The purpose of this paper is to identify, evaluate and plan for the threat of your potential or actual toxic exposure to a specific chemical as a consumer.
The toxic chemical may be a chemical element, a chemical compound, chemical solution or a chemical mixture.
Some toxic chemicals such as air pollution, tobacco smoke and medications are mixtures of several chemical compounds, but count as single chemicals for this purpose
The paper is to be written in your own words as a persuasive document, that is, you are to convince me that there is a real threat to consumers.
Justify your opinion by citing internet or other sources and developing the logic of your case.
SECTION ONE: of the paper is to identify and justify the selection of the specific Toxic Chemical Threat you chose for your paper.
Consider exposure to:
1. Prescription medicines
2.Over the Counter Medicines
3.Household Products
4.Food/Beverage Additives
5.Recreational Drugs/Beverages
(Licit/Illicit)
6.Occupational Chemicals
7.Environmental Chemicals
The discussion must cite at least three data sources such as:
Federal Agency websites:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH),
Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
.Department of Agriculture (FSIS),
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR)
2. Websites found by keyword searches such as blogs, manufacturers, medical information, etc.; and other sources including class notes or interviews.
At least three sources must be cited.
Four or more sources are preferred and typically result in better papers.
You must choose at Least One Website that disagrees with your Conclusions.
Contact me if you cannot find a website or other source that disagrees with you conclusions.
Where the websites or sources disagree or
Contain differing information,
Compare and contrast the data sites that you use in each of the following sections of the paper.
SECTION TWO:
Is to address Consumer exposure and vulnerability factors (especially: students, faculty, staff and visitors to IUB).
You are to use worst-case scenarios in developing the vulnerability assessment.
1. How severe are the consequences of
exposure.
2. How many are threatened by exposure.
3. How available and effective are remedial
actions.
4. Is this an Acute or
Chronic threat or both (explain)
5. Is this a Systemic or
Target Organ Threat, (What Organs?)
What Are the More Likely – Probable – Chemicals That Will Interact With Exposure to the Selected Chemical?
What Type of Interactions May Occur With Other Chemicals
Antagonistic
Additive
Synergistic
Section Three:
Is to be devoted to a Risk Assessment of the Threat.
The Risk Assessment of the threat is a discussion involving the combining of the probability estimate (likelihood of occurrence) and
Expected consequences
You are to use worst case consequence scenarios to determine the degree of risk.
Justify the assumptions you use to make your evaluations.
I realize you do not have access to specific information about:
Numbers of persons who may be exposed,
Medical or emergency actions, etc.; but,
You can still make reasonably informed judgments from the information presented in class and your own observations and web searches.
SECTION FOUR: Is to present a personal plan of action.
Develop a plan of action for your personal safety from toxic chemicals including:
1. How you will determine what chemical threats you face and
2. How you can mitigate the personal risk you face from the specific threat cited.
Make recommendations for how you and others at risk can avoid exposure to harmful levels and/or interactions with other toxic chemicals
SECTION FIVE: is to present your conclusions.
Bring it all together and convince me in your own words that the toxic chemical threat you identified is real and needs to be controlled.
Identify and include actions you think the responsible Indiana University officials, government agencies, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, etc. should take to better inform, warn, and train the public.
