Based on money and Materials Our modern life became a big illusion. The Real life and happiness needs 1- Security 2- Health 3- Life essentials (food – shelter etc). The Real life and happiness lie behind a natural life in a clean environment. We are sinking in different types of pollution. The consequences of pollution include: 1- Climate change the Heat melts ice, worsens weather and expands oceans. 2- Human health effects a- Climate changes b- Pollutants. 3- Plants and animals Natural habitats become hostile. Pollution is a Global Problem with no but a Single must be a Global Solution that is Go Green, Reduce CO2 and Stop Pollution.

14. Effects of Noise Pollution
Noise pollution
• Affects both health and behavior
• Can damage psychological health
(Irritated attitude, reduced tolerance, undue fatigue, loosens confidence level, affects mental
sharpness and decision making)
Noise pollution can also cause:
• Annoyance
• Aggression .
• Hypertension .
• High stress levels .
• Hearing loss.
• sleep disturbances, and other harmful effects.
• Chronic exposure to noise may cause noise-induced hearing loss.
• Older males exposed to significant occupational noise demonstrate
significantly reduced hearing sensitivity than their non-exposed peers.
16. Noise control or noise mitigation
Set of strategies to reduce noise pollution or to reduce the impact of that
noise, whether outdoors or indoors
Basic technologies
Sound insulation: prevent the transmission of noise by the introduction
of a mass barrier. Common materials have high-density properties such as brick, thick
glass, concrete, metal etc.
Sound absorption: a porous material which acts as a ‘noise sponge’ by
converting the sound energy into heat within the material. Common sound
absorption materials include decoupled lead-based tiles, open cell foams and
fiberglass
Vibration damping: applicable for large vibrating surfaces. The
damping mechanism works by extracting the vibration energy from the thin sheet
and dissipating it as heat. A common material is sound deadened steel.
Vibration isolation: prevents transmission of vibration energy from a
source to a receiver by introducing a flexible element or a physical break. Common
vibration isolators are springs, rubber mounts, cork etc.
Roadways[edit]
18. Light Pollution
• Light pollution, or photo pollution or luminous pollution
• Excessive, misdirected, or obtrusive artificial light
• Pollution is the adding-of/added light itself, in analogy to
added sound, carbon dioxide, etc.
Light pollution Caused by
• Degradation of photic habitat by artificial light.
• Alteration of natural light levels in the outdoor environment.
• Due to Indoor light pollution human health is compromised.
19. According to the 2016 groundbreaking “World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness,” 80 percent of the world’s population
lives under skyglow. In the United States and Europe 99 percent of the public can’t experience a natural night!

Serotonin, a major player in regulation of the mood
Like serotonin, melatonin plays important roles in physical and
mental health

42. Radiation Vs. Radioactive
Contamination
Radiation is particles or waves of energy
emitted from unstable atoms.
Radioactive Contamination is radioactive
material usually in any location you do not
want it.
Exposing a material to radiation does not
necessarily make it radioactive, but
radioactive material on a non-radioactive
item, makes the item contaminated.
44. Radiation and Contamination
Control Methods
Common sources of radioactive
contamination
– Sloppy work practices
– Poor housekeeping
– Opening radioactive materials/systems
without proper controls
– Leak or tears in containers
– Damaged Sealed Sources
– Spills
Control Methods
Used to reduce exposure to
1- Rradiation
2- Radioactive material contamination

3- Respect and Understand the Postings
• Treat all radiological areas as if everything was contaminated.
4- Upon Completion of Work
• Be sure to survey yourself
• Hand washing is a good work practice and an important final
step after working with any radioactive material.
Control Methods
52. Medical staff depreciation or consumption
(infection – radiation – melatonin suppression - stress)
1- melatonin has a calming effect on several reproductive hormones,
which may explain why it seems to protect against sex hormone-driven
cancers
2- Causing cancer cells to self-destruct, melatonin boosts production of
immune-optimizing substances such as interleukin-2, which helps identify
and attack the mutated cells that lead to malignant cancer
Nurses who work nights had 36 percent higher rates of breast cancer
Women who work night shift are found to have breast cancer rates 60
percent above normal
Blind women, whose eyes cannot detect light and so have robust
production of melatonin, have lower-than-average breast cancer rates

63. We are all involved to save our planet
earth
• Be a mentor
• Be a resource
• Lead by example
• Always use best practices
The goal is to propagate the evidence based new scientific facts
To create a global awareness about the newly emerged rapidly growing lifestyle diseases
and the way for prevention
Every one is involved and is responsible to accomplishing this mission
The safest way possible is to follow the trustable sensible sources of informations
Do not to rely upon or be deceived by the accumulated funded historical lies and myths.
