CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND THEIR DANGERS – GENERAL INFORMATION
Posted on Apr 09, 2009 under Herbal | No CommentA humid home with little sun can damage your health just as much as a concrete building. We often calculate incorrectly, economising on the wrong things, for what good does it do us to pay less rent if we have to pay more than what we save on doctor’s fees and medicines! Pain and psychological suffering can also be avoided if, when deciding where to live, we consider not only the cost but also the possible effect on our health. Living in a healthy home is of greater value than having modern conveniences and should take priority. Unfortunately, neither the authorities nor the individual are sufficiently interested in solving the question of housing from the standpoint of health. How people’s health would benefit from this knowledge if those in positions of responsibility could be moved to transfer a few million from the military budget to that of health. Such a humane action would definitely be worthwhile, especially if some of the money were to be used to improve the housing conditions in the poorer sections of our towns and cities, where there is little sun and where insect pests, even rats and mice, can still contribute to the transmission of infectious diseases. It would be most appropriate if every country had an effective programme for healthy housing as one of its main targets.
