to give Students a broad understanding of environmental problems and to 

 train them in the area of environmental policy. 



Graduate and postdoctoral training programs in the environmental 

 and social sciences should be expanded. Additional natural resource econo- 

 mists, environmental health professionals, and risk analysts, among others, 

 will be needed in the future. Several universities have initiated undergrad- 

 uate programs in environmental studies that combine disciplines such as 

 biology, canh science, engineering, and economics.'' Programs of this kind 

 should be developed in a larger number of universities throughout the nation 

 to ensure a sufficient pool of trained individuals to meet the future person- 

 nel needs of industry and government, as well as the anticipated demand 

 for university-level researchers and professors and secondary-school teachen.
