Earth Protects Humans from Many of Hazards of the Universe

Effects of hazards differ from person to person based upon combinations of environmental influences and a person's DNA. Much of these graphically located dangers can be mitigated within the home, such as soundproofing a home located next to a railroad track. Note this is not my area of expertise. Some of these are not agreed upon by all experts, such as non-ionising EMF. If you are considering a home purchase with any of the listed or other possible environmental hazards please hire a home inspector that is an expert in the field. Not all home inspectors are the same. Not all home inspectors will tell you what they do not check for in its entirety. If you are reading this I may be preaching to the choir. You must be knowledgeable at least to the point of being able to ask the proper questions.

Much of what is included upon this page comes from government websites and reports, and some come from associations that inspect for the mentioned dangers. Some studies that indicate that these are hazards are conclusive, some are suggestive and others may not have been replicated. Please use this page as a starting point for your knowledge but not the only source. Please know what the source is and how certain it is (are they an authority in their field. Some authorities are sometimes wrong, such as in the autism injection scare, the doctor that wrote the original article admitted that he was wrong and that injections are safe.

Hazards come from above, they exist around us, and they come from below. Hazards can be in the air we breathe, the light that we see or beyond the range of what we can see, substances that touch our skin, what we hear, and what we ingest.

Children are most susceptible to environmental hazards since their bodies are still growing, and still growing rapidly

"What You Can Do

If you are concerned about possible health risks from electric and magnetic fields, you can: Increase the distance between yourself and the source. The greater the distance between you and the source of EMF, the lower your exposure. Limit the time spent around the source. The less time you spend near EMF, the lower your exposure." EPA

Lead

Paint, Drinking water, Paint prior to 1978, Paint might also in rare occassions been mfg prior to 1978 and used after. paint chips could be found by a baby and placed in mouth. Others sources: soil from settled flues of gasoline, Household dust tracked from other sources, Pottery, Glazes specially pottery from forgien sources, Toys. made in other countries that do not have USA standards, Cosmetics, Herbal or folk remedies, Lead bullets, clothing (if brought home from work). Plumbing: "In 1986 Congress Amended the Safe Drinking Water Act, prohibiting the use of pipes, solder or flux that were not “lead free”" (EPA) Even if the house was built after pipes feeding water to the structure are most likely older.

• Sources: "Paint in homes built before 1978 that is deteriorating or chipping.
• Soil near older buildings, airports, or busy roads.
• Drinking water delivered through lead pipes, faucets, and plumbing fixtures.
• Consumer products, such as toys, jewelry, antiques, and collectible items.
• Certain foods, cosmetics, and traditional medicines imported from other countries.
• Jobs and hobbies that involve working with lead-based products and might cause parents or caregivers to bring lead into the home.

vector: swallowing or breathing

Effects of lead on growing children:

• Damage to the brain and nervous system
• Slowed growth and development
• Learning and behavior problems
• Hearing and speech problems
This can cause:
• Lower IQ
• Decreased ability to pay attention
• Underperformance in school

Radon

Is a gas from decaying uranium. Uranium was formed in supernovae about 6.6 billion years ago. Earth has a plentyful supply. "Exposure to Radon causes Lung Cancer In Non-smokers and Smokers Alike"

The Facts... Lung cancer kills thousands of Americans every year. Smoking, radon, and secondhand smoke are the leading causes of lung cancer. Although lung cancer can be treated, the survival rate is one of the lowest for those with cancer. From the time of diagnosis, between 11 and 15 percent of those afflicted will live beyond five years, depending upon demographic factors. In many cases lung cancer can be prevented.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. Smoking causes an estimated 160,000* cancer deaths in the U.S. every year (American Cancer Society, 2004). And the rate among women is rising. On January 11, 1964, Dr. Luther L. Terry, then U.S. Surgeon General, issued the first warning on the link between smoking and lung cancer. Lung cancer now surpasses breast cancer as the number one cause of death among women. A smoker who is also exposed to radon has a much higher risk of lung cancer.

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. About 2,900 of these deaths occur among people who have never smoked. On January 13, 2005, Dr. Richard H. Carmona, the U.S. Surgeon General, issued a national health advisory on radon.

