INTRODUCTION
On December 2, 1970, the President
created the Environmental Protection
Agency, naming William Doyle
Ruckelshaus, as Administrator.
Including air pollution, water pollu-
tion, solid wastes, radiation protec-
tion, and pesticides, the new Agency
possesses a greatly strengthened ability
and unique coherence in the struggle
for improvement and control of the
quality of man's environment.
In the-same month, the President
signed the Clean Air Act of 1970. The
impact of this action on both the pub-
lic and the private sectors of the coun-
try will be far-reaching. The Act cre-
ates a demand for more and better
trained practitioners in the field of air
pollution control. It is to this intensi-
fied demand that the Office of Man-
power Development of the Office of
Air Programs, addresses itself.
During Fiscal Year 1970, 2,410
trainees completed courses conducted
by the Institute for Air Pollution
Training; during Fiscal Year 1971,
2,700 trainees completed Institute
courses.
Through university training pro-
grams administered by the Extramural
Programs Branch of the Office of Man-
power Development, the following
were trained during Fiscal Year 1970:
72 Technician
70 Bachelor of Science
155 Master of Science
100 Doctor of Philosophy
8 Post Doctoral
During Fiscal Year 1971:
250 Technician
100 Bachelor of Science
192 Master of Science
60 Doctor of Philosophy
8 Post Doctoral
The Office of Air Programs has also
supported the following number of
individual fellows to complete specif ic
research projects:
Fiscal Year 1970 65
Fiscal Year 1971 39
The first environmental course de-
signed and developed in the computer
-assisted instructional mode, "Intro-
duction to Air Pollution Control," was
completed, demonstrated, and intro-
duced in a university curriculum. Ap-
plication will be greatly expanded
during Fiscal 1972. Extensive use of
this course is anticipated in colleges
and universities. This course will also
be used for orientation of new profes-
sional and semiprofessional employees
in air pollution control agencies and
the Office of Air Programs.
In conjunction with the University
of Southern California, and the Uni-
versity of Michigan, the Office of Man-
power Development has developed a
computer-based simulation exercise
identified as APEX (Air Pollution Ex-
ercise). This program establishes a
dynamic atmosphere for trainees to
participate in the operation of a "real
world" simulation involving a com-
munity which contains urban as well
as rural problems and industrial activi-
ties. Emphasis is placed upon air pollu-
tion control needs. During the coming
year, APEX will be scheduled at a
number of universities across the coun-
try as a credit course at the graduate
level.
Additionally, preparations are un-
derway to introduce APEX as a grad-
uate course at OAP's new Technical
Center in the fall of 1971 for students
from the Triangle Universities Consor-
tium. In addition to its use at the Uni-
versity of Southern California, APEX
is now being conducted as a graduate
course at the University of Illinois at
Urbana and at Harvard University as
part of an Environmental Education
program for both graduate and under-
graduate studies.
University consortia on air pollu-
tion have been formally established in
the New England area, the Pacific
Southwest area, and the Research Tri-
angle area of North Carolina. These
consortia provide a means to facilitate
and coordinate cooperative action
among and by universities in the battle
to achieve clean air. A consortium pro-
vides an opportunity for a university
in the offering of both a broader and
-------
an improved program spectrum, with-
out overreaching its resources, in an at-
tempt to cover the diverse and com-
plex air pollution control field. Addi-
tionally, a consortium will encourage
and offer assistance to governors, legis-
lators, and councilmen through special
educational and advisory arrange-
ments. Stronger representation of fac-
ulty on air pollution control boards is
a strong objective. Efforts are cur-
rently underway to establish consortia
in a few other sections of the nation.
The Institute for Air Pollution
Training, headquartered at Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina; designs,
develops and conducts a variety of
training courses, seminars, and work-
shops. The Institute's primary objec-
tive is to develop and improve the
knowledge and skills of personnel em-
ployed in air pollution control activi-
ties. To implement the Environmental
Protection Agency's decentralization
policy-designed primarily to bring ex-
pertise to local problem areas—the In-
stitute for Air Pollution Training has
expanded its course offerings to the
following regional training locations:
Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts;
Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio;
Denver, Colorado; Kansas City, Mis-
souri; New York, New York; San Fran-
cisco, California and Seattle, Washing-
ton areas.
