For this Assignment, you will take the perspective of a director of a regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office. The national EPA Office of Environmental Information (OEI) has tasked all regional directors to identify an environmental hazard in your community.

For this contaminant, write a short summary of the hazard (2–3 pages) to submit to EPA OEI. In this report, please discuss the human health effects of exposure, the sources of the hazard into the environment, and the route of human exposure. Specify whether the hazard is chemical, physical, or biological and whether this affects occupational health, the general public, or both. Provide at least one suggestion on how to reduce the environmental hazard in your community.
