Gathering good data on hormone release from water treatment plants in a particular area would require all but one of these actions. Choose the exception.
A) preventing any unused drugs from being discarded in the study area
B) preventing large mammals, especially females, from urinating in the area
C) assuring that there is a variety of soils in the area
D) also recording data from an area where there is no water release from a water treatment plant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variety of soils in the area would not really impact the hormone release from water treatment plants. A, B, and D are all relevant actions to take in order to gather good data on hormone release from water treatment plants in a particular area. Preventing unused drugs and preventing large mammals from urinating in the area would reduce the number of chemicals and hormones in the water that could interfere with the study. Additionally, recording data from an area where there is no water release from a water treatment plant would provide a control group for comparison.
