Yet for environmental policy to be credible with the public and policymakers, EPA's actions must have a sound basis in science. In Science at EPA, Mark Powell offers detailed case studies that map the origins, flow, and impact of scientific information in eight EPA decisions involving the agency's major statutory programs. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States$xDecision making 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xDecision making. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xResearch 676 $a363.7/056/0973 676 $a363.70560973 700 $aPowell$b Mark R.$01689722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820475603321 996 $aScience at EPA$94064998 997 $aUNINA
