makers' needs and concerns, and interactive with the UN's Global Environ- 

 mental Monitoring System; and the environmental consequences of in- 

 creased U.S. dependence on coal should receive greater attention so that 

 optimal choices between control technology, tall stacks, and synthetic fuels 

 may be achieved with conservation of total air resources.

Outlines the pollution control policies of West Germany, Japan, Belgium, 

 Sweden, Great Britain, Italy, France, Canada, and the United States. Com- 

 ments on how these pollution laws could impair the competitiveness of U.S. 

 industry.

 Lutz, Robert E., II. "The Laws of Environmental Management: A Comparative 

 Study." American Journal of Comparative Law, v. 24, summer 1976: 447-520. 

 Article seeks "to uncover the general policies and approaches of national 

 environmental laws. It is a comparative study of the environmental legisla- 

 tion of sixteen countries [including most of the major developed countries], 

 some with significantly different geographic, economic, social and political 

 characteristics. It focuses primarily on the various institutional, adminis- 

 trative, judicial and citizen participation approaches for environmental 

 management used in these countries. The study emphasizes the areas of 

 commonality in these various approaches to environmental problems."

 Environmental Programs Committee. Early Action on the Global Environmental 

 Monitoring System. Washington, D.C., 1976. 26 p. 



Recommendation on tasks for the U.N. Environmental Programme Global 

 Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS). In general, early actions by 

 or for GEMS purposes should meet two criteria: "(1) they are to produce prac- 

 tical information on contemporary problems, such as desertification and 

 contamination of food resources, (2) the resulting data are to be useful at 

 the same time in advancing the basic scientific understanding of the world 

 environmental system and its dynamics."

 A Symposium. Dobbs, Ferry, N.Y., Oceana Publications, 1976. 193 p. 



Reviews "the success (or otherwise) of some significant existing multi- 

 lateral and national legislation" and focuses "attention on some of the most 

 urgent problems which relate to the coordination of environmental action, 

 both national and international."

"A scientific theory published in mid-1974 has linked a class of man-made 

 chemical compounds known as 'fluorocarbons' to possible depletion of the 

 ozone layer of the earth's stratosphere." "This report summarizes the state- 

 of-knowledge with respect to the origin and significance of the potential 

 problem, and describes worldwide fluorocarbon production, use, release to the 

 atmosphere, and possibilities for substitutions."

 frontier Polhdion. Paris, 1976. 218 p. 



"This publication . . . serve[s] as a useful 'box of tools' for understanding 

 and solving transfrontier pollution problems. The main questions dealt with 

 are: General principles (e.g. the polluter-pays principle (PPP) and the non- 

 discrimination principle), instruments (including an original application of 

 reciprocal taxation to transfrontier pollution), and institutions."

 Pollution Charges. Paris, 1976. 7 p. 



"The conclusions which follow are based on the studies in depth carried 

 out mainly for the Group of Economic Experts with the aid of various case 

 studies describing various Member countries' practical experience of pollution 

 charges used in the different fields of environmental protection."
