local bodies can be cleaned by point-of-use water purifiers. Noise can be controlled
by acoustic measures or personnel protective equipment and rodents and vectors can
be controlled by pest control activity. Wherever residents cannot afford expensive
resources, for example, slum dwellers and tribes in forest areas and rural areas, poor
health may need to be compromised with. Furthermore, in areas of conflict (war, sabotage, strike and communal violence), financial resources may not be of much use.
9.4.3 Clean External Environment
The external environment is affected by multiple factors. The environment we live
in is shared by biotic components of the ecosystem that we are a part of. Pollutants
do not respect political boundary and air exhaled by one animal is inhaled by another
animal, which holds good for humans as well.
The external environment (Figs. 9.21, 9.22, 9.23, 9.24, and 9.25) affects water,
food, air, light and noise, which dictate health of humans and animals. Many
