Exploring Medical and Public Health Preparedness for a Nuclear Incident: Proceedings of a Workshop The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the char- ter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineer ing, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 PROTECTING THE AIR WE BREATHE 15 PROTECTING OUR WATER 19 MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES HEALTHIER 24 SAFER CHEMICALS 26 LAND MANAGEMENT 29 IMPROVING HOMELAND SECURITY 32 CROSS CUTTING RESEARCH 2 For more than 45 years, EPA has focused on its mission of protecting human health and the environment by protecting the air we breathe, the water we enjoy and drink, and the land on which we live. Every step along the way has been supported by science. Science and technology have served as the Agency’s foundation to uphold the nation’s landmark environmental statutes. Along the way, the Agency has continually honed its research to ensure that the information, innovative tools, and technical solutions EPA delivers match the real-world environmental and public health challenges faced by states, tribes, and communities. From communities struggling to rehabilitate contaminated land in ways that revitalize local economies, to small towns looking for affordable new technologies to protect their drinking water systems, EPA research is making a difference. EPA scientists are working with farmers in Oregon and Vermont seeking to reduce nutrient pollution, and with state and local governments in Utah and Michigan to reduce particle and ozone air pollution and protect public health. This report highlights these stories and more. Scientific and technical expertise are critical, but finding solutions also requires genuine cooperation. EPA scientists are working with partners across the country to deliver solutions to a wide range of environmental challenges. The impact is a noticeably cleaner and healthier environment.

  • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS February 13, 2020 Since the Beginnings of Its A
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS February 13, 2020 Since the beginnings of its a development in 1983, the 211 LA County Taxonomy (formally titled A Taxonomy of Human Services: A Conceptual Framework with Standardized Terminology and Definitions for the Field) has benefited from the generous assistance of many people who have shared their expertise with us and helped us identify distinct human service concepts, the appropriate placement of those concepts in the hierarchy and clear, concise and accurate wording for preferred terms and definitions. A variety of authoritative publications have also been used in the design of both the structure and the contents of the Taxonomy, and many publishers have given us permission to quote, sometimes extensively, from their copyrighted materials. Also utilized in our research were brochures produced by agencies providing a targeted service; a variety of other human service taxonomies, thesauri and dictionaries; and, of course, all of the very useful websites that are available on the Internet. Below are the acknowledgments for those resources. Please note that we often use multiple sources to develop definitions which may not be word-for-word quotations from any one of the listed sources. Note also that some of the websites were accessed a number of years ago and the links may no longer be viable. When a dead link is identified, we attempt to find the document at another address and add the viable link, but because we still want to acknowledge our use of the material, we have not removed any of the references. In most cases, a note is added explaining the situation.
