| Abstract: | Comments that efforts described by D. M. Hartsough and J. C. Savitsky (see record 1985-29572-001) to study technological disaster and show links between stress and health are important contributions to psychology and to management of environmental hazards. Roles for psychologists beyond the limits set by the National Environmental Policy Act and by the courts are suggested, based on a discussion of these elements. Within the framework of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (i.e., a clear line is drawn between science and politics), psychologists can contribute by providing new information about the human effects of new technology.
