Are Your Air and Water Safe?

Course overview

The quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink is essential to our overall well-being, our economic prosperity, and the environment. Clean air and water play an important role in maintaining our health, and contaminants in either one or both can impact our well-being and lead to the development of many diseases. In high enough concentrations, these contaminants can be fatal. Creating optimal healing environments requires close attention to air and water quality. The outcome of this course is for the learner to describe components of air and water pollution, their effects on human health, and methods of reducing or eliminating these pollutants to create healthy environments.
