Instructions

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

· Browse the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Laws & Regulations web page (Links to an external site.).

· Review Chapter 4 of the course textbook.

Suppose a manufacturing facility emits into the air a chemical that it has reason to believe is inadequately regulated by the EPA and that poses a significant threat to nearby residents even at levels lower than permitted by the EPA. As manager of the facility, would you be satisfied to meet the EPA required level or would you install the additional controls you believe necessary to achieve a reasonably safe level? Keep in mind that installing these controls would be expensive and you can anticipate resistance from corporate executives as well as shareholders. Explain why or why not. Support your answer with one or more of the ethical theories from Chapter 4 of the course textbook.

Your initial response should be a minimum of 200 words.
