Browner, C. M. (July) 1993. "Pollution Prevention: It's a Whole New Way of Doing Business," EPA Journal 19, no. 3:6. Businesses are invited by the EPA to reduce pollution production rather than try "end of the pipe" solutions.
Calwell, Chris. 1994.No More Tailpipes: The Role of Electric Vehicles in Clearing California's Air. New York: The Natural Resources Defense Council. A short but useful summary of the opportunity for reducing air pollution in urban areas.
Castleman, M. (September/October) 1993. "This Place Makes Me Sick," Sierra 78, no. 5:106. Chemicals evaporating from perfumes, correction fluids, household cleaners, and building materials can contribute to the "sick house syndrome."
Fischhoff, B. 1991. "Report from Poland: Science and Politics in the Midst of Environmental Disaster," Environment 33, no. 2:21. Decades of neglect and oppression have created an environmental disaster in Eastern Europe. The new democratic governments have little money to clean up the mess they inherited.
French, H. F. 1991. "Restoring Eastern European and Soviet Environments," State of the World 1991. Washington, DC: Worldwatch Institute. Environmental reconstruction is imperative in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The Green ecological movement has been instrumental in both political change and environmental restoration.
Graedel, T. E., and P. J. Crutzen. 1989. "The Changing Atmosphere," Scientific American 261, no. 3:58. Describes how human activities are polluting the atmosphere.
Harvey, L. D. (September) 1993. "Tackling Urban CO2 Emissions in Toronto," Environment 35, no. 7:16. While many national governments are arguing about global warming, fourteen cities have joined the Urban CO2 Project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Krahl-Urban, B., et al. 1988. Forest Decline. Corvallis, OR: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A thorough and beautifully illustrated report on the effects of air pollution on forests in North America and Germany. Presents data and theories on several mechanisms of forest ecosystem damage.
Monastersky, R. (April) 1993. "Ozone Layer Shows Record Thinning," Science News 143, no. 17:260. Satellite measurements show that stratospheric ozone levels are falling 10 percent or more above much of the planet.
Parrish, D. D., et al. (March) 1993. "Export of North American Ozone Pollution to the North Atlantic Ocean," Science 259:1436. The amount of tropospheric ozone produced photochemically from anthropogenic precursors is calculated to be greater than that from natural sources. This effect appears to be hemispherewide at northern temperate latitudes.
Reilly, W. K. 1991. "The New Clean Air Act: An Environmental Milestone," EPA Journal 17, no. 1:2. The head of the EPA explains the significance of the new act not only as a tool for management but also as an environmental precedent in a special volume entirely devoted to this issue.
