Environmental Impacts on Human Health: The Agenda for Long-Term Research and Development

by John J. Cohrssen, Sidney Draggan, Richard Morrison

Overview

In 1984, the Conference on Environmental Quality, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Science Foundation convened a series of panel meetings to discuss long-term environmental issues. Environmental Impacts on Human Health is the result of that prestigious conference. Drawing on contributions from nationally recognized scientists and experts from industry and government, this collection of papers will help to redirect long-term environmental research and development.
