As a group, we feel that environmental health is extremely important for our nation to realize all of the conditions which affects our health and well-being. There are many different problems which all fall under the heading of environmental health while there are still many more which have not been identified yet. Environmental hazards can be classified as biological, chemical, physical, psychological, social, or natural hazards. Even though we, as a nation, can't control many of the natural hazards which occur, it is important there are things implemented which can help control and be ready for a hazard once it comes.
The chapter brought up a great point in stating the worldwide population growth constitutes a potential serious problem and hazard for all. As the populations continue to grow, it becomes more of a hazard because of all the issues surrounding overpopulation. It is important for people to individually do whatever they can to conserve energy and resources. Even though it will not be a direct impact now, it will be beneficial down the road.
