Exposure map submit
Mon, Apr 12, 2027 · Week 13 · Biotechnology for Health (Biomedical Innovations)
Today's goal: Assemble and submit a completed environmental exposure map for Problem 4.
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Title: Lead Exposure Map, Older-Housing Neighborhood.
1. Pathway: lead pipes (source) to drinking water (medium) to ingestion (route) to nervous system (target). Most at-risk population: young children.
2. Data: average tap lead 13.2 ppb; highest home 22 ppb; EPA action level 15 ppb (cited: EPA Lead and Copper Rule). Two of five homes met or exceeded the action level.
3. Mitigation: filters now (fast, low cost) plus pipe replacement (permanent). Recommended both, filters first.
4. Plain-language risk statement for non-experts: 'Some homes here have more lead in their tap water than the safety limit allows. Lead is most harmful to young children. Using a certified filter and replacing old pipes lowers the risk.'
Citations: EPA Lead and Copper Rule action level (epa.gov); city water-quality report.
Tracker: marked Problem 4 exposure map as submitted.
| Map element | Content |
|---|---|
| Source | Lead service pipes |
| Medium / route | Water / ingestion |
| Target | Nervous system (children) |
| Data vs threshold | 22 ppb vs 15 ppb limit |
| Mitigation | Filters now + pipe replacement |
This model shows the level of evidence and organization needed to complete: Completes the Problem 4 deliverable: an integrated exposure map combining pathway, dose data with threshold comparison, mitigation, citations, and an at-risk population label.
- State the question and method.
- Present the observations and data with units.
- Explain the result, limitations, and next investigation.
Keep the structure. Replace the question, facts, measurements, and evidence. Then recheck units, vocabulary, and whether the conclusion goes beyond the evidence.
Also due today: Submit the finalized exposure map on Schoology and confirm in your tracker.

Claim ceiling: Today's evidence supports a classroom claim about exposure map submit. It cannot prove causation, diagnose a real patient, or justify action outside this room.
One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.
Tap an answer to see the full explanation. Nothing is recorded or graded.
It builds this reusable test skill: Citing data sources in a public-facing science product.
- Name the concept or data pattern being tested.
- Cross out choices that violate that rule or the evidence.
- Justify the best remaining choice before checking the answer.
