๐ฟ Introduction to Community and Environmental Health
This paragraph introduces the concept of community and environmental health, emphasizing the importance of a healthy community for individual well-being and societal productivity. It defines 'community' as a sociological group sharing a common environment, including individuals and families. The paragraph outlines the characteristics of a healthy community as defined by the World Health Organization in 2002, such as a clean environment, social harmony, and accessible health services. It also encourages students to reflect on their community's health and consider their role in maintaining it, introducing the topics of refuse materials and environmental problems to be discussed later.
๐ Understanding Different Types of Refuse Materials
This section delves into the various kinds of refuse materials, categorizing them into rubbish, garbage, yard cuttings, street sweepings, stable manure, and ashes. Rubbish includes discarded items like bottles and papers, often found in junk shops. Garbage specifically refers to leftover food waste from kitchens. Yard cuttings consist of garden waste like leaves and branches, while street sweepings involve human waste materials. Stable manure pertains to animal waste from farms. Ashes are residues from fires and incineration. The paragraph also touches on the environmental impact of refuse materials and the importance of waste management, introducing the concept of the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle, as outlined in the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.
๐ฎ Strategies for Waste Reduction and Environmental Protection
Building on the previous discussion, this paragraph focuses on strategies to reduce waste and protect the environment. It suggests practical steps such as reducing the use of plastic bags and straws, and promoting the use of paper bags instead. The concept of reusing materials to prevent waste is also highlighted. The paragraph further explains the process of recycling, which involves transforming used materials into new, saleable products, and composting, which is a natural decomposition method for organic waste. These methods are presented as cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional waste disposal.

good morning everyone
this week we will be having a discussion
of the lesson in the first quarter of
health
the topic for health this first quarter
is all about the concept of community
and environmental health let's begin
with a lesson
this unit will introduce you to the
concepts of community and environmental
health
to make you be aware of the importance
of having a healthy community
specifically this module will help you
to explain the concept of community
health and environmental health
and describe the characteristics of a
healthy community
first i want you to try to think about
what is the difference between community
and environment
community is defined as a sociological
group in a large place sharing one
environment
it therefore includes the individual and
the family
so a community is composed of you as an
individual
and your family as a sociological group
and you all share one environment
while environment is the surrounding in
which you live in
in other words environment is the place
where you and your family is staying
so now
how can you describe a healthy community
or when can we say that a community is
helpful for the people living in it
a healthy community reflects a sense of
well-being
it is the foundation for achieving all
other goals and is essential for a
productive society
thus it also helps in building our
country's economy and in equipping our
students to be healthier in order to
learn and succeed academically
so in this module we will encounter
social issues and problems involving the
threats of community and environmental
destruction
as a student you can take part in
maintaining and promoting a healthful
community and environment
this module is designed for you to
reflect on how healthy your community
and environment are
what activities that adversely affect
them
and what you should do to sustain
community and environmental health
according to the world health
organization
or who in 2002
the characteristics of a healthy
community include the following
a clean and safe physical environment
an environment that meets everyone's
basic needs
an environment that promotes social
harmony and actively involves everyone
an understanding of local health and
environment issues
a community that participates in
identifying local solutions to local
problems
a community whose members have access to
varied experiences
means of interaction and communication
accessible and appropriate health
services and facilities
the promotion and celebration of
historical and cultural heritage
a diverse and innovative economy
and lastly a sustainable use of
available resources for all
after learning what a healthy community
is
we will now be focusing on two different
topics
first is the different kinds of refuse
materials and later the second one is
the different environmental problems
so let's start with a lesson on refuse
when we say refuse
if we use it in the context of community
and environmental health
refuse are the dump food waste or
discarded materials it is composed of
solid semi-solid
liquid and gas materials
basically refuse materials are those
things that we don't want or need
anymore so we put it in the trash
now there are many kinds of refused
materials
and we will learn what these different
kinds of refuses are
the first kind is what we call rubbish
these are waste materials such as
bottles broken glass tin cans waste
papers discarded porcelain wears
pieces of metal and other wrapping
materials
usually these are the things that can be
found in junk shops
second kind of refuse is called garbage
this refers to leftover vegetables
animal and fish material food in kitchen
and establishments
so now you know that garbage is not a