This year the Institute for Air Pol-
lution Training presents a new three-
tier plan for training air pollution con-
trol personnel:
1st Tier — Orientation Courses
These are packaged individualized
instructional courses, to be supplied to
State and local agencies, and will en-
able a new employee to begin his train-
ing immediately after reporting on the
job. Where feasible the Computer-
Assisted Instructional Course will also
be used for this purpose.
2nd Tier — Basic Course
"Principles and Practice of Air Pol-
lution Control," is the basic training
course. This 3 — Week course provides
a broad understanding of air pollution
control, in addition to the develop-
ment and application of selected skills..
It is scheduled to run almost contin-
uously at the new Office of Air Pro-
grams Technical Center in the Re-
search Triangle Park, North Carolina.
This basic course—or its equivalent in
graduate training or air pollution con-
trol experience—is the prerequisite for
entry into the advanced courses.
3rd Tier — Advanced Courses
A number of advanced courses are
conducted by the Institute for Air Pol-
lution Training. These highly special-
ized courses range from one to several
weeks in duration. These courses, usu-
ally at the graduate level, provide in-
tensive training in the current elements
and methodology of air pollution con-
trol. Several of the courses provide
opportunities for extensive laboratory
practice.

The Environmental Protection Agency's new Technical Center at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
-------
THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY'S NEW
TECHNICAL CENTER
:
The Office of Air Programs (GAP) is one part of the
newly formed Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) ... the operating responsibility for the Federal
Program in the prevention and control of air pollu-
tion is vested with OAP.
The headquarters for OAP,
located in a Washington, D.C. suburb, comprises a
staff dedicated to the management and administra-
tion of operational programs.
Ten regional offices,
located throughout the country, provide technical as-
sistance in the establishment of air quality standards.
The mobile source activities,
of OAP, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Ypsi-
lanti, Michigan, comprise a professional staff with re-
sponsibility for the development of new technology
for increased control of pollution from spark-ignited
internal combustion vehicles and a development pro-
gram of advanced power systems.
The Technical Center,
to be completely operational in late 1971, will house
a varied discipline-oriented staff—chemists, chemical
engineers, meteorologists, sanitary engineers, biomed-
ical personnel, technicians, computer specialists. . . .
and epidemiologists.
-------
The Technical Center,
located in the Research Triangle Park, North Caro-
lina, encompasses a staff of eight hundred whose tal-
ents are directed toward research and development
activities to provide the technology to regulate or pre-
vent emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.
Encompassing fifty acres and 300,000 square feet
of working area, the Technical Center is located with-
in close proximity of other research oriented govern-
ment and industrial organisations . . . Functioning as
a self contained facility, the "Center" represents an
investment of 25-million dollars, nearly one-quarter
of which is directed toward specialized equipment
and innovative devices to meet the objectives of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Research activities
relating to health effects will include biologic, physio-
logic, and toxicological studies as well as laboratory
animal studies.
Irradiation chambers designed to simulate sunlight
and produce a photochemical reaction in auto ex-
haust gas will be employed; spark-ignited and diesel
engines coupled to a dynamometer unit designed to
produce exhaust according to established driving pat-
terns constitute the integrated equipment. . . . emis-
sions proportionally diluted with clean conditioned
air under regulated pressure will be fed to exposure
chambers designed to house a variety of animal
species for extended exposure periods under con-
trolled conditions.
Ancillary equipment
includes tissue culture preparation areas, spectropho-
tometers for identification of organic and inorganic
contaminants, liquid chromatographs for detection
and measurement of higher molecular hydrocar-
bons. . . . particle counters, digital integrators, and gas
chromatographa . . .
Greenhouse Facility
will have filtered air to remove gaseous and particu-
late pollutants. Temperature controls of 70° F can be
maintained. Plant materials grown in these green-
houses will be exposed under greenhouse, field-plot,
and laboratory conditions. There will be two green-
houses, each having four compartments. In each
compartment, environmental parameters can be con-
trolled independently.
