Paul, J., J. Depinto, AND W. Lick. RESEARCH NEEDS AND SUMMARY - CHAPTER 16. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/A-94/084 (NTIS PB94169869).
Description:
The point of view that has been taken in the preparation of the material in this volume is that we wanted to show to what extent the research community has been able to provide necessary tools to environmental managers for use in decision making. fter all, in addition to providing a better understanding of the world in which we live, we would like to provide environmental decision-makers with the best scientific information available for use in their deliberations. e must all recognize, however, that decisions are not made solely on the basis of the scientific information presented. conomics, societal values, legislative mandates and regulations, politics, and public perceptions all play a role in the ultimate settlement of environmental issues. ut this reality should not deter us from providing sound technical advice.
