Scholarly Activity

Open your current course project document, A Pollution Prevention Plan (P3) Pre-Assessment Study, from Unit III, and review your grading feedback from your professor.

Make all necessary changes to update and correct your Unit III work, pursuant to your grading feedback.

Under the fourth level 1 (centered, bold) heading titled Potential Societal Health Impacts, carefully consider then summarize all potential pollutant impacts of the scenario’s characteristics on global societal health, evaluated by the measurement of the Department of Environmental Quality’s operational effluent total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). Be sure to cite using APA Style as you write, using the CSU Citation Guide as your APA citations style guide. A link to the guide is provided below.

Under the Abstract heading on p. 2 of the document, write a maximum of one sentence that reflects what you have addressed in the document for this particular unit. (Remember that we will be adding to the abstract with a single sentence in each subsequent mini-project assignment.) Be sure to keep the abstract blocked (not indented) and double-spaced.

Under the References heading on the last page, update your references to include the source references that you used to inform your work in this section of your project. Follow APA Style when writing references. Be sure to use the CSU Citation Guide as your APA references style guide. It also provides guidance that will help you with APA-Style formatting.

Leave the rest of the template blank after adding the information for this unit. Remember that you will complete each subsequent section (under each of the remaining level 1 headings) during each subsequent unit’s assignment.

You must use your textbook and at least one additional scholarly source (either a book or a scholarly journal article from the CSU Online Library databases) for each section of this document. Each of your sections’ content must be at least one full page in length, in Times New Roman 12-pt. font, double-spaced, with 1” margins.

Comments…

One thing to keep in mind is that when you write something such as, "...not only to the miners but also to the truck drivers since the mines are sold by the truckload," you are stating a conclusion. A conclusion without a foundation is a bit argumentative. For example, I may say that truck drivers are not exposed because anything that is blown off the truck goes behind it.

Your point may be valid. However, you do not make the foundation for those arguments. If you are going to make argumentative statements you either need to make the arguments for which this is the conclusion or use a reference so that you use someone else's arguments to draw this conclusion. I am not saying that what you said is wrong, but get in the habit of laying a foundation for the conclusions that you state. If that does not make sense, reach out to me and we can talk about it.
