Noise in NYC
What was new: I put screenshots. I was already sure that the sleep is the most important thing for us. And it turned out that even a couple of days of disturbance (even 60dB) can make us crazy in that sense. Also for me it was interesting to know the correlation or even dependence between poor people and noise affect. You have poor isolating building = you suffer from diseases = you buy expensive medicine = you remain poor. In addition, shops, bars are not allowed to attract people via sounds which I guess anyway happens sometime... And well while construction I was wondering if in the case of emergency of many time people have for getting any kinds of permission - I found an answer, which is just three days.
Moreover, since it was our own presentation I can also reflect on the process of our work. We failed in the part of discussion, we faced some problem of misunderstanding. However, we overcame this obstacle and understood that something going wrong on time. We discusses the process and realized what was wrong: the way how we work differ from person to person and we need to consider it. Also, we have different background and different expectations and goals for presentation. These all things should be taken into account beforehand and while our first discussion which we organized not well. I am glad that every one of us understood it and we already have plan how to behave ourselves in the future.
What else, I took the most "boring" part which is legislation however, it turned out to be easy to some extant. So I should not be terrified about law there is always some guidelines for average people or at least nice explanation in the internet.

Feedback:  I've already gave feedback to my team and got the same to myself so here I would like to say that it is easier if all instructions will be opened from the beginning (if there were then emphasize it since we didn't notice) also we  waited till the last lecture because we thought we could not cover the topic yet, however we could start making it earlier and add things afterwards if they are missing.
Conclusion: for sure, teamwork is the most demanding. Probably, we need to have some lecture on it because not all things we can overcome within a team. In fact, I like group work and understood a lot about myself during this one.

Lead poisoning
What was new: liked that it was a precise topic. and all information is relevant.

Indoor air in office
What was new: each case is unique due to difference in moisture, temperature, etc. even people! For sure, people are the main polluters on the Earth... :( Smoke can be in solid form in our clothes, so it should be also considered as a factor of polluting inside the room.

Questions: I waited more precise data for, for example, some countries. It would be better to find one concrete case and explain thing on this basis.

Conclusion: I should include more air conditioning (at least opening the windows) in the framework of my healthy lifestyle.

Air pollution from energy
What was new: I liked these pictures, I put them on the right. Will study energy in that terms in the summer more deeply.

Questions: probably the statistics from different countries could be included, for example, if Russia is the most energy producer and there is not so much air pollution from energy sector, so it means that they do something about it. *it is just example. so I expected that kind of data. how countries can minimize effect.

CONCLUSION: to be honest, I can`t learn  a lot from the presentation of my fellow students. Probably, reports would be much more helpful, however, it is just another type of work and presentations are also needed. So that it is nice that I can check slides later on, but... It is called presentation so not everybody put text on the slides (even we didn't). So that you need to check references by yourself to get the whole picture. And it is a matter of the topic if you continue studying or not. So I come to the conclusion that presentation are good way to show the case, that it exist and make you interested in it. Or not.
Overall, I like such reflections, They help to analyze and develop ourselves. I wish we did such kind of things more.

The UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, usually known as the Aarhus Convention, was signed on 25 June 1998 in the Danish city of Aarhus. It entered into force on 30 October 2001.
The Aarhus Convention establishes a number of rights of the public (individuals and their associations) with regard to the environment.  It focuses on interactions between the public and public authorities.

the right of everyone to receive environmental information that is held by public authorities ("access to environmental information"). This can include information on the state of the environment, but also on policies or measures taken, or on the state of human health and safety where this can be affected by the state of the environment. Applicants are entitled to obtain this information within one month of the request and without having to say why they require it. In addition, public authorities are obliged, under the Convention, to actively disseminate environmental information in their possession;

the right to participate in environmental decision-making. Arrangements are to be made by public authorities to enable the public affected and environmental non-governmental organisations to comment on, for example, proposals for projects affecting the environment, or plans and programmes relating to the environment, these comments to be taken into due account in decision-making, and information to be provided on the final decisions and the reasons for it ("public participation in environmental decision-making");

the right to review procedures to challenge public decisions that have been made without respecting the two aforementioned rights or environmental law in general ("access to justice").

