(do not italicize)
ABSTRACT (in 200-300 words that summarize your work)
do not italicize
An example . . . This paper is about the effects of pesticides on
the groundwater and water in the economy. Pesticides are used
for many different things and by just about everyone. I never
really gave it much thought until being in this class as to what
happens to, where does, or how the chemicals in the pesticides
affect the area it is sprayed in or on. People always concern
themselves with pollution in the air or the litter around the
streets but not about how deep pesticides will it seep into the
ground and what problems will occur.
INTRODUCTION
do not italicize
An example . . . Pesticides are used to rid of and control weeds,
insects, and other pest, increase food production and reduction
of insect-borne diseases. These different pesticides can
contaminate groundwater and more awareness is important
because 50 percent of the economies drinking water comes from
our earth’s groundwater. Streams were most vulnerable to
contamination followed by agricultural and urban areas. People
who live in agricultural areas have the most use of pesticides on
their crops and approximately 95 percent of their drinking water
comes from the groundwater in that area. Pesticides reach the
water bearing aquifers below ground from pesticides being

applied onto crop fields, seepage of contaminated surface water,
accidental spills and leaks, improper disposals, and through the
injection waste material into wells. Some pesticides have had a
designated Maximum Contaminant Limit (MCL) in drinking
water set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
but there are a lot that have not. Private water suppliers are not
monitored or regulated by the act.
ISSUES
[SIGNIFICANCE/CONCERNS/IMPACTS/CHALLENGES]
do not italicize
An example . . . Pesticides are mostly made of modern
chemicals and they can pose a potential danger if they are
consumed in large quantities. All of the pesticides are toxic but
each one of them varies in its toxicity to humans and animals.
Some attach to soil particles and are washed into waterways on
sediment. Pesticides that are highly soluble in water can
dissolve easier and these pesticides are most likely to move
with water in surface runoff or to move through the soil in
water than those pesticides that are less-soluble. Oil-soluble
pesticides are attracted to clay particles and organic matter in
the soil. The formulations of pesticides contain both “active”
and “inert” ingredients. The active ingredients actually kill the
pest and the inert ingredients aides the active ingredient to work
more effectively. The solvents which are inert ingredients in
most pesticides’ formulas may be toxic if inhaled or absor bed
through the skin.
DATA
do not italicize
Your collection of data (including the tables, graphs, etc.) on
the assigned topic, goes in here . . .
An example . . . The first tsunami ever recorded took place off
the coast of Syria, approximately over four thousand years ago

when the island volcano of Krakatau, Indonesia, erupted in
1883, causing a tsunami that wiped away the English Channel
such as England, France, and Germany.
There were several tsunamis that were very destructive in
multiple ways in history, such
as changes in the ecosystem, economic issues, and pollution of
the water and damages to homes and people. The top ten biggest
tsunamis in history consist of,
1. Sumatra, Indonesia, December 26,2004.
2. North Pacific Coast, Japan, March 11, 2011.
3. Lisbon, Portugal, November 1, 1755.
4. Krakatau, Indonesia, August 27, 1883.
5. Enshunada Sea, Japan, September 20, 1498.
6. Nankaido, Japan, October 28, 1707.
7. Sanriku, Japan, June 15, 1896.
8. Northern Chile, August 13, 1868.
9. Ryuku Island, Japan, April 24, 1771.
10. Ise Bay, Japan, June 18,1586.
The Sumatra, Indonesia tsunami has a magnitude of 9.1. An
earthquake off the coast of
Sumatra was estimated to have taken place at a depth of thirty
kilometers. The tsunami alone was as tall as fifty meters . . .
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
do not italicize
Your data analysis mainly, your articulation, goes here that may
include your additionally drawn figures/tables/math, etc.
An example analysis . . .In 2017, here recently, natural disasters
have costed the U.S economy three hundred and seven billion
dollars. There were sixteen events that cost more than one
billion dollars each. This includes heat waves, earthquakes,
tornadoes, floods, droughts, and tsunamis. The U.S was already
in debt of 20.6 trillion dollars, but the government has passed

two funding bills appropriating thirty-four billion disaster
funds. Last year, Congress approved to fund fifteen billion
dollars to help rebuild and pay for damages from Hurricane
Harvey and Irma. Then again, in February another thirty-six
billion for funds to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Natural
disasters are becoming more frequent and more difficult and
costly for the government to fix. This year, as of 2018, there
were already eleven weather outburst that cost the government
over one billion dollars so far.
An example discussionbased on your data . . . Since pesticides
were made to kill and the mode of action is not specified to
attack a certain species, they most often kill or harm organisms
other than the pest they were designed for, including humans
and animals that get poisoned as a result of pesticides. The
World Health Organization estimates pesticide poisoning cases
to be 3 million each year and up to at least 220,000 deaths being
primarily in developing countries. Even the lowest levels of
exposure can have some type of effect on people. Younger
children and older people are more vulnerable to harmful effects
of pesticides. Children are at a greater risk because their bodies
are smaller, and their bodies and organs are growing rapidly
which makes them more susceptible. Exposure can cause many
different ranges of neurological health effects like memory loss,
loss of coordination, reduced speed of response to stimuli,
reduced visual ability, altered or uncontrollable mood and
general behavior, and reduced motor skills. Pesticide exposure
has also been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and
problems with reproduction and fetal development. Health
studies have been conducted on people that have drank
contaminated water supplies but the studies have been limited.
CONCLUSION (in 300-400 words)
do not italicize
An example . . . In conclusion there are about 50,000 different

pesticide products that are used in the U.S. chat are made up of
over 600 active ingredients. Even though the acute health
effects of ingesting large amounts of a pesticide can be
measured, the chronic effects of the long-term exposure to the
low levels are much harder to explain. Many pesticides and
other synthetic organic compounds are potent chemicals with
potential health effects in people even at very low
concentrations. The primary importance is to keep the pesticide
contaminations out of our water supply by carefully managing
the use of pesticides on farms, government screenings and
pesticide regulations, the protection of groundwater recharge,
and the use of farming methods that minimizes the damage done
to the environment.
