In 1984, the Conference on Environmental Quality, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Science Foundation convened a series of panel meetings to discuss long-term environmental issues. Environmental Impacts on Human Healthis the result of that prestigious conference. Drawing on contributions from nationally recognized scientists and experts from industry and government, this collection of papers will help to redirect long-term environmental research and development. The book addresses four topic areas: surface and groundwater processes and pollution; land/soil processes and pollution; atmospheric/oceanic processes and pollution; and multimedia toxic substance/hazardous waste research.
