I had always known that there were a lot of phobias, but definitely never heard of most of these! It's crazy to hear what people are scared of. I looked it up, and I have podophobia, a fear of feet! I hate hate hate hate feet. So gross! Anyways, Good activity Steve!

Shar's Virtual Environment

Basement: Mold growth, Carbon Monoxide from appliances, Don't use ozone creators in your household. I was most surprised by the ozone creator, the solution was to eliminate the source of the problem all together!

Laundry Room: Dryer Steam, The dryer did surprise me because I had never heard of someone who doesn't have the steam going to the outdoors! The solution was just to have the steam go outside!

Kitchen:Gas Stoves produce nitrogen dioxide! You can fix this by making sure to have a range hood which will help collect the fumes.

Living Room: Wood smoke contains harmful substances. The solution is to keep your fireplace well maintained and have the chimney cleaned once a year.

Garage: Exhaust from a car creates carbon monoxide. The solution to this is never leave a car running in the garage!

Bedroom: Mold growth! It's important to find the source of humidity and rid it!

Bathroom: Cleaning supplies have harmful gases. Read and label all cleaning supplies and always follow the directions when using them.

Roof: Water damage through the ceiling can promote mold growth. Always get leaks fixed asap!

This activity was really fun. I hadn't thought of a lot of these problems as allergen pollutions! I was most surprised by the fact that mold can grow in about any room!

Kaileigh's Nature Log

What are the types of long term care policies?: I was surprised the most by this that there are absolutely no policies that will cover medical expenses fully.

What do policies cost? The policy cost varies depending upon ones: age, benefits, and deductible periods.

I think that long term coverage and care needs to be a nationwide policy! I never realized that Medicare did not cover long-term health care, and I really think that this is a problem. I also did my advocacy project on health care availability and affordability, and I think that it is something that everyone needs and deserves!

Our landlord actually gave us a speech about lead poisoning when we first signed our lease for our house! She left us pamphlets and brochures about it, and made sure that we were aware that our house was built before 1950 so there could be lead present! I'm not sure if she's actually ever had it checked or not, but this is something that she seems pretty passionate about, so we try to be as safe as possible!

Christens Environmental Health

I definitely thought there was some major bias going on in this video! However, it definitely proved it's point! Health insurance is such a huge topic (so huge that 3 people out of our group 1 chose to do their advocacy projects about it!) It's good to know the facts, and what's happening with it! Everyone deserves affordable health care!


GREAT JOB GROUP 1
