Judul LBM 1: Environment Pollution

Student Study Sheet I

Scenario Environment Pollution
Various kinds of diseases are impacted by environmental factors including physical, chemical and
biological pollution. This indicates that there is an interaction between environment and health. An
estimated 24% of the global disease burden and 23% of all deaths can be attributed to environmental factors.
Diarrhea diseases associated with a lack of access to safe drinking-water and inadequate sanitation result in
nearly 1.7 million deaths annually. Household use of biomass fuels and coal by over one-half of the world's
population, results in 1.5 million deaths a year from pollutionrelated respiratory diseases.
A better understanding of the disease impacts of various environmental factors can help guide
policymakers in designing preventive health programs. The programs should include controlling the root
environmental factors such as air and water quality, patterns of energy use, patterns of waste management
and urban design – which affect health directly and indirectly.

Step 1
1. Diarrhea diseases : disease caused by bacterial infection from contaminated food ; the disease that
characterized by loose, watery stools or a frequent need to have a bowel movement.
2. Biomass fuels : fuel that is developed from organic materials, a renewable and sustainable source

3. Pollution : the presence of a pollutan in the environment and is often the result of human actionit
has detrimental effect on environment
