As you know, humans need food, shelter, clothing, and other manufactured goods. The production activities related to meeting these needs are sources of environmental risk. As a result, the environmental health management field focuses on risks from food production and manufacturing. In this assignment, you will examine risk in one of these areas, evaluate its characteristics for creating outrage, and describe management efforts for the risk.
Instructions
Write a 4–5-page academic paper using the following instructions:
Select one environmental health risk created by food production or manufacturing, including details about its location and the number of stakeholders affected.
Analyze the release, exposure, and health effects of an environmental health risk, supporting risk analysis with two examples and research references.
Research the circumstances under which exposure takes place. Either document examples of releases that have taken place or describe plausible release scenarios.
Provide examples of the effects, specific exposures, and health-related incidents.
Evaluate how the attention-getting potential of two risk communications is based on their characteristics, using the features listed in the textbook that are likely to arouse outrage.
Refer to Page 47 of the textbook which lists the features of a risk that are likely to arouse outrage.
Evaluate the success of at least two risk management or harm reduction approaches for the risk. Support your evaluation with references from four resources.
These management or reduction efforts may include the following or others:
Laws that apply to limiting or regulating the activity.
Programs or laws that require cleanup related to this risk.
Costs of mitigation or treatment of effects.
Use at least four sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the libraryor review library guides.
