What will be the impact of environmental change on the disease ?What additional knowledge is required?

Case study . SARS as chosen health topic.
This case study will allow you to explore in detail a particular one health issue . It is important that you do not just concentrate on one particular aspect of the disease e.g. just the epidemiology or just the characteristics of the disease or just the ecology, but rather take a one health approach and cover a range of aspects in the case study.

The question regarding what will be the impact of environment change on the disease will require you to do some hard thinking. In most cases you will not find references that give you the direct answer. You will have to take what you’ve found and what you know and then work out what the potential impacts will be
⦁ Animal-human-ecosystem dynamics
⦁ How can the disease be prevented?
⦁ What additional knowledge is required?
⦁ What will be the impact of environmental change on the disease ?

Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue, why the sun and sky appear reddish at sunrise or sunset, or why clouds usually appear white?

Wx Talk: Sky and Clouds Show and Tell

All About the Water: Atmospheric Moisture and Clouds

Select one of the following discussion topics:
• Earth’s Colorful Sky – Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue, why the sun and sky appear reddish at sunrise or sunset, or why clouds usually appear white?

Read the Chapter 2 Focus Topic Blue Skies, Red Suns, and White Clouds to gain some insight on the physical reasons behind these things we observe daily but often take for granted.

By the fourth day of the module, formulate and post a roughly 200-word essay that succinctly addresses the discussion points provided for the topic. Identify the title of the topic at the top of your essay.

Who or what activities are being regulated or affected by the policy? Have these companies or groups resisted the regulation or policy? If so, how? Or do they appear to be accepting of the policy? Is there evidence of polarization among the public regarding this policy?

The paper should be approximately 16 pages, 6 Chapters in length, and have at least 15 peer-reviewed articles as references. Please, double-space your text and use a 12 pt. font.
Please clearly state your objective(s) in writing the paper and make sure to include these points:
1. Problem: CHAPTER 1: Overview of what the environmental or natural resource problem or issue is and who it is affecting – what, who, when, why, and how? Is there some degree of scientific uncertainty associated with the problem?
2. Policy Response: CHAPTER 2: What public policies exist to regulate the problem/issue? What policy instrument(s) are being used?
3. Implementation: CHAPTER 3: Which agency is implementing the policy? Who has authority? What is the level of funding and source(s) of funding for implementation?
4. Policy Legitimation and Politics: CHAPTER 4: Who or what activities are being regulated or affected by the policy? Have these companies or groups resisted the regulation or policy? If so, how? Or do they appear to be accepting of the policy? Is there evidence of polarization among the public regarding this policy?
5. Evaluation: CHAPTER 5: Have there been any efforts to evaluate the policy? Have any reports been produced on how effective the policy has been? Any press articles describing the policy and its effectiveness? What type of data or information, and analysis would be required to evaluate the effectiveness of the policy? How should the results be shared and with whom?
6. Policy Fine-Tuning: CHAPTER 6: Finally, is there any evidence of efforts or interest in modifying the policy among policymakers, the public, or the regulated industry?

Water treatment plants – are they in good conditions, are they efficient? Do they need a better standard of wastewater before releasing to the environment?

The report should consist of an executive summary which provides key information from your main report including your suggestions for the future.
Three sections of the report.
An introduction, it should include information on the geography, land mass, water resources including river systems, population with proportions living in urban and rural areas, climate – is that have a high rainfall or is it a dry? What water resources does this country have available to them, is it one of the water stress areas of the world, does it have a lot of rivers and good ground water?
Climate and any water resources and pollution issue should be explored, including incidents of waterborne disease. Any specific issues in terms of water pollution – for instance, mining wastewater pollute the rivers, no treatment- it is going directly to the water courses and how much problem is that or the country doesn’t have very much in the way of an established sewage treatment approach, then you know what are the key pollution problems that related to public health for this nation. Any statistical information available to support your report and recommendation should be included.
Background information
Information on the range of wastewater treatment currently being employed with additional information on a range of other options for dealing with wastewater.
You may be looking at different approach for cities and rural areas, diagrams may be useful additions.
Water treatment plants – are they in good conditions, are they efficient?
Do they need a better standard of wastewater before releasing to the environment?
Relatively small city centers and a lot of rural areas on the outskirts and they may need a different approach.
Growing population in cities, do they need to do something drastic there?
Your assessment of future needs and recommendations as to the options available – along with your rationale for your recommendations. These should also consider feasibility and costs. This section of the report has higher weighting with regards to marks.
