Description

A few environmental problems: Biological hazards,Chemical hazards, Physical hazards, and Lifestyle hazards.

Here is where you will submit your final project that you were introduced to in week 6, please review the instructions below and submit the project when you are finished by the due date.

Your final project should be creative and interesting, and should be a minimum of 6 pages in length not to exceed 8 pages and you will use APA style formatting. It should be well-organized and demonstrate an orderly flow of information that clearly addresses the subject chosen.

You should incorporate the following elements in the project:

  1. Problem identification: Clearly indicate the issue you will discuss and the influence this problem has on land, air, water resources, plant life, animal life, and human societies. Discuss the long-term effects this problem will continue to create without a comprehensive solution. The problem can be of local, national, or global scope.
  2. Solutions currently implemented: Discuss how the issue has been addressed historically. Determine the courses of action taken in science, technology, political and economic systems, laws and regulations, community-based initiatives, education, and so forth. Review the successes and limitations of these actions.
  3. Recommendations: Explain the actions that you believe need to be developed and implemented to accomplish change. Discuss your solution from multiple perspectives, such as educational, legislative, scientific, technological, economic, and other points of view.

In addition you should cite at least three other credible sources. Put these on your last page as works cited. You are cautioned to check out internet sources. The web abounds with junk science that is totally unreliable. Be sure to cross check your sources.

Chemical Hazards

Introduction
The World Health Organization posits that the increase in the use of chemicals is as a
result of economic development in different areas that include transport, agriculture, and
industry. Exposure to these chemicals takes place in different ways including air, water, food,
and soil. Imperatively, chemical hazards affect how people live and work. Chemical hazards are
present in different areas like exhaust gases emitted by vehicles and plant machinery, and
industrial processes that create solid and hazardous waste. Exposure to hazardous chemicals
remains a critical issue in global healthcare sector because of the effects that chemicals have on
people, animals and other objects (CDC, n.d). In this paper, the article discusses chemical
hazards and their effects on natural resources, plant and animal life, and human societies. It also
offers an overview of current solutions that are being implemented and recommendations on
actions that can be developed and implemented to create change in the management of chemical
hazards.
Environmental, Animal and Human Effects of Chemical Hazards
The environmental effects of chemical wastes in different areas that include industries,
research institutions, transport sector and agricultural production continue to draw attention,
especially in the 21st century where chemical hazards have risen due to an increased human
population. For instance, education and research institutions contribute to the generation of waste
materials, most of them highly toxic. The disposal of these toxic materials and chemicals in form
of acids, metals, chemicals, and solvents affects the environment. These chemical materials
affect soil, air, and water and eventually lead to the degradation of the natural environment. The
use of plastics in industries and homes has increased in the recent past because of several

reasons. Plastics are inexpensive, can be used in multipurpose ways, and are light and durable
(Hahladakis, 2018). Further, analysts project that the use of plastics is expected to grow owing to
their nature. However, plastics contain chemical hazards that not only affect the environment but
also human and animal life. Chemical substances contained in these plastics (called additives)
find their way into the human body through the environment, especially soils. The marine
environment and the plant and animal life found there are exposed to plastic contamination and
chemical hazards. Research studies have demonstrated that a majority of animals in the oceans,
lakes, and sees are affected by chemical hazards emi...
