EHS Quarterly Review

EHS Quarterly Review provides an overview of key federal and state environmental and safety topics in one place. Readers can rely on Bloomberg BNA's unbiased and in-depth interpretation of current events to help prepare and budget for upcoming compliance requirements in a timely manner.

 

Four times a year, Bloomberg BNA's expert editorial staff highlights the most important events of the past three months that affect federal and state air, safety, waste, and water policies and regulations. In addition, they give their perspective on new developments that are likely to occur in the months ahead.

 

Each of the reviews begins with a "Focus On" section that provides insight into a topic of particular importance that occurred during the time period covered. A discussion of other significant developments affecting air, safety, waste, or water follows the "Focus On" section. Also provided are citations to additional information on the covered topics published in Bloomberg BNA's news services.
