This series from the U.S. EPA provides information
of general interest regarding industry-specific
manufacturing processes and pollution issues
associated with specific industrial sectors. The
series is unique in taking a holistic, "whole facility"
approach to environmental information, instead of
separating information related to pollutants of air,
water, and land. For each industry the Notebook
contains:
• information about size, geographic distribution,
products, and economic trends.
• a description of manufacturing processes,
including inputs of raw materials and
pollution outputs.
• a profile of chemical releases to the
environment.
• a summary of federal environmental regulations
and compliance history.
• pollution prevention opportunities.
• government and industry initiatives for
compliance assurance.
• resource materials and contacts.
The Industry Sector Notebooks are published by the
Office of Compliance, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), and have been thoroughly reviewed
by EPA and outside experts. The Notebooks have all
been carefully researched and referenced, and
include many tables and figures containing
quantitative information relevant to each industry.
The Notebooks are one of the few sources of
consolidated data about an industry. Pollutant
emission and compliance data from the 1995
Notebooks has been revised in the Sector Notebook
Data Refresh — 1997(see Ordering Information).

What D© User© of the
Since 1995, more than 300,000 Notebooks have been
distributed, in hard copy and electronic form. Users
have praised the Notebooks generously. Some of
their comments follow:
"My company does regulatory compliance
audits .. . and we use the Notebooks as background
when -we are unfamiliar -with particular industries.
I realty liked the process descriptions and chemical
release information. I think the project is
wonderful."
—Environmental consultant
"/ read through the printing Notebook twice. I find
it to be a good all-around reference and a good
background document. It gave me some good ideas
on how to improve operations."
—Printing industry commenter
"The Sector Notebooks are a wonderful addition to
our regional library."
—EPA Region 9 Librarian
"First let me say that the Notebooks are
outstanding—first rate. . . . We use the Notebooks
in a course on industrial ecology to teach students
about the environmental impacts of general
industrial processes."
—Professor, Yale University School of Forestry
and Environmental Studies
"The Notebooks were very instructive regarding the
relationship between regulatory requirements and
industry technologies."
—Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, Environment Directorate, France
"The Notebooks give me a real-world feel for the
environmental issues and technology choices that
industries face."
—Professor, Clark University
