The Macintosh version is no longer available. The 1993 update will include the ISI hardcopy, PC disks, and the PC system user manual. EPA also pubHshes ACCESS EPA, which provides sources of information, databases, and pubHcations within the EPA. Chapter 5 of that pubhcation includes important environmental databases in air and soHd waste, pesticides and toxic substances, water, and cross-program (110). EPA also provides databases accessible through EPA Hbraries, which describe the private EPA and commercial databases available to Hbrary users (111). 

The acquisition of any Instrument, preferably with two sets of operator and service manuals even at additional expense, should be accompanied with the provision to order some spare parts and components. One set of operator and service manuals should stay at the location of each Instrument while the other set should be kept in the technical library of the service laboratory.
