One way the environment might negatively affect my health is through second-hand smoke from the air. Secondhand smoke comes from “burning tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes” (CDC, 2018). Secondhand smoke increases the risk for heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke (CDC, 2018). One step I can take to protect my health is to reduce the chance of exposure. Avoiding areas where people are allowed to smoke cigarettes will significantly limit my exposure to tobacco smoke.
Another way the environment can negatively affect my health is through hazards at my workplace. I work in a hospital which deals with infections on a daily basis. In order to reduce my risk for acquiring an infection at a hospital, I must be diligent with sanitation and sterilization. Hand washing is the best way to reduce transmission of infection. Maintaining precautions with patients and sterilizing tools between use is also very important.
Eating undercooked food is another way my health can be negatively affected. Many foods, especially meats, need to be heated to a certain temperature, usually 165 degrees Fahrenheit, before they are deemed safe to eat. Failure to do so may result in acquiring some microorganism that has been cultured on the food; this microorganism could then enter the body and cause damage to the immune system and other organs (CDC, 2019).

There have always been some obvious hazards in our daily lives that we take certain measures to avoid, but after reading this week’s resources, I was enlightened on some different hazardous exposures that I was not initially aware of. Working in the medical field, we pride ourselves on being sterile and clean to prevent the spreading of germs and diseases. This also comes along with daily exposure to highly chemical induced cleaning supplies. In my medical clinic we specifically use Sani-Cloth germicidal disposable wipes to wipe down all of our equipment daily. This product specifically contains dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chlorides and dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides, both which have the precaution of being hazardous to humans and animals. The biggest protective measure I use with this product is donning personal protective equipment, or basically wearing gloves before handling the wipes to limit direct contact exposure and dermal absorption.
Water quality is another important factor in our daily health because we all need water to survive. I feel that it is always difficult to determine the quality of water you are getting from different sources and what they claim to be clean or purified. Public water fountains are usually connected to public water systems that have the potential to contain additional fluoride pollution or run-off from chemicals and pesticides used near water sources. The best way I have found to protect myself from water pollution is to carry my own water with me when going out. We also took the extra money and effort to install a reverse osmosis water system in our home to ensure a good filtration system with our drinking water at home.
Second hand smoke is another health factor that can affect our air quality on a daily basis. Even though society has limited many public access buildings from allowing indoor smoking, it is still possible to be exposed to the negative health effects even with minimal exposure. The chemicals released from tobacco smoke can travel and linger throughout the air into whatever area you may be waking through and be inhaled without purpose. Even though my workplace does not allow smoking within a certain range of the building, I still have times where I can smell someone smoking in the parking lot or while I’m walking to my car without even being near the person smoking. In order to protect my health from these type of exposures, I try to avoid the obvious person that may be smoking if I can see them. Other times when I start to smell smoke, I usually try to hold my breath to avoid direct inhalation the best that I can. I also often see people smoking in their cars with the window down that will pull up beside me at a light. When this happens, I will quickly roll my window up to avoid any potential inhalation of the smoke chemicals.
Another potential health hazard that I come in contact with on a daily basis is food safety. In a society where I feel more people are trying to eat healthier foods, we are becoming more aware of the potential exposure to pesticides and chemicals used to enhance our farm grown foods. The best way I have learned to prevent food contamination is to properly wash and rinse produce after bringing it home from the store. I also try to buy certain produce and meats only in the organic version.

Support staff is a huge component in making the classroom a successful place for learning. When I observed Amanda’s kindergarten summer school classroom for the previous assignment, she had two others supporting her in the room. One of the adults was focusing on helping the students and the other was cleaning things up and preparing materials for the next thing. It seemed that the three of them had a good working relationship; they were friendly, well spoken, and seemed to have the best interest of the students in mind. While I believe it is important to keep the classroom clean and safe, I feel as though the other adult in the classroom should have been working with the students instead of cleaning. Because this was a summer program, many of the students required a lot of assistance as they are still working on mastering skills necessary when entering Kindergarten. I think the more help they receive
