Present an analysis of health impacts from living in an ecosystem
When analyzing effects of human activity on ecosystems, the effects on the people's health must be examined. For example, the effects of lead additives in paint and gasoline on the nervous systems of human infants and children are well known. Impacts to human health are of particular concern in the case of surface coal mining []

Experiments have started to collect CO 2 from stack gases to store it in porous bedrocks under the sea. However, the technology is expensive and un-proven.
