FILTHY AIR CAN KILL By JOHN GAULT (Whitby Editor) It is gratifying, from our point of view, to see the Town Coun- cil taking early steps to pre- vent the air we breath from be- coming polluted. Councillor George Bevan's in- troduction of an Air-Pollution - Bylaw at Monday's. Council meeting indicates a good deal - of foresight, in a town which has clung to residential-think- 7 pel rather than industrial plan- Jearn- other " 8 of omis- sion, rather than commission, They have begun procedures to eliminate air-pollution before it gets seriously started here -- before Whitby experiences the full brunt of the neo-industrial revolution. It must be rememebred too that industry is not always the chief polluter of air. It has been estimated that, in smog- famous Los Angeles more than two-thirs of the filth is the by- product of automobiles. According to Dr. Alfred P. Bernhart, Consultant Engineer, and Assistant Professor of En- gineering at the University of Toronto in a survey made in 1962, private citizens, rather than industry, are responsible for at least two-thirds of pollu- tion on a national scale. He estimates from a Chicago census that about 50 per cent of household furnaces had serious defects, serious enough [9 cause heavy smoke, and that 99 per cent of furnace operators (any furnace) did not know how to set the fire properly, or what fuel to use. He also pointed out that 60 per cent of all householders dispos- ed of at least part of their garbage by burning. About 25 per cent of automobiles required adjustment, and-or repair to combustion and exhaust sys- tems Council's halt to burning gar- bage at the municipal dump has been one positive step in the enforcement of the yet-to- be adopted bylaw. This incineration is consider- ed another major factor in poi- soning the air, as is, oddly- enough, street-brushing. We would not suggest, however, that cleaning the streets should be stopped, for the implications of this would likely be of a'much more serious and dangerous na- ture. WHY FIGHT IT? through scientific processes, average person inhales 25 to 50 pounds of air per day. He only consumes about four pounds of food, and only drinks about two- to-four pounds of water. It would be impossible and unfair to attempt to scale down the scale of air-pollution in a place like Toronto to a_ place like Whitby. The only real com- parison would be in population -- Toronto is about 100 times our size. But since it Vd nearby, Poe since Metro have in Wor agoqgintt to the cast our lifetimes, and since Whitby itself is on the verge of becoming an industrial, and pos- sible metropolitan centre, it should be of interest to discuss Toronto, The following survey was taken and compounded in 1962, sO variances may occur from the present, but these should be minimal. In an area of 240 square miles there are some 255,000 furnaces of which only 9000 are industrial, Of the remainder, 6,000 are coal, 20,000 are gas, and 220,000 burn oil. There are about 5,000 automo. biles, with about 100,000 entering and leaving the downtown area daily. POLLUTION RATE These residential and indus- trial furnaces, along with the cars pour about 2800 tons of carbon monoxide, 350 tons of sulphur oxides, 200 tons of solid particles and two tons from to- bacco smokers. (Yes, fellow - nicotine fiends, we are taking them with us:to the scalpel, the iron lung, and the boneyard.) Interestingly enough, a large percentage of the solid particles are derived from the rubber of squealing auto tires -- perhaps our anti-noise and anti-pollution bylaws can work together in prosecuting the 'cowboys'. The people of Metro, and, it would follow, the people of the future Whitby will face serious physical problems unless steps, such as those 6f our present council, are taken. Some of these problems, if not all, are listed by Dr. Bern- hart in his discussion of air- pollution. They are listed here} verbatim: Impaired health of lungs and respiratory organs; ex- cess of lung cancer in ur- ban areas; growth of chil- dren retarded because of mental depression; loss normal vitality and efficien- cy; chronic bronchitis and asthma; in certain cities, suicide rates; in smaller towns, chronic illness of un- known cause; several thou- sand deaths in. major air- pollution disasters. --Annoyance, such as eye- irritation, throat tickle, coughing and impaired driving ability. --Sky darkening and loss of sunlight, reducing disin- fection of air by sunlight, and i the possibil- ity of the spread of dis- eases. --Reduced visibility, caus- ing difficulties in traffic, re- ducing the beauty of the landscape, spoiling views and vistas, and eating up more electricity. --Soiling of surfaces, and the collection of dust and soot on buildings, laundry and clothing accounts. --Corrosion and abrasion of buildings, caused mainly by acid pollutants such as dissolved sulphur oxides. --Decrease in crop value; blossoms lose the ability to fertilize while plants and fruits grow smaller and less tart, apples and peaches de- velop cracks in their skin; oats, beans, beets, spinach, tobacco retarded in produc- tion; trees cease to grow; animals grow slower and cows produce less milk. --Industrial production faeces many uncounted losses; the paper and tex- tile industries are sensitive to dustfall and smoke, AND WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? Before any cause can be fought for on any level, the enemy must be made known, It is very well to analyze the effects of air-pollution and to analyze the air itself. But the most important study and action must be in connec- tion with the air-polluters, who, knowingly or not, are respon- sible for the existing conditions in the atmosphere. Air-pollution finds its origins in incomplete burning or poorly- conceived combustion, and in a number of industrial, processes. The main source are as fol- lows, with comment: biles -- As previously mention- ed, these account for two-thirds of the Los Angeles smog. Motor companies are, in one form or lack of sunlight, and the According to official studies aging process accelerated; BROCK WHITBY Evening Shows Stort 7 & 9 P.M.

