Originally published in 1991, this study uses the 1983 outbreak of
Giardiasis in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania as a case study to
explore the social costs of waterborne illnesses to a community.
With over 6,000 people affected in that particular case, Economics
and Episodic Disease emphasises the importance of Federal and State
drinking water standards to protect the population from
contamination whilst also commenting how regulations can be applied
to other areas within public health as well as how to appraise the
damage caused to surface water by the release of hazardous
substances. This title will be of interest to students of
Environmental Studies.
Rules in the Making represents an attempt to revolutionize ways of
thinking about regulatory decision-making. The book tries to show
that statistical methodologies can be used to determine what
factors are important in the establishment of government regulation
by developing a mathematical model of the regulatory process and
agency behavior. The model is then tested using a case study of the
Environmental Protection Agency's setting of effluent discharge
standards under the Clean Water Act. Originally published in 1986
