SUMMARY

Air Pollution and Everyone

Air pollution is something we can’t escape cause we breathe it every day. In fact, every
minute of everyday, we breathe six to ten liters of air. If the air around us carries pollutants,
those pollutants enter our bodies and can affect us in many ways. The respiratory system comes
in direct contact with the air we breathe, it is the body system most likely to be affected by air
pollutants. So people who already have asthma, emphysema, or other respiratory conditions,
people with heart or circulatory problems, and cigarette smokers are especially susceptible to the
effects of air pollution.

Air pollution can affect anyone. Even healthy teenagers, young adults, and strong
athletes can suffer negative effects from high pollution levels, especially when exercising
outdoors.

One way to study the relationship between air pollution and health is to compare hospital
records and death records to pollutant levels. Another type of research involves evaluating the
effects of long-term exposure to pollutant levels that are high but not extreme.

Long-term exposure to irritants in the air can cause swelling and constriction of the
airways, increased production of mucous, and paralysis of bacteriadestroying cells. Normally,
the cilia of the epithelial cells that line the airways make sweeping movements to keep the
airways clean. The cilia move mucous, along with germs and dirt caught in the mucous, out of
the respiratory tract. Air pollutants can irritate the cilia, so that their protective action slows
down or even stops. This leaves sensitive tissues unprotected. Then microorganisms and bits of
foreign matter in the air are more likely to remain in the lungs. Here they can cause infections,
lead to the development of lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and increase
the chances of lung cancer.

Our bodies most affected by air pollutants is the respiratory system, the circulatory
system works in close relationship with the respiratory system, so it can be affected too.

The Criteria Pollutants chart summarizes the health effects of the criteria pollutants. Each
of them has different effects. For example, when we inhale particulate matter (PM10), these tiny
bits of foreign matter travel deep into the lungs where they become lodged in the alveoli. These
small, balloon-like sacs are the point in our bodies at which oxygen exchange occurs. This is
where the lung removes carbon dioxide from the blood and replaces it with oxygen from the air.
Very tiny particulates, those less than one micron, can stay trapped here for years. They can
irritate the alveoli, reducing their ability to work properly, and cause long-term chemical and
structural damage to the lungs.
In contrast, carbon monoxide is unusual in that it has n

In contrast, carbon monoxide is unusual in that it has no direct effect on the lungs but is
absorbed by the blood. Carbon monoxide readily combines with hemoglobin in red blood cells,
taking the place of some of the oxygen that should be entering the bloodstream.

Every moment, we are interacting with the air around us. Our bodies are constantly
exchanging molecules with the atmosphere. Just as breath is essential to life, so too is the quality
of the air we breathe essential to good health and the quality of our lives.

Lesson 7 Activity 1 - Symptom Scenarios STUDENT WORKSHEET 1

1. Explain how much air we breathe every minute:

2. What fraction of the American people live where the air is often unhealthy to breathe?

3. Which body system is most likely to be affected by air pollutants?

4. Who is affected by air pollution?

5. Why is it difficult to determine the health effects of different air pollutants?

6. Briefly explain how researchers study the health impacts of air pollution:

7. Which system, besides the respiratory system, can be affected by air pollution?

8. Describe the health effects of particulate matter

9. Describe the health effects of carbon monoxide:

ANSWER :

1. Every minute, we breathe six to ten liters of air.


2. The Environmental Protection Agency estimate that four out of ten Americans life where the
air is often unhealthy to breathe.
3. The most affected at body system by air pollutants is respiratory system.
4. Everyone can be affected by air pollutant, even the healty one.
5. Different air pollution is difficult to determine the effect because if researchers want to
know the effects of different pollutants, then they should put human in their labs and take
them to pollutants of high levels, which is unethical to use human as lab-testing devices.
Also,the concentration of each pollutant is changing all the time, so it is difficult to
determine the impact of each pollutant.
6. One way to study the relation between air pollution and health is to compare hospital
records and mortality records for high levels of pollutants, and it involves evaluation of
the effect of high but non-extreme levels of exposure to high level of pollutants.
7. The circulatory system works in close relationship with the respiratory sistem, so it can
be affected by air pollutants too.
8. Very small particulates, can remind trapped in the lungs for years. They can irritate the
alveoli, reduce their ability to work properly, and cause chemical and long-term damage
to the lungs.
9. Carbon monoxside has no direct effect on the lungs but is absorbed by blood. Carbon
monoxside easily joins hemoglobin in red blood cells, taking place in some of the oxygen
that must enter the bloodstream.

