Use the internet and source at least 10 applicable and informative references most of which have been published within the last 5 years (DO NOT use Wikipedia). 5 of these must be from peer Environmental Science Article reviewed journals. – try Web of Science as a start – and don’t just rely on Google Scholar. You can also source relevant case studies. Write a no more than 1500 word (not including reference list) article on your topic using your references for information. The article must summarise and describe your topic for a general audience (e.g. like an article in New Scientist) and use of case examples will lift this. Make sure you think about the structure and flow (I will mark this as well as scientific content) – the article will need: an engaging title, a good introduction with a succinct description of the background to the topic (e.g. pollutants, hazards, problems etc), informative body of text to discuss the issue with good illustration using relevant case studies, and a where to from here conclusion.