-------
A Field research site
of approximately twenty acres adjacent to the Tech-
nical Center will provide another valuable laboratory
for agricultural research efforts. Included on this farm
site will be ten acres of land to be used for extensive
research plot studies and a farm equipment building
to house the necessary support facilities. The Division
of Meteorology will monitor all meteorological para-
meters in support of the agricultural research. To aid
in this support there will be a 300 foot meteorologi-
cal tower. The Soil Conservation Service has assumed
a major role in the land development of this site. This
has involved an extensive land smoothing and ter-
racing program.
Research activities in the areas of effects of air
pollutants on vegetation, plants, animals, livestock,
wildlife, materials, paints, structures, metals, plastics,
fabrics and dyes will be conducted on a laboratory
scale.
10
Two systems of plant growth chambers will be used:
Controlled Environment System
Twenty-five chambers will be used for plant growth,
in a pollution-free atmosphere and in a known repro-
ducible environment. In addition, there will be 10
chambers with separate air supplies in which pollu-
tant exposure can be controlled.
Field Environment System
Twenty-five plant growth chambers, through which
ambient air is circulated, will be used with crops
planted in the field. In some cases the ambient air
pollutants are filtered out prior to the air entering the
chambers and in others, pollutants are added in
known amounts. Also there are cylindrical chambers,
open at the top. The environmental conditions in
these chambers follow the real world even more close-
ly than the square chamber in that insects, rain, sun-
light, etc., can enter the chambers directly. In these
chambers, air is circulated and ambient level pollutant
studies can be done or various pollutants can be
added as desired.
Exploratory research
to evaluate the feasibility of new control pro-
cesses and concepts; conduct applied research
related to specific processes under develop-
ment. .. . continual research efforts of sampling
methods and analytical procedures.
-------
An IBM System 360 Model 50 is installed in the new Technical
Center. Air quality emission data, meteorological and effects data
relating to areas nationwide will constitute the national air pollution
data base accessible from this central facility. Abstracts of the tech-
nical literature for the past several years are indexed on this equip-
ment.
The Office of Manpower Development will occupy 28,000 square
feet of space in the new Technical Center. Approximately 33 per-
cent of this space is devoted to laboratories that will be used by
students attending courses at the Institute for Air Pollution Training.
Other features include an auditorium designed to accommodate 150
to 200 people, and three classrooms with a capacity of 50 students
each. The classrooms contain the capability for both a central mo-
tion picture and television projection. A self-instructional laboratory
equipped with learning carrels for utilization of computer-assisted
program material and for individual learning packages is also avail-
able to the students. An additional feature is a 3800 square foot
television and motion picture studio and sound stage designed for
the production of learning materials; the studio is supported by fully
equipped film editing and processing facilities.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INSTITUTE FOR AIR POLLUTION TRAINING
Eligibility Requirements
An acceptance committee within the Of-
fice of Manpower Development evaluates
course applications forwarded to the In-
stitute for Air Pollution Training and no-
tifies applicants whether they meet the
qualification requirements for the course
or courses selected. An important consid-
eration in evaluating eligibility is the ap-
plicant's background, experience in air
pollution control, and potential for career
development. The broad spectrum of
courses offered by the Institute ranges
from basic training designed for personnel
with little or no experience to highly
specialized learning modes designed to
meet the needs of more sophisticated air
pollution control personnel. Many courses
require completion of written tests and/
or study assignments by the applicant
prior to course attendance.
-------
Registration
No tuition or registration fee is charged
for the courses presented by the Institute.
Since the size of classes is limited, appli-
cations should be forwarded as early as
possible. Trainees are expected to provide
for their own housing, meals, and trans-
portation while attending courses. To
provide training service to a maximum
number of organizations the number of
applicants from a single agency for any
one course necessarily may be limited. To
apply for admission to the courses pre-
sented by the Institute complete one of
the application blanks inserted in this bul-
letin on pp. 100-108. A separate applica-
tion form is required for each course.
Certificates
Certificates will be awarded to those stu-
dents who satisfactorily complete all
course assignments and who attend all
scheduled presentations (including where
applicable: evening, Friday afternoon and
Saturday sessions).