Sound

"Health Effects, Noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of people. Studies have shown that there are direct links between noise and health. Problems related to noise include stress related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, sleep disruption, and lost productivity. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is the most common and often discussed health effect, but research has shown that exposure to constant or high levels of noise can cause countless adverse health affects."

EMF

https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/magnetic-field-therapy-overview

"WebMD How It Works Your body naturally has magnetic and electric fields. All your molecules have a small amount of magnetic energy in them. The thought behind magnetic field therapy is that certain problems happen because your magnetic fields are out of balance. If you put a magnetic field near your body, it's believed things will go back to normal.

Ions like calcium and potassium help your cells send signals. In tests, scientists have seen magnets change how these ions act. However, so far, there isn’t evidence that magnets have the same effect on cells when they’re in your body.""""

"https://www.nonoise.org/library/suter/suter.htm" (https://kids.niehs.nih.gov/topics/pollution/emf)

"Electric and magnetic fields, also known as electromagnetic fields (EMF), consist of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together. These energy fields surround us all the time. Scientific studies have not clearly shown whether exposure to EMF increases cancer risk. A few studies have connected EMF and health effects, but they have not been able to be repeated. This means that they are inconclusive. Scientists continue to conduct research on the issue. (https://www.epa.gov/radtown/electric-and-magnetic-fields-power-lines) "

Are you confused? Are Electrical Fields Theraputic? or Dangerrous?

If you continue reading other sources you will see mention ionizing electical fields and RF waves that have the power to remove atoms from our DNA and non-ionizing which simple cause our DNA atoms and molelecles to jump, jiggle, and shake. In a modern society we will not escape EMF, Radio Waves, however is it differcult to believe that too strong, too much has an affect on us? That said the Earth is a lrge magnetic that keeps us safe by its magnetic fields deflecting radiation.

Radio Waves

Microwaves

Microwave Ovens, Cellular telephone systems (tower to tower)

• In 1932, a German doctor named Erwin Schliephake: “microwave sickness”
• Severe headaches
• Inability to sleep, or exhausting upon waking
• Fatigue
• Frequent infection and illness
• Dizziness

Phones:

"Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It is used to transmit signals carrying information in the form of radio waves. Radio waves are broadcast using a transmitter. When the radio waves reach a receiver, the signal is converted back into the information that was originally sent by the transmitter. When you talk on a cell phone, your cell phone acts as a transmitter and your voice is carried on radio waves to the person you are calling. Their phone acts as the receiver and converts the signal back into your voice. In addition to cell phones, other wireless devices such as radios, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, radars and pacemakers can send or receive RF energy waves." (EPA)

"An Assessment of Illness in U.S. Government Employees and Their Families at Overseas Embassies"

(2020) (https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25889/an-assessment-of-illness-in-us-government-employees-and-their-families-at-overseas-embassies)

"In late 2016, U.S. Embassy personnel in Havana, Cuba, began to report the development of an unusual set of symptoms and clinical signs. For some of these patients, their case began with the sudden onset of a loud noise, perceived to have directional features, and accompanied by pain in one or both ears or across a broad region of the head, and in some cases, a sensation of head pressure or vibration, dizziness, followed in some cases by tinnitus, visual problems, vertigo, and cognitive difficulties. Other personnel attached to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China, reported similar symptoms and signs to varying degrees, beginning in the following year. As of June 2020, many of these personnel continue to suffer from these and/or other health problems. Multiple hypotheses and mechanisms have been proposed to explain these clinical cases, but evidence has been lacking, no hypothesis has been proven, and the circumstances remain unclear."

Air Quality

CO is a colorless, odorless gas. Sources: cars, trucks and other vehicles or machinery that burn fossil fuels, unvented kerosene and gas space heaters, leaking chimneys and furnaces, and gas stoves, CO can cause dizziness, confusion, unconsciousness and death. If the concetratiion is high the Carbon MonOxide will prevent needed Oxygen from getting to vital organs. At 30,000 PPM it becomes deadly.

CO2: cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. and breathing. 60 years ago Co2 was 300 parts per million, todays because of industrialization in urban environments it is close to 500 PPM. Indoors where we wish to make the room weather tight to keep the cold and heat out CO2 reaches 1000 PPM, At this level the is as much as a 15% decrese in cognitive function. as CO2 climbs there may be nausea , attention deficet, increase heart rate. CO2 levels of 80,000 ppm can be lethal. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established a CO2 acceptable exposure limit of 5,000 ppm per 8 hour shift.



