By Day 3, respond to the following prompts (300 words):
From the table on page 23 (Table 1.4) select three specific environmental health professions and then discuss how they may have been involved in creating policies surrounding the “Love Canal Disaster” of 1978.
How does the EPA regulate each of the professions? (i.e., Are there certifications or licenses required, if so, what are they?)
What would have been their roles during this historic event?
How are the health outcomes of the opposed community the responsibility of the professions you selected?
Also consider public health and the core functions. Why is the role of the environmental health professional so important now and from a historical perspective?
