Worker Education in Germany, 1970

With the end of World War II and the advent of a variety of economic recovery programs, it became apparent to scholars and practitioners alike that the quality of the labor force, both here and abroad, was a vital, although often overlooked, factor in industrial recovery and growth. As a result of this awareness, there has been a development of interest and concern in the area of comparative education.

Health consultation : Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul rail yard targeted brownields assessment, Spring Valley Township, Perry, Dallas County, Iowa (2007)

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has requested the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Hazardous Waste Site Health Assessment Program evaluate future health impacts of exposures at the formerly utilized Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul Rail Yard located on the west side of Perry, Iowa. This site has undergone a Targeted Brownfields Assessment conducted by the Contaminated Sites Section of the IDNR. This health consultation assesses potential health risks to people from future exposure to soil and surface water within the property boundary, and any health impacts resulting from contaminated groundwater beneath the site property from an evaluation of the data collected during the Targeted Brownfields Assessment. The information in this health consultation was current at the time of writing. Data that emerges later could alter this document’s conclusions and recommendations.