Animals in the attic?

There are multiple diseases that can be spread by bird droppings Histoplasmosis, salmonellosis, cryptococcosis, are the most common yet there may be as many as 60 diseases that can cause problems for humans. . Most of these are respiratory diseases which comes from what is growing in the bird droppings such as a fungus, yeasts, or bacteria and can be fatal.

Rodents, most commonly squirrels can cause fires by damaging electrical wires. Squirrel fecal matter like any animal fecal matter including humans should be treated with care as it contains bacteria some of which may cause disease. After the squirrels, racoons, rats, mice, ...etc. have been removed, the droppings should be cleaned up and the area disinfected.

Asbestos

"Asbestos is a mineral fiber that occurs in rock and soil. Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance asbestos has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. " (EPA)

You might locate asbestos
• Attic and wall insulation produced containing vermiculite
• Vinyl floor tiles and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives
• Roofing and siding shingles
• Textured paint and patching compounds used on walls and ceilings
• Walls and floors around wood-burning stoves protected with asbestos paper, millboard, or cement sheets
• Hot water and steam pipes coated with asbestos material or covered with an asbestos blanket or tape
• Oil and coal furnaces and door gaskets with asbestos insulation
• Heat-resistant fabrics
• Automobile clutches and brakes

If fibers from products that used asbestos break loose and entry the air it might be breathed into the lungs and increase your risk of developing lung disease. Considering removing the asbestos? Disturbing asbestos minerals can release tiny asbestos fibers, which increases the problem. Asbestos which is to be removed should be done so by a licesed specialist.

Such diseases are lung cancer, mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that is found in the thin lining of the lung, chest and the abdomen and heart asbestosis, a serious progressive, long-term, non-cancer disease of the lungs (https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/asbestos/)

Most domestic products stop including asbestos in 1989 (https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/asbestos-laws-and-regulations)

Mold

"Mold can cause many health problems. For some people, mold can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing or wheezing, burning eyes, or skin rash. People with asthma or who are allergic to mold may have severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and people with chronic lung disease may get infections in their lungs from mold." https://www.cdc.gov/mold/default.htm

Sources of Humidity that promotes Mold Growth

• Leaky Roof
• condensation air conditioning tubing
• exhaust from dryer
• leaking plumbing
• water table, wet basement

Pests

Ticks, rats, mice, fleas bed bugs Tall grass near house: Ticks, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection. Perhaps the best known by the public. There are many others: Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis , Borrelia mayonii, Borrelia miyamotoi , ourbon virus , Colorado tick fever, Ehrlichiosis, Heartland virus, Powassan disease, Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), STARI (Southern tick-associated rash illness), Tickborne relapsing fever (TBRF), Tularemia, 364D rickettsiosis (Rickettsia phillipi, proposed ....

Mosquito-Borne Diseases

Mosquito-borne diseases are those spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Remove standing water near home (for example, tires, buckets, barrels) to reduce places where mosquitoes lay eggs. Ponds could have filters or fish that would eat the egg, larva, pupa, West Nile virus, Zika virus disease (Zika), Chikungunya Virus, Dengue Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus, Japanese Encephalitis Virus, La Crosse Encephalitis, Malaria, St. Louis Encephalitis, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, ... From what I have read it seems the warmer the climate the greater the number of diseases. Many diseases do not survive thye harsh northern winters.

Dust

Mites

"Rashes, dry cough, labored breathing, mouth breathing, and eczema are a few (but not all) of the symptoms"

Building Materials

Building materials from other countries: "imported to the United States and used in residential construction between 2001 and 2009" waa plaster board which emited volatile chemicals and sulfurous gases — including carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide. This issue made the news on the west coast. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_drywall)

improperly insulation (chemicals)

"More than two years after residents of FEMA trailers deployed along the Mississippi Gulf Coast began complaining of breathing difficulties, nosebleeds and persistent headaches, U.S. health officials announced Thursday that long-awaited government tests found potentially hazardous levels of toxic formaldehyde gas in both travel trailers and mobile homes provided by the agency." Cause improper materials used for insulation in occupant area. Formaldehyde is considered a human carcinogen. (https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23168160)
