                  <text>&lt;p style="margin-top: -1em; line-height: 1.2em;"&gt;The Alvin L. Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

DIBENZO-P-DIOXINS: PUBLIC CONCERN AND NATIONAL SCIENCE POLICY

Alvin L. Young
Office of Science and Technology Policy
Executive Office of the President
Washington, D.C. 20506
The environmental contaminants polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and
especially the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), have received
extensive public attention for more than 12 years. Dioxins are contaminants
formed during the synthesis of chlorophenols and during low temperature combustion
of wastes containing chlorinated precursors. Dioxins are at the center of
controversies over (1) the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam and the health
of veterans, (2) the use of trichloro-and pentachlorophenolic-derived
products and (3) the development of technology for the incineration of
municipal and industrial wastes.
In response to the concerns over dioxins, and especially TCDD, mobilizations
of resources have occurred within the private sector, academic community and
state and federal governments. Many of the early efforts dealt with identifying
sources of the contamination and elucidating the toxicology. More recently,
the focus has been on understanding the chemistry, environmental fate and
the mechanisms of toxic action of the dioxins. Industry scientists have
been primarily responsible for conducting health studies of industrial
populations exposed to TCDD and other dioxins as well as sponsoring many of
the early toxicologic studies. The response of the Federal government has
been through the coordination and funding of much of the basic long-term
research including an impressive commitment to evaluating the human risk
of exposure to TCDD. Indeed, this latter program encompasses scientific
and financial resources from ten Federal agencies and includes White House
oversight of 15 ongoing major human studies including five health surveillance
studies and ten epidprniologic studies.
The science policy implications of the massive research and remedial
programs underway on dioxin are disturbing. To date, the Federal government
has committed hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of man-years
to confirm that actual human exposure to dioxins is minimal and occurs
primarily in "hot spots," and that the number of individuals exposed is very
low. Moreover, the data collected to date are not able to associate
chemical exposure to carcinogenesis, teratogenesis, or mutagenesis in
man, yet these data neither impact proposed actions on clean-up (e.g.
Times Beach) nor impedes Congressional action to legislate presumptive
compensation. Finally, data obtained from combustion studies show that
the production of dioxin is minimal and easily controlled with present
technology, yet the fear of dioxin has paralyzed incineration technology
and its application. The need for realistic risk assessments and the
assignment of priorities for the allocation of resources are indicated.

Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

�INFORMAZIONI GENERALI

OBIETTIVI DEL CONVEGNO

SEDE: II convegno avra luogo presso FUnione Industriale di Torino, Via Fanti 17, Torino.

Ogni attivita umana produttiva non esiste senza alcun
rischio. Bisogna pero convivere con soglie di rischio
accettabili per le popolazioni, per gli addetti e per le
imprese. E necessario quindi a questo proposito ottimizzare le limitate risorse disponibili a fronte degli obiettivi
desiderati in compatibility con la sicurezza. Per queste
ragioni la gestione dei rischi in chiave di protezione civile
e industriale risulta essere una precisa scelta economica
ed operativa che richiede la continua pianificazione delle
priorita in base ai vincoli imposti dalla strategia scelta; e
questo in fase di progettazione, produzione e manutenzione di un sistema.

classificazione degli eventi di vulnerability dei sistemi
sulla base dei dati e dei casi rilevati a livello nazionale ed
internazionale ed inoltre su un'analisi accurata degli
scenari operativi reali con particolare riguardo ai fattori
critici di successo per gestioni di emergenza attualmente
in corso (soprattutto in USA, in Europa ed in Italia).

Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
