"A review of the noise abatement programs of countries around the world 

 (except the U.S.) including laws, regulations, guidelines, criteria, research, 

 governmental organization, plans, etc., with bibliography and contact 

 addresses to facilitate further inquiry. Also includes international organiza- 

 tions involved in noise control. Both environmental and occupational noise 

 are covered. Topics: Community noise, airport, aircraft, surface transporta- 

 tion, construction noise, occupational noise, noise from factories, noise in 

 buildings. A summary finds that compared to a similar 1971 review, the U.S. 

 has 'caught up', information has increase geometrically, many nations now 

 compensate citizens for noise from airports or roads, and noise limits in 

 industry are becoming stricter." 

 Morawiecki, Wojciech. "IAEA's Approaches to Physical Protection of Nuclear 

 Materials." IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] Bulletin, v. 18, February 

 1976: 25-28. 



Briefly reviews the responsibilities of individual states, the need for inter- 

 national cooperation, and the present and future role of the International 

 Atomic Energy Agency. 

 Munn, R. E. "In Environmental Monitoring the Problem Is to Build Workable 

 Systems." Science Forum, v. 8, February 1975: 13-15. 



". . . one of the programs approved by the United Nations Conference 

 on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972) was a Global Environmental 

 Monitoring System (GEMS). There are, however, both institutional and 

 scientific difficulties in implementing the world monitoring system envisaged 

 at Stockholm." 

 Nanda, Ved P. "International Environmental Law — A New Approach." Journal 

 of International Studies, v. 4, autumn 1975: 101-112. 



Briefly reviews existing standards and precedents regarding transnational

 trust to international environmental protection, and outlines a proposed UN 

 declaration creating a new agency to oversee proposed environmental efforts 

 from an international standpoint. 

 Nathanson, Eugene. "International Management of Radioactive Wastes." 

 Environmental Affairs, v. 5, spring 1976: 363-380. 



"This article . . . briefly review[s] the problem of radioactive wastes. It 

 then discusses the degree of international cooperation now existing in 

 dealing with these wastes, and the possibility that world bodies may take 

 over full responsibility for waste management."

 Energy and Security." Department of State Bulletin, v. 76, May 30, 1977 : 550-554.

 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Energy Conservation 

 in the International Energy Agency. [Paris] 1976. 55 p. 



"Three general observations can be made based on the 1976 assessment 

 of conservation programmes: Conservation accomplishments and progress by 

 lEA nations have been substantial. Nonetheless, significant potential 

 still exists for reducing future energy demand in almost every country. The 

 prospects for a continued aggressive conservation thrust in many lEA nations 

 are uncertain."
