Global Responsibilities: Ethics, Public Health, And Global Environmental Change, Dale Jamieson

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Dale Jamieson examines the relationship between

climate change and public health from an ethical perspective. He begins by

exploring the link between global environmental change and public health and

concludes that global warming poses a serious potential threat to human

health. Professor Jamieson then questions why the potential health effects of

climate change have received so much attention when the other ramifications

of climate change have been left unaddressed He argues that the combination

of several factors has brought the issue of potential health effects to the

forefront of the climate change debate. One such factor …

Why The Environment Needs National Service, Brian R. Trelstad

Special Topics, General

On July 20, 1969, when “man” landed on the Moon, the United States achieved a remarkable scientific and technological breakthrough. “One small step for . . . man; one giant leap for mankind”; Neil Armstrong’s voice crackled through Mission Control to the millions around the globe who were watching that moment, transfixed by their television sets. Everyone was watching. Everyone that is, but my mother-and the handful of other mothers around the globe who were giving birth at the same moment-to people like me, a generation of moon children.

The Struggle Over Parcel C: How Boston’S Chinatown Won A Victory In The Fight Against Institutional Expansionism And Environmental Racism, Andrew Leong

Institute for Asian American Studies Publications

For the last fifty years, Boston’s Chinatown has been a shrinking community. Squeezed in by highways on two sides, its land is being gradually consumed by two medical institutions, Tufts University Medical School and New England Medical Center. During the last few decades, these two medical institutions have swallowed up nearly one third of the land in Boston’s Chinatown. Despite this, both medical institutions want more. In its latest attempt at institutional expansion, New England Medical Center made an offer to the City of Boston in early 1993 to acquire a small plot of land in Chinatown called Parcel C, …

The Epa's Proposed Phase-Iii Expansion Of The Toxic Release Inventory (Tri) Reporting Requirements: Everything And The Kitchen Sink, Barbara Ann Clay

Pace Environmental Law Review

This Comment examines the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) proposed expansion of the Toxic Release Inventory (TRl) reporting requirements under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986. The TRI program allows the EPA to provide public information pertaining to the release of chemicals by certain industrial facilities into the environment. In October of 1996, the EPA published its intention to expand reporting requirements, including the collection of material accounting (MA) data elements. MA data tracks the lifecycle of chemicals from raw materials to end product; therefore, industry officials oppose MA reporting as unjustifiably extensive. Environmental …

Brownfields: Revitalizing Contaminated Properties, Monique A. Mayeaux

Master's Projects

The idea of infill development is not new to planners and developers. Given today’s economic climate and growing awareness to prevent sprawl, especially in places such as the San Francisco Bay Area, this concept of infill development has truly come of age. Developing on land within the urban areas where the infrastructure is already in place is considered sustainable growth.

A brownfield is the term coined to describe a plot of land that Is vacant or underutilized due to real or perceived environmental contamination. These lots are typically commercial or Industrial properties, most often located within urban and economically distressed …

The Benefits And Costs Of Regulatory Reforms For Superfund, W. Kip Viscusi, James T. Hamilton

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The current policy approach used in the Superfund program is a peculiar halfway house. EPA devotes substantial effort to identifying chemicals at a site and ascertaining their potential risks. It also assesses the costs of a range of remedies in considerable detail. However, many key elements are missing in the agency's analyses. There is no explicit consideration of the size of the population at risk. Risks to a single individual have the same weight as risks to a large exposed population. Actual and hypothetical exposures to chemicals receive equal weight so that risks to a person who, in the future, …
