Introduction
The purpose of the Core List for an Environmental Reference Collection is to identify
key information resources in the areas of environmental protection, management, and
science. The Core List was developed by EPA's National Library Network for EPA
information professionals, state environmental librarians, environmental librarians in
other countries, and other individuals involved in developing or managing collections of
environmental information resources.
The Core List was conceived of and originally compiled in the early 1990's. The
resources in this edition were selected, compiled and organized by the librarians at the
EPA-RTP Library with input from the librarians of the EPA National Library Network.
The titles selected for the list were those deemed valuable by the librarians and staff
working in EPA libraries in support of the Agency's mission. The symbols listed below
are used throughout the document to indicate the following sub-sets of materials:
* Titles marked with an asterisk (*) were selected by a workgroup of EPA
librarians as the essential reference collection elements that an EPA library
should have onsite.
+ Titles marked with a plus sign (+) indicate electronic resources that generally
require a subscription or paid access.
The resources in this list provide information about sustainability, conservation,
pollution, environmental law, atmospheric trends, water quality, alternative and
renewable energy, waste management, public policy, endangered species, and many other
environmental issues. Most of the titles on the list were published within the last ten years
and are readily available. Several are published serially. The list includes both print and
electronic resources. Electronic resources were selected without consideration of the
sponsoring agency and may be hosted by commercial entities. The EPA does not endorse
commercial entities nor advocate their use.
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 general reference sources, which contains directories,
dictionaries, encyclopedias and other sources that cross subject boundaries. Entries are
arranged alphabetically within each section. Each entry includes the title, author or editor,
publication date, and publisher or distributor of the resource. Many of the entries include
a brief description of the resource as well.
A list of acronyms used can be found at the end of the list. A list of key environmental
journals and a directory of publishers are also included.

Air Quality / Air Pollution
Air pollution is the presence of contaminants in the air in concentrations
that prevent the normal dispersive ability of the air, and that interfere with
biological processes and human economics. Air quality standards are the
level of pollutants prescribed by regulations that are not to be exceeded
during a given time in a defined area. See also the section on Motor
Vehicles and Emissions.

(decades or longer). Climate change may result from natural factors, such
as changes in the sun's intensity or slow changes in the Earth's orbit
around the sun; natural processes within the climate system (e.g.,
changes in ocean circulation); human activities that change the
atmosphere's composition (e.g., through burning fossil fuels) and the land
surface (e.g., deforestation, reforestation, urbanization, desertification,
etc.).

Ecology and Ecosystems
Ecology is the relationship of living things to one another and their
environment, or the study of such relationships. An ecosystem is defined
as place having unique physical features, encompassing air, water, and
land, and habitats supporting plant and animal life. Subtopics include, but
are not limited to, conservation biology, forest ecology, landscape ecology,
plant ecology, soil ecology, and wetland ecology.

Environmental Equity / Environmental Justice
Environmental equity is equal protection from environmental hazards for
individuals, groups or communities regardless of race, ethnicity, or
economic status. Environmental justice is the fair treatment of all people
regardless of race, color, national origin, or income 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.

Environmental Risk Assessment and 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.
Environmental 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.
Environmental risk management is the process of evaluating and selecting
alternative regulatory and non-regulatory responses to environmental risk.

Hazardous Waste / Superfund
Hazardous wastes are a subset of solid wastes that pose substantial or
potential threats to public health or the environment and meet any of the
following criteria: - is specifically listed as a hazardous waste by EPA; -
exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous wastes
(ignitability, corrosiveness, reactivity, and/or toxicity); - is generated by the
treatment of hazardous waste; or is contained in a hazardous waste.
Superfund is the EPA program that is charged with emergency and long-
term removal and remedial activities for major hazardous waste sites.

Water Quality / Water Pollution
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.
