Research your chosen occupational risk and analyze the assessments of human exposure to contaminan ts and evaluate how these assessments were conducted. Write a 750- to 1,050-word research paper in which you complete the following:</p><p> Describe how the risks of exposure to a specified concentration of your chosen hazard may be ca lculated differently for public household exposure versus workplace occupational exposure. </p><p> Answer the following in your paper:</p><p> o In general, how does the application of occupational risk assessment differ from ecologic al or human health risks? For example, occupational risks may be based on a 10-hour workday, whereas animals or insects might have different ecological exposure risks and life spans.</p><p> o How might your chosen human health risk hazard differ in terms of risk if it were ecologic al rather than a nonoccupational exposure? </p><p> Identify the acceptable exposure limits for affected populations in occupational and nonoccupatio nal environments. Explain the reasons for the differing risk assessment models and explain the justific ation for the differences.</p><p>Cite at least two references on risk assessment related to your chosen contaminant. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.</p><p>Option 2: Time-of-Day Occupational Risk Paper or Podcast </p><p>Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper or record a 10-minute podcast in which you address the following:</p><p> Analyze the risk relationship between variable and night shift work to occupational accidents.  Choose one of the following examples or obtain approval from your instructor of other examples:</p><p> o Police shift work o Union Carbide and Bhopal, India accident o Shift worker and Chernobyl, Russia accident o Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania accident</p><p> Address the following in your analysis:</p><p> o Industry risk o Time of shift</p><p>Copyright © 2012, 2010 by University of Phoenix.
