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.