general term
or garbage but actually
garbage only refers to the leftover
foods from our kitchen or from other
establishments
the third kind is yard cuttings
or the garden area
so yard cuttings are those leaves
branches
grass and other similar materials
produced during cleaning of gardens or
after typhoons
the fourth kind is called straight night
soil
this consists of human waste normally
wrapped and thrown into sidewalks and
streets
it also includes human waste from the
pale system
so basically straight knight soil is
a diapers or napkins
again we call this straight night soil
if human wastes are called street night
soil
animal wastes are called stable manure
this includes animal wastes from barns
stables or the likes
again stable manure a manga dominant
and usually maraminitos farm areas
the last kind is called ashes
so when we say ash
so ashes are residues from fires used
for cooking left over from burning wood
and heating and from on-site
incineration
so those are the different kinds of
refuse materials
now as we all know maraming ta o
angualang disciplina
or refuse materials
and this has become our country's
problem
so
how do you think can we lessen the
amount of these refuse materials in our
environment
so here's one way to lessen our
environmental and community problems
through the law ra number 9003
based from the republic act number 9003
also known as the ecological solid waste
management act a highly recommended
formula is to adopt the three rs of
ecological waste management
these three r's stand for
reduce reuse and recycle
which i know you are all familiar with
recycle
when we say reduce in tagalog this means
bawasan or magbawas
so reduce is cutting back on the amount
of trash that we make
meaning
but how
one example is
other restaurants these days wherein
they don't give straws anymore parama
bhavasana pagamet
nagmanga used straws another is human
supermarkets that instead in a plastic
bag on ginagamet pambalot on groceries
they give paper bag so they can lessen
the plastic waste
next is reuse
this means finding a new way to use
trash so that we don't have to throw it
out
ebik sabihin yumabaga napatapuna instead
is
and the last one is recycle
this is the process of making used
materials that are to be disposed
already into useful ones that can be
sold again
it is also the cheapest way of disposing
waste materials
is
another way of disposing waste materials
is composting
this is the cheapest way of disposing
waste materials
it is a form of waste disposal where
organic waste decomposes naturally under
oxygen-rich conditions
it is an easy profitable way of
disposing your wastes applicable
so those are all the discussions on the
first topic about refuse materials
we will now proceed to the next topic
which is the different environmental
problems
in this lesson you will know the most
common problems that we have in our
environment
and its harmful effects on our health
so before we begin
let's try to guess this word
what do you think is the hidden word
behind these jumbled letters
if you answered pollution then you are
correct
good job
this is now the topic that we are going
to talk about
the different kinds of pollution and its
harmful effects
the first kind we are going to talk
about is called air pollution
this means any alteration of the
physical
chemical and biological properties of
the atmospheric air
the air around us become polluted when
we release harmful materials into the
atmosphere in big amounts this materials
are usually gases
very tiny or fine solid particles and
droplets of liquids
when you breathe in polluted air
these chemicals will enter your lungs
first is what we call carbon monoxide
this is a colorless odorless gas
when it enters the body it robs the
brain cells of oxygen
this can lead to brain damage
second one is sulfur dioxide
it is a foul smelling gas that can
irritate the nose and skin and cause
respiratory ailments
the third one is lead
this is a heavy metal which can cause
cancer and brain damage
fourth one is nitrogen dioxide
it causes serious lung damage with
delayed effects
it also causes shortness of breath and
chest pains
and the last one is particulates
this is a very tiny particle that is a
mixture of solids and liquids
examples are dusts and mists
these have been linked to various
respiratory ailments including asthma
now moving on to the next kind of
pollution
we have land pollution
the land becomes polluted when it is
filled with solid wastes that cannot be
broken down easily into very tiny pieces
either by mechanical force or by the
action of bacteria
land pollution usually happens because
people don't do waste segregation or
yumangata
segregate
there are two types of wastes these are
the biodegradables and
non-biodegradables
when we say biodegradable these are
wastes that can be broken down easily by
bacteria
for example leftover foods and animal
wastes the naboo look at
salupa
the other kind is non-biodegradable
which are wastes that cannot be broken
down by bacteria
for example
plastic styrofoam
metals
this is the reason why we should know
how to segregate wastes
the third kind of pollution is water
pollution
this means any alteration of the
chemical properties of a body of water
resulting in the impairment of its
purity and quality
this pollution may cause cholera
diphtheria and diarrhea if taken
diphtheria or diarrhea
or infected
nahindina
and the last kind is noise pollution
this is the excessive sound that causes
hearing loss
stress
fatigue
irritability
tension
headaches and high blood pressure
too much noise in our environment can
actually cause harm to our health
capacity
this may cause hearing loss
stress fatigue irritability tension
headaches or even high blood pressure
the stress
that's why noise pollution is already
one kind of pollution that affects our
health
so those are all the different kinds of
environmental problems and its harmful
effects in our health
and that will be all our lesson in
health for the whole first quarter
