Environmental Pollution is an incurable disease.
It can only be prevented! said Barry Commoner. 
It is very evident in todays world where
pollution levels are alarmingly high in most of
the populated cities in the world. We wear
helmets, gloves, glasses etc. while driving to
protect ourselves from pollutants and prevent
ourselves from any illnesses that may be caused.
These are called PPEs - Personal Protective
Equipment.

In Industries we see PPEs in terms of hard
hats/helmets, overalls, hand gloves, masks etc.,.
These not only prevent employees from industrial
pollutants and contamination but also ensures
their safety at work. PPEs form a very essential
part of healthcare. Doctors, nurses, attendants
etc., who work in the healthcare industry are at
direct risk of contamination when it comes to
diseases and infections. Hygiene of a hospital is
very important not only for the doctors and other
healthcare professionals but also for the
patients.
