Science at EPA

"In Science at EPA, Mark Powell provides the most comprehensive examination available on the acquisition and use of science in environmental regulation. He analyzes the institutions, players, politics, and challenges involved in this endeavor.". "Science at EPA includes detailed case studies that trace and evaluate the use of science in eight EPA decisions involving each of the major statutory programs. Drawing on extensive research and personal interviews, Powell maps the origins, flow, and impact of scientific information in these decisions. The result is a contribution for practitioners, scholars and students, and citizens determined to protect our environment."--BOOK JACKET.
