Social distancing is the practice of increasing the space between individuals and decreasing the frequency of contact to reduce the risk of spreading a disease (ideally to maintain at least 6 feet between all individuals, even those who are asymptomatic). Social distancing strategies can be applied on an individual level (e.g., avoiding physical contact), a group level (e.g., canceling group activities where individuals will be in close contact), and an operational level (e.g., rearranging chairs in the dining hall to increase distance between them).
Social distancing (along with wearing masks!) is something to help stop the spread of coronavirus. The guideline is 6 feet because it has been tested that coronavirus cannot spread person-to-person at a distance of six feet. You can keep any distance, as long it is 6 feet or more.
Chemical spills are types of pollution that is believed to
have the most impact in society. This event poisons the environment and kills
organisms instantaneously or sometimes at a slow rate in a given
geographic location on Earth. Irresponsible human activity is the cause of these spills and laws have already
been passed for its proper regulation.
