WHAT'S OUT THERE The books listed here are not in the EPA Headquarters Library, but should be available in bookstores or at your local public library. Nickon, Ales and silversmith, Ernest, F. Organic Chemistry: The Name Game: Modern Coined Terms and Their Origins. Elmsford, N.Y. : Pergamon, 1987. $75.00 ($29.50 - paper). Organic chemists dealing with complex molecular structures nearly always avoid complicated IUPAC - approved names by using either acronyms or nonsystematic coined names. This book is the lighthearted record of recently invented trivial names for organic structures, reactions, and techniques. Mercer, David. IBM - How the World's Most Successful Company is Managed. Kogan Page, 1987. 306pp. In his analysis David Mercer draws on his experience as an IBM manager and as a businessman working in conjunction with IBM. Some enticing chapter titles read: Organization by Controlled Anarchy; Party Time [deals with organizational relationships with PC dealers and agents]; and the Japanese Lesson. 9 ------- APRIL 1988 Viscusi, W.K. and Magat, W.A. Learning About Risk: Consumer and Worker Responses to Hazard Information. Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press, 1987. 197pp. $27.50. The fundamental premise of this book is that information policies affect economic behavior by altering consumers' and workers' assessment of risk. Extensive surveys of consumers and workers explore aspects of this behavior in response to products' hazard warning label. Kuznick, Peter J. Bevond the Laboratory: Scientists as Political Activists in 1930s America. Chicago, IL : University of Chicago Press, 1987. 363pp. $29.95. This book explores the end of Science's "Ivory Tower" days, as it took social upheavals of seismic proportions to jolt it into the thick of twentieth - century politics.

A************************************************************* ACCIDENT: Explosion and fire resulting release of radioactivity PLACE: Chernobyl (80 mi. north of Kiev) CASUALTIES: 31 dead from acute radiation exposure, 500 hospitalized, 135,000 evacuated within 18- mile radius COST: Approximately $14 billion (according to the Politburo) *************************************************************** Answer: Even though there remains considerable uncertainty about the impact of the accident at Chernobyl, several studies have predicted far-ranging effects. initial estimates of potential cancer deaths varied widely because of uncertainty about radiation exposure of Soviet and European citizens. In 1987 the International Atomic Energy Agency predicted that the radiation released at Chernobyl could cause over 10,000 cancer deaths in the Soviet Union over the next 70 years. Health officials around the world are expecting increases in other health disorders such as Downs syndrome and birth defects, thyroid diseases and metabolic disorders. other experts expect up to 40,000 deaths due to long-term radioactive contamination of the food supply. The Chernobyl accident and aftermath prompted increased research on reactor safety around the world. In addition the event dealt a damaging blow to the farming industry in the Soviet union, Britain and Northern Europe. It encouraged openness (glasnost) between soviet Officials and Soviet Citizens, and the world community. 13 ------- APRIL 1988 CHERNOBYL REFERENCES: "Chernobyl Meltdown: The 20th-century Plague" by Sharon Begley & Susan Katz.