Training Faculty
A full-time staff of specialists, as well as a
number of adjunct faculty members,
plan, develop, and conduct the courses.
Lecturers and consultants who can con-
tribute significantly from their specific
knowledge and experience are drawn
from Office of Air Programs personnel,
other Federal, state and local agencies,
universities, and industry.
Training Objectives
The Office of Manpower Development
and the Institute for Air Pollution Train-
ing offer a variety of short-term technical
courses in the field of air pollution con-
trol for scientists, engineers and other
professional personnel assigned responsi-
bility in this area of environmental con-
cern. Effective means for detailed consid-
eration and appraisal of the newest devel-
opments in specific areas are provided,
together with an opportunity for practice
in the use and application of current
control techniques. Visual aids, closed-
circuit television, laboratory demonstra-
tions, problem sessions and panel discus-
sions are programmed into course presen-
tations. Laboratory and field practice
under the guidance of experts is included
in the course agenda where applicable.
Active participation by each trainee is
mandatory.
Technical Courses
Highly specialized, technical courses of
from one to several weeks duration are
conducted in the fully equipped class-
rooms of the Institute for Air Pollution
Training, and at a number of locations
throughout the country. Technical
courses, usually at the postgraduate level,
provide intensive training in the basic ele-
ments and methodology of air pollution
control plus an opportunity for labora-
tory practice. In addition, several broad-
coverage courses are offered for those in
technical administrative positions who
wish to acquire an overall perspective in
specific scientific areas. Agenda for all
courses are available upon request in ad-
vance of course presentations.
Technical Seminars
The Office of Manpower Development
and the staff of the Institute for Air Pol-
lution Training upon request will, counsel
and participate in planning the presenta-
tion of technical seminars and workshops
designed to meet specific needs. Sympo-
sia which provide a forum for the ex-
change of ideas and information, are also
supported. These meetings bring together
experts from throughout the United
States and the world. Announcement of
many such seminars, workshops, and
symposia is made by publication in scien-
tific journals. Attendance at others is re-
stricted to an individually invited audi-
ence.

ORIENTATION
Packaged Orientation Course
To meet diverse training needs, the Office of Air Pro-
grams of the Environmental Protection Agency has
developed a tiered system of instructional programs.
The first tier consists of orientation courses. One
of these courses, 422—A, consists of a series of units
(multiple learning packages) developed specifically
for people with no previous training in air pollution
control. Course content is similar to that included in
the superseded course 422.
This new course, similar to others in the orienta-
tion series, is developed in an individualized instruc-
tion mode and includes cassette-taped lectures with
student workbooks and accompanying visuals.
The course is designed to function "off-the-shelf"
for use by all air pollution control agencies. New em-
ployees no longer need wait for an opening in an
assembled course. Training is available to them the
first day on the job, at the job.
22
CAI Course
(Computer-Assisted Instruction)
This course is a computer-assisted instructional pack-
age available for use by agencies that possess or have
access to computer terminals. The following segments
make up the course: introduction, legal aspects, mete-
orology, sources, effects, pollutants, introduction to
control, and technology of control.
Both 422-A and 422-B will provide a broad in-
troduction to air pollution control. They are comple-
mentary to one another in content. As such, agencies
with computer terminals will be able to use both
courses; those without terminals will still have in-
house orientation training capability.
Specialized Subjects
(Multiple learning packages)
Additional subject areas are also available upon re-
quest in the same packaged format as 422-A.
These packages provide orientation in special areas
of air pollution control not generally covered in the
initial orientation course 422-A and 422-B. Special
areas covered include:
Visible emissions
Air pollution effects on vegetation
Air pollution effects
on man's respiratory system
Additional packages will be added on a continuing
basis.
The broad content of the orientation courses
makes them particularly useful for all new local, State
and Federal air pollution control agency employees.
Additionally, schools can use the materials in their
rapidly growing environmental education programs,
and industry can use the materials to introduce key
employees to the needs and background problems
encountered in the study of air pollution control.

