Under a series of documents exchange agreements with environmental
agencies in other countries, EPA is building a collection of
environmental reports issued by foreign governments and international
organizations. This is the first in a series of Announcements of
foreign documents received.
The original documents can be obtained through the Library Systems
Branch (see back page for order form). More detailed English
abstracts can be provided when required. Full text translations,
which are expensive, should be requested only when essential for
operation of EPA programs. Translation Services Requisition Form
#1350-1 is used to request translations.
A computerized search system is being developed which will allow
future retrieval of these summaries by:

This series, which is devoted to summaries of government reports
and concentrated on the legislative, economic and social aspects,
supplements foreign scientific and technical literature abstracts
covered by other EPA information services:

Ultimately, EPA plans to assemble a major collection of foreign

to the dissemination of this information to EPA staff. This
announcement of documents received is the first step.

This comprehensive assessment of the status
of air pollution in Denmark reflects the inves-
tigations of a special Air Subcommittee assisted
by ten field teams. The report stresses a pri-
ority need for a systematic, nationwide measure-
ment of air quality, proposes the creation of a
central administration to control air contamina-
tion, calls for national legislation before the
problem becomes uncontrollable, and provides
cost estimates to implement the Subcommittee's
recommendations.

Revised, more stringent standards for sul-

reflecting the Japanese Governmeiit' s determined
efforts since 1969 to reduce this najor source
of air pollution. A recent survey by the gov-

sulphur dioxide contamination decreased during

This pamphlet outlines the technological

the development of an electric car for city-
bound transportation to alleviate air pollution
and noise problems generated by gasoline-
powered automobiles. One of nine priority proj-
ects under the National Research and Development
Program, the $14 million project requires that
an initial prototype electric car model be built
and test-run by 1973, with a final prototype
completed by 1975. Models will include light-
weight and compact passenger cars and trucks and
an electric bus. The projected replacement of
gasoline-powered transport by electric vehicles
is expected to reduce inner city air pollution
by two-thirds. Noise levels will be lowered ap-
preciably.

The illustrated booklet contains a detailed
survey of Stockholm's regional heating network.
In the inner city the total hookup to the
district-heating grids (oil-fired, steam/hot
water) has increased fourfold during 1965-70,
substantially reducing the emission of sulphur
dioxide and soot into the air. The decline of
air pollution is attributed to the higher effi-
ciency of the district heating plants, their use
of effective combustion techniques and dust ex-
tractors, and progress in replacing numerous
rooftop chimneys with a few tall smokestacks at
key facilities.

This booklet is intended to show interested
parties in other countries how Sweden counter-
acts environmental destruction. Air and water
pollution reduction reflects government grants
to industries and municipalities to build more
purification plants. The successful restoration
of two polluted 'lakes has encouraged further ex-
periments in improving water quality. Guide-
lines to deal with traffic noise are being
drafted by the National Board of Urban Planning.
The role of the National Poisons and Pesticides
Board in controlling the use of dangerous pesti-
cides is discussed. Aerial spraying of forests
with phenol acids was banned in 1972, and seed
dressings containing alkyl mercury are no longer
permitted.

Several antinoise measures have been initi-
ated by Stockholm's Public Health Committee.
Jet aircraft noise was reduced by designating
nearby Bromma Airport exclusively for piston-
engined aircraft while diverting jet traffic to
Arlanda Airport 40 miles axvay. The required
warmup of piston engines before takeoff has been
held to a minimum since Sweden's domestic air-
lines were urged to fit their aircraft with
engine heaters. A recent ordinance prohibits
idling of motor vehicle engines outdoors for
longer than three minutes except during traffic
delay. The sound level from a refuse collection
truck must not exceed 70 db (decibles) measured
three meters away, and compressors on construc-
tion sites must not emit noise exceeding 70 db
at a distance of seven meters.

Stockholm area. The Swedish capital burns all
its household and much of its industrial refuse,
the bulk of it at an ultra-modern incinerator
plant opened at Hogdalen in September 1970. The
new plant currently lias two incinerators with an
annual capacity of 160,000 tons. A third incin-

included are the established Federal and Laender
Specifications which provide guidance in the im-

specifications, as technical norms, will gain
increased importance in connection with the is-

The compilation reflects the present status
of the essential regulations on waste disposal
which, at present, are developing vigorously
within the general framework of environmental
protection.
The waste disposal laws of the Laender
Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hessen,
Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Saarland,
Schleswig-Holstein, and Rheinland-Pfaltz, as
shown in this publication, become obsolete to
the extent they are covered by Federal Law. In
those cases where the Laender Regulations are
not covered by Federal Law, they remain in force.
An extensive subject index is included in
the pocketbook.

In this paper, a member of the Survey Mis-

acknowledged, but the author fears a deliberate
deceleration would make qualitative improvement
difficult by encouraging monopoly, protection,
lethargy, and cost inflation. Instead, he ad-
vocates harmonization of an expanding economy
with social solidarity to provide, for example,
resources for building a pleasant urban commu-

progress of the government's New National Inte-

tation and communications networks; massive in-
dustrial complexes and energy supply bases in
remote areas; and environment improvement proj-

Concern over environmental pollution gener-
ated by Japan's over-emphasis upon economic
prosperity as a national target is reflected in
this monograph by a member of the Survey Mission
on "New Problems of Advanced Societies." His
proposals to strengthen future countermeasures
stress international cooperation; relocation of
industrial plants to new, less congested indus-
trial zones, with costs to be shared by central
and local governments and private firms; and in-
creased involvement by each plant and construc-
tion contractor in developing a new antipollu-
tion technology. The author concludes that the
pollution crisis enables Japan to rechart her
course and give greater priority to environ-
mental preservation than to a century-old pre-
occupation with economic development goals.
