develop a White Paper of 2500 to 3500 words taking a position and recommending a policy to address health impacts associated with the exposure to a specific agents located toxic waste site, industrial center, or other proposal associated with a marginalized community. In the White Paper, you will need to address the conflicting concerns regarding health impacts at two points on the biopsychosocial continuum. In most situations there will be both positive and negative impacts. Often socio-economic opportunities and the benefits of overcoming poverty are pitted against the adverse biological health impacts associated with exposure. After you have defined the issues, including the toxicokinetics associated with the exposure, you will want to make a risk assessment of the options. As part of the risk assessment, you will need to review mitigation options at each level of the hierarchy of control. Finally, you will need to take a position on a policy opportunity which addresses the issues you have defined. This policy review should evaluate federal environmental and occupational policies associated with the agents for their impact on public health and health equity.
