Instructions

Several organizations publish occupational exposure limits (OELs) including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) permissible exposure limits (PELs), the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists’ (ACGIH) threshold limit values (TLVs), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) recommended exposure limits (RELs). Only OSHA’s PELs are legally enforceable.

Review each type of OEL, and reflect on the pros and cons of each. Which type of OEL do you believe would be the most protective for workers? Explain why.

Review The Disciplines Above And Thoroughly Describe As Many Connections You Can Find Between The Material From Environmental Science And At Least Two Of The Other Disciplines Of Your Choice.

In this course, students are being asked to learn about some basic chemistry, physics and the laws of thermodynamics. Environmental Science is a multi-disciplinary field of study. There are over-lapping concepts with the fields of anthropology, archeology, sociology, psychology and economics. Even in the Arts there are visual artists, writers and musicians, who convey aspects of the natural world in their art. The examples are a poem about a whale that is endangered or a song about an ancient tree.

For this Discussion Board Main Post, review the disciplines above and thoroughly describe as many connections you can find between the material from environmental science and at least two of the other disciplines of your choice. One of the connections should relate in some way to one or more of the Principles of Sustainability addressed in Module 1. Another connection should relate to one of the major Environmental Problems addressed in Module 1.

Population growth (i.e. Humans) is a topic in a future module. Probably a universal cause among authors of environmental textbooks. Please review the Figure 1-16 on page 17 of the textbook.

 Wasteful and unsustainable resource use. Look no further than your vehicles’ gas tank or hot water heater using electricity from coal power generation.

 Poverty (again human). If you are hungry and concerned about where your next meal is coming from, then you will not be concerned about what must be done to conserve an endangered species.

 Failure to include the harmful environmental costs of goods and services in their market price. The consumerism and economics in this course have a direct effect on environmental sustainability. In business (capitalism) a companies’ goal is to maximize profits. If the costs, including environmental costs, exceed the revenue or income, then you may not want to attend the next stockholders’ meeting if you are a corporate officer. If you are a consumer, then what should you expect to have happen? Hint, do you remember the $1.00 tire disposal fee at the tire shop? Where do you think government subsidies for growing corn to produce ethanol fit in the discussion?

 Increasing isolation from nature. Ask a city dwelling child where his milk comes from and you can guess the answer. Many humans do not understand the relationship between wastes and pollutants that they produce. Very few know where they end up in the environment let alone understand the Law of Conservation of Energy, which simply states that no energy is created or destroyed. Module 2 will briefly address this topic and the principal of recycling of wastes that sustains life on earth and which falls under one of the principals of sustainability. It is imperative that people are educated to understand how dependent we are on the earth’s natural systems and natural capital. (Miller & Spoolman, 2015, p. 16)

As with any problem, there is a desire to solve it. The first action is to find the root cause and define it. In terms of what causes environmental problems, it could be summed up in the phrase from the comic strip POGO, by Walt Kelly, “we have met the enemy and he is us”.

The Scientific Principles of Sustainability are:

Dependence on Solar Energy

Biodiversity

Chemical Cycling or Nutrient Cycling

Physics And The Laws Of Thermodynamics Assignments

RUBRIC

Excellent Quality

95-100%

Introduction

45-41 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Literature Support

91-84 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Methodology

58-53 points

With titles for each slide as well as bulleted sections to group relevant information as required, the content is well-organized. Excellent use of typeface, color, images, effects, and so on to improve readability and presenting content. The minimum length criterion of 10 slides/pages is reached.

Average Score

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

0-45%

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
