Different between Hazard and Risk
A hazard is something that can cause harm, e.g. electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc.

A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm. For example, working alone away from your office can be a hazard. Environmental Health Sanitation and Safety Consult -

A wetland is an area of land that is either covered by water or saturated with water. The water is often groundwater, seeping up from an aquifer or spring. A wetland’s water can also come from a nearby river or lake. Seawater can also create wetlands, especially in coastal areas that experience strong tides.

DO YOU KNOW THAT

Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. Estuaries are home to unique plant and animal communities that have adapted to brackish water—a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.

However, there are also several types of entirely freshwater ecosystems that have many similar characteristics to the traditional brackish estuaries. For example, along the Great Lakes, river water with very different chemical and physical characteristics mixes with lake water in coastal wetlands that are affected by tides and storms just like estuaries along the oceanic coasts. These freshwater estuaries also provide many of the ecosystem services and functions that brackish estuaries do, such as serving as natural filters for runoff and providing nursery grounds for many species of birds, fish, and other animals.

Estuaries are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. Many animals rely on estuaries for food, places to breed, and migration stopovers.

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. For example, turning on a light would seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical energy that is converted.

Do you know that in Ghana
Water
In spite of the progress that has been made to ensure that children and families every part of the country have access to safe drinking water, data has shown that 76 per cent of households are a risk of drinking water contaminated with faecal matter.

Sanitation
Major challenges affecting basic rural sanitation delivery includes lack of planning and coordination of programmes aimed at improving sanitation and this is due to limited staffing in the various institutions and limited resources for capacity building and implementation of programmes.

As at 2015, only one rural household out of ten were using improved household toilets while three in every ten of them practiced open defecation and not a single district in Ghana has achieved an open defecation-free status.

There is no clear urban basic sanitation strategy and plan in Ghana. Various approaches and interventions in urban basic sanitation are not effectively coordinated and monitored. Unlike rural communities, social mobilization for sanitation and hygiene promotion in urban settlements is quite complicated due to its cosmopolitan and multi-cultural nature. However, sanitation is a social and public good whereby every citizen needs to participate in discussions and decisions that will benefit everybody.

Hygiene
The Ghana Demographic and Health Survey reveals that while more than half of Ghanaian households have a designated place for washing hands, only about one household out of every five has water or other cleansing agents available at home.

There Are More Viruses Than Stars in the Universe
Earth is teeming with viruses. There are an estimated 10 nonillion individual viruses on the planet. That's "enough to assign one to every star in the universe 100 million times over," Katherine J. Wu writes in National Geographic.

Days Are Getting Longer
"The tides are the small differences between the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun and the centrifugal forces in the opposite directions. The tides on Earth are strongest when the three bodies are in a line, which happens near full Moon and new Moon. Then the Earth is being stretched out along that line," says Ingersoll.

"The ocean responds the most, but even the solid Earth responds to the tidal forces," he says. "The response consists of water moving in the oceans and rocks moving underground, both of which dissipate kinetic energy. The net result is that the Earth is spinning down—the day is getting longer."

The First Ozone Hole Is Still Healing
Scientists discovered the first hole in the ozone layer, located directly above Antarctica in 1985. The Montreal Protocol of 1987 was the first plan approved by every country in the United Nations and focused on the restriction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs that emitted ozone destroying chlorines).

Clouds Help Regulate Earth's Temperature
"If you bring all water droplets in clouds to the surface, you would cover Earth with a liquid film no thicker than a human hair," Schneider of Caltech tells Popular Mechanics. "And yet, this tiny amount of water makes the difference between cool overcast summer days and warm clear days. And it is immensely important for climate. On average, clouds cool Earth by 13 F relative to what global temperatures would be without clouds."

"How much global warming we get crucially depends on whether we get more or fewer clouds as the climate warms," Schneider says. "Climate models do not agree on the answer, because simulating clouds and the tiny amount of water in them is hard. At Caltech, we are working on using AI to make climate models and their cloud simulations better, to get more precise answers about how climate will change."

Seas Could Rise 2.5 Feet By 2100
"We are headed toward a two-foot sea level rise by the end of this century," climate scientist Tapio Schneider of Caltech tells Popular Mechanics. "Consequences from a one to two-foot sea level rise could mean severe threats to low-lying island nations, loss of narrow, shallow beaches, and a demise of marine ecosystems."