Garbage Disposal This again has been stopped here for the present by Council. It should be pointed out that mod- ern incineration systems are prepared to minimize pollution with safeguards.

Thermal power plants Where they are improperly lo- cated, and which produce large amounts of sulphur oxides, This, at present does, not affect Whit- by or the Whitby. area. Manufacturing plants -- This area, of course, presents a major problem here, both in present and future considera- tion, Despite our small indus- trial complex now, we are still vulnerable to outside as well as internal pollution, Some of the most common polluters listed by Dr. Bernhart are within a 10-mile radius of the town. They are: steel mills; gravel, stone and other aggregate producers; paint manufacturers; automo- bile manufacturers; tire and rubber; plastic and synthetics; chemical industries; food indus- tries; meat-packirig and render- ing. Smokers -- We blow about 12 tons of pollutants daily into the Ontario air. Enough? Dirty streets, a somewhat serious problem, but not so im- portant as the first few in this group, This included the weed problem which pollutes the hay- fever and allergy-sufferers like -- acchoo!! -- me. This includes almost all of the present causes of pollution by what is classed ag the "aerosol". The aerosols include smoke, mist, dust and fumes, and are small particles of matter, solid or liquid, suspended in the at- mosphere. They reduce visibility, as well as being noxious, and diffuse light. The second form of pollu- tant is the "gas". Rather than go into gas-pollu- ion in this particular article, I shall discuss it in Monday's Times along with air-pollution measurements, and formulae for control. FALLS TO DEATH TORONTO (CP)--David Lee, 61, fell to his death trom his room on the fourth floor of the HENLEY REGATTA ST. CATHARINES (CP)--The St. Catharines Rowing Club has all but wrapped up its fourth straight Henley regatta cham- pionship. With the finals in 15 senior events scheduled today, final day of the 82nd annual regatta, St. Catharines has already col- lected 240 points for a°164-point margin over second-place Buf- falo West Sides. Toronto Argo- nauts are third with 65 points and the Detroit Boat Club fourth with 57%. Results Friday included a sur- prise win by the Toronto Argo- nauts junior eights and the first two victories by Vancouver crews. But Argo singles sculler Leif Gottfredson, who will com: pete in the Olympics in Octo- ber, lost soundly to Jeff Kre- ger, 19, of Wyandotte, Mich. St. Catharines crews won the junior 135-pound eight and ju- nior 155-pound four events to add to the host club's string of victories. Vancouver put the stern four of its eight-man Olympic crew into action to win its first race, the senior coxswain four, by a deck over Buffalo in 7:10.5. DEFEAT ARGOS The combined Vancouver-Uni- versity of British Columbia eights then splashed to a deck- length win in 1:16 over Toronto Argos' junior eights in the quar- ter-mile dash. The event did not count in the points standing. The Don Rowing Club of Port Credit, Ont., came vp with a pair of victories to move into fifth spot in standings with 55 points. Five points behind is the Hamilton Leander Boat Club. Philadelphia Vespers are sev- enth with. 33/4, Vancouver has *|25, Philadelphia Undines. 22% and Brockville 2144. Argos' time over the 2,000-me tre course in the junior eights was a slow six minutes 46.5 seconds because of a stiff head- wind, Buffalo West Sides fin- ished second and St. Catharines third.
