Proper planning of a new district or city or village before construction
1- Town planning
![Page 7: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
New city must be classified into industrial, commercial & residential zones.
Wide streets, parks, green areas
Available health services, fire extinguishing center, transportation methods.
Basic requirements of planning are:

2 -Sanitary housing
![Page 9: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2- Sanitary housing
The health conditions that must be fulfilled in any building.
![Page 10: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Basic requirements of sanitary building:
1. Far from industrial areas, volcanoes or river floods- quit place-clean surroundings
2. Made of safe, strong materials & proper foundations to overcome rains, destruction
3. Privacy: separate house for each family & adequate rooms in relation to individuals.
4. Adequate ventilation.5. Adequate lighting.6. Sanitary water supply.7. Sanitary waste disposal.8. Safety measures for prevention of
accidents: good lighting, safe furniture.

Question
1- State the criteria for choosing new house?
2- What are the priorities for selecting healthy house with limited resources?
![Page 12: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Slums Narrow streets, densely populated with poor
housing & unsanitary environment.
![Page 13: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Increased rate of infection & death Increased accidents as fire, falls
Increased social problems: addiction, crime
Psychological problems due to lack of privacy & crowdedness.
Hazards of Slum areas & Unsanitary housing
![Page 14: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How can we solve the health problems of slum areas?
Build new towns in distant areas with all services
Low renting of houses Prevent illegal construction of houses
without sanitary water or waste disposal. Increase working chances to increase
socioeconomic status.
![Page 15: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Urbanization Is the process of migration of people from rural to urban
areas for better opportunities of jobs, services & recreation.
Health hazards of urbanization: 1- Over crowdedness, leading to more lowering of socio
economic standard & bad sanitary conditions. (slum areas)
2- Spread of communicable diseases “TB, skin diseases, parasites, respiratory infections”.
3- Social problems, quarrel, homicides
4- Delinquency, drug abuse, more crimes.

There are also minor industrial pollutants either because they are present in minor
amounts or they have minor health hazards.
Examples: asbestos, benzene, mercury, noise, odors, radiation etc.
![Page 39: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1. Outdoor pollution (atmospheric pollution):
The wider type of pollution. It deals with an open & unlimited environment.
It affects more population, living things and property.
2. Indoor pollution: It deals with limited & mostly closed environments e.g. houses
& work environments. More hazardous than outdoor air pollution because we spent
more time inside our houses & the concentration of pollutants are much higher (much tightly closed) than in ambient air.
Other classification of air pollution according to its site:

Air pollution is associated with a higher level of morbidity & mortality. Pollutants in air can affect mostly the respiratory system, the skin and the gastrointestinal tract.
• Exposure to air pollutants can cause or exacerbate COPD, BA, acute respiratory diseases. • It exacerbates cardiovascular problems and may even cause death in individuals with impaired coronary circulation. • Carcinogenic & mutagenic agents cause various hazards to human health e.g. malignancy & birth defects.
1- Damage to health:
![Page 44: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Eye, nose & throat irritation Bad odor & limited visibility
Due to increase of some pollutants such as sulfur compounds, dust etc.
Sky or overhead darkening is the result of either heavy smoke or a mixture of smoke and fog in most urban areas.
2- Annoyance to senses:

Increased temperature, heavy smog cause automobile & traffic delays, poor visibility,
lethargy, poor concentration & absenteeism from various establishments.
3- Interference with production:
![Page 47: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Metal parts of building, roofs & other metal equipment are usually damaged chiefly by corrosion from acidic compounds in polluted atmosphere (SO2 forms with water vapor H2 SO4 also hydrogen chloride reacts with water vapor to form highly corrosive droplets of Fog).
4- Property Damage:
![Page 48: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Cracking of rubber and various forms of electrical insulation are thought to be caused by ozone (O3).
Deterioration of painted surface is caused by a variety of air contaminants.

The injury to vegetation varies from invisible injury to growth retardation of
various plants, which depend on the concentration & duration of exposure to
the toxic substance present in air as Sulfur compounds and ozone.
5- Damage to vegetation:

Greenhouse gases (CO2, water vapor, trace amounts of ozone, nitrous oxide, CFCs), act like the glass pan of a greenhouse i.e. allowing light, IR radiation and some UV rays to pass through the troposphere.
The earth surface absorbs much of this solar energy & degraded it to IR radiation (heat). Some of this heat escapes into space and some will be absorbed and trapped by the greenhouse gases and so increase the earth's temperature.
This trapping of heat is called the greenhouse effect and leads to global warming.
a) Global Warming:
![Page 52: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

The ozone layer, the global sunscreen, is formed by the interaction of O2 with light & solar energy. Its presence in the stratosphere keeps about 99% of harmful UV rays, thus protecting man against sunburn, eye cataract, cancers and damage to immune system. It prevents much of the conversion of O2 in the troposphere to O3 which is harmful to humans. The elevation of temperature due to the greenhouse gases lead to the formation of O3 in the troposphere with all its bad effects.
b) Ozone layer perforation:

Smog is a mixture of 1ry & 2ry pollutants that forms when some of the 1ry pollutants interact under the influence of sunlight. Normally, during the day, the sun warms the air which rises up carrying pollutants away from the surface leaving a cooler layer with less concentration of pollutants. Sometimes, weather conditions trap a layer of dense cool air beneath a layer of less dense warm air, a phenomenon called thermal inversion and thus prevents ascending of pollutants away from earth.
c) Smog formation:

Air Quality Index (AQI)
![Page 67: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality.
EPA calculates the AQI for 5 major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level O3, particle pollution (particulate matter), CO, SO2, and NO2.
AQI scale is from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. The purpose of the AQI is to help you understand what local air quality means to your health. The AQI is divided into 6 categories
Air Quality Index (AQI)
![Page 68: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
AQI values are derived from air quality data readings of pollutants affecting air quality. The index is derived using the following formula:
Air quality index (AQI) values
AQI values below 100 are generally thought of as satisfactory.
![Page 69: Environmental health - Air pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58acb2881a28ab68608b598d/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The data readings are recorded in different units of measure, depending on the type of
pollutant.

Indoor is more hazardous due to:1- we spent most of our time indoor 90%
(house-school-office)2- high concentration of pollutants( much
tightly closed) than in ambient air.
