Constitute A Health Hazard: Radiations of concern in fallout are gamma rays and alpha and beta particles, which may cause internal radiation if the water is used for drink¬ing. Findings support the view that the amount of radiation produced by nuclear weapons tests is not great enough to constitute a health hazard, although this subject is the source of much debate.
It is obvious that air pollutants soil shirts, penetrate closed windows, irritate the mucous membranes, kill plants, and dam¬age buildings. But oddly enough, it is extremely difficult to prove scientifically that air pollution is really a serious threat to health. An eminent sanitary engineer recently stated that, for all we know, air pollution is more an aesthetic affliction than a health hazard.See Also Regular Health Examinations:By having regular health examinations and following the advice of the physician, parents may be able to spare the child serious physical or psychological consequences of a physical defect or illness. This they can do without calling the child's attention to the defect or making it seem of grave importance to him.
The Place of Health Education in the Curriculum. In U. S. public schools, health instruction has been achieved through a variety of organizational patterns. One method is to include facts on health in such content areas as biology, social studies, or home economics. Units of health re¬lated to these areas have been included in the regular classroom instruction. However, the most successful method of accomplishing the aims and objectives of health education is that of direct in¬struction. In this method health instruction is considered a distinct part of the total school curriculum.
On The Other Hand See Positive Health:In 1968 the Public Health Service was reor¬ganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administra¬tion, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Adminis¬tration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
The strategy used was to bring health care services, new homes, rec¬reation areas, and improved education and schools to decayed areas, as well as to provide for street paving, improvement of mass trans¬portation, and the creation of employment op¬portunities. A closely related program was a positive health plan of action undertaken throughout U.S. cities for rat control, to eliminate the prob¬lems of environmental health that are created by rat infestation. |
