  2. Public Health Issues • Traffic Safety • Air Quality • Community Concerns

  3. Why are these important public health issues? • Traffic safety is a number one concern in the USA. About 48,000 people in one year die in car accidents. Compare this to 50,000 people dying in the Vietnam War. • Air quality can affect the population in many ways. If polluted it can harm many people. • Community concerns deals with just about every issue that deal with a certain group of people. Ex. Health Care, Population, Transportation, Education, and ect…

  4. Traffic Safety During our site, we went around campus and to nearby neighborhoods looking at traffic safety and street designs. We also critiqued unsafe street situations. In this process we discovered different issues that would make an unsafe community; most people don’t even realize that they are a threat.

  5. Air Quality • Air quality affects the health of all living things, in positive and negative ways. • According to the American Lung Association, particles in the air can cause or aggravate a number of health problems which are linked with illnesses and deaths. • Air pollution may harm crops in rural areas near power plants or factories.

  6. Community Concerns • Transportation • School Zones • Health Care • Education • Street Smarts • Environmental Issues • Career Opportunities • Traffic Safety • Recreational Facilities
