The initial effort of a continuing project to analyze the potential human health and environmental risks of a hypothetical one-million-barrels-per-day oil shale industry has been completed as an aid in the formulation and management of a program of environmental research. Readily available knowledge has been compiled and uncertainties regarding the risks have been established with appropriate research recommendations to reduce uncertainties in critical areas. 190 refs., 5 figs., 42 tabs.
