GUARANTEED
Barriers to Access to Healthcare - ANSWER lack of health insurance,
inadequate health insurance, insurance coverage limitations, workforce issues;
barriers are greater among the uninsured
Inequity vs. Inequality - ANSWER Inequality: unavoidable; the quality of
being unequal; disparity of distribution or opportunity
Inequity: avoidable; bias; unfair circumstance
S-curve - ANSWER Pattern growth that starts out with a rapidly expanding
population that then expands more gradually until it reaches the carrying capacity
-a balance between environmental resistance and biotic potential
J-curve - ANSWER Pattern of growth that expands rapidly past the carrying
capacity and then crashes
-before environmental resistance factors kick in to reduce population size
, Public Health Strategies to Control Population Growth - ANSWER Reduce
child mortality rate:
-reducing the number of children leads to a decrease in mortality
-- Smaller families have higher child survival rates
-- higher income per person
-- more opportunities and resources for education, vaccines, and hygiene for
mother and child

4) 90% of water and fish samples from aquatic environments are contaminated by
pesticides
-Depletion of Global Resources
1) Fresh water: drinking, cooking, washing, agriculture; unevenly distributed
2) Fuel: deforestation leads to the degradation of land
3) Arable land: The amount of land under cultivation is declining
4) Food from the sea: decline of harvests of fish and shellfish
-Climate Change

Major Role of Federal Government in Environmental Health - ANSWER -
Identify hazards in the environment and to set safety standards that must be met by
industry and by state and local governments to protect people from these hazards
Carrying Capacity - ANSWER -The number of organisms that can be supported
in a given environment without degrading that environment
, -Factors that determine capacity
1) availability of freshwater and fuel
2) amount and productivity of arable land
3) disposition of wastes
-In many parts of the world, the carrying capacity may already have been exceeded
1) leading to environmental degradation
2) large migrations to urban areas
3) disruption of social patterns
Sources of Radiation - ANSWER -Cosmic radiation
-natural radioactive material found in soils and rocks
-radon gas, produced by the natural radioactive decay of uranium (present in many
homes)
-Ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes skin cancer
-X-rays
-radioactive materials in medications and the Radithor scandal led to the
strengthening of the FDA
