Health and Well-Being

While we have alluded to a number of immediate well-being issues connected with sleep deprivation, there remain a number of important longer term health issues to consider.

Labor productivity is very much dependent on the health and well-being of the workers and also on the availability of laborsaving tools and construction equipment. The frequency of strikes, hohdays, slowdowns, and pohtical unrest will also depress productivity. Closed-shop practices or demarcation disputes will also affect the productivity of labor. The use of standard equipment, parts, and methods tends to improve productivity.

Need to consider that the person s actions may be a serious risk to their health and well-being. It is preferable to inform a responsible adult who will take appropriate action, even if it feels as though you are getting your friend into trouble . 

Very dangerous - may well be an illegal drug, may be toxic and may have adverse effects on your health and well-being. Also, you may well be committing an illegal act. 

Plants are detrimental in many ways to the health and well-being of man. It is difficult to quantify the health aspects of weeds. Weeds known to produce allergenic reactions in humans can be divided into two major groups. One group produces skin eruption as a result of bodily contact with the plant, while the other produces symptoms usually affecting the respiratory tract through inhalation of pollen grains. 

Debate whether recreational drug use should be considered as a legal issue or as a health and well-being issue. 

The determination of quantity in complex mixtures is also vital in health care and medicine. We are all familiar with the medical examinations in which a sample of blood or urine is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The procedures used have been developed by chemists, and are performed by trained chemical technicians. The high level of automation achieved by the chemists who designed these analytical procedures has greatly reduced the costs of such analyses. Clinical analysis continues to be driven by a need for better methods to detect and measure important proteins, for example, that while present in tiny amounts are relevant to our health and well-being. 

Many mysteries remain to be solved in the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Clearly, this group of disorders constitutes an important threat to human health and well-being. They, moreover, represent a fascinating problem for the investigator at the interface of immunology and toxicology. 

The chemistry of the earth s surface, or active layer, influences our health and well being. Natural background variation of surface chemistry is rather high because of the variety in age and depositional environment of our bedrock. This variety is captured by the New Brunswick component of the NASGLP. 

These data constitute convincing evidence that anatomical and related functional differences in the heart and the blood vessels are sufficiently large to have a profound influence on the metabolism of each and every tissue and, hence, on the health and well-being of all the individuals concerned. Concentration on "the normal human being" causes us to miss seeing these relationships and may make unlikely the application of remedial measures which would be effective in individual cases. 

We will merely call attention here to the tremendous inter-individual human variability which exists in the anatomy of the endocrine glands. This variability is foreshadowed by the data already given with respect to rabbits and pigeons (pp. 2021). Since a separate chapter is devoted to these glands and their functioning, specific anatomical information with respect to the specific glands will be presented there. It is possible that these anatomical variations are more important from the standpoint of health and well-being than any we have so far discussed.
