14 Oct Final Project – Fighting Air and Water Pollution
Overview:
Conduct a case study on a location of your choice and identify sources of air or water pollution.
Discuss any environmental laws the pollutants or polluters are violating. You will have the option to
discuss a relevant factor in your location, such as environmental injustice, epigenetics, or sustainable
development. This will be due at the end of Unit 7.
Instructions:
• Research, find, and describe a case of air or water pollution from a location of your choice from
within or outside of the United States.
• Discuss the pollutants and how they would be in violation of any current pollution laws or
legislation in the area. If here in the United States, how they would be in violation of the Clean Air
or Clean Water Acts? Or perhaps the country you have researched has no restrictions on
pollution for air and water, discuss how this would further endanger the lives of humans and
wildlife in the area.
• Choose one (1) of the following special topics below and discuss how the source of pollution is
contributing to it. Be sure to support your work with at least two (2) pieces of scientific evidence:
o An Environmental Injustice
o A threat to Epigenetics by potentially causing inheritable gene defects
o Defies sustainable development (contributes to the degraded environment and causes
harm to wildlife or the ecosystem)
Requirements:
• Provide multiple pieces of supporting evidence in your claims, using at least two (2) scholarly
resources.
• Include all references and citations formatted correctly in APA.
• Project should be at least three (3) pages in length, with additional Title and Reference pages.
• Use complete sentences and appropriate grammar and spelling.
Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before you write
and again after you write
