Avoid Health Problems Caused by the Environment

By Clifford Woods

Climate change, dangerous water supplies, inadequate quality of air inside and outside, in addition to infected food products are just a few of the main environmental health conditions we are presently suffering from today.

These types of issues might appear extremely frustrating, it might appear unavoidable and inescapable, however it is us that have the ability to avoid or repair these kinds of issues. It really is the people that have all the capacity to reduce polluting of the environment, reduce our direct exposure to harmful compounds, and most significantly, reinforce the body and environment in an effort to withstand toxic contamination.
Below are some actions we can take.

Organic Ingredients
It will always be far better to consume all-natural, organically grown foods as well as take in fresh water and workout in clean surroundings. You should always be aware of what exactly you are consuming. 
You will discover that there are kinds of fish which are found in specific regions that have contaminants such as mercury within their tissue; this could trigger a number of developmental issues in fetuses as well as children.

Although insect sprays boost crop yields, additionally they boost the occurrence of pollutants within our water and ground. The installation of a water filtration system will certainly guarantee that your water is going to be thoroughly clean.
Try to remember that eating the natural way will certainly reduce contact with toxic pollutants.

Harmless Insect Poison and Cleaners
While it is strongly recommended that you stay away from pesticides entirely, should you make use of them, use eco-friendly and harmless insect sprays. In terms of cleaning chemicals, you must also use eco-friendly and risk-free cleaning agents.
When maintaining your home, it is advisable to restrict the usage of chemical substances in order to avoid impurities from getting inside. Environmentally friendly items may also keep the water supplies safe for ingesting.

Minimize Pollution
Make an effort to increase your standard of living by reducing your share of polluting of the environment. A case in point would be to lower the temperature setting during wintertime as doing this would minimize carbon dioxide emissions as well as increase the quality of interior air.
Heating ventilating and air conditioning will only circulate the toxic pollutants inside an establishment. In order to avoid using heating ventilating and air conditioning systems, make an effort to wear suitable clothes for the temperature. As an example, rather than increasing the heating unit throughout winter, just put on a thicker coat to avoid wasting electrical power; you will not simply save electricity, but your body's defense mechanisms will be improved and it will learn to reside well with nature.

Reduce Direct Exposure to Contaminants
If at all possible aim to restrict your contact with contaminants. Our body was created to process at a certain degree of contaminants. Environmental health issues are the results of exposure to amounts, which are way too high for your body system to process. As it is essential to lessen levels, when there are already a few impurities existing, safeguards ought to be taken to be able to restrict publicity.

An alternate way to stay away from exposure to lung illness factors is by ventilating your house. The use of HEPA-filtered systems in your house could possibly eliminate any paint chips filled with led which can make your kids protected from lead poisoning.

An additional way to control your contact with chemical substances is assuring that your building supplies, clothing, home furniture, as well as other items you make use of every day are just manufactured from components that do not produce chemical substances.

Health Issues and a Clean Environment

Health Issues and a Clean Environment

By Clifford Woods

The term clean environment is somewhat vague and can be interpreted in many ways. A clean environment is not only necessary for aesthetic pleasure, but is essential in sustaining human health as well. The most widely known health impacts of the environment can be attributed to factors like pollution, climate change, ozone depletion, land degradation and the obvious loss of biodiversity. It is such factors that bring about the correlation between health issues and a clean environment.

Why look at environment and health? There is increasing awareness that our health and the environment in which we live are closely linked, and in 2006 the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 24% of the global burden of disease was due to modifiable environmental factors. This growing awareness is reflected in recent health and environmental initiatives from governments and other organizations.
A lot has been said about the health issues brought about by poor indoor and outdoor quality, lack of sanitation, the use of hazardous chemicals and poor water quality as well. These are all factors that directly affect human health and are as a result of our poor efforts at maintaining and creating a clean environment.
Many blame the sorry state of the environment on the growing population, the projected increase from 6.8 billion to 9.2 billion by the 2050 means that we should expect worse days to come. This link between resource utilization and population is easy to follow, but is largely due to our lifestyles.
There is simply too much carbon dioxide production and this is all easily traced from sources, such as cars, detergents, pesticides, manufacturing and of course, the receding water levels.