Computer-Assisted
Instruction
The Office of Air Programs of the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency has developed and is continuing to
develop computer-assisted courses. Such courses pro-
vide ready opportunity for new, inexperienced em-
ployees of air pollution control agencies at all levels
to familiarize themselves with control concepts, term-
inology and activities. It is hoped that these same
courses will help fill an immediate and rapidly ex-
panding need in educational institutions for good en-
vironmental protection educational materials.
23
-------
Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) is a learner
mode that overcomes many of the traditional diffi-
culties associated with the classroom lecture mode of
instruction - shortage of trained staff, scheduling,
inconsistent quality. A CAI course, programmed and
electronically stored in computer centers, can reach
an infinite number of people in technical schools, uni-
versities, industry, and government wherever com-
puter terminals are located. It may betaken from any
number of terminals simultaneously; the only limita-
tion is the number of terminals available.
Despite the mass educational potential of CAI,
each course is designed in a tutorial mode to utilize
dialogue and drill practice techniques commonly
associated only with small classes and a teacher. To
take a course, the student merely dials a telephone
number to connect his terminal to the computer cen-
ter servicing his institution. He can begin at any time;
and, if he wants to break away during the course, the
computer will "keep his place" for an indefinite
period of time until he is ready to continue.
CAI will play a significant role in OAP's manpower
training program. As more state and local air pollu-
tion control agencies install computer terminals,
fewer employees will be forced to leave their job loca-
tions to take certain needed OAP training courses.
Universities, most of which have computer facilities,
will easily be able to supplement their curricula with
CAI training courses provided by the Office of Air
Programs.
The first course (an orientation course) developed
in the CAI mode, Introduction to Air Pollution is
operative.
The course begins with a brief introduction, in-
tended primarily to familiarize the student with the
computer format. Having completed this, the student
continues with one of the following topics: legal as-
pects, meteorology, sources, effects, pollutants, intro-
duction to control, and technology of control. Be-
cause each topic is an independent unit, the student
may take as many as he needs in whatever sequence
he prefers. Each of the topics is described on these
pages.
Introduction
The air pollution problem is placed in historical per-
spective in this introductory section. The student
learns about the various types of air pollution and the
effects of pollution on man, materials, and vegeta-
tion. Several disasters attributed to air pollution
during this century and some of the controversial
questions pertaining to air pollution control are
covered. Upon completion of this section the student
will be able to:
Give examples of natural and man-made pollu-
tants. Describe (citing cause/effect relationships)
the following disasters: Me use Valley, Belgium;
Donora, Pennsylvania; Pcva Rica, Mexico: Lon-
don, and New York City. Discuss opposing view-
points on such questions as tolerable levels of pol-
lution, delegation of responsibility to appropriate
levels of government, and planning and imple-
menting effective control strategies.
Pollutants
After learning the composition of "clean" air, the
student learns the terms used for describing atm
spheric concentrations of gaseous and suspended par-
ticulate pollutants. He then learns the methods em-
ployed for classifying pollutants and how to describe
the formation of pollutants in the atmosphere by
photochemical reactions. At the conclusion of this
learning session the student will be able to:
Identify the components of clean air. List the pol-
lutants commonly found in an urban atmosphere
and estimate the approximate range of concentra-
tions normally encountered. Give several examples
of methods used for classification of pollutants.
List the essential components in atmospheric
photochemical reactions.
Sources
To plan effective air pollution control strategies, the
student must be able to identify the source or sources
of various pollutants. In this section the student
learns the basic elements of efficient combustion as
well as the distinguishing characteristics of process
loss sources. He also learns methods of classifying air
pollution sources. In addition he will study the major
sources of primary pollutants (sulfur oxides, nitrogen
oxides, carbon monoxides, hydrocarbons, and pai
ticulates). At the conclusion of this learning unit the
student will be able to.
Define combustion and list the products of "ide-
al," "non-ideal," and "incomplete" combustion.
Given descriptions of industrial plants, identify the
types and relative amounts of pollutants emitted.
List the major sources of primary pollutants.
Effects
The section on Effects of Air Pollution is divided into
three parts: (1) effects on health, (2) effects on vege-
tation, and (3) effects on materials and visibility. The
student must first learn how to determine a valid rela-
-------
tionship between cause and effect; this relationship
must be established before he can attribute obser-
vable damage to air pollution.
