CHOICE Review

This is the latest edition of an authoritative reference for major environmental, health, and safety laws in the US. Chapters are devoted to fundamentals of environmental law and mechanisms for enforcement. Fourteen legislative acts are described in great detail, including landmark legislation such as the Clear Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and the Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Chapters describing status were prepared by 15 widely recognized experts who actively participate in the formulation, compliance, and litigation of those laws. A standard format for each chapter includes legislative history, policy goals and objectives, terminology, permitting processes, and compliance requirements. A brief conclusion imparts author views on the intent of the legislation and the future prospects for modifications and administration. Footnotes are used extensively and the book is well indexed. An excellent resource for introducing the serious reader to major environmental, health, and safety laws. Academic and professional collections. D. N. Appel; Texas A&M University