Sources: outdoor air, people, chemicals, buildings etc.
Contaminants: CO2, VOC, Ammonia, Radon, Cigarette smoke, spores, bacteria, fungi, viruses, bioaerosols, mild, dust, noise, asbestos fibers
Effects depend on the duration of exposure and can be experienced years later.
___
Ventilation reduce the duration of exposure! Good one when the air refreshes in 1-2h. Also cleaning and drying or even removing water-damaged carpets required.
=> T, moisture, and draft are the ways of controlling the conditions.
The types of buildings depend mainly on the geographical, climatic, economic conditions, but in terms of EH we need to consider the safety of this or that house. If, for example, a window of the house let the air goes through, and the house has the furnace then probably it is better to keep the way for air to come from the window than waiting when the air comes through the floor (where can be found even more contaminants!).
In the lesson, I was shocked that in Vietnam the temperature does not go under 0! Need to revise geography... So it is reasonable that they do not have heat systems, and their houses differ so much from finnish ones.

The A Filter

·         Measurements made on A filters are expressed in dBAs. The dBA sound level meter applies to the mid-range frequencies as opposed to the dBC sound level meter that measures low and high frequencies. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration provides the country's guidelines for employers regarding workplace noise exposure limitations based on dBA measurements in increments of three. For example, the permitted exposure length starts at 85 dBA, with a maximum exposure in a 24-hour period at 139 dBA for only 0.11 seconds.

The C Filter

·         Measurements made using C filters are expressed in dBCs. Unlike dBA, its measurements suit low and high frequency sound levels. The C filter literally filters the sounds the microphone picks up in the sound level meter, used more in entertainment venues. The frequency response function, sometimes called a weighting characteristic, controls the tone by giving more weight to some frequencies than other less important frequencies. When transmitted sound has bass issues or problems, the C filter is typically used.

# data[].attributes.body
L₁₀ is the level exceeded for 10% of the time. For 10% of the time, the sound or noise has a sound pressure level above L₁₀. For the rest of the time, the sound or noise has a sound pressure level at or below L₁₀. These higher sound pressure levels are probably due to sporadic or intermittent events.

L₅₀ is the level exceeded for 50% of the time. It is statistically the mid-point of the noise readings. It represents the median of the fluctuating noise levels.

L₉₀ is the level exceeded for 90% of the time. For 90% of the time, the noise level is above this level. It is generally considered to be representing the background or ambient level of a noise environment.

For a varying sound, L₁₀ is greater than L₅₀ which in turn is greater than L₉₀. The following graph illustrates L₁₀, L₅₀ and L₉₀.

|   | In most cases, the sounds and noises we hear are not steady. Apart from variation in tones, the magnitude or the sound pressure level of a sound or noise changes with time. The n-percent exceeded level, Ln, is the sound pressure level exceeded for n percent of the time. In other words, for n percent of the time, the fluctuating sound pressure levels are higher than the Ln level. Ln can be obtained by analysing a given noise by statistical means.

Sound pressure level (SPL) or acoustic pressure level is a logarithmic measure of the effective pressure of a sound relative to a reference value.
Sound pressure level, denoted L p and measured in dB, is defined by
•Sound Pressure Level is the RMS(root mean square) value of the InstantaneousSound Pressures measured over a specified period of time, measured in decibels (dB).

•Sound Level: Lp is a logarithmic measure of the RMS sound pressure of a sound relative to a reference value, the Threshold of Hearing. It is measured in decibels (dB).
All these terms you can check from http://www.acoustic-glossary.co.uk/definitions-l.htm

since the topic was somehow started, here I put some info from the lesson
Noise is an unwanted sound!
Noise is similar to air pollution since the sources, pathways are quite the same: roads, airports, traffic, industry, construction, forest fire, volcanic eruption.
I was shocked by the fact that almost 3 million people are dying each year from the consequences of air pollution. In addition, even noise pollution can be severe to people: check the pyramid below
___
Our group took NO2 and other N compounds. What was interesting to me is that. for instance, there are more natural sources of N2O. The distribution is seen in the table on the right.

Contaminants in the air are:
•sulfurdioxide (SO2),

•nitrogenoxides (NOx),

•ozone(O3),

•carbonmonoxide (CO),

•volatileorganiccompounds (VOC),

•hydrogensulfide (H2S),

•hydrogenfluoride (HF),

•gaseousforms of metals.
____
Again, managing with these issues can be done through eliminating the pathways (building some barriers from noise or putting water into contaminants from industry) or exposure (using masks)

В настоящее время в России по данным статистики ежегодно город с населением около 1 млн. человек выбрасывает на прилегающие территории до 400 тысяч тонн ТБО, что соответствует удельному выходу отходов на одного жителя в нашей стране порядка 350 – 400кг. в год. [3]

Основные методы борьбы с отходами за последние года в России не изменились: захоронение, сжигание и частичная переработка. Цена потребных ресурсов для этой борьбы высока, но более-менее известна. Так, для захоронения на современном полигоне 5 млн. кубометров твердых бытовых отходов (ТБО) – это годовой объем отходов Санкт-Петербурга, необходимо каждый год выводить из пользования 40 Га пригородных земель, что немало по любому счету, и это не считая все время увеличивающихся расстояний и затрат на перевозку отходов. Однако, традиционно, полигонное захоронение так и остается основным методом борьбы с отходами.

