Topic: Environmental Hazards
After reviewing the instructions for the Unit 3 Assignment and choosing either a Superfund site or sanitary landfill in your community, discuss the potential health risks local residents may experience in relation to the site. What is being done to prevent human exposure to these environmental hazards?
My community is Oahu, Hawaii.

Hello class,
The sanitary landfill I chose is based in NYC, which is my community, it’s reported that These landfills cause the bad odor that surrounds the city, according to Liz Donovan from City Limits (2022), “In 2020, 90 percent of the landfill’s capacity was from the five boroughs, the complaint shows. That reflects an increase of 284,392 tons of garbage from New York City in 2015 to 646,744 tons five years later” (Donovan 2022). Unfortunately, the bad odor isn’t the only thing coming out of these landfills, Dust is a very common factor that can cause respiratory issues and damage and also bring lung and heart conditions to the citizens. However, in December of 2022, the Perinton town supervisor announced a five-year plan to reduce the odor transfer the landfill and make sure the trash does not pass its limit, this has effectively been reducing the odor little by little and also these situations have not gone unnoticed by the DEC, which received serval complaints and have been trying to take action and fight against the effect of these landfills. Effectively in 2021-22, the DEC established the Geomembrane cover to some of the acres of the landfill and this has been a strategy that has been working and supported. As a fellow New Yorker, this trash issue is very much true and very disgusting, there are several parts I don’t pass to stop smelling the foul odor and getting nauseous.

Hello everyone,

The supersite I chose to talk about is C&R Battery Co. INC. The Plant is located south of Richmond, VA near the James River. The site was used to dismantle car batteries from vehicles and repurpose the materials. According to (EPA, 2017), the company would cut open the batteries and dump the acid into ponds on the property. The site has had soil and water samples taken to assess the risk to humans and wildlife in the surrounding areas. Although no groundwater was found to be contaminated, these hazards can potentially cause major illnesses if it were to come into contact with the groundwater. If the acid were to get into the groundwater it could cause higher PH levels in the drinking water and have the potential to make the water more corrosive (Shin, 2018). When the acid is exposed to soil, the soil will become more acidic and harm grass or crops growing nearby. C&R battery was removed from the NPL list in 2022 after five-year reviews determined the site no longer posed a threat to the surrounding area. The site now has controls in place set by the EPA to reduce the chance of environmental exposure (EPA, 2017). The controls make it so that strict action must be taken if any future spills happen on the property.

learn how to interpret and apply the output generated by the procedures:
 Create a Qualitative Research Project
 Import Qualitative Data
 Create and Assign Codes
 Create Document Groups

People often come to public health with the noble goal of making a difference in the world. This goal is often fueled by a passion tied to a specific health issue or interest, sometimes inspired by personal and/or professional experience. The question then becomes, “How do we use this passion to create tangible change?”
We will explore ways to answer this question of “How do we …create tangible change?” throughout the three components of this project titled Public Health + You.
Part One
For part one, you are tasked with the following:
Identify a health issue of interest (make sure this is something you truly care about) in the U.S. context. State the topic in one sentence. (1 sentence; worth 2 points)
Describe the identified health issue. (1-2 paragraphs; worth 5 points)
To do this, you will need to refer to a reputable source to learn about this health issue/topic. DO NOT cite a peer-reviewed research article for this part of the project–that will come later, and I will provide guidance as to how to read and comprehend research articles.
You should consider consulting the following reputable sources: https://www.cdc.gov/Links to an external site. , https://www.nih.gov/Links to an external site. , https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/Links to an external site. , https://apha.org/Links to an external site. , https://www.heart.org/Links to an external site. , https://diabetes.org/Links to an external site. (This is NOT an exhaustive list of reputable sources–this is to give you an idea of where to start.)
State and explain why this issue matters to you. (1 paragraph; worth 3 points)
Your submission should be at least 1 page but at most two (2) pages (not including the references list). You will lose points if you go below the minimum or above the maximum.

Assignment Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The instructions are generated with the help of artificial intelligence to increase details and accuracy.
Objective:
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of occupational health and safety principles to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and propose effective controls within your usual work/study environment in a maximum 10-page report, including photos taken by you of your selected environment.
Structure and Tasks:
1. Choose either a workplace or a home office environment for the assessment.
2. Hazard Identification: Conduct a thorough walk-through to identify five potential hazards. These hazards should span various categories, including people-related, equipment-related, environmental, material-related, and process-related.
3. Take photos of each identified hazard.
4. Provide a description for each hazard explaining its potential risks. Specify possible injuries or illnesses for each hazard, categorized as over-traumatic injuries, overexertion injuries, or repetitive strain injuries.
5. Assess the probability of each hazard causing harm and evaluate the potential severity of consequences. Finally, assign an overall risk level to each hazard (low, medium, high).
6. Recommend control measures for each hazard based on the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE) and justify the effectiveness of the chosen control methods.
Format:
Length: Maximum ten pages. Times New Roman, Size 12. Double spaced. APA citation.
SAssessment Criteria:
– The diversity and clarity in identifying different types of hazards. (30%)
– The accuracy and realism in assessing each hazard’s probability and consequences. (30%)
– Appropriateness and Creativity of Risk Controls. (30%)
– Effective communication of the findings and insights and using the correct format. (10%)
