For the Prometheus project, public information sessions were held by NASA and NR to initiate the process for a preliminary environmental impact statement (PEIS), as dictated by the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). Work was initiated to define the reactor plant options and ground based testing needs using a pre-decisional scoping approach. The schedule of follow-on design and testing activities would be guided by compliance with NEPA requirements.

Besides, the list also includes the Toxic Substances Control Act in the USA (1976). the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (1994 ), the Chemical Substances Control Law in Japan (1973), and the Australian Chemicals Act (1989). These regulations, which also affect pigments, demand that all new products be registered. Various toxicological test results have to be presented, depending on the country. The discussed legal requirements are supplemented by many other more or less specific environmental acts, not only in the countries thus mentioned, but also in practically all other industrialized nations.

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970 along with the National Environmental Policy Act, which created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), put some strong measures into air pollution control enforcement. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for implementation of the statutes of this law. The first air pollutants covered by this law of concern to the fuels industry were SOx and NOx. Since the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970, a series of additional U.S. Federal environmental laws affecting various industries have been passed ... 

Did poor environmental management and urban planning contribute to the devastation caused by the tsunami in Thailand Thailand has an Environmental Protection and Quality Act (1975) and a more comprehensive and detailed Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act (1992) in place. The latter established a National Environmental Board that is mandated to prepare a policy and plan for the enhancement and conservation of the environment. It provides criteria and procedures to conduct environmental impact assessments (EIAs), as well as detailing the EIA reporting requirements. Some 500 EIA reports are prepared yearly of which around 20 percent are approved without conditions. (UNEP 2005 Weisman, 2005)... 

The Environmental (Protection) Act 1986 of India increased the central government s authority to establish and enforce environmental standards. The law follows the Western model of chemical safety and risk assessment. The American Chemical Society CAS registry numbers and threshold limit values have been directly adopted, though there is an open ended commitment to the introduction of national standards in the future. Unusually heavy emphasis is placed on the release of every chemical into the atmosphere by accident — pertuqrs the Bhopal syndrome.

In the United States the concept of sustainable development imphcitly originated with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), one of the first major federal laws estabhshing a broad framework for the protection of the environment. It declared as a tenet of national poHcy the need to foster and promote the general welfare, to create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony and fulfill the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. However, the embryonic sustainable development approach described by NEPA in 1969 did not contain clear details that could be apphed in practice. 

In addition to NATES, Environment Canada also maintains a national database called the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI). It is designed to collect and make available to the public, on a yearly basis, comprehensive national data on releases to air, water, and land, transfers in waste, and ongoing emissions of specified substances. Under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), owners or operators of facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use one or more of the 176 specified substances under prescribed conditions are required to report to the NPRI. The NPRI reports for the years 1994 and 1995 can be found on the Environment Canada website (http //www.ec.gc.ca/pdb/npri/).
