 Environmental health studies the atmosphere and environment that affect the health of people and animals

LEVEL OF EXPOSURE TO SMALL PARTICLES

 Air quality: is defined as a measure of the condition of air. Air quality:An air quality measurement station in Edinburgh, Scotland Air Quality

 Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory system. usually in response to one or more factors like exposure to an inappropriate environment (cold, wet or allergen). Asthma:is used to measure the maximum expiratory flow Asthma

 Electromagnetic radiation and health: is produced by the radiation of electromagnetic waves generated by human activity Electromagnetic radiation and health

 Indoor air quality: is a term referring to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health Indoor air quality

 Lead poisoning: Lead poisoning is a medical condition caused by increased levels of the heavy metal lead in the body. Lead poisoning: An X ray demonstrating the characteristic finding of lead poisoning Lead poisoning

 The power nuclear: about the controversy which has surrounded the deployment and use of nuclear fission reactors to generate electricity from nuclear fuel for civilian purposes.

 Nuclear power: Proponents of nuclear for energy say is a sustainable energy source which reduces carbon emissions and can increase energy security. Cattenom nuclear power plant. Nuclear power

 Nuclear weapons: A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion The mushroom cloud of the aromic bombingof Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945 rose some 18 kilometers (11 miles) above the bomb's hypocenter. Nuclear weapons

 Nuclear and radiation accidents: A nuclear event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility. Nuclear and radiation accidents

 The Chernobyl disaster (locally, Chernobyl Catastrophe) was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (officially Ukrainian SSR). It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.

 Fukushima nuclear accident involves a series of incidents, such as explosions in the buildings where nuclear reactors are faults in the cooling systems or outside release of radiation as a result of the damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami, that hit northeastern Japan on the day on March 11, 2011.

 Nuclear safety: Nuclear safety covers the actions taken to prevent nuclear radiation Nuclear safety

 High-level radioactive waste management: High-level radioactive waste management concerns management and disposal of highly radioactive materials created during production of nuclear power. High-level radioactive waste management Nuclear graveyard

Ana: From my point of view I realized that the earth is not how I thought and I will do my part to improve it. Silvia: I think that the earth would have to improve and we would have to work all to make this a better world. Santi: This work has helped me to see that even though nuclear energy power we have many bad things.
