Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Health hazards to humans from ionizing radiation include birth defects; increased rates of cancer, stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular, renal disease; and immune system damage. Nonionizing radiation leaks from microwave ovens that have improperly fitted seals can cause fatigue and headache.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Deforestation is the clearing of forests to create crop lands. Deforestation contributes to soil erosion, a change in climatic conditions, and air pollution. Climate changes result in increased desertification. A loss of biodiversity results in the extinction of certain species of plants and animals and thus deforestation, desertification, and reproductive changes. There has been an overall increase in temperatures throughout the world. The greenhouse effect is a contributing factor to global warming.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
