Everyone knows that health care is the most important value for people but not everyone remembers it all the time…

The aim of this project to explore basic facts influencing on our health and ways of their solving both in developing countries like India or Tanzania and in developed countries such as Britain, Russia and Komi Republic in particular and on the level of our gymnasium as well

The main problems of this project are the following: to find the most important causes of illnesses in developed and developing countries to research how the ecological situation in Komi Republic (especially in Vorkuta) influences on the health of people in our town to research which health protective methods are arranged in Gymnasium 3 to find out the ways of being healthy especially during the cold winter months

Working under the project I studied The main ecological problems in Russia and in Britain The environmental problems of Komi Republic and Vorkuta in particular The main health protective measures arranged in Gymnasium 3 Studying of different causes of diseases in developed countries Tips how to stay healthy Studying of different diseases in developing countries Bird flu as a new kind of disease The results of the project

The main kinds of environmental problems studied in the project Russia 1. Air & water pollution 2. Oil & natural gas waste 3.Nuclear & radioactive waste 4.Giving out toxic materials The UK 1. Air pollution 2.Nuclear waste 3.Giving out toxic materials Komi Republic 1. Air pollution 2. Water pollution Vorkuta 1. Air pollution 2. Water pollution 3. Giving out toxic materials

After studying these kinds of environmental problems I can say that : Development of the technique progress Development of the industrial technologies Necessity of natural resources Serious environmental problems

Influence of industry on the ecological situation

Studying the environmental problems of Vorkuta in particular I researched that The main polluters are Heat and power plant-1 and -2 and Vorkuta mines The Vorkuta river is the dirtiest in Komi Republic The most serious problem is the quality of drinking water because of the maintenance of calcium and chlorine in it:

As a result such harmful ecological situation leads to the serious problems with health. Giving out toxic materials into the landfill results terrible headaches and even symptoms of asthma in our town. So I made a survey to find out the view of Vorkuta inhabitants to the following problems: Which is the most spread disease in Vorkuta What are the most evident causes of such diseases What health protective measures are taken for reducing the amount of illnesses Which is the most effective way to staying healthy The questionnaire consisted of 6 questions and 5 different answers to be arranged by importance. Ive asked 63 people (21 students in the age of 15 to 18, 21 adults in the age of 23 to 47 and 21 medical workers in the age of 25 to 50). With the help of this survey I also tried to research if there are any differences between the tested peoples answers and what could be the reasons.

The survey shows that The most spread diseases are catarrh and asthma The main causes of them are the ecological problems and the climate Health protective measures promote the reducing of the amount of illnesses The opinions of the tested people are different Students dont have enough information about the other diseases spread in Vorkuta The age Having life experience Working in different spheres Personal health Different information got by mass media

According to survey the most spread illness in Vorkuta is catarrh. Really, there are a lot of pupils who disease from it three times and more during the school year in Gymnasium 3 The amount of ill pupils who diseased three times and more The school yearThe amount of missed lessons The amount in average , ,3 The amount of missed lessons because of illness

The main health protective measures arranged in Gymnasium 3 Medical examination led by all doctors annually Examination by dermatologist and tuberculosis specialist Dentists inspection Annual childrens vaccination from different kinds of diseases Special medical groups for children attending PE lessons Skating and skiing during PE lessons Conducting of psychological tests for determining different psychological problems

Studying of different causes of diseases in developed countries As you see I studied only some causes of the illnesses spread in our town. From such problems people often suffer in developed countries Heart attacks Psychic disorders Cancers Asthma Necessity of Balanced food Going in for sports Protecting the nature Food Bad habits Stress Insomnia Ecological problems

Studying of different causes of diseases in developed countries A guide to daily food choices Fats, oils and sweets: as little as possible Milk, meat & eggs: 2-3 servings a day Vegetables: 3-5 servings Fruit: 2-4 servings a day Bread, cereal, rice and pasta: 8-11 servings a day
