GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Educational Scenario - energy sources and public health impact
Description
Air pollution is a global problem with effects on public health. While some of the consequences of pollution are unpredictable in terms of climate change, others, such as heat-induced stress , chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancers, among others, are supported by considerable facts and arguments. The energy supply system contributes on a large scale to air pollution, which annually causes more than seven million deaths worldwide, with more than four million deaths being caused by indoor (household) air pollution and more than three and a half million due to outdoor (environmental) air pollution. Given the nature of planet Earth as an energy-dependent system, the educational landscape supports physics teachers in organizing classroom debate on the energy transition to more carbon-neutral environments. The learning experience prepares young people for a heightened awareness of energy sources and the importance of renewable energy to ensure the sustainability of the planet as a viable ecosystem. The impact of the consumption of different energy sources will be discussed, with a focus on the topic of energy rationalization, and respective economic and environmental impacts. With this scenario, teachers will be raising awareness about the implications that energy choices have on problems such as air pollution, the planet and public health.