Health and the Environment

• While there are efforts to improve the environment, it is still shocking that preventable ailments and premature deaths still occur globally due an unclean environment and here’s proof:
• 3 million children lose their lives every year due to diarrhea, which is brought about by unclean water and poor sanitation
• Malaria still claims close to 3 million lives yearly
• Acute poisoning from pesticides affects between 3.5 and 5 million people in developing countries
• About 4 million children lose their lives to respiratory infections many of which are linked to poor indoor and outdoor air quality

While it’s clear that many of these health issues affect those in developing countries, environmental threats are everywhere and industrialization is now the major threat to a clean environment. Industrial pollution is now the leading cause of air pollution and toxic waste. In fact, statistics show that respiratory conditions, such as asthma, are becoming more prevalent in the developed world mainly due to environmental factors.
Environmental conditions that affect human health are manageable and even preventable with better environmental care and practices. A clean environment is not just the responsibility of your government, but falls upon us all. There are many advantages to having a clean environment and some of these include:

• Less communicable diseases
• Enhanced quality of life
• Better food quality
• Clean energy for future generations and more

Health and the environment affect us all, but it is the poor who are most affected and especially the children and women. 

While the health issues that have been brought about by global changes are quite easy to identify, many of us ignore them unless we are directly infected or affected.

Human health has always undergone threats from natural phenomena like draught, fire, flooding and others. This is however, being worsened by poor environmental management. Remember that good health and a clean environment coexist.

Chemical Free Schools

Chemical Free Schools

By Clifford Woods

You’d like to think that any environment in which kids spent most of their waking lives would be near enough 100% chemical free and therefore as safe as possible. Sadly however this has proven not to be the case as according to the results of recent studies, an alarming number of schools across the Western World are still packed to the rafters with harmful products and toxic chemicals that stand to cause untold damage in those most sensitive to harm. 

Wall-to-Wall Dangers: If a person was to actually have free run of a school for a couple of hours, chances are they would be in for quite the surprise as to how many chemicals and toxins are present outside the confines of the science labs. 

Committees are still pushing for chemical free schools as the current use of chemicals being used have the potential to do great harm in the years to come. But in the meantime awareness is still crucial. 

So what exactly are children at risk from in such environments?

• Solvents: Various paints, marker pens and craft supplies that may not have been vetted for safety. 
• Cleaning Products: Any number of cleaning products used by cleaners and the kids themselves from time to time that haven’t been thoroughly checked for harmful chemicals. 
• Vinyl: Certain types of vinyl products and supplies have been found to contain dangerous levels of toxins and still perpetuate in schools. 
• Airborne: Heaters and air-conditioners cleaned, maintained or built with toxic products/components. 

Take into account the above examples along with dozens of others and it can begin to appear that pushing for chemical free schools is an impossible task, but the truth is in fact quite to the contrary. 

Simple Steps to Chemical Free Schools

In order to protect the health of future generations, it is simply a case of taking small though decisive steps to introduce only natural products in schools and begin ruling out their harmful counterparts. 

There is really no reason to sit back

and accept that there are children at risk.

How to get started:

1. Rule out the purchase of any further vinyl products, as they may be inherently toxic.
2. Promote the use of recycled and 100% organic paper products.
3. Increase trash awareness and promote the use of reusable containers.
4. Organize discussion groups to air concerns and plan initiatives.
5. Check all cleaning supplies and immediately replace harmful chemicals with natural and organic cleaning products. 
6. Ensure all craft supplies used are 100% safe and natural. 
7. Eliminate the use of pesticides and chemicals both inside and outside the building.

For example, the use of an all organic dry erase board cleaner for schools

is an excellent step towards a chemical free school

The list goes on to encompass every part of the school where harmful substances may be in use. It isn't a case of trying to revolutionize the whole establishment overnight, but rather to build awareness and take the first steps toward insisting on chemical free schools that are safe for the kids and teachers alike. 

A Clear Choice: Fully natural, safe and organic products for use in schools are not only beneficial to the health of kids and the planet alike, but are also just as effective and affordable as their chemical counterparts. There really is no excuse for accepting anything less.

Summary: This article discusses the idea of chemical free schools, in the context of how chemicals and toxins found in schools currently can be harmful to kids and teachers alike. It brings into account the use of organic and natural products as a safe, viable and necessary alternative for the future.
