- Health Problems from Pollution from A to Z (NIEHS)
- Nuclear Energy (Uranium Institute)
Provides information about uranium, carbon emissions, and global warming. Does not give full coverage to problems related to temporary (40 year) storage of unreprocessed radioactive materials, such as failure of containers, earthquakes, theft, transport, contamination of underground water supplies or consequences from heating rivers used for cooling the materials.
- Nuclear Fuel Compared to Other Fuels (Uranium Information Centre)
Argues for the continuing use of nuclear energy. Provides information about how radioactive waste can be managed and compares nuclear pollution to other fuel sources. Does not give full coverage to problems related to temporary (40 year) storage of unreprocessed radioactive materials, such as failure of containers, earthquakes, theft, transport, contamination of underground water supplies or consequences from heating rivers used for cooling the materials.
- Ozone Depletion (Nature - Ball)
Methyl chloride, which depletes ozone, is building up faster than hydroxl free radicals in the air can neutralize it. This paper explores the causes. 1-00
- Pollution Scorecard (Environmental Defense Fund)
Provides information about pollution in your community. Reports who is polluting, how to contact them, how bad the pollution is, how your community rates compared to others in your area, identifies the toxins involved and provides other useful information to fight pollution.
- Radioisotopes and Nuclear Energy (Uranium Information Centre)
Provides information about how radioisotopes can help with sterilization, insect control, fertilization, therapy, diagnosis, measurement, and other uses.
- Toxic Waste - Military Contacts (U.S. Department of Defense)
Provides the contacts for information about toxic wastes dumped by the U.S. Department of Defense. 11-99
- Toxic Waste Released by the Military (U.S. Department of Defense)
Provides information on the amounts and types of toxic wastes released by the U.S. Department of Defense between 1994-1997. Compares performance of the Defense Department with private industry. 11-99

- Pollution and Humans (Kids' Almanac)
Provides a timeline of events related to protecting the environment from pesticides, poisons, and other pollutants.
- Water Supply for the Earth (Kids' Almanac)
Provides information on where water on earth is located and how much is fresh water versus salt water.
Projects
- Environmental Issues and Links (US News)
Provides issues and resources to support a clean environment.
- Nuclear Fuel and Global Warming (Uranium Institute)
Provides information about uranium, carbon emissions, and global warming. Provides arguments for the continuing use of nuclear energy. Does not give full coverage to problems related to temporary (40 year) storage of unreprocessed radioactive materials, such as failure of containers, earthquakes, theft, transport, contamination of underground water supplies or consequences from heating rivers used for cooling the materials.
- Pollution Control (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism)
Provides volunteer programs to clean up Oregon.
Purchase Resources
