areas, indoor air pollution is much worse than outdoor air pollution, Due to the amount of time people nowadays spend indoors, people’s health risks increase due to the air pollution indoors. These are a few of the less known indoor air pollutants (“7 Sources of Indoor Air Pollution”): 1.New carpet. Carpet materials can emit a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 2. Broken compact fluorescent lights. If they break, CFLs can emit mercury, a neurotoxin, in small amounts into the air.…

indicate a period of moderate, high or very high air pollution may be taking place or is likely to happen soon. These triggers are intended for use by organisations that operate real-time public information services. Air quality guidelines and standards Clean air is one of the basic requirements for good human health and well-being of the humanity. More than 2 million premature deaths each year can be attributed to the effects of the indoor and outdoor air pollution (WHO, 2006). Developed…

environment.2” Discussion/Current Research In 1970, Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and passed the Clean Air Act. This gave the federal government ability to clean up air pollution in the United States of America3. The EPA and states, tribes, local governments, industry, and environmental groups have worked to establish a variety of programs to reduce air pollution levels across America3. Under the Act, EPA and states set emissions limits for motor vehicles and…

How is your quality of life? This is a question that many clinicians strive to answer with all patients across the continuum from acute to chronically ill. Clinicians have an insatiable drive for the answers about the clinical judgments they make each day. Moreover, clinicians hold very deep convictions based on the training and experience that can only be improved using convincing data or information. Clinical outcome is a health state of particular patients. Furthermore, clinical outcome is…

Introduction Since the management team decided to assess the effective factors on the quality of the welding in the manufacturing process by utilizing simulation, we have to briefly describe the used simulation process called Design of Experiment (DOE) and understand the characteristic of such analytical process. Basically, the process of accumulating the data based on the observations is time-consuming and costly and miscalculation in the return of investment on the improvisation can be…

My project closely resembles quality improvement as I am attempting to improve the surgical patient’s oxygenation status by performing deep breathing exercises while simultaneously weaning them off supplemental oxygen. Quality improvement “is aimed at improvement – measuring where you are, and figuring out ways to make things better” (“Contrasting QI and QA,” n.d.). Some principles of quality management and quality improvement is that it must operative in an organized structure, requires…

When you’re told that you’re visiting what used to be the largest landfill in the world, it’s not like you’re excited to see it, let alone smell it and stand in it. But as we stepped off the bus at Fresh Kills, we were greeted by green grass, wildflowers, and a cool breeze. I knew Fresh Kills was in the process of being capped and that in 30 years, it’d be one of the largest national parks and that parts were already open to the public but I wasn’t expecting rolling hills and seagulls. Fresh…

Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking, about life, and how someone might defined the overall quality, of his /her life. “ Quality of life”, is different to everyone, no two people will define it the same way nor will it be explained in the same manner. Since there are differences of opinion as to what “quality of life” actually is a working definition for this paper should be established. Therefore the definition I will be working with will be as follows it is a very complex…

impacts the indoor air quality. A large number of pollutants are produced in a short period of cooking time. It is best to remove these pollutants immediately at the time of cooking, and range hoods are currently the best solution. However, this solution is only good if its capture efficiency is good and therefore it is critical to know how to calculate and maximize this efficiency. Range hoods can only remove some fraction of the cooking pollutants before they blend into the kitchen air and…
