Abstract: FOREWORD Man cannot survive on this planet without utilizing its natural resources prudently. Every human action affects the world around us in some degree and the full effect is difficult to assess because of complex relations among living and nonliving things. Under the circumstances one can neither expect to restore the entire past nor preserve the entire present for future generations. However all can and should strive for proper balance between resource development and maintenance of pleasant surroundings. The Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the reports on environmental assessment that i t requires are aimed at insuping such a balanced approach. To be effective we must provide a system for relating large numbers of actions and environmental factors and for placing value judgments on impacts which are difficult to quantify. A t my request the Geological Survey has developed an information matrix system that is described and modeled in this Circular. It is published with the thought that it will serve as a useful guide for environmental impact reporting and as a systematic reference. Those who share with us the desire to retain or improve the quality of our environment will recognize that this report is a sincere but still preliminary effort to fill an interim need. We hope that suggestions from others will improve this framework. PREAMBLE In a recent article in " Science " discussing the Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Gillette (1971) states " The law's instructions for preparing an impact report apparently are not specific enough to insure that an agency will fully o r even usefully, examine the environmental effects of the projects i t plans. " This report contains a procedure that may assist in developing uniform environmental impact statements. The Department of the Interior and the Council on Environmental Quality will appreciate comments on the procedure here proposed. The heart of the system is a matrix which is general enough to be used as a reference checklist o r a reminder of the full range of actions and impacts on the environment that may relate to proposed actions. The marked matrix also serves as a n abstract of the text of the environmental assessment to enable the many reviewers of impact reports to determine quickly what are considered to be the significant impacts and their relative importance a s evaluated by the origina. tors of the impact report. Many exhaustive studies of …

Abstract: The current state-of-the-art of passive sampling and/or extraction methods for long-term monitoring of pollutants in different environmental compartments is discussed in this review. Passive dosimeters that have been successfully used to monitor organic and inorganic contaminants in air, water, sediments, and soil are presented. The application of new approaches to the determination of pollutants at the sampling stage is discussed. The main milestones in the development of passive techniques for sampling and/or extraction of analytes, and in biomonitors used in environmental analysis, are summarized in this review. Passive samplers and biomonitors are compared.