The student briefly reviews man's respiratory
system preparatory to learning which areas of the
system are affected by different concentrations of
gases and varying sizes of particles. He then learns the
typical physiological responses to inhaled pollutants
and how to identify them. After being introduced to
the concept of total body burden, he learns to iden-
tify the effects of certain pollutants on various areas
of the body.
In the effects on vegetation section, the student
reviews leaf structure and the basic functions of
various plant parts. Next, he studies the types of pol-
lutants that damage plants, the specific plants suscep-
tible to damage, and the symptoms of damage attri-
butable to various pollutants.
In the third segment the student studies air pollu-
tion effects on materials (by associating materials
subject to atmospheric deterioration with pollutants
responsible for damage) and by learning the variety of
mechanisms of air pollution damage (chemical attack,
abrasion, soiling).
Upon completion of this section the student will
be able to:
Recognize a valid cause/effect relationship. State
what chemical irritants are suspected of causing
respiratory diseases, what diseases are attributed in
part to pollutants, and what disorders are aggra-
vated by certain levels of pollution. Identify gas-
eous pollutant effects on plants, list specific harm-
ful pollutants, and recognize symptoms of the
damage caused. List pollutants that damage ma-
terials and describe their effects.
Meteorology
In this section the student is introduced to meteo-
rological terminology and to atmospheric conditions
important to air pollution studies. The student learns
the roles of several meteorological factors in the
dispersion of atmospheric pollutants and the in-
fluence of weather on the cyclical variations in air
quality. Mechanisms for natural cleansing of the
atmosphere are presented, together with the effect of
air temperature and humidity on air pollution levels
and visibility. At the conclusion of this section the
student will be able to:
Describe the major effects of surface influence and
the influence of topography on wind and extract
useful information from a wind rose. Relate
temperature lapse rate to atmospheric stability and
associate six plume types, (looping, coning, fan-
ning, fumigation, trapping, and lofting) with the
appropriate environmental temperature profile.
Discuss the influence of meteorological factors on
air pollution levels (e.g., temperature inversion,
land and sea breeze, and thermal versus mechanical
turbulence).
Introduction to Control Technology
In this basic control technology section, the charac-
teristics and determining factors of atmosphere areas
and urban areas are described, the advantages of a
regional approach to air pollution control are out-
lined. These are all placed within the context of cur-
rent Federal laws governing air pollution control. This
instruction will enable the student to:
Describe atmospheric areas and urban areas. De-
scribe the need for the establishment of air quality
criteria and standards and state how standards are
set,
Technology of Control
In this section the student learns the principles of
maximizing the dilution capacity of the atmosphere
and of minimizing the generation of pollutants
through the use of raw materials and fuels with low
air pollution potential, the proper design of process
and combustion equipment, and the careful operation
and maintenance of plant equipment. A survey of
control equipment (designed to remove pollutants) is
made, and the student is cautioned to the relation-
ship between air pollution control and the control of
other forms of environmental pollution before selec-
ting control methods and equipment. At the com-
pletion of this section the student will be able to:
Differentiate between physical and effective stack
heights. Given a description of an industrial plant,
select appropriate air pollution control methods
and equipment. Discuss three ways of minimizing
the generation of pollutants.
Legal Aspects
The abatement of air pollution frequently requires
legal action involving government officials, industry
representatives, and the public. This section of the
course introduces the student to the fundamental
concepts of law and describes Federal statutes gov-
erning the air pollution control program. Upon com-
pletion of this section the student will be able to:
Define common law and statutory law and discuss
the relative merits of each in terms of pollution
abatement. List enactment dates of significant
Federal laws governing air pollution and describe
the major provisions of each, such as delegation of
responsibility for control to the states, designation
of air quality regions, grants to agencies, and
approved research areas. Given a description of an
air pollution problem, state what levels of govern-
ment have jurisdiction over the matter and what
legal steps are available to enforcers of Federal and
state laws.

To meet these growing manpower needs, class-
room, laboratory, and field training are combined in
this intensive three-week course in air pollution con-
trol conducted by the Institute for Air Pollution
Training.
