is also useful if your looking for information on environmental issues related
to mining

Professional's Home Page

environmental agencies. Good source of US environmental regs.
The Chemical Industry Home Page
The US chemical industry's home page. Consists of a large directory of links to
even larger directories. If you can't find it one of these directories it
probably doesn't exist, but it could take some digging due to the number and
size.

This is a homepage for community action group type organisations. However, it is
interesting and useful if you're part of a community action group, or need to
prepare material for the community or for information purposes. Also includes

resources and some technical sites which I haven't seen referenced in other
documents.
