Prickly heat is a skin condition that appears as discrete, extremely pruritic, erythematouspapulovesicles accompanied by a sensation of burning, or tingling. It can appear after taking a hot shower. Heat cramps are muscle spasms that result from loss of large amount of salt and water through exercise. It can be caused by inadequate consumption of fluids or electrolytes. Usually they occur later, especially at night or when relaxing. Although heat cramps can be quite painful, they usually don't result in permanent damage. Heat exhaustion: This condition often occurs when people exercise (work or play) in a hot, humid place and body fluids are lost through sweating, causing dehydration and overheating of the body. The person's temperature may be elevated, but not above 104 F (40 C). Heat stroke: is a life-threatening medical condition. The person's cooling system, stops working and the internal body temperature rises to the point at which brain damage or damage to other internal organs may result (temperature may reach 105 F or greater [40.5 C or greater]).

Phosphene;(PH3): Hydrogen phosphide; Phosphorus trihydride; Phosphorus hydride. Used in semiconductor industries and as a pesticide. It can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. Overexposure to phosphine gas causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea; thirst; chest tightness, dyspnea (breathing difficulty); muscle pain, chills; stupor or syncope; pulmonary edema. Arsine is the chemical compound with the formula AsH3. This flammable and highly toxic gas is one of the simplest compounds of arsenic. Despite its lethality, it finds applications in the semiconductor industry and for the synthesis of organoarsenic compounds. Stibine is the chemical compound with the formula SbH3. This colourless gas is the principal covalent hydride of antimony. This gas has an offensive smell like hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs). SbH3 is an unstable flammable gas. It is highly toxic. The toxicity of stibine is similar to that of arsine. It binds to the haemoglobin of red blood cells, causing them to be destroyed by the body.

TETANUS:A neurological disorder characterized by increased muscle tone and spasms, that is caused by tetanospasmin, a toxin released by the organism Clostridium tetani. It arises from the contamination of wounds with Clostridium spores. Clinical Manifestations: Increased tone in the masseter muscle (lockjaw), Sustained contraction of the facial muscles (risussardonicus) and back muscles (opisthotonus). Prevention: Active immunization with tetanus toxoid, and careful wound management TUBERCULOSIS: caused by the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis , caused by droplet nuclei released when sneezing and coughing . Symptoms: weight loss, low grade afternoon fever, persistent cough and sometimes, blood-streaked expectoration or hemoptysis. Directly Observed Therapy Short Course (DOTS) Strategy…the Solution!

Most forms of the disease are lethal, and it affects both humans and other animals. There are effective vaccines against anthrax, and some forms of the disease respond well to antibiotic treatment. Anthrax spores can be produced in vitro and used as a biological weapon.

MAJOR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS 1- Overpopulation 2- Air pollution: 3- Ozone depletion and global warming: 4- Water pollution:
1- Overpopulation • Pollution • Air • Water • Soil • Resource depletion • Forests • Fossil fuel • Extinction(52 species) • Mammals • Birds • Amphibians Fossil fuels: contain high percentages of carbon and include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. They range from volatile materials with low carbon:hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. *ESTIMATE
2- Air pollution: • industrialized and urbanized areas • 75% of children suffer respiratory disease • London fog (1952) killed 4000-8000 (mostly elderly). • The six major air pollutants: • Carbon monoxide (CO) • Nitrogen Oxides (NO, NO2) • particulate matter • sulfur dioxide (SO2) • Hydrocarbons • lead
Particulate matter: is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets. Particle pollution is made up of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles. The sources are modern farming, burning oil and coal, dust storms and volcanic eruptions. Once inhaled, the small size of particles can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects.
3- Ozone depletion and global warming: plant/ animal ultraviolet rays (skin cancer, cataracts, etc) • Refrigerants :chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), • 1930: introduced(Freon) • 1976: 750 million lb./year • 1980s: $28 billions/year • CO2 from fossil fuel Keeling Curve Without pollution control, the waste products from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and other human activities, whether they accumulate or disperse, will degrade the environment.
3- Ozone depletion and global warming: several thousand x the greenhouse potential CO2 CFCs CFCs cooling of the stratosphere accelerates ozone depletion accelerates ozone depletion • What can we do? • Reduce home energy usage • Buy cars that are fuel-smart • Transportation alternatives : • mass transit,, bicycling • Insulate your home to save • money and energy • Plant trees • Educate others
4- Water pollution: • Causes of water pollution • Population growth. • Outputs (Industrial, agricultural and urban) • Control of water pollution: • Domestic sewage • wastewater • Industrial • Agricultural • stormwater • Construction site • Urban runoff
MAJOR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Pollutioncontrol: PREVENT most favoured REDUCE option REUSE RECYCLE MITIGATE COMPOST DISPOSE least favoured option
Pollution control :Prevention: Pollution prevention describes activities that reduce the amount of pollution generated by a process. In contrast to most pollution control strategies, which seek to manage a pollutant after it is formed, the pollution prevention approach seeks to increase the efficiency of a process, thereby reducing the amount of pollution generated at its source. Some professionals also use the term pollution prevention to include recycling or reuse. Reduce: reducing the amount of waste produced by a person or a society. Waste minimization involves efforts to minimize resource and energy use during manufacture. Reuse is to use an item more than once. Reuse help save time, money, energy, and resources. Recycling is processing waste into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage ….reduce air, water and soil pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal.
Mitigation: The implementation of measures designed to reduce the undesirable effects of a proposed action on the environment. Fully or partially prevent an impact/reduce a risk by: changing means or technique, changing the site of a project and specifying operating practices to decrease waste. Compost: is organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment. Composting simply requires making a heap of wetted organic matter (leaves, food waste) and waiting for the materials to break down into humus after a period of weeks or months. Worms and fungi further break up the material. Aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium cpds. The ammonium cpds are further converted by bacteria into plant-nourishing nitrites and nitrates through the process of nitrification.
Demographic Issues (more people) • Growth in number • Increase in Consumption • Consumption Patterns: • More wastes • Growth of cities (More • large cities and slums)
CHALLENGES and OBSTACLES to IMPROVED SANITATION • Macro Economic Policies • More use and degradation of resources • Poverty: > 1 billion live below poverty line( $ 1.25/day) • Behavioural and perception barriers: • – low environmental concern • – benefits of improved sanitation not widelyunderstood
Pollution affects every organ Cardiac Cardiac
The basic requirements for healthy environment • Clean Air • Safe and Sufficient Water • Adequate and Safe Food • Safe and Peaceful Settlements • Stable Global Environment
Summary Environmental health is the broadest scope of health problem definition Environmental health studies the impact of the environment on populations It is a population based science that can be scaled to study individuals within populations Problem definition and potential resolution is possible through the implementation of a systematic approach
