Co2 Environmental Analysis

There are loads of different ways that we as humans affect the world and the environment we live in. Some things that we do can not only change and affect the environment but can also affect our health.

A copious amount of health problems can occur directly and indirectly due to pollution that could chronically impact a person, further

Courses on perspectives in environmental health are designed to introduce public health professionals to basic environmental science concepts. Students learn how about the public health impacts of various environmental exposures and processes. Coursework on global public health issues covers standard topics, such as population growth and infant mortality, and global health topics, such as future public health trends that are impacting domestic conditions. Learning about public health advocacy prepares students to drive the transformation of relevant laws and

Environmental healthcare addresses all the chemical, physical and biological factors that are external to an individual as well as the related factors impacting behaviors. It is comprised of assessment and control of those environmental hazards that can potentially affect health leading to disease and medical conditions such as asthma and cancer (Knight, 2006). These environmental hazards such as chemical wastes have devastating effects on the quality of air, water and soil of regions affected. In my area, Orlando, Florida, there are various environmental hazards that have affected the quality of water, air and soil. According to various analysis carried out in Orlando, Florida on the quality of its air, water and soil, most of them have shown that the quality has been affected. In comparison of the recent analysis with those of past years, the quality of this matter has been

My interest in Environmental Health started within my career as a Respiratory Care Practitioner. With Respiratory Care being such a centralized field of study focusing primarily on pulmonary and cardiac deficiencies I became interested in the common areas of the cases. The goals for me as an applicant of West Chester University’s MPH Program with an elective track of Environmental Health is to discover the most beneficial method to identify, make aware, prevent, maintain and correct factors associated with social, congenital and environmental

The customary idea of the environment is human focused, with everything that encompasses (surrounds) us characterized as the environment. Then again, science characterizes the earth as a mind boggling arrangement of living things and natural processes and the human species only one player in this web- albeit with significant impacts to the environment (Maxwell, 2014). Environmental health encompasses chemical, biological, and physical hazards and thus is not limited to industrial pollution as many often associate environmental health with.

I chose this topic because I believe it is related to my major. I also would be interested in learning more about it. I am a nursing major so I have an affinity for health topics. I chose this topic because I believe it will add to the background knowledge needed to understand why it is important to be involved in environmental causes.

What is the environmental focus of this decade? How will the increased costs of energy, waste management, and pollution affect your ability to succeed in your career?

What I find interesting is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the natural way it gets consumed. Carbon dioxide shouldn’t be looked at as a bad thing, we need some of it for plants and other life, but too much of anything is bad. I thought the pattern of CO2 was interesting because it matched the seasons. During the fall when plants die the CO2 increases, and when they come back to life the CO2 decrease. It looks like this is a natural process of how the earths controls the CO2. The problem is that the plants can only handle so much CO2 and when humans produce it 24 hours a day, the earth can’t catch up and do its job.

In the field of public health, when looking to devise new interventions it’s vital to examine not only past and current intervention efforts but also their failures and successes. Notably, the ideas, observations, shortcomings or failures of past interventions serve as the blueprint for enhancements and error avoidance in both current and future efforts. Subsequently, failure to learn from past interventions provers counterproductive to all efforts aimed at achieving future successes; hence the significance of the adages, we learn from our mistakes and when we know better, we do better. Therefore, it’s equally important to apply this same logic when looking to advance old methods or develop new environmental health interventions.

The environmental issue for my Milestone project is Air pollution. Air pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, and many harmful substances into Earth 's atmosphere, causing diseases, allergies, and death to humans, damage of other living organisms like animals and crops, or the natural environment (National Geographic, 2016). Georgia air pollution has been a focus for many years. Environmental protection Agency and Clean air act has been one of the main contributors to controlling environmental air pollution from increasing. The research is on scholars, chemicals and gases connected to air pollution and health hazards. Solution for Georgia is conserving, alternative energy and renewable resources.

The topic I have decided to research is the topic of Environmental Health. The goal of this topic is to promote health for all though a healthy environment. I picked this topic because many health related problems today revolve around environmental factors, like lung disease, asthma, skin cancer, and chemical exposures. Since, everyday people come in contact with their surroundings it is important to make the air we breathe, the water we drink, the homes and the security of a community are safe and do not affect the public in a negative matter. Another important factor in environmental health is to make sure the communities are not in contact with hazardous wastes or toxic substances. Both of these can severely affect a person’s health and can lead to major health problems in the future. “The World Health Organization (WHO) defines environment, as it relates to health, as all the physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person, and all the related behaviors”(2006).

Environmental health is on of those issues that affect everyone living today. Some of us choose to act as though there is nothing happening or that nothing is going wrong with how nature is reacting to humanity’s continued abuse. However, the rest of us know that to not act is to doom our children and grandchildren to a world that is far less rich for our greed.

To a great degree the eminent problem is the air pollution we breathe. Who can help amend the air we breathe. In order to improve the quality of the air, people have to be aware of the specific mode of pollution and the effect of it. The traffic-pollution causes affliction and distress to individuals. The reason for this tragedy is due in part by every one of us. High concentration of vehicle exhausts is the main source of air pollution in urban areas. Neighborhoods in proximity to heavy traffic areas can negatively impact a community’s health conditions and outcomes. Those people that are disproportionately exposed to great levels of exhaust fumes are those who have a low socioeconomic and educational status and are part of race/ethnicity

My connection to this is through my friends and family because the world is being affected by carbon dioxide more than before with ocean acidification and cities declared unfit for life. This is the world me and my friends will inherit and I don’t want it to be some sort of poorly cared for world but a clean well cared for world. The CO2 emissions are becoming major things in the US and China as they pollute millions of tonnes a year of carbon dioxide. The connection I have to this came up when I heard how bad our air was getting a couple years ago.
