 | Environment Yellow Pages strives to provide information on the very latest education, reference, health, environmental products and professional services in the environmental industry today. |
| National Cancer Institute Atlas of Cancer Mortality Rates gives cancer rate maps by type according to region or county. |
| Climate Monitoring & Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) at NOAA Up-to-date information concerning environmental atmospheric chemistry and global change. Reports of direct in situ chemical measurements. Check the NOAA CMDL/NOAH laboratory reports for chemistry and chemical composition related to global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion. |
| NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) environmental research laboratories. A spring board page with links to NOAA's environmental oriented web pages. |
| U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The front door to an extensive site. Be forewarned. You may get lost in this site. A good place to get information regarding the main concerns in environmental chemistry. Specific issues addressed include: |
| Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) deals with troposphere air pollution topics such as acid rain, smog, and ... |
| Ozone depletion addresses stratospheric ozone depletion problem and global and national response to the need to replace the chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) |
| Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water covers issues with ground water quality |
| Office of Solid Waste (OSW) deals with solid waste disposal problems or what is often known as garbage |
| Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) addresses issues with the control of and use of pesticides (herbicides and insecticides) |
| Office of Water (OW) covers all things aqueous and atmospheric chemistry topics based on wet deposition. |
| National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA not only sends up the space shuttle, but also directs satellite sensors toward earth. In their Mission to Planet Earth experiments, NASA is able to map the some components of the earth's chemistry, in particular stratospheric ozone. Some data is available on CD ROM for the asking. |
| Total Ozone Mapping Satellite (TOMS) NASA's famous remote sensing satellite responsible for much of what we know about the structure of the ozone holes. |
| National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) One of the National Institutes of Health. Responsible for environmental health issues and toxicology. |
| National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) A major player in research regarding global change. Research expertise and data include changes to the oceans and atmosphere as well as the chemical transport interface between air and sea. |
| U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Thought of as one of the big offenders, the U.S. DOE is engaged in environmental chemistry and global change studies. In the big picture, solar energy drives everything in the environment. |
| DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory environment web (ORNL) |
| Environmental Organization Web Directory As it is written. A very comprehensive and classified listing of web sites of environmental slant. |
| United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) "Provide leadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations." Addresses matters of major global environmental concern. Includes the Kyoto Protocol, rain forest fires, etc. Mostly governance, but is informative on issues not popular in the U.S. |
| World Meteorological Organization (WMO) A United Nations agency specializing in issues concerning the atmosphere. Contains a good web page of links to European environmental organizations (through the AREP link). |
| United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO) A place for global statistics and to get a sense for the global environmental health issues. |
| World Resources Institute (WRI) Apparently unbiased reporting of global statistics applicable to environmental chemistry and global change. Statistics are arranged according to continent and country. This site offers raw statistics and some interpretative comments. |
| WorldWatch Institute Those that bring you those great (i.e., recommended) "State of The World" books. |
| Scorecard This is an excellent resource for data concerning the environmental state of any community. Based on EPA data. Provided by Environmental Defense. |
| Watershed Quality A direct link to the ranking of Utah's Cache County water systems by the U.S. EPA, Other watersheds can be located through links on this page. |
| Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) Discusses issues of concern to Utah and Intermountain West residents. The air quality modeling results should be interesting to those living around Salt Lake City. |
| Professor David L. Cocke's Environmental Chemistry home page at Lamar University. This page has links to many good sites and there are lecture notes for each section. |
| The Western Michigan University Environmental Studies link page This is a comprehensive list of links to environmentally-oriented web sites, including government, industrial, and grass-roots organizations. |
| Professor H. M. (Skip) Kingston's environmental chemistry web pages at Duquesne University. Uses same text and has essentially the same emphasis. |
| Umeå University is a resource for environmental analytical chemistry information. |
| Environmental-oriented student laboratories from the Woodrow Wilson Summer Institute in Chemistry |
| Prof. Dr. Reinhard Zellner's home page. Descriptions of research into gas-phase fluorocarbon free radial reaction rate measurements at the University of Essen. |
| Analytical and Environmental Chemistry research from other Professors in Germany |
| Acid Mine Drainage description and experiments from Jim Horan at the Colorado School of Mines. |