Again there are divisions into groups of hazards: chemical (look mind map), physical (hair, insects, filth, fishbones, glass, metal), microbiological (yeast, bacteria, viruses, protozoa). Most foot diseases are infections.
Contamination can appear at any stage of the process: preharvest, post-harvest, final handling, storage. They are, from one point, can be hazardous but, from another, can be useful (ex. pesticides, yeast). The amount matters! The type of contaminant depends on the type of food: dairy product, vegetables, fruits etc.
For microorganisms, a certain temperature, air (some need, other can survive without or even be poisoned), water, and food are important. While growing, they often produce desirable by-products, but if they grow in another food, they cause spoilage.
Viruses do not need special conditions but require a suitable cause. Viruses, however, do not cause spoilage, but illness by infection.
Parasites need a host and the food is just part of their natural life cycle (nematode worms in fish and meat)

•Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic

•Depending upon the species, cyanobacteria can occur as single cells, filaments of cells, or colonies.

•Nutrient-rich bodies of water may support rapid growth of cyanobacteria. High concentrations of an alga species in a water body form "blooms.“

•Blue-green blooms can pose a human health concern. Although most blue-green blooms are not toxic, some blue-green algae produce nerve or liver toxins.

•Toxicity is hard to predict in part because a single species of algae can have toxic and non-toxic strains. Also a bloom that tests non-toxic one day can turn toxic the next day.

It`s not the water from a tap in your home. It`s coastal or inland water used for bathing (swimming), also pool water.
Some examples of contamination: pathogens, viruses, bacteria, protozoa and fungi, chemicals
The contamination can appear in different parts of the flow of this water, that is why it is important to have_at least_two monitoring points in this system (at the beginning and at the end). In addition, it should be monitored_at least_once a month.
Remember: The amount and the duration!
But how to treat pools?
–treatment (to remove particulates, pollutants, and microorganisms), including disinfection and ﬁltration;

–pool hydraulics (to ensure effective distribution of disinfectant throughout the pool and removal of contaminated water);

–addition of fresh water at frequent intervals (to dilute substances that cannot be removed from the water by treatment);

–cleaning (to remove bioﬁlms from surfaces, sediments from the pool ﬂoor and particulates adsorbed to ﬁlter materials); and adequate ventilation of indoor facilities.

___
Nice fact: the contamination (ex. microbial) can be introduced into water by people themselves.
___
Well, for sure, there are some standards for this type of water as well. And one thing to mention, it is not only for preventing people from getting extra doses of chemicals, for instance, but also for pipes not to be busted.

We use water for so many aims! One of the more vital aims is for drinking purposes.
Let`s see how potable water ends up in our bodies. Resources are ground water or surface water (however, only 2.5% of all water resources are fresh water, that is why the desalinization process is on demand). Even in recourses itself, there can be some contaminants: from soil, from air, rainfall etc. Then while maintaining this water the way of getting should meet all requirements (pumps, pipes), what is more, the bottles for keeping should also be under sanitary standards. What is so common for Russia, is that landfills are next to the rivers (OMG!), so that there must be more water treatment appliances. It`s the example of one of the popular ways of contamination surface water there.
Interestingly, that some of the bacteria can be a trigger "hei, here is the contamination, clean me".
Speaking about legislation, at least in Russia everything is written (since there is an opinion that "everything that is not forbidden is legal"), so every standard, every single action is written in either Law or Directive or more local documents.

# data[].attributes.body
Chemical hazards can be caused by different sources and found in daily-using things such as food and drinking water, everything we touch, indoor and ambient air.
While there are thousands of microbes, chemical compounds and another type of contaminants, we already found the way to check it and monitor online(at least for sure in air). The table on the right indicates which AQI is appropriate. In link (c "more reading list") I was shocked by the fact that in Paris the AQI is so high while in New-Your it`s relatively low. /Need to understand the causation/
No worries  - in Finland it`s low.
In addition, indoor air can be polluted if come microbes are found in the place. Building hygiene should be followed.

Microbes - make mindmap when understand the topic!
•Bacteria - exist by itself

•Viruses - needs a host

•Protists (animal and plant-like)

•Algae

•Fungi (yeasts and molds - плесень)

•Prions

Even fast look at some products showed that all types of food contain (or can be easily affected by) different microbes causing health issues. Well, it can be prevented by maintaining following conditions and rules:

Clean your arms!

