The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced that key articles in a special print edition of the ACS journal, Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T), are now available online. The articles will appear January 1, 2011, in an ES&T issue on environmental policy.
The topics range from the disorder decimating honey bee colonies to ways to capture and store carbon and mitigate greenhouse effect. Those marked 'Feature' are written in a less technical style and suitable for general readers, including students and non-scientists. Full texts of the Features can be accessed now without charge. The entire special issue will be available without charge online throughout 2011 when the world celebrates the International Year of Chemistry.
Entitled 'Environmental Policy: Past, Present, and Future', the special issue of ES&T recognises closure of a 'green' decade in which people became more aware of environmental issues and the society marked the 40th anniversaries of Earth Day, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
In addition to scientific research articles and features, the issue will include articles on policy analysis, and critical reviews on science and engineering. It will also review the history and directions of environmental policies.
