Food Safety; Pests and Vectors; Air Quality

Air pollution is an environmental health problem in many cities throughout the world. Residents in an urban community through which a major freeway transportation route runs are suffering from a number of health effects. The local organization arranges for you, a health educator, to consult with and assist a nurse from a local community clinic in planning and implementing a program that will address reduction in exposure of the community, particularly children, to air pollution and thereby reducing the impact of air pollution in the community. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
