                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
                CHAPTER 57--ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION STUDY
 
Sec. 4391. Congressional statement of findings

    The Congress finds that there is general agreement that air, water, 
and other common environmental pollution may be hazardous to the health 
of individuals resident in the United States, but that despite the 
existence of various research papers and other technical reports on the 
health hazards of such pollution, there is no authoritative source of 
information about (1) the nature and gravity of these hazards, (2) the 
availability of medical and other assistance to persons affected by such 
pollution, especially when such pollution reaches emergency levels, and 
(3) the measures, other than those relating solely to abatement of the 
pollution, that may be taken to avoid or reduce the effects of such 
pollution on the health of individuals.
