0. Unit VI: Case Study

   Animal use in toxicity testing has long been a controversial issue; however, there can be benefits. Read “The Use of Animals in Research,” which is an article that can be retrieved from http://www.toxicology.org/pubs/docs/air/AIR_Final.pdf.

   Evaluate the current policies outlined in the Position Statement on page 5 of the article. Use the SOT Guiding Principles in the Use of Animals in Toxicology to guide you in your analysis. Feel free to use additional information and avenues of information, including the textbook, to critically analyze this policy.

   In addition, answer the following questions:

•   How do toxicologists determine which exposures may cause adverse health effects?
•   How does the information apply to what you are learning in the course?
•   What were the objectives of this toxicity testing?
•   What were the endpoints of this toxicity testing?

  Finally, include whether or not you agree with the Society of Toxicology’s position on animal testing.

  Your Case Study assignment should be three to four pages in length. Use APA style guidelines in writing this assignment, following APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and referencing.

  Unit VII: PowerPoint Presentation

  Create an eight- to ten-slide presentation about the uses and limitations of product labeling for public safety. You can use the information from your textbook, as well as information from other reliable sources (Note that unmonitored websites, such as Wikipedia, are not acceptable.). Access the CSU Online Library for the additional resources. Be creative and add photos, images or other supplemental graphics to support your presentation. Ensure you that you use images from the public domain or creative commons.

  Be sure to cite any sources used in a reference slide, using proper APA formatting. You may also use the slide notes function to explain slide contents as necessary.
