an increasingly complex industrial society simplifying hazardous
material assessment will encourage non specialists to make assessments
beyond their competence and therefore actually increase risk or cause
unjustified additional expenditure on controls"; concluding that the
controls now in place are insufficient. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Human Habitations' Contribution to Pollution
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses the contribution made by humans and their habitats to the growth of pollution and the depletion of the earth's natural resources.
