Impacts: Emergence of variant diseases


A combination of the following happenings:

Unhygienic practices by individuals

Poor sanitation of habitation

Uncontrollable emission/release of particulates containing pathogenic microorganism/pollutants

Mismanagement of treatment, control and storage plants in containment of pollutants Deterioration of machineries and facilities of treatment, control and storage plants

will result in...

Exposure of contaminants to the environment

|

Accumulation of poisonous /hazardous substance incorporated into the physiological functions & systems of every living organisms , including microorganisms like bacteria

|

Harmless microorganisms due to evolution undergoes rapid mutation of deleterious genes into pathogenic / viral microorganisms

|

Diversifications with the existence of ‘superclasses’ of microorganisms (super virus) which are aggressive & invasive against the protective immunities provided by the immune systems in organisms

|

More powerful & larger doses of medications, ranging from vaccines to antibiotics produced to battle & immunize against stronger pathogen attack

|

Strong medication may produce side effects & harmful to physiological functions/systems of organisms
