Abstract
In both Europe and the United States the late sixties and early seventies witnessed numerous far-reaching and important developments in the area of environmental protection.

After this initial flurry of legislative activity and the tooling up of the administrative apparatus to implement these programs, attention shifted to a critical examination of the results achieved.
