EQL
The
Environmental
Quality
Laboratory
at
Caltech
is
a
center
for
research
on
large
scale
systems
problems
of
natural
resources
and
environmental
quality.
The
principal
areas
of
investigation
at
EQL
are:
1.
Air
quality
management.
2.
Water
resources
and
water
quality
management.
3.
Control
of
hazardous
substances
in
the
environment.
4.
Energy

including
regulation.
energy-environment
trade-offs.

and
s.
Resources
policy
(other
than
energy);
residuals
management.
EQL
research
includes
technical
assessments.
computer
modeling.
studies
of
environmental
control
options.
policy
analyses.
and
research
on
important
components
of
the
large
scale
systems.
Field
work
is
also
undertaken
at
EQL.
some
in
collaboration
with
other
organizations,
to
provide
critical
data
needed
for
evaluation
of
systems
concepts
and
models.
EQL's
objectives
are
as
follows:
1.
To
do
systema
tic
-studie-s
.of
environmental
-and
~es<>urces
problems.
The
results
of
these
studies.
including
the
clarification
of
policy
alternatives.
are
communicated
to
decision-makers
in
government
and
industry.
to
the
research
community.
and
to
the
public.
As
an
organization.
EQL
-1-
refrains
from
advocating
particular
policies,
but
seeks
to
point
out
the
implica
tions
of
the
various
policy
alternatives.
2.
To
contribute
~the
edu(lation
-and
training
o-f
people
,in
.these
are-as
through
involvement
of
pre-doctoral
students,
post-doctoral
fellows,
and
visiting
faculty
members
in
EQL
activities.
This
educational
effort
is
just
as
important
as
the
results
of
the
studies
themselves,
and
should
make
lasting
contributions
to
the
nation's
ability
to
solve
its
environmental
and
resources
problems.
The
work
at
EQL
goes
beyond
the
usual
academic
research
in
that
it
tries
to
organize
and
develop
the
knowledge
necessary
to
clarify
society's
alternatives
by
integrating
relevant
disciplines.
EQL
works
on
solving
problems
of
specific
localities
when
there
is
a
strong
element
of
public
interest
or
educational
value,
or
the
concepts
and
results
are
applicable
to
other
places.
The
research
of
EQL
is
done
under
the
supervision
of
faculty
members
in
Environmental
Engineering
Science,
Chemical
Engineering,
and
Social
Science.
This
research
report
covers
the
period
from
October
1983
through
September
1985.
