These articles deal with the proceedings of a 1974 symposium on the use of wet scrubbers for the control of fine particle air pollutants. Various wet scrubbers, their engineering, performance, efficiency, and future are discussed. Tables, formulas, and models are included. (TK)

Describes a study to develop an attitudinal scale to measure the attitudes of respondents toward water resources. Found that "income" and "education of the head of the household" were possible determinants of attitudes. (SH)

Gas chromatography can be used to quantitate various gases, complex organic molecules, metals, anions, and pesticides in the lab or in the field. Important advances in gas chromatography and how they directly apply to environmental analyses plus suggestions where they will be of importance to environmental chemists are discussed. (BT)

This bibliography was prepared for a series of courses offered by the Department of Man-Environment Studies at the University of Waterloo. It contains references both to forecasting techniques and to some of the issues likely to be important over the next few decades. Each reference has been put under a broad general category. An asterisk…

The monograph presents a brief summary of the problems associated with airborne asbestos. It discusses the evidence regarding the pathogenicity of asbestos in man and animals, considers the evidence of human non-occupational exposure to asbestos, evaluates the evidence regarding health risks associated with various degrees and types of exposure,…

This project was a community environmental education effort undertaken in an urban neighborhood, aimed at enhancing the understanding residents have concerning the social and spatial structure of their neighborhood, and thereby improving their ability to act effectively for environmental change. Nearly 100 residents participated in a four-month…

The project summarized by this report involved a preliminary design of a model for estimating and predicting the quantity and composition of solid waste and a determination of its feasibility. The novelty of the prediction model is that it estimates and predicts on the basis of knowledge of materials and quantities before they become a part of the…

An attempt was made to develop a conceptual model to explain and predict why sports are differentially preferred by the various social classes. Rationale and empirical support were provided that indicated that higher class sports tend to be more costly, individual in nature, and noncontact; they also receive relatively lower exposure or publicity…

Several specific success stories are included here from institutions that have had energy conservation programs long enough to establish meaningful statistics. They illustrate why it is not unreasonable for most institutions to meet the federal objective of a 15% reduction in energy consumption, even if 1973 is used as the base year, but with some…
