1) Pell, J. (2000). Polution is Personal. Innovation: The Health Letter Of FAIM, 12.

This article is about a guy who had gotten sick from different issues that just built up to him almost dying in a hospital. He first gets sick from murcury in the water, and in some fish that he had caught and ate out of a local lake. He talks about how everyone knows that pollution clogs the air, dirties the water, and causes cancer but than goes into a much deeper talk about what pollution can actually do to your health.

I could use this article for the much more broad topic of global warming and pollution. This doesnt directly relate to my more narrow topic of Polar Bear Extinction, but makes alot of good points. Its also bias against pollution, and certain things that cause it.

2) Spivey, A. (2001). Polution 101. Environmental Health Perspectives, 109(12), A578.

This article is about how some colleges are having to pay fines for there recycling and waste management and things. It gives good information about the current regulations and laws about waste management in schools. However it doesnt talk much about global warming or pollution. It would help most on the broad topic about global warming and polution.

I will definately use this to cover the area about covering rules and reglulations. This doesnt talk about the polarbear population at all but it does cover a lot of the rules and regulations about my topics.

This article is about teaching children in there schools about global warming and the cost benefit analysis of doing so. They say in this article that teaching children about it will better prepare them for the future world. If they recycle and take care of the earth now this will better there future of the world. Preventing global warming at such an early stage of life benefits everything. This article concentrates more on education and cost more than anything though.

I will use this article in talking about schooling. This will be a good article to use, however it seems to be more bias about teaching global warming in schools to prevent it in the future. If i had to take a guess these people would be against sand mining considering the way the talk about it.

4) Kump, L. R. (2011). THE Last Great Global Warming. Scientific American, 305(1), 56

This whole article is about global warming and how it is affecting the polar bear population. It talks about different scenarios and whats actually happening to them. It opens by talking about how a lot of people come to zoo's to see the polar bears and other exotic creatures and how they werent so exotic and rare at one time. This article is bias against polution for supporting the bears.

I will use this article for my narrow topic which is polar bear population. I was very happy to find such a good article about my topic. I will also use it to describe the different types of polution and how it can effect us all.

This article directly relates to my topic! This was by far the best article I found. It talks about global warming, polution and how it directly correlates with the polar bear population. It talks about there habitat, the ozone layer, their cubs, how they are having to adjust and swim more often. It gives the history and background of the creatures and other creatures being affected by global warming as well.

I will use this article mainly for my narrow topic! Its kinda bias but not really, it just states the facts and gives there sources. This will be my main article I will use for the project.