Iklan menciptakan 'keinginan', bahkan jika Anda tidak benar-benar 'membutuhkan'


produk tersebut.
Konsumen muda memiliki daya beli yang lebih besar daripada generasi sebelumnya dan
lebih berpengaruh terhadap pengeluaran orang tua mereka. Di Australia, 1,9 juta remaja
(kelompok usia 7-14) memiliki pendapatan gabungan sebesar $1,3 miliar per tahun (uang
saku, hadiah ulang tahun, dan sebagainya), menghabiskan sekitar $471 juta per tahun,
dan semakin menjadi target utama pengiklan dan pemasar.

Kami membuat pilihan makanan setiap hari di rumah, supermarket, kantin sekolah,
restoran dan gerai makanan cepat saji, hanya untuk beberapa nama! Ada sekitar 100.000
makanan di rak supermarket, dengan produk baru muncul setiap minggu. Dengan akses
yang lebih besar ke berbagai makanan ini, muncul persaingan dari berbagai pemain
untuk mempengaruhi perilaku konsumen. Ratusan juta dolar dihabiskan setiap tahun di
Australia untuk promosi dan iklan makanan, untuk membuat pelanggan ingin membeli
produk baru, atau memilih merek tertentu daripada merek lain.

Untuk setiap produk mis. minuman ringan diet, ada begitu banyak merek pesaing di luar
sana, sehingga sulit untuk meningkatkan penjualan hanya dari iklan langsung yang
menunjukkan kaleng minuman ringan. Oleh karena itu, iklan modern harus menjual lebih
dari sekadar produk untuk meningkatkan penjualan. Sebuah iklan akan sering memiliki
pesan eksplisit berikut ini
produk hebat, belilah!' dan juga pesan tersirat:'Jika Anda membeli produk ini, Anda akan
menjadi lebih menarik seperti orang orang yang anda lihat diiklan ini, dan anda akan
lebih dekat dengan gaya hidup yang mereka miliki.

Sebuah produk akan menjadi populer jika ditempatkan dalam konteks gaya hidup yang
menarik, diinginkan atau keren. Jika konsumen melihat iklan yang menggambarkan
perilaku.

B. Exercise 2 – The chicken detective!

Write a paragraph reflecting on what you have learnt from being a food
detective!

Answer:
Chicken nugget is a food product consisting of deboned chicken meat that is
breaded, then deep-fried or baked. Chicken nuggets have become a very popular fast
food, as well as widely sold frozen for home use. Chicken nuggets are made with
white chicken meat that comes from the breast or pectoral muscles of the chicken,
and other chicken parts can be mixed in as well. Tendons, bones, nervous and
connective tissues, and fat can all be ground up together before being shaped into
those bite-sized pieces. Study found that chicken nuggets contained more fat than
meat. The raw materials for making nugget are pieces of chicken meat, flour, and
spices. Additional ingredients include starch, breadcrumbs, salt, sugar, pepper, garlic,
and eggs. In the industrial process chicken nugget go through several stages. First,
grind the chicken meat until smooth. Then, the ground chicken is mixed with flour,
spices, and air. Furthermore, processed chicken meat is given a wet coating and dry
coating. Then, processed chicken meat that has been given this layer is fried, until
cooked. Once cooked, the chicken nuggets are frozen at a very low temperature until
frozen. And the final product is then packaged. Packaging of chicken nuggets usually
uses airtight plastic that keeps the chicken nugget safe and durable. Chicken nuggets
contain about 600mg of salt and 20g of fat. But it should be noted that consuming
chicken nuggets in large quantities and frequently, can cause health issues.
