Assignment: Chemistry of Hazardous Materials
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.
