Prepared for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this bibliography of published reports covers information concerning the advancement of water pollution control technology and knowledge. The reports provide a central source of information on the research, development, and demonstration activities in the water research program of the EPA,…

This paper includes discussion of: noise induced permanent hearing loss, acoustic injuries of the inner ear, temporary hearing loss, hearing aid induced hearing loss, noise and drugs, noise levels in nurseries and hospitals, auditory skills, loudness and perceived noisiness, nonauditory effects of noise, conclusions, and a bibliography of…

The new energy consciousness has led to a thorough reevaluation of how artificial lighting can be used wisely, while other researchers have explored the potential of daylighting as an alternative interior light source. (Author/MLF)

Drilling during 1978 focused on three major geologic problems: the nature and origin of the oceanic crust, the nature and geologic history of the active continental margins, and the oceanic paleoenvironment. (Author/BB)

Important areas of geodynamics research for the future are the thermal structure and the volatile content of the crust and upper mantle. (BB)

The use of a Johnson Water Well Analyzer in the analysis and testing of high pressure straddle packers in a feasability study of deep underground injections of wastewater is described. (MR)

The discipline of geography has become fragmented by narrow specialization and its boundaries blurred by overlap with neighboring disciplines. Suggestions for reorienting research include increased collaborative projects, more attention to environmental issues, and reemphasis on regional geography. (MSE)

This bibliography identifies key books, reports, and documents for research in the areas of environmental protection, management, and science. The titles included are those used most frequently by librarians and their staffs working in Environmental Protection Agency libraries in support of the Agency's mission. Recommended titles are listed under…

A new OE film presents a roundup of representative environmental education projects now in progress in various parts of the country. (Editor)

An air temperature of 68 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for most learning situations, particularly in reading and mathematics. (Author/MLF)

Two northern Canadian communities, Flin Flon and The Pas, are studied to ascertain social and psychological factors influencing perception of pollution and willingness to engage in corrective action. In spite of overwhelming, contrary evidence, residents felt environmental contamination was not a problem and were not prepared to contend with it.…

Solutions for environmental noise pollution lie in systematic study of many basic processes such as reflection, scattering, and spreading. Noise propagation processes should be identified in different situations and assessed for their relative importance. (PS)

Gives six questions that environmental analysts -- students and faculty members -- seek answers to in ongoing studies of environments in nursing homes, open plan junior high schools, college classrooms, apartment houses, and nursery school rooms. The data or evidence accrued will hopefully have great impact as evidenced in more humane…

Surveys alternate positions regarding scientist's social responsibilities, and advocates continued participation in research with possible military uses to withdraw the chance of informed criticism of the application of the results. Scientists must undertake socio-political or educative activities in addition to research to fulfill their…
