AP Environmental Science: Legislation, Math, & Experimental Design
AP Environmental Science: Legislation, Math, & Experimental Design
Laws and Legislation
- Endangered Species Act - identifies threatened and endangered species in the US, and puts their protection ahead of economic considerations
- Clean Water Act - set maximum permissible amounts of water pollutants that can be discharged into waterways
- Safe Drinking Water Act - set maximum contaminant levels for pollutants in drinking water that may have adverse effects on human health
- Clean Air Act- regulates the emission of air pollutants that affect human health. Set emission standards for cars
- Delaney Clause of Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act - requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban food additives which are found to cause or induce cancer
- Montreal Protocol - controlling global warming by setting greenhouse gas emissions targets for developed countries
- Kyoto Protocol - controlling global warming by setting greenhouse gas emissions targets for developed countries
- RCRA - controls hazardous waste with a ‘cradle-to-grave’ system
- CERCLA - gave the EPA the power to investigate and clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances
- CiTES - lists species that cannot be commercially traded as live specimens or wildlife products
Math in APES & Formulas
- population growth - (CBR-CDR)/10
- doubling time - 70/growth rate
- dimensional analysis
- percent change - ((new-old/old) x 100
Experimental Design
- independent variable - "manipulated" variable, "I change it"
- dependent variable - "responding" variable depends on independent variable
- control - level of "independent variable" used to compare, "normal conditions"
