The overall costs to farmers, consumers, and taxpayers if either atrazines or triazines were not available are extensive. Table 12.5 gives a summary of net costs per year over the first 5 years beginning in 1996. In this case the results from the scenarios with a federal farm program in place were averaged with the case when there are no farm program payments. This average scenario was an attempt to model the federal farm program effects if they were phased out over 7 years.

Similar findings resulted from a study sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse of 10,000 clients in nearly 100 treatment programs and in a metaanalysis of 78 separate drug treatment outcome studies. In addition, a summary of 51 published and 17 unpublished reports regarding the costs versus benefits of substance abuse treatment firmly validated the cost-effectiveness of treatment. ... 

In summary, the number and costs of workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities are unacceptably high. Injury and illness prevention programs have been proven to help employers and society reduce the personal, financial and societal costs that injuries, illnesses and fatalities impose. As described below, the thousands of workplaces that have implemented these programs in some form have already witnessed the resulting benefits, in the form of higher efficiency, greater worker productivity and lower costs. 

The rest of this chapter is organized as follows. In the next section, we provide the relevant literature review. We then outline the notation and basic assumptions of our model and develop a dynamic program with the aim of minimizing the total expected delivery cost. Next, we propose three heuristic decision rules, which we evaluate by numerical simulation. We wrap up the chapter with a summary of our main results and some ideas for future research. 

This compilation of information related to aqueous homogeneous reactors summarizes the results of more than ten years of research and development by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other organizations. Some 1500 technical man-years of effort have been devoted to this work, the cost of -which totals more than 50 million. A summary of a program of this magnitude must necessarily be de- mted primarily to the main technical approaches pursued, with less attention to alternate approaches. For more complete coverage, the reader is directed to the selected bibliography at the end of Part I.
