Part I: Environmental factors and Health Promotions Pamphlet
Preventive Measures Against The Environmental Factors That Can Affect The Health Of Infants.
Preventive Guidelines
Introduction:
Infant care is the huge responsibility of parent and care givers. The environmental factors are the fundamental elements that are to be monitored to secure the potential hazards of the health and safety of infants. The most evident factor in this lieu is the water consumption. Polluted and contaminated water can cause massive harm to the health of the infant. The immune system of the infants is not developed to survive the consumption of polluted or contaminated water. Hence, the security of infants demands due emphasis over the element of water purification.
Suggestions:
Evidence based research have made it evident that the water consumption should be monitored from the source to ensure the security of water pureness from the source. In case, of private water systems such as well, the water should be tested against contamination and pollution once a year. Steps should be taken to secure the source from contamination. The examination of source water is the primary factor that is to be introduced by the concerns. The parents should check with the authorities to understand the water distribution and purification methods. The water from source should not be used for consumption if suspected against contamination.
