>          The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains
>          a wide range of environmental information.  Some of this
>          information tells us what chemicals and pollutants are released
>          by industrial plants.  Other information tells us about the
>          health and environmental effects of chemicals.  Still other
>          information tells us what chemicals people may be exposed to.
>
>          EPA believes that it is in everyone's interest to make this
>          information available to the public.  "Public" here includes
>          industry, state governments, community groups, environmental
>          groups, and, of course, public citizens.  Access to information
>          is the best way to ensure everyone has the opportunity to
>          evaluate and reduce environmental and health risks.
>
>          To make this information accessible, the Office of Pollution
>          Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) within EPA provides a variety of
>          information services and products.  These include call-in
>          hotlines, publications,videos, diskettes with data, CD-ROMs, and

>          information products related to chemicals.   The first edition of
>          "Chemicals in the Environment: Public Access Information"
>          provides information on a number of major OPPT products and
>          services that reflect the scope of our programs.  We hope to
