The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Download or read book Natural Resources and Environment written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO assessed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to negotiate voluntary agreements with the chemical industry to perform tests on the health and environmental effects of chemical substances, in lieu of issuing administrative rules to require such testing pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act. GAO also identified whether opportunities were provided under this approach for public participation. GAO believes that EPA may negotiate voluntary testing agreements and, in appropriate instances, accept them in lieu of the act's test rules. EPA officials feel that voluntary negotiated testing agreements outside of the formal rulemaking process reduce the time it takes to obtain data on health and environmental effects. They stated that developing a negotiated agreement would require fewer EPA resources than acquiring the same data through a formal rule; in addition, a negotiated agreement lends itself to a cooperative, rather than an adversarial, relationship among all parties. EPA takes the position that issuance of a test rule to require health and environmental effects testing by manufacturers is not necessary under the act when voluntary testing by the manufacturers either has been agreed to or is ongoing. GAO believes that the EPA interpretation of its authority to negotiate agreements with industry for the voluntary testing of priority chemical substances is reasonable. A major shortcoming of the negotiated testing agreement is that it is not enforceable. However, EPA can issue a test rule if an agreement is not lived up to. The negotiated testing process, as described by EPA, provides the opportunity for the public to review and comment on proposed EPA actions at four different points of the process.
Book Synopsis U.S. Health in International Perspective by : National Research Council
Download or read book U.S. Health in International Perspective written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

Book Synopsis Borrowed Earth, Borrowed Time by : Glenn E. Schweitzer
Download or read book Borrowed Earth, Borrowed Time written by Glenn E. Schweitzer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews efforts to control hazardous chemicals from the early 1970s into the very beginning of the 1990s. Many of the issues which were hotly debated 15 years earlier are still on the national agenda and are surrounded with more controversy than ever before. The emphasis is on environmental goals and on general policies and approaches in search of these goals. At the same time, environmental issues teem with controversy over details-in the fine print of the laws, in the Federal Register announcements of new regulations, in enforcement orders, and in court rulings. In the environmental field the gaps are enormous between the politicians, the experts, and the public in understanding the facts, in recognizing the uncertainties, in developing a basis for reaching decisions laden with value judgments, and in translating these judgments into implementation activities. However, the goals must be clear even to identify the important facts and uncertainties themselves and to frame the judgments which must be made. If a consensus cannot be reached on the appropriate goals and objectives, then the nation is in serious trouble. The importance of such a consensus is underscored by one industrial estimate that each American family already pays $150 per month in direct and hidden environmental costs, expenditures which we can ill-afford to misdirect.

Employing a broad country-based approach, this edited collection, first published in 1986, surveys the growth, nature and effectiveness of the environmental management policies implemented by governments around the world. The overarching argument is that a coherent international approach is needed to deal with the problems surrounding environmental sustainability. This title will be of great value to students of the natural environment, sustainability and resource management.
