This document summarizes the environmental, health, and safety (EH and S) problems associated with 27 technological areas. A problem summary for each area provides an introduction to some of the major environmental implications and a discussion of major problems identified from the Annual Environmental Analysis Report (AEAR) and the Market Oriented Program Planning Study (MOPPS). Areas of research which should receive additional emphasis, as determined by the Analysis of the FY 76 Federal Inventory, are included in summary statements.
