Imagine the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that will ban MTBE, a substance added to gasoline to reduce emissions. This

legislation was proposed due to complaints from citizens and interest groups who believe MTBE is a health threat. In a well-written paragraph, analyze whether the benefits of creating this ban are worth the costs.

The benefit are the reduction in partially-burned hydrocarbon emissions in gasoline engines. These particular hydrocarbons tend, when breathed in, to impair lung function over time, and many of them are potent carcinogens, which is why lung cancer rates in urban areas with plenty of tailpipe emissions are higher. The cost is that...well, MTBE tastes vile, can be detected by the human tongue in very small concentrations, and degrades only slowly in the natural environment. Hence if it leaks into groundwater (e.g. from gasoline storage tanks) it can make the water taste icky. It has no other known side-effects. So there you have it: reduction in lung cancer and COPD deaths versus your groundwater maybe tasting icky if your local gasoline station isn't keeping their tanks up to code.

Why did the u.s. department of labor encourage the employment of women in the 1950s?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<span>The U.S. had many women employed at the end of the 1940's due to World War II and as the troops returned from overseas, not all were able to return to the workforce which encouraged women to continue in the labor market at that time. This trend was encouraged through the 1950's to ensure a robust workforce at home as many men were either fighting in the Korean war or unable to return to the workforce still after World War II.</span>