This basic three-week course provides a compre-
hensive introduction to the technology of air pollu-
tion control. The student receives classroom training
in the principles and practice of identification of
sources, effects, pollution control technology, legal
bases for control, meteorology, and program admini-
stration. Additional classroom training and laboratory
practice develop basic skills related to sampling,
plume evaluation, laboratory analyses, field studies,
and data evaluation.
Emphasis is placed upon group interaction through
participation in workshops, seminars and problem ses-
sions. The trainees assume a variety of roles in the
computer-based simulation exercise APEX (Air Pollu-
tion Exercise). Substantial participation in laboratory
practice is included. Major topics include:

(Air Pollution Exercise)
Simulation
Students participating in Apex games at
Research Triangle Park facilities.
The responsibility of the Federal Government's Of-
fice of Air Programs to provide leadership and assis-
tance to State and local air pollution control agencies
in the recruitment and development of qualified per-
sonnel is a major theme of the 1970 Clean Air Act.
The Office of Air Programs, (OAP) in conjunction
with the University of Southern California and the
University of Michigan, has created and developed a
simulation exercise identified as APEX (Air Pollution
Exercise). This exercise establishes a dynamic atmo-
sphere in which the trainees participate in a "real
world" simulation involving a community with urban
and rural problems, industrial activities, and a variety
of air pollution control problems.
Current and projected uses of APEX have been
developed through several of the University Consortia
established in conjuction with OAP's Office of Man-
power Development.
The use of simulation exercises for the training of
air pollution control professionals offers two immedi-
ate and vital benefits:
1. A means is provided for a working application
of theoretical knowledge; the learner applies infor-
mation and skills to "real life" situations. In addi-
tion, motivation directed toward additional learn-
'I
-------
ing results from participation in seeking solutions
to the problems.
2. The focus is provided for solving problems
through an interdisciplinary approach, where the
interrelationship between "formal" areas of study
and application becomes evident.
Students participating in APEX assume the roles
of a number of decision makers: city and county
politicians, city and county planners, developers, in-
dustrialists, air pollution control officers, and con-
cerned citizens. Realistic data are supplied for each
role, and the students are required to make decisions
that are then analyzed by the computer. Next, the
results of the decisions are presented as new situa-
tional data representing a year of "actual time." Stu-
dents participating in these programs - which place
special emphasis on air pollution problems — employ
a wide range of skills and knowledge in a variety of
areas. Additional opportunities for growth are pro-
vided through seminars, lectures, texts, and working
contact with recognized authorities in a number of
professions.
Within the overall format of the simulation ex-
ercise, emphasis is placed upon specific areas through
the use of special situations, for example, hearings on
air pollution standards or legal actions brought against
a particular industry.
Additionally, preparations are underway to intro-
duce APEX as a graduate course at OAP's new Tech-
nical Center in the fall of 1971 for students from the
Triangle Universities Consortium. In addition to its
use at the University of Southern California, APEX is
now being conducted as a graduate course at the
University of Illinois at Urbana and at Harvard Uni-
versity as part of an Environmental Education pro-
gram for both graduate and undergraduate studies.

PLANNING AND SPECIAL PROJECTS
Designing programs to meet national manpower
and training needs in the field of air pollution
control is a primary responsibility of the Plan-
ning and Special Projects staff. Major emphasis
is placed upon providing support and assistance
at State and local levels. Programs are designed
to increase the national resource of qualified
professional and technical manpower, to make
employment opportunities in air pollution con-
trol more attractive to applicants, to find more
efficient means of utilizing existing manpower,
and to upgrade the technical competency of air
pollution control agency personnel.
The Planning and Special Projects staff has
the additional responsibility of assuring the
48
most effective career development and training
of Office of Air Programs professional, man-
agerial and technical personnel. A continuing
evaluation of human resources, program re-
sponsibilities, and personnel management is re-
quired in order to insure maximum benefits for
both the individual and the Office of Air Pro-
grams.
Career planning is essential to the effective utili-
zation and retention of the Office of Air Pro-
grams' multidisciplinary staff. There is no single
occupational field involved in solving air pollu-
tion problems, but rather, the distinctive re-
quirements involve the application of a broad
spectrum of skills and knowledge in more than
50 career disciplines.
