Environmental Protection Agency policy is to express all measurements in SI units. When implementing this practice will result in undue costs or lack of clarity, conversion factors are provided for the non-SI units. This report uses British Engineering units of measure for some cases. For conversion to the SI system, use the following conversions ...

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency policy is to minimize "alterations" of quality or quantity of the natural waters that affect wetlands ( ). These wetlands are recognized as sensitive ecological areas and, thus, any near-term use of significant areas must be considered unlikely. This author envisions that in the near-term, marsh plant-energy systems can be established on already-disturbed or marginal wetland areas, or where...

Industrial scientists, therefore, hold a very high public trust. There is a need to go beyond the requirements of scientific canons and demonstrate to the lay public that its trust has been upheld. A number of industrial firms have recognized and responded to this need. Wilder, of Eastman Chemical, for example, describes a proactive pollution prevention policy developed in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency.112 This work describes the key role of analytics in helping chemical manufacturers take leadership roles in redesigning processes for waste prevention. Since the analytical laboratory is a principal referee in the production process, there is always a risk that time pressures will tempt some members of the production team to "work the referee". An important function of the chain of command of the analytical laboratory, therefore, is establishing a clear operational policy to ensure that any such pressure does not reach the bench level ...
