Environmental health and hazards

An organism's environment is the environment in which it lives and has an impact on its well-being. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines environmental health as "those aspects of public health, such as quality of life, that are influenced by physical, chemical, biological, social, and psychosocial components in the environment." Environmental health is concerned with both natural and man-made settings in order to enhance public health. Environmental science, occupational medicine, toxicology, and epidemiology are the key subdisciplines of environmental health.

17.According to the excerpt from the Descent of Man in Sources of Making of the West… Charles Darwin asserts that observed differences between human races are evidence of multiple places of origin for humanity. Darwin acknowledges that his conclusions “will be denounced by some as highly irreligious” but he dismisses this as a valid argument against his explanation of human origins. Darwin asserts that “the assumed instinctive belief in God” is a valid argument for the existence of such a God. Darwin deliberately insults the Christians in his reading audience to gain traction for his arguments.
1. In the early part of this century, tropical medicine expert Dr. Richard P. Strong obtained permission from the Governor-General of the Philippines to inoculate a number of criminals with plague bacillus. The Filipino prisoners were not asked for their consent, but they were rewarded by being provided with cigars and cigarettes (Pahl:284). Discuss the ethics of this experiment. 2. Discuss the moral issue of informed consent. Why is it so important in medical research and experimentations? What are some of the circumstances that make it difficult to obtain? 3. Why is there a need for human experimentation?

Number 1 is the first statement. Number 2 is the second statement.

In 1887 a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was beriberi.Symptoms of the disease include weakness and loss of appetite, victims often died of heart failure.Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with bacteria fromthe blood of patients with beriberi. The injected chickens became sick. However, so did a group ofchickens that were not injected with bacteria.One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, designed a new experiment based on his ownobservations. Before the experiment, all the chickens had eaten whole-grain rice, butduring the experiment, the chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researchedthis interesting case and found that polished rice lacked thiamine, a vitamin necessaryfor good health.1. State the question or problem that Dr. Eijkman investigated. 2. What was the original hypothesis? 3. What was the manipulated (independent) variable and the responding (dependent) variable? 4. Write a…

O A population in which 50% of the people are vaccinated against the virus. O A population in which 90% of the people are vaccinated against the virus.

Acquired characteristics of parents can be passed on to offspring
Which of these statements about the virulence of rabbit myxoma virus is TRUE?A. Rabbit myxoma virus needed to become less virulent so it could coexist with its rabbit hosts.B. Directional selection favored a coevolutionary escalation where resistance evolved in rabbits and less virulence evolved in the virus.C. Rabbit myxoma virus became less virulent over time because natural selection favored strains that did not immediately kill the rabbit hosts, enhancing the likelihood of spreading and infecting other rabbits.D. None of the above is a true statement.

Based on evidence presented in lecture, why might it sometimes be best not to treat the fever associated with a common cold? O Common fever drugs such as aspirin can interact with viruses causing a bad reaction O You should always treat a fever as it can damage the host O The fever is adaptive to the host and helps the host's immune response O The fever is adaptive to the host and reduces viral growth D Question 14 You have discovered a new species of bird in which the males and females are gray, but the males have a variable number of purple stripes. You think the purple stripes are a sexually-selected trait that reflects 'good genes.

The survival of the offspring produced by each male The mass of each male The number of mates attracted by each male The number of offspring produced by each male