Thus, the functions of the Planning and Spe-
cial Projects staff are to determine national
manpower and training needs in cooperation
with State and local air pollution control agen-
cies, coordinate the program planning required
to meet these needs and to insure the contin-
uing career development and scientific growth
of Office of Air Programs managerial, pro-
fessional and technical personnel.

UNIVERSITY
CONSORTIA
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Groups of major universities are redirecting their talents and re-
sources toward a new effort to combat air pollution and other envi-
ronmental protection problems through the formation of university
consortia. While initially their efforts are directed largely to air pollu-
tion control, it is expected that they will gradually expand to em-
brace other critical environmental areas. At present, four such con-
sortia have been formally established.
A university consortium is an organization of academic institu-
tions designed to have measurable impact upon environmental
control through its training program and service activities. A major
responsibility of a consortium is to plan, design, and conduct a co-
ordinated training program, primarily at the master's level, directed
at air pollution control. While embracing traditional areas such as
49
-------
meteorology, emission control, and sampling and analysis, the pro-
gram includes some involvements in land-use planning, transportation
planning, legislation, economic and other effects, implementation
plan development,-standard setting, and episode control plans. The
program exhibits an intensive orientation toward problem solving. A
consortium is not meant to represent individual strengths of the
participating universities, but rather to combine these strengths into
an integrated coherent effort. Supported by the faculties of the par-
ticipating universities, a consortium eliminates the need for duplica-
tion of programs in the individual universities and provides better
training to a greater number at a lower cost per student than could
be provided by individual universities. Consortia are constituted to
increase capability in handling multidisciplinary problems requiring
the competence and resources of varied institutions. Such training
programs are attractive to industry as well as public control agencies,
since both require personnel with similar knowledge and skills.
"Air pollution is a social problem," said Dr. John T. Middleton,
Deputy Assistant Administrator for Air Programs, who added that its
solution depends on public understanding and political action. Assis-
tance in these areas will be of prime concern to consortia universities.
Dr. Harry P. Kramer, Director, Office of Manpower Development,
said that new, more effective efforts are essential to meet the quali-
tative and quantitative manpower needs of State and local control
agencies. A concurrent need exists to develop a system to provide a
broad spectrum of technical assistance to these agencies. For ex-
ample, faculty members aligned with consortia, and consortia as
organizations, will become involved with lawmakers, planners, citi-
zens' groups, and most importantly, with State and local agency
directors by providing technical services and other assistance dealing
with long-range problems. Consortia programs will be an important
means of developing and training manpower for State and local air
pollution control agencies.
The university consortia on air pollution which have been formally
established are as follows:

The purpose of this program offered by the Depart
ment of Environmental Engineering is to provide ad-
vanced, specialized education for graduate engineers
and scientists in air pollution control. The program is
arranged individually for each student. In addition to
specialized air pollution studies the student acquires a
knowledge of the broad aspects of environmental en-
gineering and an understanding of the principles and
problems of related disciplines. To achieve this all
students are required to participate in a departmental
core program. Degree programs include the Doctor of
Philosophy and the thesis and non-thesis Masters.
Ph.D. candidates attend the entire series of air pol-
lution courses and do additional work in environmen-
tal engineering to complete the major portion of their
program. In addition to his major, the student may
select a minor in another discipline; however, this is
not required in any of the degree programs. A disser-
tation based on original research is required.
Air pollution related courses offered in this pro-
gram include:

with specific air pollution problems. Students in the
program are encouraged to take advantage of a new
series of courses, offered under the grouping of "Bi-
ology and Modern Man," which are presented in a
context of such corn temporary problems as environ-
mental pollution and a disturbed ecology. In addi-
tion, every quarter one seminar course is offered that
deals with chemical and biochemical characterization
of environmental contaminations and related ecologi-
cal and public health effects.
The goal of this program is to introduce future
biological scientists to the modern techniques of bio-
logical research and to clearly demonstrate how these
techniques can be used to solve current and future air
pollution problems.
