Facts about dengue and climate change<\/b>
1. At around 30\u201332oC, vectorial capacity can increase substantially owing to a reduction in the extrinsic incubation period, despite a reduction in the vector\u2019s survival rate.<\/p>\n

2. Warming above 34o C generally has a negative impact on the survival of vectors and parasites.<\/p>\n

Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the incubation period of dengue 2 virus in Aedes aegypti could be reduced from 12 days at 30oC to 7 days at 32\u201335oC.<\/p>\n

Over 2000 school children participate in Inter-Eco Club Competitions<\/b>

Facts about noise pollution released<\/b>
\u00b7 Everyday noise exposure, compounded over time, has an impact upon our ability to hear.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Excessive noise can ultimately affect the degree of the presbycusis that develops.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Constant exposure to loud noises can cause high frequency sensorineural hearing loss.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 As per Occupational Safety and Health Administration, all employees who are exposed to a greater than 85 dB time-weighted average must be enrolled in a hearing conservation program and provided hearing protection.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Furthermore, OSHA\u2019s standards limit employees\u2019 exposure to noise as follows: if the time-weighted average is 90 dB (which is equivalent to the noise made by a power lawn mower), they may be exposed to that noise for 8 hours; at 95 dB only 4 hours of exposure is allowed; at 100 dB only 2 hours are allowed, and so on.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 A short blast of loud noise also can cause severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, pain, or hyperacusis (pain associated with loud noise). This usually involves exposure to noise greater than 120 to 155 dB. Thus, hearing protection in the form of muffs or plugs is highly recommended anytime a person is exposed to loud noise.<\/p>\n

Facts about smog released<\/b>
\u00b7 Smog is a serious problem and is harmful to human health.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Ground-level ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide are especially harmful for senior citizens, children, and people with heart and lung conditions such as emphysema, bronchitis and asthma.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It can inflame breathing passages, decrease working capacity of the lungs, cause shortness of breath, pain when inhaling deeply, wheezing and coughing.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Smog can irritate the eyes and nose. It dries out the protective membranes of the nose and throat and interferes with the body\u2019s ability to fight infection, increasing susceptibility to illness.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Hospital admissions and respiratory deaths often increase during periods when ozone levels are high.<\/p>\n
