I hope everyone will like my writing. how are you all Hope everyone is well. Alhamdulillah I am fine too. Going to participate in Week 04 of Session 16 of the Healthy Steam Community Engagement Challenge. The subject of the competition is SEC-S16 / W4 | "Environment and our health"‍⚕.

👩‍⚕️ What do you understand by the Word "Environment"?

Everything around us is the environment. For example: we have plants, animals, houses, air and water around us. These things are the elements of our environment. In other words, the organic and inorganic, living and inanimate materials around us are our environment. To live in life, a healthy environment is necessary for healthy development.We all know that environment is everything that surrounds us. That is, soil, water, air, plants and animals etc. are all included in the environment. There are three main elements of the environment and these three elements we know are soil, water and air.

👩‍⚕️ How do our surroundings impact our well-being?

We are benefiting from the environment in many ways. We are enjoying all the elements of the environment directly and indirectly. For example, an important element of the environment is plants. These plants provide us with food. Food provides nutrients to our body. Again from these we get oxygen which is essential for our life. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the environment. Also from it we get wood which is used for fuel and furniture making. Again another element of environment is water. We drink this water. Because of water all living things on earth survive. Water is an essential part of environment. material. And three-fourths of our earth is covered by water, which helps us in various ways. Another element of the environment is air. Without air the earth is motionless. We have air everywhere. Our existence cannot be imagined without air. Air contains various gases which make it suitable for living organisms on earth. Another important element of environment is soil. Plants grow in soil. Animals live in soil. Soil contains many organic and inorganic elements that make food for plants. It helps. This results in the plant yielding and growing. So its contribution is unimaginable. All elements of the environment are essential. They help us directly and indirectly. Because of them we are alive on earth. This is how the environment around us affects our well-being.

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

Pollution like air and water pollution can affect our health. Air and water are two essential elements of our environment. We cannot live without them. So we have to suffer from them. Since we have to consume them constantly, it is important to consume safe water and air. First let's talk about water pollution. Water pollution is a big problem nowadays. Various wastes from factories in urban areas are dumped directly into the river. As a result, the water becomes polluted very easily. Beach visitors are polluting the sea water by throwing tin shells, plastic bottles and polythene into the sea water. Also adding sewage to the ponds and rivers causes the water to become polluted. Another water pollution is arsenic pollution. Due to water pollution we face various stomach ailments including diarrhoea. Moreover, water pollution causes various skin diseases. It is said that another name for safe water is life. So we have to drink safe water. Air pollution is another big problem nowadays. Toxic black smoke from factories pollutes the air. Smoke from brick kilns pollutes the air. Also CFC gases are emitted from refrigerators and air conditioners and aerosols which are damaging the ozone layer of the atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs the sun's ultraviolet rays. But now due to depletion of ozone layer it is entering the earth and causing various life-threatening diseases including cancer. Air pollution causes various diseases including chest disease. It can cause respiratory problems. So it can be said that air or water pollution affects our health.

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

I take some simple steps every day for environmental health. I try to keep the surroundings of my house clean every day. So instead of throwing them away, I sell them. I often try to plant trees. Because trees are our best friends. Let's try not to pollute the air and water around. I basically take such steps.

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

Education and awareness can play an important role in improving environmental health. Education and awareness are inter-related. Because if education spreads, awareness increases. To reduce environmental pollution, awareness is needed along with education. That's why we all need to be motivated. If we inform people around us about environmental pollution, awareness will increase among them. The government of the country should be vocal about it. People should be made aware about environmental pollution through various meetings and seminars. So education and awareness play a role in improving environmental health.


I would like to invite @stef1 @patjewell and @rubayat02 to participate in this contest.
