Lewis Publishers:, 1992. 279 pages. "Until 1969, the national philosophy concerning negative environmental effects of major projects such as highways, industrial plants, shopping centers, housing developments, etc, was basically to ignore them during the planning stages of the project. After the work was completed and the environmental effects were apparent, the attitude was generally one of "Too bad, but it couldn't be avoided." On a rare ocasion, small mitigative measures would be installed after the fact. Recognizing that this attitude of "build now and worry about it later" was almost universal, the U.S. Congress in 1969 enacted the National Enviromental Policy Act (NEPA). This Act, in effect, said that environmental impacts should be considered before the plans for a project was finalized. "Look before you leap" becames the approach to be taken." FINE HARDCOVER..

"The effect and ultimate fate of chemicals released into the environment are topics of intense interest to regulatory agencies, chemical manufacturers, and private citizens. The environmental and human exposure concerns are the same, whether these releases are planned, suchas the agricultural use of pesticides and herbicides, or unintentional, such as industrial accidents and oil spills. Not only do these exposures have a direct effect on human health, they also affect delicate balances within nature. This book presents the latest methods of predicting the impact of these chemicals through computer compartmental modeling." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE- DUST JACKET.. Hard Cover.
