ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH OUTLOOK FOR FY 1978 THROUGH FY 1982. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-78/001 (NTIS PB291893), 1978.
Description:
This report is the third of a series of annual reports to Congress presenting a five-year projection of environmental research activities to be conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This year's report, however, takes a different approach than the two previous in that it focuses on potential environmental problems 10 to 15 years into the future in order to structure responsive solutions within the next 5 years. Priorities for this years' Outlook were selected based upon priorities in national goals as expressed by Congressional actions and upon future trends in residuals entering the environment as a result of future energy resource and development patterns. Based upon these trends and legislative actions, 12 priorities were selected for emphasis in this Research Outlook: Toxic Substances, Atmospheric Pollution, Upper Atmospheric Phenomena, Solid Wastes, Industrial Pollution, Nonionizing Radiation, Energy and the Environment, Nonpoint Discharges, Marine Pollution, Measurement and Monitoring, Strategy Analysis, and Technical Information Dissemination.
