Assignment 2: DiscussionSpecies Interactions and You
Humans interact with various species every day without actually realizing it. In the field of ecology these interactions can either be interspecific (between species) or intraspecific (within species). Interactions between humans are known as intraspecific (within species) interactions. For example interactions between a human and a pet would be interspecific whereas interactions between a human and another human would be intraspecific.
Research interspecific and intraspecific interactions using the module readings the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet.

In the following assignment you will be given two different questions concerning the material covered in this unit. Each question should be answered using a minimum of 250 words each. Any resources including your textbook that are utilized to answer the questions should be cited and referenced using APA formatting. Please enter your response to each question in the spaces given below (spaces will expand as you type if more room is needed). All references will be entered at the end of the assignment.

1. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) currently has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for noise of 90 dBA as an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure with an action level of 50% of that exposure. OSHA uses a 5 dB exchange rate (doubling rate); this means that if the exposure increases from 90 dBA to 95 dBA the allowed exposure time decreases to one-halffrom 8 hours to 4 hours.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommend using an exposure limit of 85 dBA instead of 90 dBA and also recommend using a 3 dB exchange rate. These levels are much more protective than the levels currently used by OSHA.
Discuss the merits of each of the two methods. Provide your opinion as to which of the approaches you believe should be used. Support your answer with at least one professional/scholarly reference.

Assignment 3: Environmental Issues and the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution which began in the eighteenth century has had an ongoing influence on society as well as the relationship between humans and their environment. With the onset of industrialization came the drastic increase in urbanization setting up of factories in places which were once biomes and the rapid development of land. All this occurred without assessing the long-term impact to the environment. Recognizing the importance of the Industrial Revolution era and the ongoing impact it has had on the environment is essential to learning how to help the environment and correct the damage of that era.
Using the readings for this module the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet complete the following:
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references. Be sure to include an additional page for references.
