This assignment consists of both an interview and a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation.

Assessment/Interview

Select a community of interest in your region. Perform a physical assessment of the community.

1. Perform a direct assessment of a community of interest using the “Functional Health Patterns Community Assessment Guide.”

2. Interview a community health and public health provider regarding that person’s role and experiences within the community.

Interview Guidelines

Interviews can take place in-person, by phone, or by Skype.

Develop interview questions to gather information about the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by the chosen community.

Complete the “Provider Interview Acknowledgement Form” prior to conducting the interview. Submit this document separately in its respective drop box.

Compile key findings from the interview, including the interview questions used, and submit these with the presentation.

PowerPoint Presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 15-20 slides (slide count does not include title and references slide) describing the chosen community interest.

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Description of community and community boundaries: the people and the geographic, geopolitical, financial, educational level; ethnic and phenomenological features of the community, as well as types of social interactions; common goals and interests; and barriers, and challenges, including any identified social determinates of health.

2. Summary of community assessment: (a) funding sources and (b) partnerships.

3. Summary of interview with community health/public health provider.

4. Identification of an issue that is lacking or an opportunity for health promotion.

5. A conclusion summarizing your key findings and a discussion of your impressions of the general health of the community.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA format ting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Air pollution
Nerissa Russell

Community and boundaries:
The twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad had shared ambiance that was found
overwhelmingly filled with pollutants and dust.
The trans-boundary areas of Pirwadhai, sector I-10 and other areas had very bad air
quality due to less tree cover, open garbage burning and vehicular emissions reaching at
extreme level with every passing day.
The AirVisual data only reported air quality in Chaklala scheme-3 and Bahria Town phase-
2 areas of Rawalpindi where US air quality index (AQI) at Chakalala Scheme-3 was 66
(19.3µg/m3 of particulate matter of 2.5 microns- PM2.5). Hence the air quality was
moderate and in Bahria Town phase-2 the air quality was very unhealthy as PM2.5 was
202.7 micrograms per meter cube (µg/m3) with 253 US AQI.
Moreover, Rawalpindi was also facing serious environmental risk due to plastic
manufacturing units set up in residential areas that had been left unchecked by the EPD
and the district administration.

Introduction of interviewer:
I have been an environmental activist for a very long time. I was disappointed by the
traditional protest and the lobby model that most environmental organizations deploy
and wanted to see if we could leverage capital to make a positive social impact. Having
lived in the Caribbean, I generally think that air pollution is one of the most pressing
environmental issues we face today.
Continuing to help cities and individuals tackle the environmental crisis. Number wise,
this means being deployed in thousands of cities, garnering insights and helping enable
data-informed policy to impact citizens in an inclusive and sustainable way. I don’t know
how long it will take to eliminate the air pollution threat to our health and the
environment, but we are committed to this issue and won’t stop until then.

Impact on community and environment:
With air pollution disproportionately affecting low-income communities of colour,
localized air quality data is revolutionary in understanding personal exposure.
When the toxic levels of pollution we see today are a direct result of anthropocentric
actions, we have a responsibility, a duty, to practice environmental stewardship.
There’s a huge information gap in current environmental management practices where
policymakers simply do not understand air pollution enough to effectively mitigate it.

View on climate change
Climate Change is the most pressing challenge that we are facing in the 21st century.
However, we are not doing enough to reach the current 2°C target.
Most efforts we are taking so far focus on mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in
order to stop CO2 concentration growth by 2050, but this is simply not enough.
More aggressive efforts, such as negative emission technologies will inevitably be
necessary to save our planet.

Air pollution, in the meantime, is closely related to climate change. Since a majority of
today’s air pollution shares the same sources as greenhouse gas emissions, developing
air pollution mitigation policies usually result in greenhouse gas emissions reduction, as
in China, for example. In addition, air pollution action can be used to raise awareness
around the global environmental crisis since it has a much more tangible effect on
people’s daily lives while, at the moment, climate change can sometimes be seen as far
too distant an issue for the majority of population.

Statistics about air pollution:
Chemical decomposition
Ozone gas
Examples of air pollution
Primary and secondary air pollutants

Examples:
Primary includes carbon, sulphur, and nitrogen and their oxides and hydrocarbons.
Secondary include oxides and salts of the primary and compounds such as ozone and
PAN. What is a VOC and what are some examples.
Volatile organic compound — methane , propane, CFC’s, gasoline.

Acid deposition:
Secondary air pollution of acidic compounds such as sulphuric acid and nitric acid which
ultimately settles out on land or on water.
Acid deposition is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic,
meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions.
It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure.

prevent or control Indoor Pollutants:
Have air to air exchangers so there is less build-up in the house, don’t smoke, have well
vented stoves use fewer products with formaldehyde glues or seal them well so out-
gassing doesn’t occur. Use less polluting cleaners.
Major indoor pollutants:
Formaldehyde,
Chloroform,
Para-dichlorobenzene,
Styrene,
Tobacco smoke,
Radon,
Asbestos

Source of indoor pollutants:
Formaldehyde — glues in plywood, particle wood, OSB, carpet, furniture
Radon — uranium rock surrounding the basement
Smoke — fireplaces, smoking tobacco and other stuff
Asbestos – best dealt with by simply covering it with paint or plastic not by removing. It
was also used as a sound proofer and as an insulator for steam pipes and chimneys.
Biological Pollutants
Nitrogen Dioxide
Indoor Particulate Matter

Ways to prevent air pollution
Use cleaner fuels.
Use alternative energy sources.
Use devices to trap pollutants before they are released.
Minimize clutter.
Use craft supplies in well-ventilated areas.
Remove carpeting if possible.
Use a dehumidifier and/or air conditioner to reduce moisture.

Effects of air pollution:
Health: animals, plants — can sickens or kill them.
Major problems in animals are respiratory problems such as asthma and lung cancer.
Materials –acid deposition causes major deterioration
