The growing awareness and uneasiness of the public sector about hazardous and toxic chemicals and related materials has created a strong determination by legislators at national, state and local levels to attempt to control these chemicals by laws and regulations. This book combines the research of several experts, all presenting a positive viewpoint that hazardous and toxic chemicals and related materials can be controlled and disposed of without adverse effects on people, the environment, or future generations. Thirteen experts offer their views, research, and latest findings on a wide range of topical issues, including the Toxic Substances Control Act, SARA, long-term toxicity, the Delaware River pollution problem, medical care and surveillance for hazardous waste workers, oil spills, aqueous foams, remediation of contaminated sites, facility siting, and safe transport of dangerous goods. Separate abstracts are included for 4 chapters in this book for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
