Introduction
The purpose of the Core List is to identify key information
resources in the areas of environmental protection, management,
and science. The Core List was developed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's National Library Network for
EPA information professionals, State environmental librarians,
and other individuals involved in developing or managing
collections of environmental information resources.
Developing the Core List
The Core List was compiled under the direction of Jonda Byrd,
EPA's Library Network Program Manager, by Mary Hoffman
(contractor), the Library Network Coordinator, with the
assistance and support of the EPA Library Network. The titles
included on this list are those used most frequently by the
librarians and staff working in U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency libraries in support of the Agency's mission. The list
also includes publications requested most frequently from EPA's
National Center for Environmental Publications and Information
(NCEPI) and web sites published in the EPA Headquarters Library's
Internet Newsbrief. The resources selected for this list contain
information about conservation, pollution, environmental law,
atmospheric trends, water quality, alternative and renewable
energy, waste management, public policy, endangered species, and
many other environmental issues too numerous to mention.
All of the resources included in this Core List were readily
available at the time the list was printed. A number of titles
were omitted from the list because they are for all practical
purposes out of print and difficult to obtain. Most of the
titles on the list were published within the last ten years and
several are published serially.
Using the Core List
The Core List is presented in several sections. Most of the
sections relate to environmental topics such as Air Quality or
Water Quality. A few sections are composed of specific types of
documents such as dictionaries and encyclopedias. The topical
sections in this update have been reorganized and expanded
according to recommendations made by the EPA librarians.
Some changes have been made to other parts of the original list.
Relevant background documents previously listed in a separate
section are now listed at the beginning of the appropriate
topical section. Titles' for key online, CD-ROM, and Internet
sources have been added to give the reader a more complete
overview of available information sources. The update also
includes a list of journals identified by the EPA librarians as
essential to their support of agency research and operations. As
in the original list, there is a list of publishers and
ii
-------
distributors of environment-related sources.
Entries are arranged alphabetically within each section. Each
entry includes the title, author or editor, publication date,
publisher or distributor, and ordering information. The prices
listed are estimates supplied by the publisher that may have
changed since the list was published. We recommend that all
prices be verified with the publisher or distributor.
The entries marked with asterisks (*) are highly recommended by
the EPA libraries. A list of acronyms used in the list can be
found at the end of the list, along with several indexes to the
titles listed.
Updating the Core List
The EPA Library Network plans to update the Core List
periodically, expanding it to include new information sources and
new media formats.

« Air Qualify I Air Pollution »
Air pollution is the presence of contaminant or pollutant
substances in the air that do not disperse properly and intelrfere
with human health or welfare, or produce other harmful
environmental effects. Air quality standards define the level of
pollutants prescribed by regulations that may not be exceeded
during a given time in a defined area. Air quality criteria are
the levels of pollution and lengths of exposure above which
adverse health and welfare effects may occur. See also the
section on Motor Vehicles & Emissions.

< < Chemical Properties A Characteristics > >
Chemical properties are the attributes, traits, and/or
peculiarities that enable scientists to distinguish one substance
from another. In most of EPA's research, the most significant
characteristics are any one of the four categories used to define
hazardous waste: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and
toxicity. For sources with similar information, see also the
sections on Pesticides & Toxic Substances and Test Methods.

their environment, or the study of such relationships. An
ecosystem is the interacting system of a biological community and
its non-living environmental surroundings. Elements of an
ecosystem structure include species population density, species
richness or evenness, and crop biomass.

< < Environmental Equity I Environmental Justice > >
Environmental equity is equal protection from environmental
hazards of individuals, groups or communities regardless of race,
ethnicity, or economic status. Environmental justice is the fair
treatment of all races, cultures, incomes, and educational levels
with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement
of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment
implies that no population of people should be forced to shoulder
a disproportionate share of the negative environmental impacts of
pollution or environmental hazards due to a lack of political or
economic strength.

< < Pollution Prevention > >
Pollution prevention is the active process of identifying areas,
processes, and activities which create excessive waste byproducts
for the purpose of substitution, alteration, or elimination of
the process to prevent waste generation.

< < Risk Assessment A Management > >
Risk is a measure of the probability that damage to life, health,
property, and/or the environment will occur as a result of a
given hazard. Risk assessment is the qualitative and quantitative
evaluation of the risk posed to human health and/or the
environment by the actual or potential presence and/or use of
specific pollutants. Risk management is the process of evaluating
and selecting alternative regulatory and non-regulatory responses
to risk. The selection process necessarily requires the
consideration of legal, economic, and behavioral factors.

< < Solid Waste & Recycling > >
Solid waste is composed of non-liquid, non-soluble materials
ranging from municipal garbage to industrial wastes that contain
complex and sometimes hazardous substances. Solid waste also
includes sewage sludge, agricultural refuse, demolition wastes,
and mining residues. Technically, solid waste also refers to
liguids and gases in containers. Solid waste disposal is the
final placement of refuse that is not salvaged or recycled.
Recycling is the minimization of waste generation by recovering
and reprocessing usable products that might otherwise become
waste (i.e. recycling of aluminum cans, paper, and bottles,
etc.).

< < Water Quality I Water Pollution > >
The titles in this section contain information on the quality of
water in all types of bodies of water - including rivers,
streams, lakes, wetlands, aquifers, watersheds, and oceans - and
the full range of related issues. Water pollution is the presence
in water of enough harmful or objectionable material to damage
the water's quality. Water quality criteria are the levels of
water quality expected to render a body of water suitable for its
designated use. Criteria are based on specific levels of
pollutants that would make the water harmful if used for
drinking, swimming, farming, fish production, or industrial
processes. Water quality standards are adopted by the states and
approved by EPA prescribe the use of the water body and establish
the water quality criteria that must be met to protect designated
uses.
