Acknowledgement
The author would like to acknowledge the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for making available numerous documents describing how the Risk Management Program list of hazardous substances was elaborated in 1992-1994.
The author is grateful to EPA for their support. Without their help this document would not have had the same depth.
