Document Summary
Obesity: cheap food is often higher in caloric. Asthma: sometimes you see higher risks of smoking. Cardiovascular disease: ties in with obesity. Cancer: can"t afford to go to the dentist, higher rates of smoking, more exposure to bad things. Birth defects: more accidental births (less protection), taking vitamins, healthy eating. The estimated number of annual work-related deaths worldwide is 2. 2 million, and each year 264 million work- related accidents cause three or more missed days of work. Workplace injuries or illnesses vary by gender, occupation, and industrial sector. The three largest industrial sectors from which these claims emanate are the service industry, manufacturing, and chemical processing. In a hospital if stuck with a needle by accident you need to go to emerge, and get to chose to take antivirals: people don"t need to test for hiv if they don"t want to.
