ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH FROM
GLOBAL TO LOCAL CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION VERIFIED QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
●● Triple planetary crisis
Answer: synergy between climate change + pollution + biodiversity loss
●● Exposure science
Answer: having enough measurement-based (quant) evidence that
justifies an issue and gives a basis to find a solution
●● Quantification
Answer: knowing details to complete an action plan (dose, duration,
pathway)
●● Translation
Answer: the same laws apply in any place (bio and physical laws)
●● Feasibility
Answer: knowing how to use a tool to see if a solution will work in
specific pop
,●● Goal of Exposure Science
Answer: fill the gap btw high-level policy goals and field-level reality
●● Wujie case
Answer: WATER → build relationships (social capital) to do work
●● Knowledge transfer (Taiwan historical blueprint)
Answer: high-to-low income tech and experience transfer (Ex. malaria
and vector control in Taiwan, framework for East Asia)
●● CT Factor
Answer: C × T, where C is the concentration of disinfectant remaining in
the water (mg/L) and T is how long that disinfectant is in contact with
the water (minutes). The product tells you the "disinfection dose" a
pathogen actually receives.
●● Breaking point
Answer: when chlorine finally becomes available and is no longer being
consumed by other materials (now free chlorine particles)
●● Hydrologic Cycle
Answer: precipitation, runoff, storage, evaporation
, ●● The Sag curve
Answer: pollution in river → bacteria eat → oxygen depletes (SAG) →
pollution is eaten → oxygen returns in water (air + plant)
●● Dissolved oxygen (DO)
Answer: measurement of oxygen in water (pollution is being added
faster than it can cover)
●● Conventional water treatment
Answer: the classic 4-step process most cities use: coagulation
(clumping particles together), sedimentation (letting clumps sink),
filtration (straining remaining particles), and disinfection (killing
pathogens with chlorine or UV).
●● Multi-barrier treatment
Answer: don't rely on any single step to protect public health using
multiple independent layers of protection.
●● Taiwan (taipei city)
Answer: multi-barrier
●● Taiwan (rural areas)
Answer: conventional
