...Outlining Your Research Paper An outline helps you to organize your thoughts, decide on the structure of your paper, and figure out which personal experience, observations, and/or examples you want to include, as well as think about which sources (quotes) you will use as support. REMEMBER: This is YOUR PAPER. Make sure that you come up with the thesis, organize the arguments, and use sources as support for your ideas only. A formal outline follows a basic format, which each step becoming more and more specific, from the broad sections of your paper to the specific evidence you will use within paragraphs to support your ideas. Although you do not have to fill in all of the support from your sources—YET—I do want to see a substantial amount of detail in your outline. Include sources (with specific authors and page numbers) wherever you already know a quote or paraphrase might fit. The point is that you don’t have to do all of it now: get your ideas down and you can expand your outline later on as you write. THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE TYPED, SINGLE-SPACED. DUE ON TUESDAY 8/3.

...Georgia is the amount of pollution in our waters. The ocean waters we swim in have toxins dumped into it daily, increasing bacteria levels, making the waters unfit to swim in or eat fish from. There are several factors that affect our waters, such as the pulp paper mill industry. Paper mill companies are partially to blame for the pollution in our oceans, streams, rivers, and lakes. Fifty-three percent of the rivers and streams in the U.S assessed by the EPA remain too polluted for swimming, fishing and drinking. The government has established some Acts to help clean up the waters, but we need to also do our part to help the situation. With twelve pulp mills, eight panel and engineered-wood product mills, 97 saw mills and 73 other types mills currently operating statewide, the paper production industry generates roughly $20 billion in annual revenue for Georgia and create thousands of jobs for Georgians. Industrial companies, such as pulp paper companies, dump millions of pounds of toxic chemicals into America’s lakes, oceans, rivers and streams each year threatening our health. The discharge of toxic chemicals into our waterways poses a threat to the environment and human health. Toxic chemicals can accumulate in fish, riverbeds and the water column...

...recent years the problem of pollution has become very acute. It is the industrialized west which takes it seriously, because it is suffering from its injurious effects. In India, sufficient attention has not been paid to it so far. If we do not tackle this problem now, future generations will suffer from the harmful effects of pollution. This problem assumes different forms such as Air pollution, Water pollution, Soil pollution, Noise pollution and Paper pollution. All this pollution results from the greed of man for getting more and more money. Trees have been cut down, on an unprecedented scale and large production by industrialization has assumed gigantic proportions. So the main cause of air and water pollution is unbalanced industrial growth and urbanization and deforestation. The owners of industries dump waste material on the surface of the earth or in rivers. So, water is polluted and the waste on the earth produces different poisonous gases which pollute the air. On the other hand, forests where purity air have been cut down and new cities and industries have been established in their place. The cutting of the forests causes what is called "The Green House Effects". It results in the heating of the earth's surface which has serious consequences for life on this planet. As a result, generations to come are likely to suffer from a number of incurable diseases. Timely measures must be taken to prevent the 'Green House Effect'. Paper pollution of public life and morality...

...Does Polluted Water Hurts the Environment? Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract Water pollution is the worst problem that the United States and other nations are facing today. Although, many people have known this issue, they are still contributing to it. People need to become more responsive on this issue by complying on several ways to prevent water pollution. The chemical industry and factory farms need to follow the guidelines of operating their business, by using proper disposal methods for hazardous materials and waste materials. Chemical industry and factory farms need to follow the guidelines behind water pollution. To begin with, factory farms should be regulated accordingly. They must obtain permits, monitor water quality and pay for cleaning up and disposing of their waste. Also, factory farms must strengthen their new technology standards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must consider recent technological advances that significantly reduce pathogens. In addition, residents and local government should get involved and must have a say in whether to allow factory farms in their communities. The public also has the right to review and comment on the contents of pollution reduction plans and to enforce the terms, when a factory farm is in violation. The politically powerful chemically industry should enforce federal laws that permits underground waste disposal. A better and potentially...

...For our environmental ethics paper, we decided on the Clean Water Act (CWA). The history behind the CWA goes back longer than one might imagine. Most people think the CWA was originally started in 1972 when Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Contract Act Amendments, which would commonly be referred to as the Clean Water Act. The CWA was originally passed under President Harry S. Truman in 1948 as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act designed to control water pollution. The original 1948 Federal Water Pollution Control Act “authorized the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, in cooperation with other Federal, state and local entities, to prepare comprehensive programs for eliminating or reducing the pollution of interstate...

