IFAP topic 1: public health

IFAP systems are very harmful to workers, people who live nearby, also those who live far away from the systems. They are harmful because they produce a lot of air pollution and water pollution. Workers and people who live nearby the IFAP systems go through more problems that affect their ability to breathe clean air. People who work in the IFAP systems can bring nasty diseases into their homes, which causes the disease to spread and eventually can affect a whole community population. This disease that the meat carries causes the human body to form a resistance against it. Then when there’s a time where you need assistance with something minor, the antibiotics most likely won’t work because your body has created a resistance to it because you’ve been around the meat with the disease. In the end appropriate treatment of great amounts of waste needs to occur or it will result in contamination in close waters. This will cause the water to have very harmful levels of toxins, such as viruses and nasty bacteria.
