Assignment: Fighting Air and Water Pollution
Conduct a case study on a location of your choice and identify sources of air or water pollution. Discuss any environmental laws the pollutants or polluters are violating. You will have the option to discuss a relevant factor in your location, such as environmental injustice, epigenetics, or sustainable development.
Instructions:
1. Research, find, and describe a case of air or water pollution from a location of your choice from within or outside of the United States.
2. Discuss the pollutants and how they would be in violation of any current pollution laws or legislation in the area. If here in the United States, how they would be in violation of the Clean Air or Clean Water Acts? Or perhaps the country you have researched has no restrictions on pollution for air and water, discuss how this would further endanger the lives of humans and wildlife in the area.
3. Choose one of the following special topics below and discuss how the source of pollution is contributing to it. Be sure to support your work with at least two pieces of scientific evidence:
• An Environmental Injustice
• A threat to Epigenetics by potentially causing inheritable gene defects
• Defies sustainable development (contributes to the degraded environment and causes harm to wildlife or the ecosystem)
