Abstract | This glossary was designed to help explain the more commonly used environmental terms which appear in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publications, news releases and other agency documents available to the public. These terms were selected to give a general sense of what a term or phrase means in relatively non-technical language. The terms came from previous lists, internal glossaries, and suggestions made by agency groups. Chemicals and pesticides frequently referred to in agency publications have been included. The definitions and information supplied do not necessarily constitute the official definitions used for regulatory purposes by the EPA. Also included is a list of acronyms used by the EPA and referred to in their publications. (CW) |
