Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Tribal communities often bear a disproportionate burden of impact from pollution on their tribal lands. Traditional tribal practices include eating traditional foods for either a majority or a portion of their diets, and contamination of the land or water has a direct effect on food sources.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Children may be more vulnerable to environmental exposures than are adults. Several factors increase children's vulnerability, including the following. Children's body systems are still rapidly developing. Children eat more, drink more, and breathe more (not less) in proportion to their body size than adults. Children's breathing zone is closer to (not further from) the ground than adults'. Children's bodies may be less able to break down and excrete contaminants. Children's behaviors can expose them to more contaminants.
