Fate of Airborne Contaminants in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Fate of Airborne Contaminants in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
Designation of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge as a Class I Air Quality Area (given the highest level of protection possible from air pollutants under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977) affords mandatory protection of the Refuge's airshed through the permit-review process for planned developments. Rainfall is the major source of water to the swamp, and potential impacts from...

Pesticides in ground water: distribution, trends, and governing factors Pesticides in ground water: distribution, trends, and governing factors
A comprehensive review of published information on the distribution and behavior of pesticides and their transformation products in ground water indicates that pesticides from every chemical class have been detected in ground waters of the United States. Many of these compounds are commonly present at low concentrations in ground water beneath agricultural land. Little information is...

The scientific bases for preservation of the Mariana crow The scientific bases for preservation of the Mariana crow
The Panel recently released the report and recommendations resulting from its work over the last six months. Although primarily focused on the Mariana Crow, the report highlights that this is a matter potentially far more serious than the preservation of the crow on Guam and Rota. The report includes major sections dealing with the need to intensify research and control activities on the...
