What kind of risks are you exposed to each day over which you have no control? Should people who choose unhealthy lifestyles be covered by national health insurance? Explain in details.
Are you willing to pay for pollution control? List the domains which you are willing to pay (examples: tires and oil disposal, the SUV - tax, etc.). What is your opinion about politicians who would like to close down EPA? Explain in pros and cons.
List three important ways in which your life would be different today if grassroots actions by U.S. citizens between 1970 and 1990 had not led to the Clean Air Acts of 1970, 1977, and 1990, despite massive political opposition by the affected industries. List three important ways in which your life in the future might be different if grassroots actions now do not lead to a strengthening of the U.S. Clean Air Act. How might your future life and that of your children be different if the current Clean Air and Clean Water Acts are not only not strengthened, but instead are weakened or not renewed?

The community in which Ya-Hsuan lives – where she is a health promotion public health specialist, has an airport, waste incinerator and a lead-acid battery manufacturing plant. The community's Health Council has recognized that the amount of lead in the air has steadily increased over time and is beginning to take minor actions to get ready to initiate a number of major measures decrease lead emissions. They plan to begin these initiatives within the next month. To help move the Health Council from its current stage of change to the next, she and her colleagues recognize that is important to assist with development of plans and goals to facilitate the major initiatives and to increase the Council's confidence in their ability to execute needed changes.

In this week's lab exercise you will examine levels of air pollution in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The measurable levels of different pollutants indicate an overall air quality index (AQI). Anthropogenic sources of pollution (Carbon monoxide, Ozone) are a major contributor to higher AQI values but particulate matter (PM-10) is also important in determining an AQI score. Choose all listed sources that would contribute to increased particulate matter (PM-10) levels. and EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHOOSE IT. DEFEND YOUR ANSWER choices: a.
