
I've learned that our surroundings can either support us or cause problems, depending on how we treat them. When we take care of our environment, it becomes a source of comfort and well-being. But neglecting it can lead to issues that affect our health and happiness.
From what I've seen, understanding how our environment affects us is essential for our well-being. When we learn about the environment and how to take care of it, we're also taking care of ourselves. It's like investing in our health and happiness for the long run.
Best of luck
