Publisher's Notes
More than 35,000 contaminated sites have been identified since the Environmental Protection Act was passed in 1969. Exactly where are these human-made danger zones? Which compounds are creating the problems, and what kinds of threats do they pose? What's being done to correct the problem? Toxic Waste Sites: An Encyclopedia of Endangered America exists to answer these vital questions. An introductory overview describes the problem and the federal laws that address it, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the law that gave birth to the Superfund. It also summarizes important controversies surrounding the Superfund remediation process. In more than 1,300 entries, arranged by state, this comprehensive reference describes the location and history of each Superfund site in the United States and its territories. It also charts types of Superfund sites by state and lists common contaminant chemicals. In addition, a glossary of technical terms, more than 50 maps, and an address list of regional EPA offices make this volume the best single source of information on Superfund sites for students, professionals, and concerned citizens.
