Abstract |
The two part cumulative report contains 26 current awareness documents prepared biweekly from 26 August 1974 through 11 August 1975, during the first year of a two year project. The purpose of this project was to provide the Office of Toxic Substances (OTS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with information on new uses of existing chemical products and with information of obvious potential environmental concern for both new and existing chemical products. For each biweekly document a core list of approximately 80 journals was scanned for information of interest to OTS on more than 30 topics (compounds, classes of compounds, and subject areas, e.g., model ecosystems). Abstracts were prepared for all items selected and these abstracts were presented biweekly under the assigned topics. In addition, a 'General Information' section was added to accommodate abstracts for topics not included in the original list of scanning topics. Biweekly subject indexes were cumulated for this annual compilation, and an author index was added. |
