<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

Discuss the implications of each of the following three suggestions that were put forward to overcome the high sulphur dioxide e
Pachacha [2.7K]
1. shut down the factory
This is a suggestion that will not be implemented simply due to the fact that the factory is likely to be bringing profits and meeting the requirements of a specific product or products. Shutting the factory down will mean great losses, which makes this suggestion non-feasible.

2. Move the factory out of the city
First, "moving" a factory is not as easy as it sounds. For a factory to be set up, many factors are considered such as the availability of raw materials and transport cost. Moreover, the emissions will still not be lessened if the factory is simply moved.

3. Increase the height of the factory's chimney
If these emissions are harming the nearby environment, this suggestion will help to reduce those effects. However, the negative effects will inevitably occur if there is a high level of emission of sulfur dioxide occurring, such as acid rain. Therefore, this does not solve the problem, only changes its nature.
