9780275937669: Harnessing Science for Environmental Regulation

Sinossi

The crucial interface between science and regulation is studied by Graham and contributors who assess science's role in supplying sound data and scientific judgment to regulatory organizations. Three former directors write about the EPA's Science Advisory Board, the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology, and the Health Effects Institute. Then, five case studies in regulatory science focus on the toxic substances: unleaded gasoline; perchloroethylene; formaldehyde; nitrates; and carbon monoxide. The handbook surveys the 30-year rise of regulatory power, assesses the organizations' track records, and suggests creative strategies for harnessing scientific expertise.
