Mention five components of environmental health

Clean air, stable climate, adequate water, sanitation and hygiene, safe
use of chemicals, protection from radiation, healthy and safe
workplaces, sound agricultural practices, health-supportive cities and
built environments, and a preserved nature are all prerequisites for
good health.

Highlight the characteristics of a good house

High ceilings
Outdoor space
A sustainable place for future generations
Floor plan
Low-maintenance
Quality construction with distinct architecture
Security
There should be proper ventilation
A place where people thrive

Enumerate uses of water

Water can be used for direct and indirect purposes. Direct

purposes include bathing, drinking, and cooking, while
examples of indirect purposes are the use of water in
processing wood to make paper and in producing steel for
automobiles. The bulk of the world's water use is for agriculture,
industry, and electricity.
Highlight the objectives of food hygiene

Prevent food spoilage, i.e. changes that make food unfit for
consumption due to microbial or chemical contamination. Inform
and educate people about simple and practical methods of
keeping food safe to protect themselves against foodborne
diseases. Protect food from adulteration (intentional
contamination).
List the factors that will influence good environmental sanitation on the survival of
man

Air, water, climate, soil, natural vegetation and landforms are all environmental
factors. By definition, the environmental factors affect everyday living, and play a
key role in bringing health differences across the geographic areas

What are the sources of water

 Source water refers to bodies of water (such as rivers, streams,
lakes, reservoirs, springs, and ground water) that provide water
to public drinking-water supplies and private wells. Water
sources can include: Surface water (for example, a lake, river, or
reservoir) Ground water (for example, an aquifer).
River.
Groundwater.
Rainwater.
Glaciers.
Lakes.

Mention five methods of excreta disposal

Service type latrines (Conservancy System)
Non-service type (Sanitary latrines) a) Bore hole latrine. b) Dug well or Pit
latrine. c) Water-seal type of latrines (PRAI, RCA, Sulabh Shauchalaya) d)
Septic tank. ...
Latrine suitable for camps and temporary use. a) Shallow trench latrine. b)
Deep trench latrine. c) Pit latrine.

What are the sources of waste

Solid Waste
Commercial waste
Domestic waste
Construction waste
Municipal Waste

What are the types of environment

Geographical environment
Forest
Internal environment
Social environment

Define house
House is a dwelling place. house is a single-unit residential building.

Define Environmental sanitation

Environmental sanitation is the promotion of hygiene
and the prevention of disease and other consequences
of ill-health, relating to environmental factors.

State the effects of air pollution

Air pollution can affect lung development and is
implicated in the development of emphysema, asthma,
and other respiratory diseases, such as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Define pollution
Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the
environment. These harmful materials are called pollutants.
 Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic ash. They can also be
created by human activity, such as trash or runoff produced by
factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land.

Explain the term vector and explain the types of vector and why are some
of medical importance
Vectors are frequently arthropods, such as mosquitoes,
ticks, flies, fleas and lice. Vectors can transmit infectious
diseases either actively or passively: Biological vectors,
such as mosquitoes and ticks may carry pathogens that
can multiply within their bodies and be delivered to new
hosts, usually by biting.

Define the following terms

b. Health
c. Solid waste management
d. Environmental toxicology
e. Environmental sanitation
Environmental sanitation includes human excreta control, managing
solid waste and wastewater, and pest and vector control. Sanitation
and environmental hygiene issues must be analyzed during the initial
assessment. In CEs considerations for sanitation needs are included
during the camp planning and layout.
Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with all aspects of
the natural and built environment affecting human health. In order to effectively control
factors that may affect health, the requirements that must be met in order to create a
healthy environment must be determined
The term solid waste management mainly refers to the complete
process of collecting, treating and disposing of solid wastes. In the
waste management process, the wastes are collected from different
sources and are disposed of. This process includes collection,
transportation, treatment, analysis and disposal of waste.
Sanitation' and 'waste management' both refer to the appropriate
management of waste to protect people and the environment.
Sanitation generally focuses on liquid waste and waste management
on solid waste. Liquid waste includes all types of wastewater and
includes human excreta.
