Making favors

Do you have questions about
water contamination but have prob-
lems getting accurate answers? Do
you have questions about health
effects of specific chemicals or
wonder what damage may be
caused by improperly disposed haz-
ardous wastes? Are you concerned
with acid rain? Mine subsidence?
Asbestos? Solid wastge? Superfund
sites? What laws have been enacted
to protect the public health, safety
and welfare in terms of environ-
mental degradation and what
recourse does the public have?
There are answers to these ques-
tions and surprisingly, timely
answers to citizen concerns about
their environment. By calling the
Foundation’s toll-free telephone
number, the public can obtain
answers to questions from environ-
mental experts. The Environmental
Information Hotline eliminates the
need for time consuming desearch
and the need to make repeated
phone calls that often result in dead
ends.
If you need some answers and
can’t get them, call the Pennsyl-
vania Environmental Research
Foundation’s Environmental Infor-
mation Hotline at 1-800-322-9214.
