Hazardous Chemicals Case Study
1. How do toxicologists investigate hazardous chemicals? How is this information disseminated to health practitioners and the public?
To investigate hazardous materials they do tests on animals. Then investigate human involvement with the chemical and present information linking the dose of the chemical to the response. All available date on toxic chemicals is on its IRIS, which can be found online.
3. Define total product life cycle, and describe the many stages at which pollutants may enter the environment.
Total Product Life Cycle- The sum of all steps in the manufacture process of a product, from obtaining the raw materials through producing, using, and finally disposing of the product
At each step or in between steps wastes, by-products …show more content…
Why does the EPA have an Environmental Justice Program?
The EPA has this program to ensure that discrimination does not play a factor in the placement of hazardous waste landfills.
14. Describe the advantages of pollution-prevention efforts.
There are four angles to preventing some pollution. To help prevent, the production process must be changed. One way is to use substitute non-hazardous material. Another way is to recycle. The efforts have helped reduce emissions and reduced toxin-containing wastewater.

2. How did the structure of cities begin to change after World War II? What factors were responsible for the change?
Cities began to pop up like mushrooms after World War II due to the returning veterans who needed housing. Due to zoning laws more schools and stores were built as well.
4. What federal laws and policies tend to support urban sprawl?
6. What is smart growth? What are four smart-growth strategies that address urban sprawl?
Smart growth: communities and metropolitan areas choosing to develop in more environmentally sustainable ways
1. Setting boundaries: creating a boundary line for controlled
