In fact in big cities like Metro Toronto there are about Individual sour ces of pollution which all spew their airborne waste Into the at mosphere Air pollution Is a by product or our highly industrial society But an aroused public opin ion has had a beneficial effect by making various contributors air pollution more conscious of the need to clean up the part of environment which they are fouling fn the case of industry they must have time to get the problem solved effectively In the speaker said simply cannot be stampeded into crash programs that will prove un workable and too costly be cause of its failure Research Is going on intensely in many dir ections by numerous Industries They will find adequate solu tions if given time and the pu blic continues to apply pressure Already
