You have completed seven parts on your recommendations for the scenario-based case study and are now completing the final assignment for your project, which is your final submission. Be sure to apply any of the professor’s recommended corrections to the previous sections before submitting the final report in this unit.  Section I (Executive Summary) In this section, you will prepare a well-organized and thoughtful summary of your recommendations for the fire protection system for the scenario-based case study course project on the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse fire. This summary should expound on what you have learned during the different parts covered in each unit, so you can understand issues that exist within the fire protection technology field. Place the summary after the title page, and follow it with each unit’s recommendations. The purpose of the executive summary is to provide a narrative about the project with sufficient detail to allow readers to be able to accurately describe your recommendations to resolve potential fires in the future. Explain how your recommendations for the scenario-based case study relate to the methodology you chose and to the project outcome and conclusions. In other words, your summary must be clear, logical, and demonstrate alignment among the goals, methods, and outcomes. The executive summary should be at least one page in length. Section II As you make suggestions to improve the fire protection system, identify the components and accessories common to smoke management and smoke control systems needed for the rebuild of the warehouse. Refer back to the background information, if needed, to provide you with the necessary material to identify the basic components common to fire protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. In addition, review the Points to Ponder Scenario in the Unit VIII Lesson for additional information.  As with the other assignments, this assignment is not looking for compliance with building codes nor expecting you to be a fire protection system designer. However, the purpose of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned in this unit as you finish writing your final project covering protection systems that will detect, contain, control, and extinguish a fire. In addition, this assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response.  For this section, prepare a well-organized narrative addressing smoke management and smoke control systems with your recommendations after reviewing the background information and the Points to Ponder Scenario. Your discussion will consist of your evaluation of information about smoke management and smoke control systems from the textbook as well as from additional research.  Section II should be at least one page in length. Remember, you may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following proper APA style.  Final Assignment—Bringing It All Together. Compile the entire scenario-based case study recommendation into one cohesive report, and write the conclusion. Each unit assignment that was previously submitted should be edited or corrected based on your professor’s feedback. 

This job is mainly for making a new framework for life cycle assessment for Single Stream Recycling (SSR). There are academic papers that discussed this problem but they limited their study on a single material. The concept of SSR is to mix all accepted recyclables in one single container. Therefore, making an LCA framework for SSR is essential. What I want to see is a full document addressing all previous studies that did a life cycle assessment of material recovery in all recycling strategies. The recycling strategy includes single-stream recycling, dual-stream recycling, mixed waste recycling, and pre-sorted recycling. Then we propose the new framework for SSR. We can divide this task into 5 major milestones. Milestone #1: Introduction Milestone #2: Background Milestone #3: Methodology Milestone #4: Proposed LCA Theses two studies are very important 1- A generalized multistage optimization modeling framework for life cycle assessment-based integrated solid waste management 2-Analysis of material recovery facilities for use in life-cycle assessment 3- Life cycle assessment of municipal solid waste management methods: Ankara case study

Refer to the unit study guide for the needed information about water systems before attempting to complete this assignment. For this assignment, you will submit Part 4 of the scenario-based case study course project, which is due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations as needed during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during the progression of this course. Please continue to draw upon your imagination to think creatively on potential concerns with fire and explosive hazards, fire controls, and fire and emergency management. Look at fire protection technology in a holistic way that is significantly different from what was previously designed by thinking in isolation. You will evaluate and develop recommendations to resolve potential fires in the future. Section I As you make suggestions to improve life, safety, and fire protection, refer back to the background information, if needed, to provide you with the necessary material to identify the basic components common to fire protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. As we have been building on each phase of the scenario for fire protection design, evaluate the appropriate quality, quantity, and pressure of the water protection system in the scenario. This assignment is not looking for compliance with building codes nor expecting you to be a fire protection system designer. However, the purpose of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you have learned in this unit as you begin writing your final project covering protection systems that will detect, contain, control, and extinguish a fire. In addition, this assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response. Prepare a well-organized narrative addressing the existing water distribution system supplying the fire protection system for the warehouse described in the unit study guide. Your discussion will consist of your evaluation of the water system and the effect of water pressure on the fire as it relates to the movement of water, the components of a water supply and distribution network, and if the warehouse should be on the public water system or private water system. Section II In the unit lesson, fire brigades were described. Explain the views to a reader unfamiliar with fire brigades, including references to specific statements. What are the characteristics of fire brigades in the industrial or commercial setting? Should fire brigades be a part of today’s fire protection? Why, or why not? For this assignment, you will write a two-page narrative (one page per section) supporting your position. Use APA level one headings for each section. The heading should be indicative of the major section to follow. You must have a title page and references page. You may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following proper APA style.

There are many threats to our environment created by businesses. Discuss one current environmental threat caused by an organization. Describe what the threat is and how it is affecting our environment. What steps, if any, are being taken to reduce these threats? Do you think more should be done? Do environmental rules/regulations affect the GDP in a positive or negative way? Explain your response. What if no rules/regulations are put into effect for a serious environmental problem, can the US GDP be affected by the lack of protection? Explain. Should businesses abide by environmental rules in the US when working in developing nations that do not have the same rules? Why/why not? What happens when other countries do not follow the same restrictions as countries that are working hard to protect the environment, does it create a competitive advantage for foreign businesses? Explain your answer. A website with examples of Environmental Threats: https://www.worldwildlife.org/threats

(Memphis Tn, quest Diagnostics Laboratory.. promotion in EHS) Part II: Discuss the ways environmental laws have impacted your life. Have you been exposed to toxic substances? Please explain. Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.” ALSO PLEASE REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW. Michelle: My name is Michelle Brenner, I Live in Tampa, Florida, and I am an instructor /Proctor for food safety and a guest teacher for Pasco High School.  I am reaching my goals of continuing my education in Occupational Health and Safety, and then moving up to what I can achieve, Ph.D. is what lays ahead for me. Living in South Florida, it is perhaps that we live near coastlines that the effect of Environmental laws have impacted how I treat my surroundings, I grew up in Fort Lauderdale for 40 years, and now I am in Tampa.  But the precious commodity is our Everglades and our waterways.  Realizing the impact that man has on these resources have brought attention to the laws and regulations.  It has been generalized, due to I have never worked in areas of concern. Still, when you live and play in Florida, you tend to notice impacts on the natural resources, and when there has been damaged, and the conservation efforts.  I have not been exposed to any toxic substances, like those caused by refineries, but our rainwater runoff tends to pick up all those pesticides and fertilizers that are used here.  The one thing that is dangerous in Florida is the mosquitos, which carry many diseases, Malaria, dengue, West Nile, and Ziko.  That is why Florida is one of the states that continues spraying of the pesticide of Naled.  However, EPA suggests that exposure is not enough to cause a human health concern.  As a rule, though, my family tends to appreciate the Everglades and the waterways of South Florida, and abide by rules and regulations as not to harm the areas we live and play.
