2. Manufacturing And Environmental Issues

3. Environmental Threats from Industries

4. Industries have waste which is also an output. Three of the many types of waste are: 1. Greenhouse gasses - Carbon dioxide or methane, which causes global warming & associated problems. Pg. 238-239

5. 2. Acid Rain - Sulphur & nitrogen, which decreases soil fertility, kills fish, or corrodes buildings.

6. Canadian scientists dosed a lake for eight years with sulphuric acid to simulate acid rain. Top, a healthy trout in 1979, before the lake had been completely acidified. Middle, an emaciated trout in 1983, showing clear signs of damage. Bottom, a year later, after dosing had stopped, the effects of acidification were being reversed and the trout population was coming back.

7. 3. CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons) - Refrigerants & sprays, which break down the ozone layer that filters harmful UV rays, causing cancer.

9. The Role of Government & Interest Groups Interest groups The extremist. They raise valid points of concern and argue them with force and conviction. Ie. Greenpeace!! Government Balancing environmental concerns VS. encouraging economic development.

10. Averting an environmental threat posed by an industry. A threat can be caused by prevailing winds. The winds transport acid rain from industrialized areas and deposit it in locations down wind. (See Fig. 13.6 and Fig. 13.17). Any solution needs cooperation and consultation between different nations, interest groups, business and governments. EX: The recent Kyoto summit and the summit held in Rio de Janeiro several years ago attempted to get countries to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.

11. government regulation to reduce sulphur & nitrogen emission & clean up damaged environment. development of sulphur filtering equipment. (Smoke stacks) tax breaks for companies if they reduce pollution or use ALTERNATIVE energy sources consultation between business, environmentalists and government to decide on a plan of action. Solutions to solving the acid rain problem

13. Moral Issues and Industry Pg. 233

14. Social/moral issues associated with manufacturing: child labour, safety of workers and a Company’s responsibility to be environmentally friendly. In Canada and most well developed nations there are strict regulations about safety, waste emissions, age of workers, and corporate responsibility. In some developing nations the regulations might not be in place or they may be decreased in hope of stimulating business instead of preventing it.
