President Carter's 1980 declaration of a state of emergency at Love Canal, New York, recognized that residents' health had been affected by nearby chemical waste sites. This book makes recommendations on how to improve future assessments and increase confidence in predictions of barrier system performance which may be of interest to policy makers.
