WHO: Chronic Illnesses will threaten the world
Chronic diseases such as cancer and heart attack, leading killers in rich countries, will strike hundreds of millions of people in developing nations in an unfolding global epidemic.
The outlook is a crisis of suffering on a global scale. Some 24 million people die each year ferom chronic conditions, nearly half of the global total of deaths from all causes.
The WHO’s 1997 world health report warns that cancer cases will double in developing countries, and jump by 40 percent in richer ones with about 15 million people estimated to develop cancer in 2020, compared with about 100 people a year presently.
One key reason is that people in poorer countries are now acquiring many of unhealthy lifestyles and behaviours of the industrialized world: sedentary occupations, inadequate physical activity, unsatisfactory diets, consumption of tobacco, alcohol and drugs.

Insecticide can be inorganic or organic, that is natural or synthetic . Inorganic insecticides containing fluoride, are only moderately effective, and no longer widely used, although pyrethrum, which is safe around pets, is still employed to some extent against household and garden insects. Nearly all use of insecticides is discouraged or forbidden in all countries on the world because they remain active in the environment long after their functional use.
Herbicides, like insecticides, can be divided on the basis of their function. There is the sort that sterilize the soil and clears and maintains the ground free of all plant growth. Another kills selectively, without harming desirable plants, for example the herbicide, kills but spare grasses. A third one kills all kinds of plants but does not sterilize the soil and plants can later be grown in the same ground. Then there are called systematic herbicides that are applied to foliage or stems and are transported through the plant to kill the roots.
One can also divide the herbicides according to the time of application: for example, a preplanting, a pre emergence, and a post emergence herbicide.

Red Cross and Red Crescent, in full: International Movement of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, formerly (until 1986) International Red Cross – humanitarian agency with national affiliates in almost every country in the world – first established to care for victims of battle in time of war but later aiding in the prevention and relief of human suffering generally. Its peacetime activities include first aid, accident prevention, water safety, training or nurses aids and mother’s assistant and maintenance of maternal and child welfare centres and medical clinics, blood banks, and numerous other services. The Red Cross is the name used in countries under nominally Christian sponsorship; Red Crescent (adopted on the insistence of the
The Red Cross out of the work of Jean Henri Dunant, a Swiss humanitarian, who at the Battle of Solferino, in June 1859, organized emergency aid services for wounded Austrian and French. In his book Un Souvenir de Solferino (1862: “A memory of Soferino”) he proposed the formation in all countries of voluntary relief societies, and in 1864, the first societies came into being.
The Geneva Convention of 1864, the first multilateral agreement on the Red Cross, committed signatory governments to care for the wounded of war, whether they are enemies or friends. Later, this convention was revised, and new conventions were adopted to protect victims of welfare at sea (1907), prisoners of war (1929) and civilians in time of war (1949).
The worldwide structure of the Red Cross and Red Crescent consists of the International Committee of the Red Cross (Comite Interantional de la Croix-Rouge); the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (Ligue des Societes de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge); and the national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies. The international committee is an independent council of 25 Swiss citizens with headquarters in