...Simulation Paper Sean Adams Submitted to Heidi Hales For SCI/362 January 4, 2013 Case-In point: Lake Washington Environmental pollution is an issue that knows no borders. Some countries are more successful than others in addressing these issues for both short and long-term results. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the environmental problems in Central and Eastern Europe caused by decades of pollution. In this paper, I will identify unintended consequences of humankind’s activities that has led to environmental problems, describe the effect of current scientific or technological activities, discuss how the scientific method approach could have helped the current issues, and address any alternative solutions beyond the scientific method. The environmental pollution problems of Central and Eastern Europe come largely from the neglect of environmentally safe work and behavior practices of the previously communist-run countries. During the communist era, there was little to no incentive for an industrial company to consider the company’s affect on the environment. Production quotas took precedence over environmental awareness or public health concerns. Polluting the clean air, water, and soil was acceptable as these commodities were given no economic value (University of Phoenix, 2010). In Russia, the consequences have been severe, affecting human health along with the destruction of Russia’s ecosystems. By the 1990s...

...people go on with their daily lives as if life was just in its normal state. However, upon scrutiny, these villages have striking characteristics that lead towards the indication that life in these areas may not be normal. In some of these villages, the water from rivers and wells is polluted to the extent that people have to rely on bottled drinking water. In others, some sections that are close to major sources of pollution have been vacated, while other areas are no longer agriculturally productive. In some of these villages, the villagers have turned to dumping garbage into ponds or rivers that are considered ruined by pollution. The level of pollution around the cancer villages has been so rampant that crops die off, fish, shrimp and other water creatures vanish from the rivers, animals become infertile or deformed and children suffer extensively from respiratory diseases. Most of China’s cancer villages have been turned into death pots by the effects of industrial pollution that have increased since 1990s. Therefore, the emergence of China’s cancer villages can be attributed to the rampant industrialization that has been taking place in this nation, failure of government to secure appropriate measures of controlling this pollution, as well as lack of proper systems to offer the necessary protection to rural people. Although China’s pursuit for economic growth has contributed to a relatively high GDP, this growth has also negatively affected society in terms of rampant environmental...

...air, land and water quality of the surrounding areas of the mines and continues to affect global environment as a whole. The damaging effects coal burning on the environment causes many premature deaths worldwide. In 1999 World Health Organization reported that deaths caused by fossil fuels emissions caused 3 million premature deaths, about 8000 per day. With modern industrialization the demand for energy is rapidly increasing, and coal being a cheap method continues to be the leading electricity-generating source having a share of 40.6% according to International Energy Agency report released in 2012. China is the main producer of coal having 45.9% of the total coal production share in the world (International Energy Agency, 2012 report, pp 14). Thus it is clear that China would have the biggest impact on the environment due to its large scale coal production. Bian et al in their paper say that the wastes of coal production are dumped in a cone shaped heap and has severe environmental consequences through dust generation, leachate production, self ignition and because of having no vegetation cover (Bian et al, 2008, pp 625). In the past, attention was paid to air pollution caused by emissions in the coal burning process however now more research is done to environmental degradation in terms of land pollution due to improper waste management. When there is no proper disposal of soal mining wastes, they diffuse into the soil and nearby rivers, disrupting the water and land quality...

...Environmental Pollution is an international journal that seeks to publish papers that report results from original, novel research that addresses significant environmental pollution issues and problems and contribute new knowledge to science. The editors welcome high quality papers where the pollutants are clearly defined and measured and can be directly related to biological, ecological, and human health effects. This includes air, water, and soil pollution and climate change. New techniques for the study and measurement of pollutants and their effects are also encouraged as well as papers on new types of environmental challenges such as pollution/antibiotic resistances of organisms. Emerging pollutions are of eminent interest, such as microplastics, electronic wastes, light or noise pollution as long as they can clearly be related to the biological effects mentioned above. Papers must be process-orientated and/or hypotheses-based to be considered for population. Papers based on field studies are given priority for publication over micro/meso cosmos studies. Papers, such as meta analyses, that report findings from re-examination and interpretation of existing data are welcome. Modeling papers are welcome only to a certain extent, i.e., they must be related to a specific pollution issue or process that is potentially of ecological and/or human health implications. Critical review papers and commentaries are also of high interest as are letters to the editor. The editors...
