HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- When Satya R. Chatterjee realized there was a vast ocean between the resources for environmental/safety information and the public, he decided he must close the gap. His bridge between the public and these varied agencies comes in the form of his new book, Pocketbook of Environment/Safety Compliance: Abbreviations, Acronyms, Elements of Calculation, Regulations and Websites (now available through 1stBooks).
"The purpose of this pocketbook is to introduce the readers with firsthand information sources about environment/safety and then connect them with EPA, OSHA, pollution concerns, toxic wastes and other environmental issues," Chatterjee says.
His book, Pocketbook of Environmental/Safety Compliance, is a straightforward guide to resources and a better understanding of the jargon, issues and problems in the field of environmental/safety regulations. No matter the background or level of skill, Chatterjee's book informs readers about regulations and standards as well as compliance requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other agencies related to air, land, waste and water.
The Pocketbook of Environmental/Safety Compliance is divided into specific chapters and includes elements of calculation with useful conversions, lists of environmental resource organizations and important Web sites, addresses of EPA offices, phone numbers, important standards and approval agencies. Those with special interests in the environment, who require guidelines for analysis, audits and permits or who merely want to become more aware will find Pocketbook of Environmental/Safety Compliance to be an indispensable tool.
After four decades in the petrochemical, petroleum, oil, gas, engineering and construction industries, Chatterjee retired. He is now an independent consultant for environmental and management services and is an author and speaker on such diverse topics as ecology, religion, philosophy, law and governance.