Clean kitchen stuff!

Keep warm food warm and cold food cold. (different temperature-different bacteria growth)

Avoid certain kinds of meat (it`s my point since I read some researchers in this topic and pretty sure that "red meat" are more likely to be contaminated by bacteria)

The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 Russia have participated in Kyoto's first-round but have not taken on new targets in the second commitment period
There were established carbon credit system.

Negotiations were held in the framework of the yearly UNFCCC Climate Change Conferences on measures to be taken after the second commitment period ends in 2020. This resulted in the 2015 adoption of the Paris Agreement, which is a separate instrument under the UNFCCC rather than an amendment of the Kyoto protocol.

Land and other natural resources are used and protected in the Russian Federation as the basis of life and activity of the peoples living on their respective territories (Article 9, Part 1..);

Land and other natural resources may be in private, state, municipal and other forms of property (Article 9, Part 2..);

Everyone has the right to health and medical care (art. 41);

Art. 42 is fundamental. It states: "Everyone has the right to a favorable environment, reliable information about its condition and to compensation for damage caused to his health or property by ecological offenses".

Article 71 of the Russian Constitution says, "the setting up of a system... establishing federal administration agencies, laying foundations for federal policy... in the area of environmental development of the Russian Federation" is within the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, that is the President.

However, Article 72 of the Russian Constitution says "The issues of ownership, use and management of land, mineral, water and other types of resources"; also "the use of nature, protection of the environment and ensuring a safe environment and the existence of natural parks" are within the joint management and administration of the Russian Federation and its regions.

We are living in too fast developing world. And now we can feel some consequences of it. These are Factors which somehow affect our health (body, feelings, etc). For instance, this mind map => shows which sources of impact I have in my life within one single morning. These are just thing came to my mind first, of course, there are even more. (I hope it won`t be my psychological problem that I will be worried all the time about affect of environment on me).

Legislation overview
Experts should make some standards for each EH factor and in terms of this decisions should be done to create appropriate legislation. From mind map it is clear who are responsible for each sector in government. (though I am not sure that it covers all aspects and I am completely beginner in this topic)
Risk assesment also should be taken into consideration for controlling the maintenance of state needed by law.

The goal of Ministry of the Environment in Finland:
Promotes sustainable development, aims at creation of attractive and safe living environments, safeguarding biodiversity, prevention of environmental damage and improvement of housing conditions in Finland. Formulates the Finnish Government’s environmental and housing policies on issues such as environmental protection, land use, nature conservation, construction and housing [5]

What about Russia? The law-making segment is the most stable within the institutional framework. There is a wide range of actors involved in law making: the Federal Assembly ( the State Duma and the Federation Council) , Russia’s President, the government and line ministries, as well as similar actors in sub-national and local governments. Also, the Constitutional Court,

the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court of Arbitration have the right to initiate laws. Other stakeholders include lawyers, researchers, and practitioners who act as experts or provide feedback on the quality of the draft laws, etc. This diversity of authorities and stakeholders, generally, plays a positive role in balancing competing interests. Apart the Constitution, there is Ministry of naturalf Resources and Environment (with different agencies)
The main federal laws regulating environmental protection are Federal Law

“On Environmental Protection,” dated 10 January 2001 [8]

mind map=>
Main Russia`s EH problems are deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution (56.3 million people live in cities with high level of pollution) and nuclear waste. Also climate change (Russian climate in more sensitive to the global warming than the climate of many other regions of the Earth), ecosystem degradation, growth of wastes, issue of accumulated environment damage liquidation, and others.
Russia is a party to most of the major international conventions and treaties in the sphere of environmental protection:

• Convention on Biological Diversity (1983),

• Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (1985),

• Montreal Protocol on Substances Depleting the Ozone Layer (1987),

• Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal (1989),

• Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents (1991).

Some basic information which I guess I will understand fully soon.

Environmental epidemiology
−Associations between exposure to environmental agents
and subsequent development of disease
Environmental toxicology
−Causal mechanisms between exposure and subsequent
development of disease
Hazards can be categorized into four types:

1. Chemical

2. Physical

3. Biological

4. Other like physiological, social etc

Risk factors have an impact on human health by three ways: oral, dermal and inhalation.
OK, it`s just theory but what about practice?
All factors are exposed by some sources to an object with one of the probable path. To eliminate the effect of one the factor we should just remove one thing from this chain.

I have never heard the name "Environmental health" before. I bet you don`t as well. So let me introduce this topic to you, my aproach and some thoughts, as far as I know something new and interesting. Feel free to comment and add some information.
