WRITING ASSIGNMENT/ TERM PAPER TOPIC #1
2 **
Enviromental Health/ Risk Communication is an important process used by an environmental
manager to explain environmental hazards/risks to interested groups(stakeholders).
Select any environmental hazard of particular interest to you and prepare a brief written review of
the topic aimed at the audiences of both peer environmental professionals and the general public.
Try to be as specific as possible in your choice of topics(e.g. lead vs. heavy metals in water, radon vs.
indoor air pollution, tuberculosis vs. infectious diseases). I recommend that you research your topic
using three-to-five different literature sources, using at least one of the following three(3) types of
sources: 1. Technical reference/ textbook 2. Scientific professional journal 3. Popular
periodical(magazine) or newspaper. Your term paper should be both comprehensive in scope, but
also written concisely( Four-to-five typewritten pages would be an appropriate length).
You should cover the following points regarding the environmental hazard topic in your
presentation:
1. source and geographic location of hazard
2. inherent characteristics of the hazard
3. extent of the adverse effects of the environmental hazard(ecological and/or human health)
4. governmental regulatory agency concerns
5. risk remediation/ management measures
Please provide complete citations of all literature/ references used in your paper

What Is This Project? sec Pro Labrida reference benx on wem’s
This is a project sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and carried out
with assistance from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
Funding comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other sources. The project will
compare New Jersey’s environmental problems to one another in order to guide strategic planning by state
government and to foster public discussion on environmental issues.

Find answers to these questions: (1) How do different environmental issues compare to each other in
their impacts on human health, ecological quality, and socio-economic conditions in New Jersey ? (2)
What is an effective way to systematically compare how well various strategies deal with an
environmental issue? (3) What are the gaps in existing knowledge that need to be filled to fully answer
the first two questions?
Use the best available scientific information and diverse perspectives on environmental issues to
inform answers to the three questions above
Ensure that those answers will be taken into account in revising the next stages of two major New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) initiatives: its Strategic Plan and its
Performance Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
E Build a state-wide consensus about which environmental issues have the worst undesirable impacts
that (1) need remedying, and (2) have not yet been addressed by current public or private sector
solutions
How This Project is Organized
Thermal Light Noise
Thermal
Light
Noise
A Steering Committee composed of diverse representatives of environmentalist, business, academit,
civic, and other perspectives, has produced a list of key environmental issues, specifief how to assess
these issues’ impacts on health, ecological quality, and socio-economic conditions, and how to assess
the effectiveness of environmental strategies, and rank issues according to their unaddressed impacts.
The NJCRP Operating Rules provide procedural standards for the Steering Committee
E Experts from within and outside NJDEP have formed three groups (one each on health, ecological
quality, and socio-economic conditions) to estimate environmental issues’ impacts, and a fourth group
will apply the d:aft strategy assessment criteria to one or more pilot issues; all groups are using the
best available science consistent with a broad, statewide and timely analysis
• Broader public advice on the environmental issue list, impact assessment criteria, issue ranking, and
other matters is being obtained through such means as focus groups, town meetings around New
Jersey, and public opinion surveys, short briefings on issue impacts are periodically prepared for the
general public and the press.
A project team (comprising NIDEP staff from the Division of Science and Rescarch, and staff from
Rutgers University) oversees the project and provides support (e.g., meeting facilitation, report
drafting; fund-raising).

The Steering Committee began the project in Fall 1998, and it has set a target completion date of Spring
2001 for completion of the issue impact assessment and issue ranking.
