As you have learned in this first unit, pollution is a worldwide issue that must be combatted. Read the scenarios provided below, and choose one to write about for your essay.

Option 1:

A consumer products company in a third-world country manufactures a cough medicine to be sold in the United States as an over-the-counter medicine in grocery stores and in pharmacies. At the manufacturing plant, the flavoring of the medicine is very volatile, and the smell permeates the plant. After the production run is completed, the mixing tanks are washed, and the contents are discharged into a trench that runs for a mile down to the local river. Filters used to remove any particles from the cough syrup are collected and discarded into a local trash pile located at the edge of the property.

 Identify the various environmental compartments that will be impacted by this manufacturing facility.

 If you were hired to be an environmental consultant at the facility, what would be your first steps in changing the manufacturing process (use the waste management hierarchy)?

Option 2:

A municipality is encouraging a furniture company to set up shop and to use local residents for their manufacturing operations. They have hired you as an advisor to identify the technology that the municipality should have in place to dispose of the non-hazardous waste that cannot be recycled or reused. There are two options: construct a new municipal landfill for the entire community or construct an incinerator. In these cases, the methane from the landfill will be burned to provide heat for the municipal buildings, or the heat from the combustion chamber of the incinerator will be used to provide heat the municipal buildings.

 Identify adverse impacts to human health or the environment for each of the two technologies

 Use the adverse effects you identified to make a recommendation to the city council.

Your response should be a minimum of one page in length, not including your title page and reference page. Any outside sources you choose to use should be scholarly sources. All sources used, including textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

. How did the Love Canal incident influence the way we deal with toxic waste in America?

2. Do you think that the area around Love Canal should have been inhabited after the cleanup? Would you move

into such an area? Why, or why not?

3. What does the Blake family’s story indicate about the effectiveness of our hazardous waste regulations? What

more should be done to prevent situations like Hickory Woods?

4. Discuss your thoughts on how the health issues experienced by the Hickory Woods and Love Canal residents

should impact regulations. When public health impacts cannot be definitively linked to contamination, how should the government respond?

Your response to EACH question must be a minimum of 200 words, and EACH response should contain at least one intext

citation. You should include your references at the end of the document. Any sources used, including the textbook,

must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.
