Answer to Question 1

Health problems linked with pollution include heart disease; headaches and dizziness; decline in cognitive functioning; eye irritation and impaired vision; nasal discharge; cough; shortness of breath; sore throat; aggravation of the symptoms of colds, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory problems; nausea; vomiting; and increased risk of cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Job insecurity, such as uncertainty about whether you'll be let go in a pending round of layoffs, increase stress hormones and take a toll on health. Workers who have been fired or laid off must deal with multiple losses: the loss of a paid position, a daily routine, and the camaraderie of coworkers, as well as the possible loss of the ability to support themselves and their families. They experience higher rates of depression and report significantly more anxiety, health complaints, and reduced life satisfaction.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
