Improved Information Could Better Enable EPA to Manage Electronic Waste and Enforce Regulations
ISBN: 9781500640491 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. EPA does not have adequate information to ensure effective E-waste management and enforcement to protect public health and conserve valuable resources. For example, EPA manages E-waste without a consistent approach for defining E-waste. This hampers EPA's ability to effectively collect relevant information and set goals. Further, EPA lacks complete information on E-waste disposition, which hinders the effective use of its resources. EPA enforcement is hampered by the lack of complete information on cathode ray tube (CRT) exporters in the United States. This incomplete information hinders...

Scientists are confident that many of the observed changes in the climate can be linked to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, caused largely by people burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, heat and cool buildings, and power vehicles. Current and future emissions will continue to increase the levels of these gases in our atmosphere for the foreseeable future. One way to track and communicate the causes and effects of climate change is through the use of indica-tors. An indicator, such as a record of Arctic sea ice extent, represents the...
