discussion

 assignment scenario is as follows:

Mosquito Mess: Your oceanside community has had a long-standing mosquito problem, and insecticides are regularly sprayed via trucks, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft to kill adult mosquitoes. A recent community increase in the rate of mosquito-borne illness is a major public health concern and has consequently led to an increase in the use of such chemicals. Community members are not only concerned about the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne illness, but also at the idea of increasing use of insecticides. Your community's citizens have expressed concern about this potential to contaminate the environment and the risks to public health. Your team will need to define and characterize at least two chemicals used by this community to control mosquitoes and the hazards posed by them themselves.
