Designing equipment that is safer, more reliable and more efficient. Thus, we urgently need to reduce these limits" urges Thomas Münzel. checklists given in Chapter 3.0 and to ask agency personnel to consider the pollution prevention/environmental impact reduction techniques identified in these checklists when undertaking specific mitigation strategies based on the more general comments provided during the NEPA review process. 49-613-117-7251, http://https://www.unimedizin-mainz.de/index.php?i, Copyright © 2020 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), BIOMEDICAL/ENVIRONMENTAL/CHEMICAL ENGINEERING.
