Q-1:What federal laws are in place to protect this ecosystem?A:Federal law relating to the protection of the environment is administered primarily by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is represented in legal matters by the U.S. The pollution prevention act focused on industy,goverment and public attention on reducing the amount of pollution through cost effective changes in production, operation, and raw materials use. http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/laws/ppa.html .The Nuclear Waste Policy Act supports the use of deep geologic repositories for the safe storage and disposal of radioactive waste. http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/laws/nwpa.html

Q-2:What do these laws require of the people who live, work, or recreate in this ecosystem?A:The prevailing sentiment seems to be that cities represent our environmental problems at their worst. 4 Cities are, after all, worlds apart from state and national parks with their in-your-face ecosystems; they are distant, too, from edge cities, where the gobbling up of green space continues at an alarming rate. It is possible that the ecosystem management discussion has forgotten our paved-over cities because their ecosystems are largely invisible.

Some of the these threats cause highly disruptive localized impacts. Some threats are widespread effect.

Q-3:What methods of preservation are working? A:The article that i read says that dealing with problems that there are ways to optimize health protection for working populations. The author was stressing the problems reducing quality of a periodic medical examinations, of health state of working population.

Q-4:What methods of preservation are not working?A:We report the observation that the major sources of variation in cadaver renal allograft survival rates are not related to the technique of donor organ preservation but are related solely to other factors including pretransplant blood transfusion of the recipient, ant lymphocyte serum (ALS) treatment of the recipient, and high HLA match.
