During many epidemics, <u>healthcare </u>professionals emphasize the importance of  community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social  distancing because these strategies help <u>reduce </u><u>transmission </u><u>even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are  unavailable.</u>

It is of <u>vital </u>importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

  • Hand-washing
  • Wearing masks
  • Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to<u> eliminate the presence of a </u><u>pathogen</u> <u>from the surface of your hands</u>, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a <u>final barrier</u> that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens <u>cannot remain airborne over large distances. </u>

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission <u>until vaccines or drug-based treatments become  available and </u><u>herd immunity </u><u>can be reached. </u>

If all green plants in the world were distroyed which atmospheric gas will increase
Mila [183]

 Trees are a crucial part of the<span> carbon cycle</span>, a global process in which carbon dioxide constantly circulates through the atmosphere into organism and back again. Carbon is the second most valuable element to life, you know, after water. Anyway, trees take carbon from the atmosphere through <span>photosynthesis </span>in order to make energy. This carbon is then either transferred into oxygen and released into the air by <span>respiration </span>or is stored inside the trees until they decompose into the soil. Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly HIGHER amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and LOWER amounts of oxygen! The filthy air would also be full of airborne particles andpollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and its temperature may increase by up to 12 F.
