Each summary contains the following:

• The name of the stressor.
• The rankings given by each TWG that analyzed the stressor (see symbol key below).
• A definition of the stressor and description of the kind of impacts it can cause in general.
• A "What's at risk?" section outlining the areas of populations (human and ecological) in the
• state that are potentially threatened by negative impacts of the stressor.
• One or more sections entitled "what are the [human health, ecological, and/or socioeconomic] impacts in New Jersey?" summarizing the type and magnitude of these impact types that seem most likely in the state.
• A "What's being done?" section that describes the degree to which regulations or other environmental management strategies are currently being used to reduce the stressor's impacts.
