      abstract = {Federal, state, and local governments are major polluters  of the environment. They account for more than 7% of SO2  air pollution emissions and more than 5% of all NO2 air  emissions in the United States. Public entities are more  likely than private ones to be in violation of the Clean  Water Act, and they account for two-thirds of all major  facilities in significant noncompliance with the act.  Department of Energy nuclear sites are the worst hazardous  waste problems in the nation. A lack of adequate data makes  it difficult to fully characterize the extent of pollution  caused by government agencies and to compare the  performance of the public and private sectors. There are  many reasons why government pollution is difficult to  regulate. The paper discusses political dimensions, legal  problems, resource constraints, psychological dimensions,  and public opinion. Further research is urgently needed,  and the paper delineates areas that require more  investigation.},
