Question 1:

(Part 1): When a consumer goes to the store and picks up an item, the first thing that they usually do is look at the name of the product on the label. The product's label contains a lot of useful information. Imagine that you were given authority to revise the requirements of product labels. Identify one category of product labels you would want to redesign. Explain what information you would require on the labels, how it should be displayed on the label and, what information (if any) you would remove from what is currently found on the labels. Discuss whether or not you support having requirements for labels, and explain why. Reflect on a time that you could not find some information you were looking for on a product's label. What information were you looking for? Is that something that you would make a requirement on your revised label?

(Part 2): This unit's required unit resources focuses on the topic of product labeling. Significant information can be obtained from the labels of chemicals, pesticides, food, medication, skin products, and even shipping containers.

Develop a response using at least two credible references that address the following:

A. Identify and discuss the purpose of at least three different types of product labels.

B. Explain the federal requirements for product labeling.

C. Discuss at least two limitations of product labels and what can be done to address these limitations.

D. Discuss the purpose and requirements for shipped container and workplace labels.

E. Discuss possible implications of missing or incorrect label information.

Question 2:

(Part 1): What is an example of industrial development that has had few or no negative effects on the environment? What was done to limit the pollution? Do you believe more could be done to limit the effects of industrial development in other areas? Why, or why not?

(Part 2): Research an environmental pollutant, and compose a scholarly activity response that discusses the following aspects of the pollutant:

A. Identify the pollutant.

B. Discuss how this substance is produced and how it is used.

C. Explain how the pollutant is introduced and transferred throughout the environment.

D. Discuss the negative effect the pollutant has on the environment.

E. Provide two examples of the negative effects of the pollutant on the environment discussed in two peer-reviewed research articles.

F. Discuss how the negative effects of the pollutant on the environment impacts humans.

Question 3:

(Part 1): Reflect on the topics and concepts that were covered this term. Explain why understanding toxicology is important for safety in the workplace. Then, identify and discuss at least one concept that you would like to learn more about from the assignments or articles that you have come across while completing assignments in this course that could be applicable to your present or future career. Explain how it would apply to your present or future career.

(Part 2): Analyzing Toxic Effects

Gabriele is a 31-year-old native of Urban City, America. She is a sales associate at a store in the local mall, and her husband Charles is a 37-year-old welder at a local factory that assembles heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They have been married for 5 years. They are both diabetic, and Gabriel's husband is currently undergoing tests to evaluate him for possible bladder cancer.

Many years ago, there were nationwide news headlines about the poor water quality in her city. The headlines of new reports stated that the drinking water was contaminated with lead at an average concentration of 5 ppm. What the news reports did not mention is that the water also tested for arsenic concentrations of up to 12 ppm. Gabriele remembers being told not to drink the water from the house anymore. For a while, the government even supplied bottled water for the residents in her area. Over the years, the media news died down. The government has claimed to address the water problem and showed that they successfully removed the lead contamination from the drinking water, so everyone in her area resumed life as usual. Sometime later, the free supply of bottled water stopped being offered, and people resumed drinking and cooking with the water from their faucets. The elevated arsenic level in the water supply was never addressed.

Based on the case study, prepare a case study report at least one page in length that answers the following questions:

A. Explain how arsenic from this scenario is processed in the body. Discuss factors that can affect toxicity.

B. Explain the symptoms and effects of long-term arsenic exposure.

C. Discuss the target organs and impact on these organs from arsenic toxicity.
