FOREWORD
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under a series of
documents exchanges with foreign governments and international organi-
zations, is collecting environmental reports from around the world.
This publication, a monthly announcement of documents received by EPA
under the exchanges, is distributed to EPA staff and is available to
others through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).
See inside cover for subscription rates.
Index System
In each issue the document summaries are grouped by subject, by
category of document, and by country. Subject areas, which reflect
EPA programs, include:
air pesticides
water toxic substances
noise radiation
solid wastes land use
Categories of documents are:
1. general
2. legal/legislative/regulatory (LR)
3. planning/management/organization (PM)
4. scientific/technical (ST)
5. socio/economic (SE)
Summaries covering more than one subject are cross-referenced in
the Table of Contents. Abstracts appear only once, however, under the
primary subject heading marked by an asterisk. For example a British
report on "Disposal of Awkward Household Wastes" is indexed under
pesticides, solid wastes, water, and toxic substances. The summary
appears only once, under solid wastes, but the report title is listed
with the EPA ID number under each of the other headings.
Explanation of the codes and abbreviations used with each summary
is on page ii.
Translations
EPA staff may request more extensive abstracts or full text trans-
lations. EPA Form 1350-1, Translations Services Requisition, is used to
order translations through the Library Systems Branch. Translation
services, which are available only to EPA staff are expensive and should
be requested only when essential. Payment is made by the requesting office.
Source Documents
EPA staff may request the original documents, located in the EPA
Headquarters Library in Washington, by using the order form in the back.
The documents are not loaned outside the Agency. Others may use the
collection at Headquarters for reference purposes.

THE OBLIGATION OF MEMBER STATES TO ADOPT THE NECESSARY MEASURES FOR A PREVENTION OF TRANSFPONTIE*

ACCORDING TO THE COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL, BE PROHIBITED FROM CONTAINING MORE THAN TWO PERCENT 3F

1983. PROVISIONS COULD BE MADE FOR COUNTRIES WITH iPfcCIAL PROBLEMS. SEVERAL EC COUNTRIES ARE
CONSIDERING NATIONAL LEGISLATION IN ORDER TO REDUCE ACID PRECIPITATION, BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
IS TO CONVINCE THE NINE COUNTRIES TO ACCEPT ONE POLICY. THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON GREAT BRITAIN,
FOR EXAMPLE, WOULD BE TREMENDOUS AND THIS COUNTRY HAS, AS A RESULT, SPOKEN OUT IN FAVOR DF OTHER
SOLUTIONS, I.E. THE PROMOTION OF HIGHER CHIMNEYS. NORWEGIAN AUTHORITIES, WHO APE DEEPLY

THIS ARTICLE DISCUSSES THE SOCIOECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS OF THE GROWING SUPPORT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND ANALYZES THE REGJLATORY AND ECONOMIC DEVICES WHICH CAN BE
APPLIED TO STRIKE AN EQUITABLE BALANCE BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES AND DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS.
CORPORATE PLANNERS MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE DYNAMIC SOCIOEC3NDMIC FACTORS ARISING PROM THE ECOLOGICAL
DEBATE, AND AN,INDIAN CASE STUDY ILLUSTRATES THE DETRIMENTAL tCONOMIC EFFECTS RESULTING FR3M A
LACK OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING IN A PROPOSAL FOR BUILDING A FERTILIZER PLANT IN NEW BDMBAY.
THE SUSPENSION OF THIS BADLY NEEDED INDUSTRY RESULTED FROM A CONFLICT WITH ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND
FROM THE ABSENCE OF A COMPETENT AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE SUCH CONFLICTS. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT
CONTINGENCY STRATEGY IS ESSENTIAL TO CORPORATE PLANNING IN FACE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. THE
ARTICLE GOES ON TO COMMENT ON FUTURE IMPLICATIONS FOR CORPORATE PLANNERS OF THE NEW INDIAN

THIS NEWSPAPER ARTICLE REPORTS THAT THE HIGH CRIMINAL CJURT OF HANAU IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC
OF GERMANY HAS SENTENCED A WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR SUSPECTED OF CAUSING GPOUNDWATEP POLLUTION T D
2 1/4 YEARS IMPRISONMENT ON 14 COUNTS OF FRAUD. THE FRAUD CHANGE WAS BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE
HAD BILLED FIRMS FOR INCINERATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES, WHILE HE HAD ACTUALLY DUMPED THE1 AT
CONSIDERABLY LESS COST. HE COULD NOT BE FOUND GUILTY OF WATER POLLUTION UNDER THE WATER
MANAGEMENT LAW, SINCE, ACCORDING TO THE COURT, CONCRETE EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS THE SOLE POLLUTER 0'
THE WATERS IN QUESTION WOULD HAVE BEEN NECESSARY. ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT CRIMINAL CODE D3ES NOT
INCLUDE ENVIRONMENTAL OFFENSES, A DRAFT "SIXTH LAW TO RfcFORM THE CRIMINAL CODE," PREPARED BY THE
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF JUSTICE IN MAY, WOULD MAKE POLLUTION, INCLUDING WATER POLLUTION, A PUNISHABLE
VIOLATION IN ITSELF.

TWO BIOLOGISTS FROM THE BOTANICAL INSTITUTE OF THE UNIVERSITY DF GENEVA AT THE REQUFST DF THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE PROTECTION OF LAKE GENEVA'S WATERS FROM POLLUTION IN ORDER TO
COLLECT DATA CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO THE ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE WATERS FROM POLLUTION. AN
