Question #1
We come in contact with toxic substances every day. After reviewing the material in this unit, share with the class what you think are the two or three potentially most toxic substances that can enter our everyday lives.
Do you think that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and/or businesses are doing enough to limit these potential exposures? Why, or why not?
Please understand that Fluoride and Formaldehyde cannot be used as examples here. That is due to the vast amount of bad, talking-head science that exists around these materials. If you chose to write on these two materials, you must include a full APA reference for a peer reviewed journal article to support your argument.
Question #2
Unit IV Article Review
For this assignment, you are required to read the article entitled "HazMat Emergencies: Decontamination and Victim Chain of Survival," by Gunderson, Helikson, and Heffner (2014), and write a review. The article may be found in the Academic Search Complete database in the CSU Online Library. Your review must include the following:
? Summarize the key points presented in the article.
? Describe the key elements of a solid emergency response program.
? Discuss why proper decontamination of victims is important.
? Discuss your opinion or what you can conclude from the article.
Your response must be at least 800 words in length. All sources used, including this article, must be referenced.
Paraphrased and/or quoted materials must have accompanying in-text and reference citations in APA format.
