This literature review was obtained by reviewing and analyzing peer-reviewed scholarly articles related to Sun Coast’s six problems. The six problems are particulate matter, safety training effectiveness, sound-level exposure, new employee training, lead exposure, and return on investment. This literature review will provide evidence on how each of Sun Coast’s problems may directly impact the company and its employees.

Particulate Matter (PM)

In 2016, Velentza conducted quantitative research on existing data concerning particulate matter and its impact on humans and other organisms’ health. Velentza (2016) is a Registered Nurse (RN) specializing in psychiatric and environmental nursing at the Eginition Hospital in Athens, Greece. The study outlines particulate matters’ classification, how they are formed and their direct sources, and the impact on the human body and DNA (Velentza, 2016). The study found that exposure to particulate matter can cause minor to serious damage to the human body, including increased phlegm, persistent cough, dizziness, respiratory problems, damaged lung tissue, and cardiovascular diseases (Velentza, 2016). The study also found that long-term human exposure to particulate matter can reduce a human’s life span by one to two years (Velentza, 2016). The study relates to Sun Coast because there is a concern that particulate matter on and around the job site is causing health problems for their employees, which directly impacts costs for employee health benefits and compensation.

Safety Training Effectiveness

Sound-Level Exposure

New Employee Training

Lead Exposure

Return on Investment

The paragraph that discusses the article should include the authors’ qualifications, the purpose of the study, research methodologies and designs used, results from the study, and explanations of how the articles relate to Sun Coast’s problem.
