Respiratory tract infections – 125437 Pneumonia – 14272 cases Radiation safety – sources of radiation include x-ray machines, computer, cell phones and natural radiation from ultra violet rays from the sun. The levels from all these sources are not very high as to cause significant cancerous effects. • Occupational health and safety Issues related to health and safety are not well addressed in the District. Residents working in Tea and coffee factories, welding, hospitals, farm laborers who do spraying of farm crops such as coffee, fruit orchards etc and people engaged in vector control activities need to be informed on the safety and health issues that they may be exposed in these occupations. Enforcement of relevant laws relating to occupational health and safety needs to be enhanced.
