Summary
When the U.S. Bureau of Mines Energy Research Centers were assigned to the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration, the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research had a consulting firm survey their facilities, experience, and staffs. A program was recommended to complement other government environmental and occupational programs related to energy production and usage, covering the division's responsibilities, and relating to new processes (such as coal conversion) being developed by the Energy Research Centers and others. The program aims at an early assessment of the environmental effects (public and occupational health effects and non-health aspects) of the various processes and timely interaction to evaluate any changes in effluent characteristics and operational variations and to make the developers aware of possible hazards. The program will incorporate identified capabilities at the Energy Research Centers into the established Division program in these areas. The recommended program is described as follows: technical approach; short, intermediate and long term problems; and management of the complex, interdisciplinary program. In appendices, the various processes are described briefly, with identification of possible toxic materials and carcinogens. (LTN)
