"Malignant mesothelioma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the thin layer of
tissue that covers the lung, chest wall, or abdomen. . . .
The major cause of malignant mesothelioma is being exposed to asbestos over a period of time.
This includes people who were exposed to asbestos in the workplace and their family members.
After a person is exposed to asbestos, it usually takes at least 20 years for malignant
mesothelioma to form."

In 1970, a series of public policies were created to help reduce the effects of air and water
pollution on the environment. One policy was the Clean Water Act.
"The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of
pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface
waters. . .
Under the CWA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented pollution control
programs such as setting wastewater standards for industry. We have also set water quality
standards for all contaminants in surface waters.
The CWA made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters,
unless a permit was obtained. . . . Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or
man-made ditches."
- "Summary of the Clean Water Act," US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
According to this passage, which scenario would be in violation of the CWA?
·An oil refinery directly channels chemical wastewater into surrounding man-made ditches.
·Builders construct a landfill that uses liners to reduce wastewater from seeping into the ground.
·A water quality expert at a lake records the level of a toxic chemical below current standards.
·A paper mill factory gets permission to release an approved amount of discharge into a stream.
·An oil refinery directly channels chemical wastewater into surrounding man-made ditches.

"Although contracting melanoma as a child or teenager is extremely unlikely, skin cancer
experts estimate that about two-thirds of a person's risk of melanoma is acquired in the first 15
years of life. This is because young people typically have much higher rates of sun exposure
through their activities (swimming, playing sports, etc.) than adults. Reducing sun exposure
during childhood and adolescence, even just by using sunscreen, could decrease an individual's
lifetime risk of developing skin cancer by up to 78 percent.
In a recent study, researchers found that teens had a good understanding about the connection
between sun exposure and cancer. Despite this knowledge, just 25 percent of 14-year-olds
reported using sunscreen "always" or "almost always." Older teens were even less likely to use
sunscreen, and spent more time on average in the sun."
What information about sun exposure and cancer risk can Sarah use in her editorial? Check all
that apply.
·Teens seem to understand that the sun can cause cancer, but they often fail to protect
themselves.
·Teens do not need to use sunscreen as often as adults, because they have little cancer risk at
their age.
·Sunscreen is more important for adults than for teens and younger children.
·Most teenagers do not realize that sun exposure can lead to cancer.
·Most lifetime melanoma risk comes from sun exposure when people are young, but teens are
less likely to use sunscreen during this time.

Next, Sarah goes onto a skin cancer website and reads this testimony from a young woman
named Mia.
"I had always loved the sun and the feeling of being tan. I spent most of my teenage years
outdoors: playing sports, on the beach, or in a pool. When I was a junior in high school, I bought
a beautiful white prom dress. I thought that I would look better in it with tanned skin, so I went to
a tanning salon for the first time. It was the first time of many. Throughout high school, I
continued to lie out in the sun without any protection, and continued to go to a tanning salon. All
of my friends were doing the same thing, and every celebrity and pop star I loved looked thin,
beautiful, and tan.
When I was 19, I was diagnosed with melanoma. I had to have surgery, and a chunk the size of
an egg was removed from my thigh. The doctors also took out nearby lymph nodes to make
sure the cancer had not spread. Luckily, my tests came back clear.
I thought it was a complete fluke that I had gotten melanoma—who gets cancer at age 19? I
was young and stupid, and I thought I was invincible. It would never come back, right? So I
didn't change my habits—I still liked having a tan and continued to lie out in the sun without
wearing sunscreen. Less than two years later, the cancer came back. The surgeons cut out
even more skin, this time almost on my back. Now I had yet another disfiguring scar on my
body, all because of my desire to have a tan. A year after that, I had to have more skin cancer
removed, this time from my face. Now I have three bad scars, one of which is on my forehead.
Not a single one of those scars was worth my desire to do what everyone else was doing and
have a tan."
-Mia, age 24
