Epidemiology Exposure Assessment

CSE STYLE – not MLA (I had to enter a choice to submit assignment and CSE WAS NOT AN OPTION) Visit the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) website at the EPA (http://epa.gov/triexplorer). cataloging the hazardous pollutants that have been released in your community (Mantoloking, New Jersey or Ocean County, New, Jersey). Do not use Palm Beach.Begin your paper by describing your community. Include demographics, geography, major industries. Insert a table listing the top ten pollutants released in the highest amount in the latest year for which data are available. Make your table in word processing software rather than a screenshot of the TRI website. If your community has fewer than ten releases, selecting county rather than ZIP code. This section, including your table, should be about one page in length.Pick one of these \”top ten\” chemicals to discuss in further detail. Describe the likely sources for its emission (this information can be gathered from the TRI website). What RfD (Reference Dose) and/or RfC (Reference Concentration) has been established for exposure to your compound, and what are the major uncertainties underlying its calculation? The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) dataset on the EPA website are helpful (http://www.epa.gov/iris). Then, detail the route(s) of human exposure, linking back this information to pollutant release in your home community. describe your pollutant’s known and/or suspected human health effects. You must refer to peer-reviewed articles in discussing the health effects of your chosen chemical. Use PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). It is required that you consult both toxicology and epidemiology research to detail a subset of your compound’s health effects. This section should be three-four pages in length.ADDITIONAL SUGGESTED SOURCES(http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/), (ATSDR), (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/)(http://www.cdc.gov/exposurereport/index.html)(http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/about/resources/faq/index.html)(http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/results/summaries/chronicstudies/index.html)STYLE & FORMATTINGUse name-year CSE style (http://www.scientificstyleandformat.org/Tools/SSF-Citation-Quick-Guide.html) both in-text with parenthetical citations and with a reference page. Final paper should be about 1100-1400 words (4-5 pages, excluding the reference page), be double-spaced, have one-inch margins, use standard professional font type, and use standard professional font size. Please include your name and include a title to your paper. It should also be written with stylistically correct grammar and punctuation. Submit your final paper as a word documentThis paper will be run through Turnitin before grading.ASSIGNMENT CHECKLIST̈ Paper submitted as a Word documenẗ Paper title included̈ Word count is 1100-1400 words̈ Paper is double-spaced̈ Margins are one-incḧ Font type is standard professional̈ Font size is standard professional̈ Hometown community is described̈ Top 10 pollutants provided in a tablë Table is NOT a screen shoẗ Likely sources of emission for compound of interest are listed̈ RfD/RfC for compound of interest listed along with associated uncertainties̈ Routes of exposure described̈ Exposure route is linked with exposure typefor your hometown̈ Known/suspected health effects forcompound of interest described̈ Both toxicology and epidemiology sourcesincluded when discussing health effects ̈ Sources are cited in-text using name-yearCSE stylë Reference page included, in CSE stylë Paper saved as Word document with propertitle formaẗ Turnitin report consulted for plagiarism,paper revised if necessary
