Deep Well injection of industrlai Wastes: Government Controls and Legal Constraints. William R. Walker and William E.
Cox. 176 pages. Virginia Water Resources Research Center, 225 Norris Hall, VPI & SU, Blacksburg, Va. 2406 1. 1977. $8, paper. With more stringent water quality requirements, the disposal of liquid wastes is becoming more troublesorqe. Deepwell injection as a disposal method is economically and technically feasible, but environmental and legal and institutional problems have been cited. The book discusses the ramifications of these various problems. Basic Industrial Hygiene. Richard S. Brief. 245 pages. American Industrial Hygiene Association, 66 S. Miller Rd., Akron, Ohio 44313. 1977. $10.75, paper. This is a basic training manual on the principles and procedures of industrial hygiene.

Lee, Jr., Ed. 265 pages. CRC Press, Inc., 18901 Cranwood Parkway, Cleveland, Ohio 44128. 1977. $49.95, hard cover. To assess the environmental impact of man’s agricultural activities, this monograph speaks to the chemical and physical ramifications of pesticide sources, concentration, transport, atmospheric transformations, and toxicity. Analytical procedures and techniques are documented, and available legislative controls are assessed. Toxic Substances Law and Regulations 1977. 208 pages. Government Institutes, Inc., 4733 Bethesda Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20014. 1977. $25, paper. This volume is the result of a seminar held in December 1976. The papers cover the scientific basis for current concern, and examine the. current regulations, especially the Toxic Substances Control Act. The legal ramificationsof the various laws are also discussed.
announcing the fastest total carbon analyzer ever: inject your sample and jump back! Initial cost is $1200 under that of a comparable competitive system, and the high sample processing rate means truly significant savings in man hours.
This thing will pop numbers at you so fast, you may feel like you want to get out of its way. Do it. Let somebody else feed it samples, and put your time into some less routine task. Have confidence. Our simple, reliable instrument makes a conversion directly from carbon to carbon dioxide without any complicated intermediate steps. It typically processes at the rate of one sample each minute (or better) - and it does so with consistently high precision. Want ultra-precision? It can do that too.
The instrument’s new high speed is a result of a newly developed, EPAapproved, catalyst free sample conversion method and boy, have we ever applied for a patent on it! Write for a detailed brochure and a 4-page technical bulletin, and if you’re really in a hurry give us a call:
