ABOUT NTIS
The National Technical Information Service of the
U.S. Department of Commerce is the central source
for the public sale of Government-sponsored research,
development and engineering reports and other analy-
ses prepared by Federal agencies, their contractors
or grantees, or by Special Technology Groups. NTIS
also is a central source for Federally generated ma-
chine processable data files.
NTIS ships about 20,000 information products
daily as one of the world's leading processors of spe-
cialty information. It supplies its customers with about
four million documents and microforms annually. The
NTIS information collection exceeds 900,000 titles and
all are available for sale. About 105,000 titles are
stocked in multiple copies. Current lists of best selling
reports describe those most in demand.
NTIS is obligated by Title 15, U.S. Code 1151-7, to
recover its cost from sales. The distribution of its in-
formation products and services is self-sustaining from
the registration fees charged for information entering
the system and from the sales of its products and
services. , .
Customers may quickly locate summaries 01 interest
from among some 480,000 federally sponsored re-
search reports completed and published from 1964
to date, using the agency's on-line computer search
service (NTISearch) or more than 1000 prepackaged
bibliographies called Published Searches. About 60,000
new summaries and reports are added annually. An
additional 180,000 descriptions of ongoing and re-
cently terminated research projects, compiled by the
Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, also are
computer retrievable. Copies of the whole research
reports, on which the summaries are based, are sold
by NTIS in paper or microfiche.
The NTIS Bibliographic Data File (on magnetic tape)
includes unpublished research summaries and is avail-
able for lease. The computer products of other Federal
agencies also are sold or leased by NTIS.
Current summaries of new research reports and
other specialized information in various categories of
interest are published in some 26 weekly newsletters
(Weekly Government Abstracts) and these are indexed.
An all inclusive biweekly journal (Government Reports
Announcements & Index) is published for librarians,
technical information specialists and those requiring
all the summaries in a single volume.
A standing order microfiche service, Selected
Research In Microfiche (SRIM), automatically provides
subscribers with the full texts of research reports spe-
cially selected to satisfy individual requirements. Auto-
matic distribution of paper copies also is available.
HOW TO ORDER
Three categories of order fulfillment are offered.
• RUSH HANDLING (replaces "Rush Order") is for
customers who must have immediate delivery.
Rush Handling guarantees that a particular order
will be filled within 24 hours of its receipt. Rush
Handling orders receive immediate validation, verifica-
tion ot availability and individual hand processing
through inventory control and the warehouse; priority
printing if reproduction from film is required, and
priority mailing.
Rush Handling oraers for mailing rather than pickup
are accepted only from customers having NTIS Deposit
Accounts or American Express cards.
Rush Handling orders may be placed only by tele-
phone, telegram. Telex, Telecopier or customers in
person; not by mail.
Rush Hand/ing for delivery to customers by priority
mail costs $10 for each item ordered.
Rush Hand/ing for pickup in Springfield or D.C. costs
$6 for each item ordered.
• PREMIUM SERVICE is a 24-hour toll-free tele-
phone ordering procedure ensuring priority mail deliv-
ery to NTIS Deposit Account customers within five to
12 days.
All Deposit Account customers will receive Premium
Service identification numbers with which they may
place telephone orders at any time. Premium Service
benefits are toll-free calls with 24-hour availability, no
busy signals, simplified ordering techniques (details
with the identification number), postage savings, and
priority delivery.
Premium Service costs $3.50 for each item ordered.
• REGULAR SERVICE will continue to operate with
improved processing and stocking methods, optional
priority mail delivery (slight additional cost) and op-
tional pickup in Springfield or D.C. Current parcel post
deliveries using the U.S. Postal Service are completed
within nine to 30 days.
DOMESTIC AIRMAIL is $2 additional for each docu-
ment shipped.
FOREIGN AIRMAIL is $3 for each document shipped.
PRICING
NTIS uses pricing codes instead of dollar amounts
to display the cost of an individual document. To
convert these codes to current prices, see your
most recent issue of Government Reports An-
nouncements & Index or Weekly Government

FOREWORD
This bibliography provides a cumulative listing of all reports entered into
the National Technical Information Service collection through 1976 by
the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency and its predecessor
agencies. The EPA Cumulative Bibliography 1970-1976 consolidates into
one publication all reports previously listed in the original bibliography
(EPA-LIB-73-01; PB-223 693) dated July 1973, the first supplement (EPA-
LIB-74-03; PB-234 215) dated August 1974, the second supplement (PB-
238 800) dated December 1974, and issues of the EPA Reports
Bibliography Quarterly published during 1975 and 1976. It is published in
two parts. Part 1 contains bibliographic citations and abstracts, and a title
index. Part 2 contains the subject, corporate source, author, contract
number, and accession/report number indexes.
The EPA Cumulative Bibliography, should provide sufficient information
for any user to identify any EPA report desired. Copies of the individual
reports will be available from NTIS in either hard copy or on microfiche.
NTIS will also provide the EPA reports in microfiche as a set; cost figures
may be obtained from NTIS. EPA libraries contain complete sets of
microfiche on all items included in this bibliography. In addition, a com-
plete set has been made available to 25 foreign countries which now have,
or are contemplating, the establishment of an environmental agency.

This report contains brief descriptions of the
various individual research programs active
during the period July 1974, through June 1975.
The organization of such a large and varied
compilation presents a serious problem. It was
decided that the simplest and most straightfor-
ward way to encompass Stanford's broad ac-
tivities in this area would be an alphabetical ar-
rangement by principal investigator. In addition
to brief abstracts relating to the various
research programs, compilations are included
of publications, doctoral dissertations, faculty
and senior staff members, research associates,
graduate students and degrees awarded. From
this compilation, it can be seen that research on
materials and related problems is being con-
ducted within twelve different academic depart-
ments as well as in the Hansen Microwave
Laboratory.

the absence of clouds, the slight opacity of the
atmosphere in the windows causes the tem-

that measured by ships or aircraft. Clouds
produce the same effect, but generally of a

This research examines the development and
application of a cooperative transportation
planning process between the Navy and local
adjoining communities in Tidewater Virginia.
Navy participation in passenger transportation
is investigated from the perspective of ongoing
programs in environmental protection, land-
use planning, and energy conservation. SRI
recommends 5 principal steps to initiate a
cooperative transportation process: un-
derstanding the Navy-Community Transporta-
tion problems: developing a cooperative
planning process, preparation and implementa-
tion of a transportation action plan: and techni-
cal assistance during implementation. On the
basis of this approach, the Tidewater case-in-
point demonstration project reveals a number
of the key elements that contribute to initiating
a successful transportation process. These in-
clude: early involvement of both the key

stakeholders in the community and the navy;
formation of an ad hoc advisory committee for
initiating the study and establishing overall ob-
jectives; development of a tool for action (the 5-
year intermodal transportation action pain);
and finally, official endorsement of the program
by both the community and the Navy.

tempt to provide complete information in any
one category, nor to assign a priority to one ac-
tion against another. The recommendation ac-
tions are summarized by mode category as fol-
lows: (1) automobile— survey of on-base travel,
Car poll program. Park and ride lots, and Auto
disincentives; (2) Paratransit — Taxi service

buses (Routing, amenities, marketing, incen-
tives); (4) Water transportation — Feasibility of
passenger ferry service; (5) Other Transporta-
tion — Bicycles and motorbikes on-base, and
feasibility of automated guideway transit; and
(6) Nontransit — Flexible work hours, Navy fami-
ly housing, Trans-Hampton Roads crossing
study, Transit information center, Transit mar-
keting program, and Navy transportation task

Canton Atoll has a single passage between the
ocean and lagoon and has conspicuous en-
vironmental gradients from that passage to the
back lagoon. These gradients include the
physiography of the lagoon floor, water quality,
and the diversity and abundance of corals,
fishes, and mollusks. The gradients can ap-
parently be attributed either directly or in-
directly to circulation and water motion within
the lagoon. Those oceanographic charac-
teristics can, in turn, be attributed to the
geological history of the atoll, including some
human modification of the pass configuration.
In addition to the studies of the atoll lagoon
characteristics of the groundwater system are
noted. Evidence from isolated standing water
bodies on the atoll demonstrates that these fea-
tures show considerable variability, which may
be attributed to a combination of the im-
mediately previous history of these bodies as
well as to the physiography of the atoll.

The shortage of petroleum products recently
experienced made most Americans aware of
the fact that the energy resources of this nation
are not unlimited. What may not yet be apparent
to the casual observer is that the total energy
consumption of our nation must continue to in-
crease even if we establish a successful conser-
vation program, and that we are faced with a
frightening spectrum of implications as-
sociated with such an increase in total energy
consumption on the one hand, and the conser-
vation programs we must institute, on the other.
This Energy Fact Book is a guide to some of the
current and potential alternative sources of
energy that can be exploited in planning for a
crisis-free ehergy equilibrium.

The most significant knowledge gained during
the Salmon Event was that large numbers of
people can be successfully evacuated, and a
comprehensive off-site radiological safety pro-
gram can be successfully conducted In a popu-
lated area if the confidence of the people
toward the operation is maintained. Consider-
ing the many occasions that the people were
contacted relative to the surveys of the area and
evacuation activities, extreme precautions were
necessary to maintain the confidence of the
people. In developing evacuation procedures, it
was learned that each family had to be con-
sidered on an individual basis, and that
questions relative to the operation had to be an-
swered truthfully and as precisely as possible.
The people In the area expressed considerable
concern relative to when the shot would be
detonated and what the effects might be on
them and their surroundings. They expressed
major concern over possible damage to their
water wells due to structural or radiological ef-
fects. (Author)

The set of programs and options described in
the study provide a versatile new approach to
river basin planning for water quality manage-
ment. Although water quality relationships are
the primary considerations of the calculations
performed here, the programs are very general
and can be manipulated to consider many
water uses. Since water quality strongly effects
all uses of water, the programs are designed to
consider most of the legitimate water uses. The
models are capable of analyzing the quality-
quantity interrelationships for municipal and in-
dustrial water supply, flood control, fish and
aquatic life, irrigation, and recreation. These
and other uses can be considered either by stu-
dying how to manage existing situations or by
introducing various design alternatives con-
cerning physical and structural components. As
an analytical technique for planning and utiliz-
ing river basins, this 'River Basin Simulation
Program' represents a major programming ef-
fort having as its base a sound analytical and
engineering consideration of water quality.

The objective of this study was to relate the visi-
bility of inflight jet exhaust to the SAE smoke
number. A method based on photographic
photometry was developed for measuring the
optical density of smoke plumes. This method
was related to visibility and to the smoke
number through transmlssometer measure-
ments and visibility theory. A portable transmis-
someter, capable of operating over a wide
range of optical path lengths and under varying
ambient light conditions was fabricated for use
on this study. The mathematical expression
relating the transmission measurements to the
smoke number was derived. Liminal visibility
requirements of smoke trails, developed from
light scattering theory, correlated with actual
visual observations and the transmissometer
and photometry measurements. Test results,
with the engines investigated, indicate that SAE
smoke numbers below 23 were associated with
invisible exhaust plumes. Samples of the ex-
haust smoke showed the particles to be com-
posed of lacy agglomerates. At the nozzle, the
geometric median particle diameter was O.OS2
micrometers. At a distance of 10 nozzle diame-
ters the geometric median particle diameter
was 0.13 micrometer at cruise condition.

was studied in experimental animals. The per-
cent absorption of the individual compounds
via the cutaneous route varied from 0.10 to 8.83
percent and via the gastro-intestinal route from
0.67 to 21.55 percent. The data show a positive
correlation between the relative absorption of
the individual luminous compounds through
both the cutaneous and gastrointestinal routes.
Tritium activity was eliminated in two com-

represent tritium activity in the form of tritiated
water (HTO), while a more rapid component
was thought to be tritium incorporated in other
compounds soluble in urine and other body

Transformation of marsh grass, Spartina alter-

step in the coastal Louisiana estuarine
ecosystem. Spartina is systematically attacked
by a selective mycota throughout its develop-
ment and decomposition. Fungi include.
among others, species of Fusarium and
Cephalpsporium as well as representatives of
the marine taxa Lulworthia and Leptosphaeria.
Molds colonizing external plant surfaces differ
from those isolated within the culm. Fungal at-
tack is correlated with seasonal development
and subsequent decomposition of the plant. A
large yeast biomass, notably sporogenous taxa
Pichia spartinae and Kluyveromyces droso-
philarum, is prevalent in the oxidized portions
of the Spartina rhizosphere and within the
peripheral tissue and intercellular spaces of the
culm. These species, with stron B-glucosidase
activity, reach maximal populations during
dieback of Spartina. A mutualistic yeast/mold
association in turnover of plant substrates is
suggested.

The report describes investigations of the accu-
racy and precision of various measurement
methodologies for determining the estimated
sound power output of 'large' machines in the
free field over a reflecting plane. One purpose
of this investigation is to place empirical error
bounds on many of the free field measurement
procedures currently proposed or in use; and in
particular, compare the results of near-field and
far-field measurements. The sources used for
the investigation included 17 portable air com-
pressors of various types (powered by internal
combustion engines), a reference sound
source, and a loudspeaker driven by a pure
tone source. The data recorded include sound
pressure level (A-weighted, linear, and 1/3-oc-
tave band) on an 84 point hemispherical array
of seven metre radius, and near-field measure-
ments, sampled every square metre, on a
rectangular surface one metre from the
machine surface. These data were reduced to
provide information on the deviation of near-
field sound power determinations from far-field
power level (using subsets of the data as ap-
propriate to various methodologies).

Two rhesus monkeys were irradiated in a 383
MHz resonant cavity immediately before and
during performance of a four-choice, forced-
choice serial reaction task. Integral dose rates
of .001 through 17.5 W were delivered to the
head. No effects were observed below a critical
dose level (about 23 W/kg) derived from in-
tegral dose rate and body mass. Above this
level, behavioral suppression occurred, i.e.,
correct response rate was profoundly altered.
The effect was completely reversible and re-
peatable in one of the subjects - the other sub-
ject did not recover completely and was sacri-
ficed for histological examination which
revealed no gross or microscopic damage. The
nature of the effect suggests a neurochemical
rather than an electrical or mechanical basis for
the results.

The sewage treatment works project involves
both a construction grants application and a
research and monitoring grant submitted by the
City of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. When
completed, the project will add 1.4 MGD of
phosphorous removal capacity to the existing
sewage treatment plant and will serve the
Detroit LaKes area of Minnesota. The project
will initially serve a population of 6.400. The
purpose of research is to determine the physi-
cal and chemical character, and nutrient ab-
sorptive capacity of irrigation and infiltration
area subsoil with good quality wastewater.; to
determine the impact of seasonal weather
variations; on the effectiveness of nutrient
removal by cropping and harvesting, and to
determine the impact on subsoil sorption and
micrpbial degradation processes of soil satura-
tion and attendant elimination of the aerobic
soil zone.

The present and predicted nature, extent, and
control of air pollution related to aircraft opera-
tions in the U.S. were studied. The methodology
for impact assessment, and the results of im-
pact evaluation are discussed along with the
technological feasibility of controlling aircraft
emissions, and emission control. It is con-
cluded that: (1) Aircraft emissions are signifi-
cant contributors to pollution, (2) Airports exert
localized impact on air quality. (3) Aircraft emis-
sions and nonaircraft sources must be con-
trolled at airports to comply with the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards. Techniques for
controlling aircraft emissions are listed.

Estimates are presented of trends in nationwide
air pollutant emissions for the five major pollu-
tants: sulfur oxides, participates, carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.
Detailed emission estimates for 1969 and 1970
are also provided. The year 1969 was selected
as the base year, emissions for other years were
calculated using methods and criteria in effect
for 1969. In general, emissions of sulfur oxides
and nitrogen oxides steadily increased through
1970 while carbon monoxide, particulate, and
hydrocarbon emissions peaked in 1968-1969
and either decreased or remained somewhat
constant thereafter. (Author)

The patent application is concerned with an ap-
paratus and system comprised of a plurality of
doctoring units, each of which is a pivotally
supported combination doctor blade and V-
shaped member. In each unit the leading edge
of the doctor blade is parallel to the plane of the
surface of a processing belt. This conveys the
material to be dried and the leading edge
formed by the two plane faces of the V-shaped
member is generally perpendicular to the plane
of the belt when the unit is in doctoring posi-
tion. In addition to doctoring, the apparatus and
system imparts a tumbling action to the materi-
al being dried by the plowshare action of the V-
shaped member.

The symposium on Water Quality Measurement
and Instrumentation has focused attention gn
an important problem in the water pollution
control programs of the nation. Intensified ef-
forts by industry and governmental agencies
will be needed to apply to this effort technologi-
cal experience already at hand in other fields.
Available instrumentation must be adjusted to
the demands of more or less continuous moni-
toring of stream quality. Devices are needed
which will detect, measure, and record continu-
ously at least the more important of those water
quality constituents that can now be deter-
mined only at the laboratory bench.

No. 6 Residual Fuel Oils marketed in the United
States contain an average sulfur content of
about 1.6 percent, with a range encompassing a
minimum of about 0.4 percent to a maximum of
about 4.5 percent. The emission of sulfur diox-
ide from furnaces burning such fuel is recog-
nized as a cause of significant air pollution. The
objective of the study is to establish costs for
reducing the sulfur content of fuel oils manu-
factured from high sulfur crudes. The desired
maximum sulfur content for an acceptable fuel
oil has been taken to be 0.5 wt. percent for this
study. Presented are eight case studies
developed in detail with the aid of a Linear Pro-
gramming model of a typical 100,000 barrel per

A review of the knowledge pertinent to the use
of deep wells for the subsurface injection of
liquid waste has been carried out to evaluate
the technical and economic feasibility and
desirability of this method and to outline exist-
ing research needs. This review has shown that
the deep-well injection of liquid waste is techni-
cally feasible in many areas of the country and,
if properly planned and implemented, is not
likely to be harmful to natural resources. While
most of the technical knowledge and ex-
perience necessary to carry out the deep-well
injection of liquid waste is presently available,
further investigation is necessary to solve
specific problems that remain as barriers to the
safe, efficient, and economic use of this
method. (Author)

A completely regenerative system is outlined
which would furnish the physiological require-
ments of human living in an extra-terrestrial en-
vironment, Attention is focused on processes in
the system which would convert organic con-
stituents of waste to inorganic forms. An aero-
bic, thermophilic, microbiological process is
discussed in detail in which the conversion of
organics might be accomplished very effi-
ciently. The process would be continuous and
completely mixed. A large recirculation ratio
would be used, and the microorganisms in the
recirculated flow would be destroyed thermally.

Two duck-processing plants located on Long
Island were studied to obtain waste load and
water use data for comparison with chicken
processing data. Weighted averages for both
plants studied indicate water use of 23.6 gal-
lons and waste loads of 0.0419 pound BOD and
0.0289 pound of suspended solids per duck
processed. Similar values for chicken
processing are 8 gallons of water, 0.025 pound
of BOD, and 0.013 pound of suspended solids
per bird. Comparisons between duck and
chicken processing on the basis of 1,000
pounds of live birds indicate water usage is
3,600 gallons for ducks and 2,300 gallons for
chickens: BOD values are 6.4 pounds for ducks
and 7.18 pounds for chickens; and suspended
solids values are 28.9 pounds for ducks and 13
pounds for chickens. Waste water coliform
values were 56,800 per 100 milliliter in plant A
and 49,200 per 100 mililiter in plant B. (Author)

The study consisted of four samples which 74
participating laboratories were instructed to
dilute to a specified volume and analyze by both
the Standard Method for Chemical Oxygen De-
mand and by the Mercuric Sulfate modification.
The results from this study indicate that the two
procedures produce similar precision and ac-
curacy when no interfering materials are
present. When interferences due to high con-
centrations of chloride are present, the stan-
dard method will produce equal precision and
accuracy only if the appropriate corrective
techniques are applied. The Mercuric Sulfate
modification is the method of choice for COO
measurement since with less manipulation it ef-
fectively removes the interference due to
chloride oxidation arid is less time consuming.

Although electrolytic methods of treating waste
water are reported in the older literature, their
effectiveness Is in doubt. This study has shown
that an electrolytic treatment of secondary ef-
fluent from an activated-sludge plant using lead
dioxide anodes can reduce ABS by 90 percent,
COD by 80 percent, and chloride by 90 percent.
This treatment has little effect on total solids.
The cost of treatment will vary between $0.90
and $2.42 per 1,000 gallons. The plant costs will
vary between $9 million and $26 million for a 10
mgd plant. These costs do not include site
preparation, roads, landscaping, fences, land
area, lighting, laboratories, or other buildings.
and the costs depend on the completeness of
the treatment and the electrical conductivity of
the waste water. The method is not considered
economically practical for waste-water renova-
tion, wherein waters of relatively low conduc-
tivity must be processed. (Author)

Cost estimates are made for ultimate disposal
of the contaminants resulting from complete
renovation of a municipal waste water. For in-
jection, these costs varied from $0.13 to $27 per
1,000 gallons injected (7,000 ft., 260 psi well-
head pressure, 1.187 fluid density) as the capa-
bility decreased from 2 million to 1,000 gallons
per day. For cavities mined by conventional
methods, fixed costs alone vary from $243 to
$72 per 1.000 gallons at capabilities of 1,000
and 10 million gallons per day, respectively.
Costs for disposal in cavities created by nuclear
blasting are highly speculative. Fixed costs vary
from $139 to $0.269 per 1,000 gallons as the
capability increases from 1,000 to 10 million
gallons per day. Spreading is by far the
cheapest disposal method. Cost varied from
$0.30 to $0.001 per 1,000 gallons as the capa-
bility varied from 1,000 (0.4-foot-per-day infil-
tration rate) to 10 million gallons per day (4.0-
feet-per-day infiltration rate). Land costs
between $25 and $1000 per acre were con-
sidered and, in this range, had very little effect
on over-all cost.

The freezing and gas hydrate processes for
demineralizing sea water are adapted in a
preliminary design to renovate municipal waste
waters. Assuming a feed material containing
1,000 parts total dissolved solids per million,
the author predicts costs for recovering 92 per-
cent of the feed as potable water (250 ppm
TDS). The waste stream can be further concen-
trated under eutectic conditions to produce
more water and a waste stream of damp solids.
Cost of disposal of the concentrated waste
stream is not included in either case. In 14 ac-
tual freezing tests completed, chemical oxygen
demand (COD) was reduced 65 to 85 percent:
chlorides 85 to 90 percent; and conductivity, 90
percent or more. Reduction of alkylbenzene
sulfonate (ABS) was erratic. The isobutane
used as a refrigerant interfered in'lhe COD
tests. With data from the better test runs,
preliminary cost estimates indicate that 95 per-
cent of the feed water containing 10 percent of
the contaminants can be recovered at a cost
somewhat lower than that predicted for
desalinating sea water by freezing. (Author)

A wide range of physical-chemical separation
processes were studied to evaluate their effec-
tiveness in purifying municipal and industrial
waste waters. Laboratory investigations
showed that adsorption by granular activated
carbon is an effective method of removing or-
ganic contaminants but that other materials
studied as possible low-cost adsorbents failed
to produce consistently effective organic
removals. Laboratory and pilot plant foaming of
secondary effluent removed 30 to 40 percent of
the organic contaminants and 70 to 80 percent
of synthetic detergents. Single-pass electrodi-
alysis reduced the concentration of salts by 40
to 50 percent. Initial work on distillation has
established that volatile contaminants carry
over into the distillate to produce a detectable
odor, requiring further treatment by activated
carbon. Laboratory experiments on reverse os-
mosis indicate considerable promise for this
process, but much development work remains
to be done on factors such as membrane life,
flux rates, and biological effects on mem-
branes. In studies on freezing, fine ice crystals
are seen to agglomerate into large or massive
chunks if the ice matrix is subjected to
moderate compression. The agglomeration
limits the ability to wash contaminants from the
ice crystals. Solvent extraction, with low-
molecular-weight secondary and tertiary
amines, has produced water with an organic
content of less than 10 milligrams per liter and a
total dissolved solids content of less than 150
milligrams per liter.

Granular, activated carbon in packed-bed
column contactors was shown to remove much
of the organic matter including alkylbenesul-
fonate from municipal waste water. The COD of
a secondary effluent was reduced to about 12 to
20 ppm and the ABS was removed almost en-
tirely. When an ABS break-through concentra-
tion of 0.5 ppm is used as a criterion of carbon
exhaustion, the amount of carbon required for
countercurrent contacting is less than 1 pound
per 1,000 gallons. For the process to be
economical the carbon must be reactivated and
re-used. Thermal reactivation in a steam-air at-
mosphere was found to be technically feasible.
With reactivation, the total cost of carbon ad-
sorption was estimated to be less than 10 cents
per 1,000 gallons for plants treating 10 mgd of
waste water. (Author)

A desk top study was made of the scaling and
corrosion effects to be expected in municipal
waste-water distillation. A municipal water re-
use cycle was assumed in which sufficient
waste-water distillate would be mixed with
waste water treated for organic contaminant
removal only, to give a mixture suitable for the
municipal water supply. The study shows that
the concentration of scaling materials is small
enough that, in many cases, distillation at a
12
-------

temperature of 400F should be possible. An
economic advantage over sea-water distillation
would be expected as a result. Potential corro-
sion problems exist, but only experimental
work will determine the seriousness of these
problems. Continuous boiling experiments
were carried out on Ann Arbor sewage to deter-
mine the fouling effects of organic contami-
nants. Distillation of secondary effluent at tem-
peratures up to 250F should not result in foul-
ing. Data were not obtained above that tem-
perature. Operation with primary effluent does
not appear feasible without additional treat-
ment for removal of suspended materials

Lewiston-Clarkston area and to assemble infor-
mation to be used as a basis for technical and
official action needed to conserve air quality in
the area. Because of its unique valley location,
the two-city area is susceptible to meteorologi-
cal conditions conductive to pollutant accumu-
lation. Either city contaminate the other, and
this creates a multijurisdictional problem that
requires joint and cooperative action to control
air pollution. As a first step to solve the
problem, an Air Resources Management Coun-
cil consisting of county, city and state officials
is to be organized. This council will be respon-
sible for planning surveys and studies to deter-
mine air quality guides and legislation and ad-
ministration necessary to control air pollution
in this multijurisdictional area. The Public
Health Service in its advisory capacity will pro-
vide technical assistance. (Author)

low to moderate concern among 31 percent;
and minimal concern among 21 percent.
Although exposure to odorous pollutants in
ambient air appeared roughly equal for all
members of the sample, their concern with air
pollution was found to vary directly with social
status and attitude characteristics such as civic
pride, desire to ameliorate the situation, length

As part of an intensive study by government and
private agencies the U. S. Public Health Service
has built an irradiation chamber facility for in-
vestigation of irradiated auto exhaust under
mixing conditions similar to those in the at-
mosphere. The facility consists of a pro-
grammed continuous-cycling chassis
dynamometer, an exhaust dilution system, a
dilution-air purification system, two irradiation
chambers, and exposure facilities for evalua-
tion of bacteria kill, plant damage, and various
effects on small animals. Of the three variables
studied during the first test series, the exhaust
concentration at the start of Irradiation ap-
peared to produce the most significant effects.
Fuel composition had a lesser influence. Very
little difference was noted in the effects
produced at two different average irradiation
times. (Author)

The organic vapors emitted to urban at-
mospheres by motor vehicles and other
sources of emissions consist not only of paraf-
finic, acetylenic, aromatic, and olefinic
hydrocarbons, but also of aldehydes, ketones,
alcohols, phenols, and chlorinated hydrocar-
bons. To estimate the contribution of each of
these classes of compounds to photochemical
smog, one must know both their atmospheric
concentrations and their relative reactivities in
atmospheric reactions. Reactivities of organic
substances in photooxidation reactions can be
considered from many standpoints. Rates of
disappearance of the organic substances, rates
of disappearance of nitric oxide or of formation
and disappearance of nitrogen dioxide, and
rates or maximum yields of various products
such as oxidant qr organic nitrates all can be
used as chemical measurements of reactivity.
Eye irritation, various types of plant damage,
and aerosol formation are indicators of reactivi-
ty that can be related only to a limited extent to
chemical measurements of reactivity. The
problems of developing a single index of reac-
tivity are considered. The application of reac-
tivity measurements to automobile exhaust
composition, to control devices, and to im-
provements in atmospheric purity is discussed.

The objectives of this pilot study were to
develop a preliminary evaluation of air pollution
in Jacksonville and to determine whether
fluoride and sulfur dioxide concentrations were
sufficient to cause damage to vegetation that
had occurred In the area. The study consisted
of an emission inventory, a meteorological In-
vestigation, an intensive short-term study of
downtown Jacksonville, and an industrial area
study. Pollutants sampled for included sulfur
dioxide, oxidants, nitrogen dioxide, carbon
monoxide, hydrogen sulflde, fluorides, and
suspended participates. During the study
fluoride concentrations were high enough in
certain parts of the city to cause damage to sen-
sitive plants; sulfur dioxide and oxidants were
also present at significant levels. Results of the
study also indicated that photochemical smog
is produced over Jacksonville, that pollutants
from Jacksonville are transported across the St.
John's River, and finally, that several pollutants
constitute a potential problem in the city and
should be evaluated further. (Author)

Cost estimates are made for ultimate disposal
of the concentrated contaminants resulting
from complete renovation of a municipal waste
water. The processes investigated are wet ox-
idation (Zimmerman Process) and incineration.
For wet oxidation, plant costs vary from $4 to
$80 per gallon of concentrate per day capacity
(10.000.000 to 1.000 gallons per day). Operating
costs vary from $1.40 to $35 per thousand gal-
lons of feed. Pre-evaporation could reduce
costs. Fixed costs constitute a large proportion
(8 figures. 19 references). For incineration, esti-
mates of the cost of pre-evaporation to 30 per-
cent solids and hauling of the ash were in-
cluded. A flash dryer-Nichols Herreshoff fur-
nace combination was selected. Costs per
1,000 gallons of concentrate varied from $0.57
(10,000,000 gallons per day. 300 ppm) to $68
(1,000 gallons per day, 3000,000 ppm). Cor-
responding unit investment costs were $1.53
and $108 per gallon per day capacity (11

Desk top studies of the cost of distillation of

mates are based upon those for sea water, but
are modified to conform with the differences in
composition of sea water and waste water, and
differences in the modes of operation for the
two feeds. The smaller concentration of scaling
materials in waste water should allow distilla-
tion to be carried out at a higher temperature
than can be used with sea water. The smaller
total contaminant concentration results in a
smaller boiling-point elevation. Because of the
need to dispose of the btowdown permanently
it is necessary to concentrate to a far greater

Two basic extended-aeration plants that
discharge effluents to intermittent watercour-
ses were studied during various seasons of the
year. Except for periods of slug discharges, the
plants produced effluents with a BOD of less
than 35 mg/1 and suspended solids less than 30
mg/1. Plant efficiency was directly related to
the amount of solids lost as a result of fluctua-
tions in raw waste flow or as a result of denitrifi-
cation and rising of solids in the sedimentation
basin and consequent overflow. With the addi-
tion of sludge-wasting facilities of effluent-
polishing units, these plants would be capable
of efficient continuous operation for long
periods. Periodic heavy discharges of
suspended solids formed sludge deposits in the
two streams receiving effluent from the plants.
Counts of benthic forms above and below the
plant outfalls and at sampling points
downstream clearly showed the effect of these
deposits. Algal growths were profuse in
unshaded portions of the streams, indicating
high nutrient levels. (Author)

The paper presents the results of a study of the
Santee, California, recreational lakes. These
lakes were deliberately planned to utilize the
community's reclaimed sewage effluent. The
seven-agency cooperative study evaluated the
fate of virus along with total and fecal coliform
and fecal streptococci through the conven-
tional secondary treatment process, the tertiary
processes, and the recreational lakes. The cor-
relating physical and chemical data were also
presented along with a bio-logical study of the
lakes and related land area. Discussions of
eutrophication, vector control, epidemiology.
and the social acceptance and ecology of the
entire recreational park are developed. The
study concludes that the treatment provided by
intermittent sand filtration met the nutrient
requirements of the emerging ecology and that
no health hazards were demonstrated by the
viral or other findings for the present recrea-
tional uses of boating and fishing. (Author)

Granular, activated carbon in packed-bed
column contactors 20 feet deep and operated at
a flow rate of 4 gpm per square foot reduced the
COD to an average value of 18.5 ppm. The
removal was not significantly different from the
removal obtained when operating the same
column at 10 gpm per square foot After 4
months of operation, the first quarter of the
column length was still accomplishing a signifi-
cant part of the overall removal. Typical adsorp-
tion isotherms for type SQL carbon for COD in-
dicated capacities of approximately 35 percent
by weight. The cyclic saturation and regenera-
tion of activated carbon through 16 cycles had
an average carbon loss of 4.6 percent per cycle.
A practical adsorption capacity was maintained
for the regenerated carbon even though reac-
tivation conditions for carbon spent on mu-
nicipal waste-water treatment purification have
not been explored and optimized. Flocculation
with alum of secondary effluent prior to carbon
adsorption increased the adsorption capacity
of the carbon and resulted in much lower final
levels of COD than the levels obtained with un-
flocculated effluent. (Author)

The study of aquatic organisms as they have
been related to water supply and water pollu-
tion problems since 1850 is detailed. Significant
contributions have been made that relate
plankton, benthos, periphyton. and fish to the
definition of organic, toxic, thermal, and silt
pollution. Generally it is not realistic to isolate a
particular genus or even a species of aquatic
organism to indicate the presence or absence
of pollutional wastes in water. It is the study of
the total aquatic biota that tells one most about
water conditions. Nevertheless, something
equated with the magnitude of the problem that
may be termed 'reality' often dictates the type of
study and the kinds and numbers of samples
collected. Serious thought should be given in
the reporting of data to ensure that the final re-
port is matched to the needs of the study and
provides answers to questions responsible for
the instigation of the study. (Author)

within a small milkshed in central Minnesota.
Covering an 8-month period, the study included
sampling of milk, hay. grain, silage, water,
forage, soil, and precipitation. The data indicate
that 70 to 90 percent of the cattle's strontium-90
intake came from the native grass hay and that
the farm-to-farm differences of strontium-90
concentrations in milk correspond to similar
differences of strontium-90 concentrations in
the hay fed. On the basis of the data obtained, it
is not possible to explain why the consistent
differences in the native grass hay existed.

the study were to evaluate waste stabilization
pond performance, to determine the fate Of
pathogenic bacteria in terms of total and fecal
coliform and fecal streptococci organisms, and
to obtain supporting physical, chemical, and
biochemical data. From this study it can be
concluded that waste stabilization ponds in this
area can effectively treat domestic wastes with
a 5-day BOD loading rate of approximately 100
pounds per acre per day, that effective bacterial
reductions can be achieved, and that waste sta-
bilization pond effluents can be effectively
chlorinated. (Author)

Since slreamflow regulation is currently being
considered as a method of water quality control
and impoundments will be the source of water
for regulated streamflow, the changes in water
quality that occur during storage in a given en-
vironment must be understood and predictable.
Much has been written in the sanitary engineer-
ing and limnology literature that bears on the
broad problem of determining the influence of
impoundments on water quality. This report is a
review of that literature. It is impossible to re-
port on all of the literature, but sufficient
selected references are reviewed to accomplish
three purposes: (1) to indicate to readers who
are new to the field of impoundment behavior
the enormous breadth of the field, (2) to discuss
each topic in sufficient detail to give the reader
insight into the current understanding of that
topic, and (3) to indicate the major research
needs in each area and to suggest possible
fruitful avenues of study to satisfy these needs.
In addition to the major section on impound-
ment behavior, this report contains sections on
the influence of impoundment releases on
downstream water quality and operations
research for water quality management.

evidence indicates that the decline is real and
that the methods employed can reliably detect
substantive changes in the concentration of
suspended partlculate pollution. Information
on changes in the environments of a represen-
tative group of stations revealed that where sig-
nificant decreases in suspended particulates
occurred, they were often logically related to
specific changes in source emissions. Thus the
indicated decline in the suspended paniculate
portion of urban air pollution is verified and
substantially accounted for. A statistically sig-
nificant increase in the annual mean occurred
in 1964; if continued, such an increase would
suggest the possibility of cyclic influences

In the study, 35 participants each analyzed 10
slides of selected air particulates permanently
mounted in a solid plasticizer. Slides 1 through
7 contained a single particulate, while slides 8
and 9 contained three each, and slide 10 con-
tained 9 particulates. Of 770 possible correct
identifications that could be made by the 35
participants analyzing the 10 slides, 247 correct
identifications were made. Among the partici-
pants identifying these particulates, those
using a polarizing microscope and a range of
magnifications did better than those not doing
so. Whereas most of the participants did
reasonably well in estimating the size of the
particulate on slide number 2, most did very
poorly in estimating the percent by weight of
each component on slides 8. 9, and 10.
Although no text or standard method on
identification of atmospheric particulates ex-
ists, the overall results of the study were very
good. (Author)

A study of the concentrations of lead in the at-
mospheres of Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and
Philadelphia was conducted jointly by industri-
al, State, Federal, and university groups during
the period June 1961 through May 1962. In each
city, from four to eight sampling stations,
representing four geographical and land-use
classifications (rural, residential, commercial,
and industrial) were operated continuously with
membrane filter samplers. In addition, at one
station of each classification in each city, diur-
nal variations were investigated by use of
sequential tape samplers. In each city samples
of blood and urine were obtained from selected
groups of residents and examined for concen-
trations of lead. All samples were analyzed by
the dithizone method. Approximately 3,400
samples of particulate lead from the at-
mosphere were obtained, and the concentra-
tions of lead in blood of approximately 2,300 in-
dividuals and of lead in urine of 1,700 males
were determined. Details of the study and the
results obtained are reported. (Author)

The report is based on the numerous technical
and scientific papers resulting from a major
study of air pollution and effects made in Nash-
ville, Tennessee, by the Public Health Service,
Vanderbilt University, and state and local agen-
cies during 1958-59. These papers have been
supplemented by field investigations to
complete the background information needed
for preparation of an air resource management
program plan. The report summarizes a number
of the technical and scientific papers and uses
all of them to develop new concepts as well as
unify new and old approaches to air pollution
control in preparation of the air resource
management program plan. Air quality goals
and the means to reach those goals are sug-
gested. Supporting data are provided and
methodology adapted for relating air quality
goals to control of emissions. Methods for pre-
dicting air pollutant levels by use of mathemati-
cal models are presented. Public opinion sur-
vey results and their implications for the air
resource management program are given. The
report has specific use for development of an

Since the first kraft mill came into existence in
1891, the potential odor problem has been well
recognized. Accordingly, a great deal of litera-
ture has been published describing practical
and theoretical work in the field of kraft mill
odor control. Some progress has been made,
but even today most kraft mills are faced with
serious problems of atmospheric pollution. An
annotated bibliography is provided of articles
concerning measurement and control of kraft
mill air-borne pollution currently available in
the literature. It is intended that this should pro-
vide a retrospective view of what has been ac-
complished and should form a sound basis for
further work in the field. In addition to 154 ab-
stracts, this bibliography contains a description
of the kraft pulping process, a survey of mill
emissions, and a consideration of control mea-
sures. (Author)

For surveillance studies, comparison of activity
levels in soil and sediment samples is usually
difficult, particularly for 'grab' samples,
because of the wide variability in composition
of both soil and sediment samples. Thus,
radioactivity levels of sediment samples, for ex-
ample, are likely to be a function of sample
composition rather than of the amount of
radioactivity present in the ambient water. For
this reason, care at each step of the procedure-
-sample collection, preparation, and analysis-
is vital for quantifying the radionuclide content
of geologic and hydrologic materials. These
studies were conducted to determine whether
some active portion of a 'grab' sample, easily
separated from the inert part of the sample,
would provide a sensitive and reproducible in-
dicator of radiocontamination in the environ-
ment. Although the experimental material for
these studies consisted of soil and sediments
from eastern Massachusetts, it is believed that,
when standardized, the method will provide a
useful and sensitive indicator for monitoring
bottom sediments in general. (Author)

tained with a single-component column when a
prior separation of the pesticides by passage
through a florisil or alumina chromatographic
column was made before injection on the gas

While public health laws have been in existence
for many centuries, the legislative history of
protection against ionizing radiation is recent.
The U.S. Advisory Committee on X-ray and
Radium Protection in 1929 initiated recom-
mended standards for radiation protection. The
standards developed, expanded, and revised
subsequently, served as the basis for Federal
legislation in conjunction with the atomic ener-
gy program of the 1940's. State legislatures and
public health authorities also, responding to
the same needs felt on the federal level, have
greatly increased the radiation protection role
of State and local governments within the past
decade. Amendments to the U.S. Atomic Ener-
gy Act in 1959, permitting States to assume cer-
tain regulatory functions administered by the
Atomic Energy Commission, have further
stimulated State programs. This report is a
summary of developments over the past decade
in State legislation and regulations affecting
radiation protection or control. It also includes
tabulations by States of enacted, proposed but
not passed, and not completed legislation (this
last a valuable indicator of current trends) for
the calendar year 1965.

Standards of performance for film badge ser-
vices are of general concern to film badge ser-
vices, users of these services, and regulatory
agencies. A quality control program self-im-
posed by film badge services, but involving all
of these groups, is described. Approximately
2,000 film badges were irradiated with various
types and energies of radiation. Exposures
ranged from 0.002 to 497 roentgens. Film badge
services helped design the test procedures,
submitted badges for exposure, interpreted ex-
posures, and assisted in determining provi-
sional performance control limits. All services
were informed of the test procedures to be used
in the test. These error factors are tabulated to
show the accuracy of the film badge services
tested. Frequency distributions of the error fac-
tors served as the basis for selection of control
limits used to define acceptable performance.
Administrative procedures for periodically
evaluating film badge service performance and
for recognizing acceptable performance are
also described. (Author)

Two experimental smoke stacks were con-

optical properties and visual effects over a wide
range of illuminating and viewing conditions.
Results indicate that visual effects are not in-
trinsic properties of the plumes but vary with
the background of the plume and with illu-
minating and viewing conditions. Variation was
much greater with white plumes than with
black. Tests conducted with trained smoke in-
spectors showed that their evaluations of non-
black smoke plumes were significantly in-
fluenced by these variations. The angular scat-
tering and transmission characteristics of the
experimental plumes were measured and esti-
mates of particle size derived therefrom. The
study shows that the quantity of aerosols in a
plume is best evaluated optically by its trans-
mittance. Special methods for measuring the
transmittance of smoke plumes objectively are
discussed. The methods involve
telephotometry, photography, and photometry
of targets; the use of smoke guides; and laser
measurements. (Author)

Rates of emissions of polynuclear hydrocar-
bons were measured at several sources con-
sidered likely to produce such emissions. The
sources included heat generation by com-
bustion of coal, oil, and gas; refuse burning in-
dustrial processes; and motor vehicles. The an-
nual emissions of benzo(a)pyrene in the United
States were estimated for each of the sources
surveyed, to provide a rough gauge of the im-
portance of each source. Small, inefficient re-
sidential coal-fired furnaces appear to be a
prime source of polynuclear hydrocarbons;
other sources may be of local importance.
Production of polynuclear hydrocarbons was
generally associated with conditions of in-
complete combustion. (Author)

Waste-Treatment Processes (AWTR). A variety
of methods have been used to remove part of
the pollutants from wastewater before it is
discharged. In many situations, existing
methods are not adaquate to provide the
degree of treatment required to control pollu-
tion effectively. Research in waste treatment is
being directed at developing methods ranging
from lower-cost or higher-efficiency versions of
conventional treatment technology to total
wastewater purification systems capable of
removing virtually all pollutants and even of
producing reusable effluents. The Federal
Water Pollution Control Administration's
research in this area covers the entire field of
waste treatment including treatment of indus-
trial wastes, with special emphasis given to
waste-treatment methods capable of total pol-
lution control and purification of wastewater for
deliberate reuse. This subseries, Waste-Treat-
ment Processes, contains reports on results of
this research by the Administration. (Author)

Data were obtained on the physical, chemical,
and ecological distribution of four
radionuclides added to a small pond. The con-
ditions were comparable to those in an ac-
cidental release of radionuclides to an im-
poundment. Cobalt 60, zinc 65, strontium 85,
and cesium 137 were added to a 30,000-gallon
pond, with a sand substrate, and containing ex-
perimental biota. After 4 days, 10 percent of the
cobalt 60, 6 percent of the zinc 65, and 5 per-
cent of the cesium 137 remained in solution.
Cobalt 60 and zinc 65 were associated prin-
cipally with suspended solids, and cesium 137
with bottom sediments. In general, soft parts of
biota rapidly accumulated more radionuclides
than hard parts, but gradually lost radioactivity
as radionuclida concentrations in the water
decreased. Clam and snail shells and fish bone
usually accumulated zinc 65 and strontium 85
until almost the end of the experiment. The
maximum observed accumulation of strontium
85 occurred in the crayfish exoskeleton. Max-
imum activities of the other test radionuclides
were observed in the tadpoles.

Radium 226 and radon 222 were measured
using a deemanation method in which the
gaseous daughter, radon 222. is collected and
analyzed by an alpha-scintillation method.
'Emanating radium 226' from particles of soil in
clay type soils varied from 0.342x10 to the- 12th
power grams per gram of dry soil to 0.690x10 to
the - 12th power grams per gram. Sandy soils
varied between 0.147x10 to the - 12th power to
0.244x10 to the - 12th power. Highest activity
measured was 14.3x10 to the - 12th power
grams of 'emanating radium 226' per gram of
dry soil containing uranium ore. Emanation
from ground in Champaign County, III., for 216
measurements, was (140 plus or minus 73) x10
to the - 18th power curies of radon 222/sq
cm/sec. Other soils released similar values of
radon 222 except at locations where uranium
238 is available in commercially significant
amounts. Release of radon 222 from the leaves
of corn (Zea mays L.) about midday and near
the growth peak was approximately 2.6 times
that of the soil under the corn at Argonne Na-
tional Laboratory in one series of six tests.
Radon 222 concentrations in the atmosphere
were measured in eight series of 24-hour tests.

occur have never been adequately defined. It
was the objective of this brief study to provide

The Public Health Service, through the Division
of Air Pollution, has investigated the feasibility
of reducing the sulfur content of coals by
generally known coal preparation methods
together with known costs through case stu-
dies. This has been under Contract No. PB 86-
65-29, dated December 15, 1964. By
'desutfurization1 in this study, is meant the
removal or lowering of the sulfur content of
American coals through known methods of
crushing, washing, and various processes other
than changing the solid nature of coal, such as
through chemical decomposition into gaseous
and liquid products. This study is not involved
with the removal of sulfur from flue gases.
Since the main source of sulfur dioxide air pol-
lution from coal is the result of its use as 'steam'
coal, this study largely concerns itself with
United States steam coals as distinct from coals
used for metallurgical or coking purposes.
Work under this contract involved a study of the
production, distribution and end use of bitu-
minous and lignitic coals; a study of the proxi-
mate analyses of the major coal beds in the
United States; a study of the sulfur forms in
these major coal beds; an estimate of the
reserves and location of high sulfur coal beds;
case studies of current coal preparation prac-
tices in preparing steam coals including current
costs and suggested methods of coal prepara-
tion, using the most modern available equip-
ment together with an estimate of costs for
such treatment based upon a 1,000 ton per hour
capacity plant. (Author)

As is well-known much of the electric utility
coal is not cleaned at all, but is received as raw
(usually crushed or screened to minus 1-1/2
inches) run-of-mine. Some of it is partially
cleaned to remove the larger pieces of rock.
Electric generating stations placed at the mine
site are usually fed raw or partially cleaned
crushed coal. Completer preparation plants
usually produce other sizes such as various
sizes of stoker and nut or furnace coal,
shipping the finer sizes or various composites
to the electric utilities. As the markets for these
various sizes diminish, the trend is towards one
product -- utility coal, and with this is combined
the unit or integral train concept for lower rail
transportation costs. In each of the case studies
actual plant costs are used, where possible.
There is a wide divergence in both capital and
operating costs. There are various reasons for
this such as, differences in type of equipment
used, location, capacity, sizes of coal
produced, degree of cleaning, handling of
fines, thermal drying, extent of automation and
the age of the plant. (Author)

Louisville, Kentucky, like many other American

pollution problem associated with population

major concern was directed toward smoke and
fly ash from domestic, commercial, and indus-
trial coal combustion. The war and postwar
years witnessed a shift in major concern to a
more heterogeneous type of air pollution in-
volving a variety of gases, fumes, dusts, and
odors characteristic of an urban complex.

were developed for fluid bed and transport
reactor gas-solid contacting. Using the process
models, the economics of the two types of
processes were compared, and operating and
capital costs estimated. Also, the kinetics of the
sorption process were measured and found to
be pore diffusion controlled over most of the
possible range of sorbent loadings. A rate
model describing the sorption process was
developed. The rates of regeneration of spent
sorbent were also measured. The kinetic data
were used as inputs to the process models

cers Creamery Company, Lebanon, Mo. The
removal rate of the process was better than 90
percent. The taste of the treated milk compared
favorably with regular milk. Nutritional values
were altered somewhat, but animal feeding stu-
dies showed no deleterious effects on growth
or general health as a result of known changes
in the processed milk. The system included
storage tanks, ion exchange resin columns, a
high-temperature short-time pasteurizer, time
and step controllers, and pH controls. Papers
were presented on laboratory studies of ion

This report describes a pilot survey conducted
in Pinellas County, Florida, in November 1967,
to evaluate methodology and techniques for
use in determining the effectiveness of the
General Electric Company's color television
receiver modification program and in assessing
the total radiation emission situation for televi-
sion sets of all manufacturers. The primary ob-
jective of this survey was to evaluate the effec-
tiveness of the Company's modification pro-
gram to replace shunt regulator tubes which
were emitting radiation in a downward beam.

This report presents findings of a survey of X-
radiation emissions from color television
receivers. The survey was undertaken after a
pilot survey in Pinellas County, Florida,
designed to measure the effectiveness of a
shunt regulator correction program, indicated
radiation emissions were occurring from com-
ponents common to the industry. The purpose
of this survey was to obtain information on the
X-ray emission of television receivers of all
manufacturers included in a sample of color
television receivers in use in the homes of
public health service employees in the
Washington, DC area. Manufacturer represen-
tatives assisted in obtaining set identification
and made measurements of the household line
voltage and the operating high voltage in the
television receivers examined. The representa-
tives also replaced certain high voltage tubes
and made other adjustments to reduce radia-
tion emissions in any set exceeding the level
recommended by the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements.

The State of South Carolina has a wide attrac-
tion for a variety of industries as witnessed by
an increased diversification of industrialization
in recent years. Our problem is to explore the
specific types of industries most attracted to
the Three County Area as differentiated from
the remainder of the State. Without regard for
the obvious advantages of this area these may
well be examples of those industries most com-
mon to the State as a whole in a sort of 'spinoff
operation. These are recounted elsewhere. In-
dustries attracted to the rest of the State, of
course, might also be attracted to the Three
County Area. (Author)

This is the eighth collection of papers prepared
under the guidance of the Committee on Air
Pollution of the USSR Public Health Inspec-
torate. The collection contains papers ap-
proved by the Committee in 1962-1963. The
first paper Is devoted to the determination of
norms for atmospheric pollutants. Some of the
articles present new experimental material for
the determination of maximum permissible at-
mospheric air concentrations of waste
products discharged into the air by new indus-
tries producing synthetic materials. One article
on new synthetic material deals with chromium
toxicity and its significance as an atmospheric
pollutant. New substances obtained in the
course of investigating chloroprene are
described. Some articles are devoted to the
combined action of atmospheric pollutants.
The volume contains two articles discussing
methods for the determination of atmospheric
pollutants and by outlining statistical methods
for processing experimental data. The appen-
dix contains a revised and expanded list of
maximum permissible concentrations and
provisional method for computing dipersion of
industrial wastes, such as ashes and sulfur
dioxide, discharged into the atmosphere
through their smoke stacks by elect! re power,
heat and light stations.

The report discusses in detail the broad subject
of water and wastewater sludge handling and
disposal. Sludge handling and disposal
procedures are reviewed and evaluated by
discussing methods, materials and equipment
used today and in the past. Thus, the report
provides an information base and suggestions
for new approaches to the sludge treatment art
for use by researchers, design engineers, and
operators of treatment facilities. The material is
presented in the same sequence as solids
processing steps used at treatment plants. The
text begins with the grit chamber and ends with
ultimate sludge disposal. A major conclusion
from the report is: additional support should be
given to the research and development of better
ways to treat the solid portion of wastewaters,
after separation from the liquid. Eight other
major conclusions of the report are: (1) Stan-
dardized accounting and reporting procedures
are needed. (2) Sludge handling and disposal
should be integrated into the total wastewater
treatment system. (3) Wastewater sludge
disposal could be considered as a part of total
solids-disposal system that includes refuse and
other solid wastes. (4) Incineration is a promis-
ing ultimate disposal technique. (5) Mechanical
dewatering systems are replacing more primi-
tive dewatering systems. (6) There is a trend to
ocean disposal of sludge by coastal or near-
coastal cities. (7) Raw sludge handling is
becoming more popular. (8) The cost of ulti-
mate sludge disposal for most installations
ranges from $5 to $55 per ton of dry solids.

water quality of an unpolluted and polluted
estuary. The Waccasassa Estuary located in
Florida represents about as near an unpolluted
and unregulated estuarine system as can be
found. During the course of the Waccasassa
study nearly every extreme of flow charac-
teristics was experienced. Sampling was con-
ducted under flow conditions at Stations vary-
ing from 55 to 3540 cubic feet per second. A
total of 12,621 chemical analyses and 2,390
bacteriological analyses were made. These,
together with data from rainfall, stream gaging.
and tide recording stations, represent the basic

This report is directed toward elucidating the ir-
reversible reactions in the amine-sulfur dioxide
system and explores potential methods of
chemically recovering the sulfur values. This ef-
fort is successful insofar as insight is gained
into the reactions of sulfur dioxide in amines at
elevated temperatures and a better perspective
of the required recovery processes is achieved.
Furthermore, in order to gain a perspective of
the economics of the modified amine process,
engineering cost estimates are carried out for
potential process schemes involving chemical
recovery. A significant result of this research
work was the observation of the dispropor-
tionation of the absorbed sulfur dioxide in the
amine into di- and polythionates, for example,
according to the following overall equation 20
SO2 +8 H2O yields 6 S2O6(2-) +S3O6(2-) +
S5O6(2-) +16 H(f This reaction might have
ramifications extending to a variety of sulfur
dioxide sorption processes In the temperature
range of stack gases (200 to 350F). This report,
therefore, includes both a discussion of the
evidence for this reaction occurring in the
amine system and a brief review of some known
chemistry of the sulfur species produced.

This Quarterly Report is prepared and issued by
the Duquesne Light Company to disseminate
information relative to all significant activities
conducted at the Shippingport Atomic Power
Station. Consistent with the premise that
Shippingport was built to provide information
and not power at competitive costs, this report
makes no effort to analyze power production
costs and makes no deductions regarding costs
which might be achieved if Shippingport had
been built and operated solely to produce
power, (Author)

housing location and transportation needs, as
well as the means of alleviating transport de-
pendence through the provision of new
systems, and redesign of current systems such
as mass transit, taxis, jitneys as well as novel

redistribution and transportation were well
developed themes. Various experimental ef-
forts under the Urban Mass Transportation pro-
gram were described. The concern with the
budgetary limitations of such programs was ex-
pressed. No definitive answers were found.

A mobile breath radon detection apparatus has
been used for measuring low radium 226 body
burdens. The unique feature of the apparatus is
an acclimation room designed to accommodate
subjects for periods up to 1 week in a low-radon
environment. Radon concentrations in the ac-
climation room have been reduced to an
operating level of 0.0005 pCi per liter, a reduc-
tion of approximately 600:1, by an air
processing unit employing activated coconut
charcoal. This apparatus permits determination
of very low radium 226 body burdens in com-

evaluation of possible methods of measuring
the UV radiation important in photochemical
reactions and to obtain preliminary data on the
UV radiation energy with respect to location,
elevation, and time of day. Measurements were
made on five days at various levels of air pollu-
tion ranging from no smog to moderate-to-
heavy smog. The report is a compilation of data
obtained by the several participants, with brief
accounts of Instrumentation and procedures.
The instrumental sensors used to detect th'e UV
radiation were filter photocell, filter phototube,
photochemical sensors, photosensitive plastic,
and photochromic glass. Air quality and
meteorological data for the sampling periods
are also presented. A discussion and summary
relates the data obtained in measurements by
the different methods and at the various; loca-

The study reviews and compares suitable
processes for recovering byproducts and fuel
value from coal refuse. It was conducted in two
phases. In the first, a number of methods for
recovering products were investigated. In
phase II, the more promising methods were in-
vestigated in greater detail. Results are
generally positive and indicate that the selected
process could economically utilize coal refuse
under certain conditions. It also shows that
process improvements are possible which
could further help the overall feasibility.

Infrared spectroscopy was applied to the study
of gas-solid interactions between sulfur diox-
ide in a simulated flue gas and various solid ab-
sorbents. In situ spectroscopic studies have
been conducted in a high-temperature infrared
cell up to 300C. By measuring the integrated in-
tensities of the sulfate absorption band of the
reacted product, it was possible to calculate the
rates at which limestone adsorbed sulfur diox-
ide from a simulated flue gas at 262C. An activa-
tion energy of 11.8 kcal/mole was calculated for
the adsorption process. These studies com-
bined with the recorded spectra of various
limestone samples before and after exposure to
sulfur dioxide at 750 and 1800F. showed that
the most probable reaction mechanism of sam-
ples exposed at 750F. was adsorption of sulfur
dioxide as sulfite and the oxidation of the sulfite
to sulfate. At temperatures above 1800F.. the
oxidation of sulfite to sulfate was very rapid and
only sulfate was detected in the spectrum of the
reacted samples. In addition, a proposed
design is presented for conducting the infrared
studies in the 1600 - 2000F. temperature region.
Preliminary investigations were also conducted
on the mechanism of dead-burning. The results
have shown that the silicates probably play a
role in the dead-burning process. (Author)

tolerance, Safety, Pathology, Enzymes,
Coherent radiation.
Concern over the hazards of exposure to laser
radiation has resulted in the establishment of
guidelines for human exposure by several
agencies. Owing to the incompleteness of
knowledge concerning biological effects, par-
ticularly long-term ones, It is not possible to set
firm protection standards at this time. Current
guides are based upon the minimum dose
required to produce a visible lesion. These
threshold values may vary depending upon the
criteria by which they are measured. For the
eye, threshold damage has been determined by
such varying means as ophthalmoscopy, light
microscopic histology, histpchemical study,
and electroretinography. In histochemlcal stu-
dies, impairment of enzyme activity was ap-
parent when the energy level of the light beam
had been reduced by 10 to 15% below threshold
for ophthalmoscopically visible or histologi-
cally detectable lesions. This raises the
question of how damage in the human might be
demonstrated below levels that are clinically
apparent. (Author)'

Pilot plant tests have been made to evaluate the
effectiveness of raw, hydrated and calcined
limestones and dolomites injected into the flue
gases to reduce sulfur dioxide concentration.
The effects of additive fineness, temperature of
injection and injection rate were also in-
vestigated for selected additives. The influence
of limestone and dolomite on fly ash strength
and on coal ash slag viscosity and fusion tem-
peratures has been determined to evaluate the
effect on ash deposition on furnace walls and in
tube banks. The Influence of additives on the
ash collection properties as determined by bulk
and in situ resistivity measurements has also
been determined. Hydrates were somewhat
more effective than the raw stones and effec-
tiveness did not decrease when they were in-
jected into lower gas temperatures. The
hydrates as a class had greater specific surface
areas than the raw limestone prepared in the
normal manner. This could be one factor affect-
ing their effectiveness, and tests with the raw
additives indicated that increased fineness im-
proved performance. (Author)

THE NEED FOR STANDARDIZATION

It is recognized and emphasized that ionizing
radiation is one of the most valuable and essen-
tial diagnostic tools of medicine. Every effort
should be made to enhance the beneficial uses
of this source of energy while minimizing its
harmful effects. It is estimated that more than
90% of man-made exposure to ionizing radia-
tion arises for medical diagnosis and that a
large fraction of this represents unnecessary
exposure. This perhaps is what we could expect
when we realize that a large fraction of those in
the medical profession who authorize, super-
vise and administer these x-ray examinations
do not have the education, training and certifi-
cation in its use. As a consequence, much of
the equipment and many of the techniques em-
ployed do not meet minimum standards
required for the protection of the patient. By
standardization of the procedures employed in
the application of diagnostic x-rays for the
rather routine applications, a marked reduction
can be made in the patient dose while at the
same time providing more and greater detailed
diagnostic information on the radiogram.

This report discusses the progress achieved
during the first part of a two-phase systems
study of nitrogen oxide control methods for sta-
tionary sources. A broad literature survey deal-
ing with NOx emissions, potential control
techniques, and pertinent technical information
was completed. The literature survey was com-
plemented by field survey contacts, which led
to additional information on NOx emissionsn
and control technique possibilities. For com-
bustion sources, preliminary estimates for the
U.S. showed about 55% of the current NOx
emissions resulting from stationary sources.
The contribution of power generation to uncon-
trolled stationary NOx emissions was projected
to increase from 45% in 1965 to 57% in 1980
and 64% in 2000. Existing control technology
for NOx emissions is quite limited. A number of
potential NOx control methods have been
identified. Combustion modification
techniques have been found to be attractive
because of their relative simplicity and low cost.
These modifications of operating parameters
and design features affect the factors influenc-
ing NOx emissions from combustion equip-
ment, such as lowering peak flame temperature
and the supply of oxygen. NOx control
techniques by removal from stack gases have
also been studied in detail. While the
established technology is very limited, some
methods have been identified which may pro-
vide simultaneous control of sulfur and
nitrogen oxides if technical and economic
feasibility can be demonstrated. (Author)

A feasibility study was made of the use of physi-
cal methods for separating S02 from flue gas.
The study included both direct removal
techniques and physical techniques for con-
verting S02 to a more easily removable form
such as SO3. It was found to be technically
feasible to directly separate SO2 from flue gas
by gaseous diffusion, permeation, centrifuga-
tion, mass spectrometry, vortex tube, and
Joule-Thompson condensation. Condensation
by surface heat exchangers or by the use of an
expansion turbine does not appear to be
technically feasible because of operating
problems. The conversion of SO2 to SO3 by
electrical excitation was demonstrated to be
technically feasible and there are indications
that such conversion could also be accom-
plished by electromagnetic excitation and
nuclear radiation excitation. It was found that a
magnetic field selectively affects the molecular
diffusivity of different molecular species How-
ever, at the pressures considered for this appli-
cation, extremely strong magnetic fields would
be required to get a slight effect. All of the
processes for direct separation of SO2 which
were found to be technically feasible were
found not to be economically feasible by a sub-
stantial margin, and the physical processes for
conversion of S02 to SO3 were shown to have
minimum (theoretical) energy 'requirements
which were excessive. (Author)

A PERSPECTIVE ON POTENTIAL RADIATION

The discussion attempts to show where
opinions on potential radiation hazards are
based on fact, extrapolation, or pure specula-
tion. It is obvious that the low dose effects of
radiation postulated are almost entirely based
on extrapolation and speculation. This discus-
sion also attempts to show that, assuming the
extrapolations performed are valid (which they
most certainly are not), the magnitude of any
potential hazard of medical x-ray to general
public under current radiological practice is al-
most unobservable. The author emphasizes
that this does not mean that safety precautions
need not be observed but rather that, if they are
utilized and unnecessary x-radiation is
eliminated, the public should have no fear of
potential consequences of medical x-rays.

Tests were made to evaluate the effectiveness
of six selected solid sorbent materials in remov-
ing sulfur dioxide (S02) from coal combustion
gases in a chain grate-fired furnace. Effects of
additive feed rate, particle size, and injection
temperature were studied. Calcination and cal-
cium oxide utilization were determined. The
sorbents used in this investigation were an
aragonite. a calcite, two types of dolomite, and
a chalk. Red mud, the dried tailings from the
namufacture of alumina from bauxite, was also
tested. Sulfur dioxide removal ranged from 6 to
65 per cent depending upon operating condi-
tions. Sorbants compared on a per-unit-weight-
of-raw-stone basis show that the calcites and
aragonile removed greater amounts of S02
than the dolomites. Sorbent 1683, an aragonite,
was the most effective of all materials tested
when injected into the gas stream. However, it
was relatively ineffective when mixed with the
coal prior to combustion. It was found that S02
removal increases with increasing sorbent feed
rates. (Author)

The reaction of 502 with limestones, dolomites,
and limes was studied under simulated boiler
conditions with the dispersed-phase reactor.
This reactor provides for injection of limes or
stones into a flue-gas stream. As in the case of
injection into a power boiler, the particles are
dispersed in the gas; also, as in a boiler, the
samples are near room temperature when in-
jected, and must heat up (and calcine in the
case of raw stones) before reacting with the
SO2 present. Conditions differ from those in a
boiler in that the walls are kept hot to maintain
relatively constant gas temperature, and the
samples are small compared with the amount of
gas so that the SO2 level remains essentially
constant. The results of the current work pro-
vide at least a qualitative understanding of the
overall reaction trajectory of the Iimestone-S02
reaction and a possible connection between
the results of the relatively long-term experi-
ments carried by others and the short-term ex-
posure in the dispersed-phase reactor or in a

be integrated into the flue gas ductwork of an
existing coal-fired boiler. Alkalinity will be sup-
plied by injecting pulverized limestones or

Seventeen metal oxides, on one or more sup-
porting oxides, were evaluated for their sorbing
and regenerating characteristics. The sorbents
investigated were for the most part made by co-
precipitation of the hydroxides of the 'active'
and 'supporting' oxides followed by calcining,
analogous to the preparation of alkalized alu-
mina. Several catalyst supports impregnated
with the 'active oxide' as well as commercially
available materials were also evaluated. The ex-
tent and rate of sorption and regeneration of
these materials was determined by following
the weight change of a sample exposed to a
synthesized typical flue or regenerating gas
with time. On comparison one finds that some
of the copper oxide-alumina and manganese
oxide-alumina sorbents give generally good
performance as sorbents. (Author)

Recent interest in dry sorption processes for
SO2 removal from hot stack gases has led to in-
vestigation of tho concept of a dry granular bed
device used as a simultaneous SO2 sorber-
flyash collector for power station flue gases. In
these devices, an SO2 sorber such as alkalized
alumina would also act as the granular collect-
ing particles for flyash. A survey was un-
dertaken in order to identify the most likely can-
didates among granular bed devices for power
plant services. Most of the devices considered
were panel filters, in which granular material
filled a narrow vertical shaft. Mathematical
models for S02 sorption on alkalized alumina
were developed for counterflow, crossflow, and
fixed bed contactors. Calculations using these
models indicated that there was no critical
problem with regard to removal of SO2 at con-
ditions which the developer of a particular
device considered good for dust collection.
Mechanical layouts were developed to enable
preliminary comparative cost estimates to be
arrived at. Cost estimates were made for the
devices considered both as sorber-collectors
and as dust collectors alone. Values of both
capital and operating costs for the granular
devices were of the same order as published
estimates for other S02 removal systems. Esti-
mated costs for granular devices as dust collec-
tors alone were of the order of cost for electro-
static precipitation equipment. (Author)

The report presents the results of a study to
determine the applicability of metal oxides to
the development of new processes for S02
removal. The oxides of 48 metals were screened
according to the thermodynamics of their reac-
tion with sulfur oxides to eliminate from con-
sideration as potential sorbents those oxides
that were not capable of reducing the sulfur
oxide concentration in exiting flue gas of power
plants to 150 ppm. Thermodynamtc studies
resulted in an extensive compilation of experi-
mentally determined and estimated ther-
modynamic data. The result of the ther-
modynamic screening process was reduction
of the field of potential sorbents to the oxides of
sixteen metals, most of which appear in Groups
VI, VII, and VIII of the periodic table. The
remaining potential sorbents were prepared in
a kinetically active form and the rates of their
reaction with S02 in a simulated flue gas at-
mosphere were determined using isothermal
gravimetric methods. The economic feasibility
studies consisted of equipment design and siz-
ing and estimation of the capital investment
and gross annual operating cost for a sorber-
regenerator system using a fluidized bed
model. (Author)

One of the detriments to limestone or dolomite
injection is the increase in solid wastes
produced since the amount of flyash to be
disposed of would be approximately doubled.
Moreover, the flyash produced would be of little
value in conventional flyash utilization schemes
because of the large increases in lime, magne-
sia and sulfur. Two developments of this study
involving concentration to recover lime and
melting to yield sulfur derivatives and mineral
wool have been linked together to form a
preliminary conceptual plan for an Emission
Control Minerals Complex (ECMC) to utilize all
parts of modified flyash. The ECMC process in-
volves slurrying modified flyash with water fol-
lowed by carbonation of the slurry to convert
unreacted lime and magnesia to their car-
bonate form, concentration of lime from the
carbonated modified flyash by agglomerate
flotation for reinjection into the furnace, melt-
ing of the concentration rejects for the manu-
facture of such products as mineral wool, and
recovery of the relatively clean and more con-
centrated sulfur gases evolved from the melt for
the manufacture of such products as sulfuric
acid. In addition to the ECMC process several
other potentially successful utilization methods
were tested It was determined that modified
flyash had advantages over lime for acid mine
drainage neutralization because of decreased
sludge settling and filtering time. (Author)

particle size, flush-gas composition, gas flow
rates, and the forms of sulfur in the coal. The
objectives of the work were to determine
kinetics of desulfurization of coal as an aid to
the design, operation, and the evaluation of

organic sulfur with hydrogen: the reaction of
pyrite with hydrogen to form sulfide; and the

The report describes a detailed library search
and selection of most promising organic solids
for removing sulfur dioxide from flue gas. and a
preliminary chemical systems analysis for can-
didate S02 removal materials. A principal ac-
complishment of this task was the identification
of a number of waste materials which have high
potential for removal of S02 from flue gases.
Five organic materials were identified which of-
fered promise for removing sulfur dioxide from
flue gases: Cellulosics; Nigrosin; Poly(N-vinyl-
carbazole); Pyrolyzed poly(vinylchloride); and
Pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile). The results of the
preliminary chemical systems analysis demon-
strate that organic solid sulfur dioxide recovery
from flue gases is, in general, economically
feasible where certain criteria are met. The
preliminary chemical systems analysis was
keyed to thermal regeneration of the organic
solids, however, in the case of cellu losic materi-
als chemical reaction and conversion of the
products to useful commodities may also be a
feasible process.

The feasibility of lidar (laser radar) for stack
plume studies is established from the results of
an experimental investigation of plume
behavior from a 245-m power plant stack in
western Pennsylvania. During this study a total
of 175 vertical plume cross sections containing
about 3800 separate lidar observations were
obtained, of which 64 cross sections represen-
tative of various types of plume behavior were
selected for detailed analysis. Each vertical
cross section was built up from 15 to 30 lidar
shots at 5 to 8 second intervals and at elevation
angle increments of 1/3 degrees to 10 degrees.
The selected cross sections are grouped into
series which show the spatial (downwind) and
temporal variations in plume geometry and
relative paniculate concentration distributions.
The factors involved in interpreting the lidar
data in terms of plume rise and diffusion are
discussed and exemplified. Although calcu-
lated plume-rise values agree reasonably well
with the observations, it is clear from inspection
of the cross sections that the important effects
of vertical wind direction shear (plume tilting
and fanning) and vertical changes in stability
(plume trapping) should be taken into account
when predicting plume rise and diffusion. Close
correspondence between plume tops and levels
of increased atmospheric stability was found.
Several cross sections are shown of fumigating
plumes, which occurred frequently. In a tilted
plume, different portions apparently fumigate
at different times. Optimum use of lidar for dif-
fusion studies requires provision for obtaining
30-minute or hourly plume concentration dis-
tributions, as well as allowances for the effect
of the lidar noise level upon plume size.

The City of Erie, Pennsylvania and Hammermill
Paper Company made a study of the joint treat-
ment of domestic sewage and pulp and paper-
making wastes. A pilot plant was constructed
and operated in a series of controlled experi-
ments. Supplemental studies were conducted
in the Hammermill laboratories including the
operation of a bench-scale activated sludge
plant. It was demonstrated that a joint treatment
plant could effectively treat a mixture of
domestic sewage and pulp and paper mill
wastes from HammermiU's Erie Division. A full-
scale joint treatment plant obtained a BOO
removal of approximately 80% in summer
months and 90%-85% in winter months. Prima-
ry treatment achieved a 25% reduction in BOD
and a 60% reduction in suspended solids.
Treatment of mixed wastes by the activated
sludge process required a long solids aeration
period and a relatively low BOD to volatile
solids loading to avoid high sludge volume indi-
cies. (Author)

The primary objective of this feasibility study
was to evaluate the principle of a 'self-cleaning
strainer, self-cleaning filter' concept for the
treatment of combined sewer overflows. The
anticipated goal was to design and construct a
prototype system capable of handling up to
1000 gallons per minute with a B.O.D. reduction
near 60 percent, and with the capability of auto-
matic operation in remote locations. The
strainer and filter systems were evaluated using
the synthetic substrate, primary influent to two
separate municipal treatment plants, fresh
sewage solids and actual combined sewer flow.
It was demonstrated that the strainer model
produced consistent suspended solids removal
rates near 35 percent under highly varying load
conditions, at a flux of 25 gallons per minute
per square foot. (Author)

and the operation of a wastewater treatment

in the magnitudes tested, were not toxic to bac-

for algae growth. Based upon calculations ob-
tained from flow test data, a maximum flow in-
crease of 2.4 times the flow prior to injection
could be obtained is a constant head was main-
tained. Laboratory flow test data indicated that
if flow rates were held almost constant prior to
and during polymer injection, a reduction in the
static head occurred as a result of friction
reduction within the fluid. The most effective
polymers in providing energy reduction were
Polyox Coagulant-701. WSR-301, and AP-30;
however, AP-30 required higher polymer con-
centrations to obtain equivalent flow charac-
teristics. In field tests on a 24-inch diameter
line, it was found that polymer concentrations
of between 35 and 100 mg/l. decreased fric-
tional flow resistance sufficiently to eliminate
surcharges of more than six feet Based upon
an economic analysis, the average annual cost
of new construction was approximately five
times the cost of using polymers during peak
storm-flow periods. (Author)

Annular conduits,
Following a general review of trie analytical and
experimental information on the friction loss
encountered by fluids flowing in annular pipes,
with particular regard to the influence of eccen-
tricity of the inner member, experiments are
described on an evaluation of the friction of
water in a steel annular pipe of diameter ratios
58 and 32 in the Reynolds number range of
100,000 to 1.000,000. It is found that, on a fric-
tion factor basis (in terms of the equivalent
diameter as four times the hydraulic radius),
whereas at the larger ratio the concentric posi-
tion of the insert increases the friction only
about 2 percent, its full eccentric location
results in a decrease of some 15 per cent. On a
discharge basis, however, for the same head
loss in a given length, the flow capacity of the
pipe line is decreased 127 per cent in the con-
centric situation but only 4.5 percent with full
eccentricity. This decrease is not greatly dif-
ferent from the 3 percent reduction in area due
to the inserted smaller pipe. An analysis is in-
cluded showing that for the simple insert at full
eccentricity the near-full-flow capacity of a
sewer is little affected. The effects of hangers
such as might be employed to support inserts in
sewers is found to have an appreciable effect
on the flow capacity of a full-flowing sewer,

The report is an intensive study of the disposal
of wastes from water treatment plants. The
wastes include Miter washwater: sludge result-
ing from coagulation, softening, iron and man-
ganese removal processes: diatomaceous earth
filtration; and ion exchange brines. The control
of pollution from these wastes is a high priority
problem for the water utility industry. A series of
four status reports describe in detail what is
known of the research, engineering, plant
operation, and regulatory aspects of the
problem. A special report reviews current

technology and analyzes costs of disposal
methods, based on data collected from fifteen
operating plants. A conference was organized
to provide expert evaluation of each report and
to extend the data available. Final reports were
prepared by committees of conference partici-
pants to identify future needs for information in
each aspect of the waste disposal problem.
These reports recommend substantially ex-
panded programs of research and demonstra-
tion. They include extensive lists of specific
problems which must be investigated to
develop effective and economical technology.
Committee reports also recommend establish-
ment of a central service to promote the
planning of research and development, and to
implement effective programs of new or im-
proved technology. The service would'collect,
coordinate, and disseminate data on all aspects
of water treatment plant waste disposal
problems. (Author)

A waste treatment process was developed and
tested, in pilot plant scale, for the treatment of
the tannery wastes in combination with mu-
nicipal sewage. The process consisted of the
following steps in the order employed; equaliz-
ing and mixing of the alkaline and acid wastes;
primary sedimentation; carbpnation followed
by upflow sedimentation; addition of screened
municipal sewage activated sludge treatment
and secondary' sedimentation of the mixed
wastes; and chlorination. The sludges resulting
from the treatment of the wastes and sewage
were dewatered by centrifuge and were found
to be suitable for burial. Design factors for the
various steps of the process were developed
and are presented in the attached report. Stu-
dies were made of the fundamental systems
and reactions which form the bases for the
processes employed in the pilot plant. (Author)

Significant progress has been made during the
last few decades in reducing the radiation
hazards (medical and nonmedical) to personnel
patients, and the general public. The NCRP
recommendations and their general adoption
by regulating agencies have played an impor-
tant role in these efforts. There is. however, still
need for additional improvement in diagnostic
x-ray procedures to further minimize the possi-
bility of systemic injuries. Better beam collima-
tion and the elimination of unnecessary and
repetitive radiologic examination should be
considered further. Efforts should also be made
to evaluate and eliminate radiation hazards of
new sources of x-rays emitted as an unwanted
by-product. (Author)

The long-term equilibrium levels of tritium,
krypton-85, and carbon-14 which are accepta-
ble in the environment have been estimated on
the following premises: (1) the three isotopes
reach the environment and equilibrate
throughout it in periods shorter than their half
lives, (2) nuclear detonations and nuclear
power constitute the dominant sources of these
isotopes, (3) the radiation doses from these
three isotopes add to one another and to the
doses from other radioactive isotopes released
to the environment, and (4) the United States,
by virtue of its population, is entitled to 6% of
the world's capacity to accept radioactive
wastes. These premises lead to the conclusion
that U.S. nuclear detonations are limited by car-
bon-14 to 70 megatons per year. The cor-
responding limit for U.S. nuclear power ap-
pears to be set by krypton-85 at 150.000 electri-
cal megawatts, although data for carbon-14
production by nuclear power reactors are not
available. (Author)

This report is the result of six separate in-
vestigations of disposal of municipal refuse by
incineration in the District of Columbia. Heat
and can-metal recovery are examined in depth,
since utilization of by-products Is an important
aspect of solid waste disposal by any method.
The economics of providing such facilities are
also considered in relation to the overall
scheme of the proposed plant. Size reduction
of bulky metal objects and of oversize burnable
waste would contribute greatly to the efficiency
of the plant: however, this would call for instal-
lation of specialized equipment. The economic
practically of utilizing such processes is
discussed. The report includes information re-
garding the potential problem of air pollution.
There is estimation of the chemical con-
stituents of effluent gasses and of the air pollu-
tion hazard. An evaluation of various abatement
devices is also given. All factors, such as per-
formance standards and aesthetic objections,
are reviewed for this feasibility study on the
disposal of municipal refuse in a specific area.

waste management. Objectives of the study
were: to determine an optimum solution to a
solid waste problem; and to develop technolo-
gy for the Fresno region that might be applied
to other areas. To meet these objectives, a
method was developed for measuring the effec-
tiveness of any solid waste system. This method
of measurement was then used to assess
present Fresno conditions and to evaluate al-

Aerospace technology may have led to a unique
basic unit for processing solid wastes and con-
trolling pollution. The Combustion Power Unit-
400 (CPU-400) is designed as a turboelectric
generator plant that will use municipal solid
wastes as fuel. The baseline configuration is a
modular unit that is designed to utilize 400 tons
of refuse per day (the amount of solid wastes
generated by a community of 150- to 200-
thousand population). These 400 tons of refuse
will produce up to 15,000 kilowatts of electric
power. Income from the sale of the electric
power generated by this system may permit a
substantial reduction in the cost of solid waste
disposal. Currently the CPU-400 is in the early
development phase. (Author)

A remote operating Passive Infrared SO2 Sen-
sor was developed. A system of quantitative
measurement for field operation was created
with simplicity of operation and minimum of in-
terference as objectives. The complexities of
the radiative process limit accuracies relative to
laboratory measurements, but were overcome
to the degree that meaningful and practical
measurements are made in the field without
further calculation. While there are limits to the
environmental compensation and rejection, no
other existing means approaches these limits to
the degree of this Passive Infrared SO2 Sensor.
The instrument is a four color radiometer with
an orthogonalized ratio computer which com-
putes the ratio of S02 radiation at 8.7 microns
to the CO2 radiation at 9.4 microns. The spec-
tral overlap for each of four signals is stored in
the sensor's computer The mixed signals (four
component vectors) from the four signal chan-
nels are separated (orthogonalized) by
summing appropriate amounts of each channel
(vector coordinate transformation). Two of the
separated signals (perpendicular vectors) go to
a phase detector which generates a function of
the two components as the arctangent (the vec-
tor sum angle) of the component ratio. The ratio
function is separated from the arctangent func-
tion by the non-linear scale of the panel meter.

Infrared spectral study of industrial stack
plumes was performed to investigate the feasi-
bility of pollution efflux monitoring by remote
observation. The conclusions of this study are:
(1) Measurement of industrial stack pollution
rates is feasible with simple optical systems
using common optical components and rela-
tively inexpensive detectors. However, a degree
of sophistication is necessary in the electronics
to remove the burden of exponential calcula-
tions from the operator/analyst. Such computa-
tions are amenable to state-of-the-art analog
computational techniques. (2) A large number
of a parameters are significant in reception of
radiation from a given plume For a low tem-
perature process this can result in rather com-
plex organics being generated which tend to
clutter the spectra. (3) Pollution densities over
0.3% are readily determined quantitatively for
most gases when the plume temperature is over
200F, when a small to moderate amount of par-
ticulate or other gray body radiation is present.
(4) Coal burning systems produce a minimum
of H20 vapor which obscures S02 to a degree:
coal burning power plants are expected to
show distinct SO2 spectra at densities as low as
50 ppm when the paniculate exhaust is under
control. (Author)

A prototype monitor lor paniculate emissions
from municipal incinerators was designed, built
and field tested. In operation, the instrument is
installed on the stack some distance above the
base to ensure the monitor's presence in a re-
gion of laminar flow. The monitor samples a
predetermined quantity of stack gas either
isokinetically or at a known velocity, separates
the particulate from the gas by means of a
cyclone, and measures the amount of particu-
late collected using a beta gauge. For each
sample, the time of sampling and beta attenua-
tion is printed out on a paper tape at some con-
venient location at ground level. It was con-
cluded that the design concept is suitable for
unattended monitoring operations. It was
shown that the instrument measures stack dust
loading under varying furnace operating and
atmospheric conditions, and that automatic
isokinetic sampling, while feasible, was not an
essential requirement for adequately following
stack loading. (Author)

The Phase II addendum report describes the
laboratory work performed to screen selected
organic solids for ability to remove sulfur diox-
ide from synthetic flue gas, and obtain more
detailed data on the most promising organic
solid (s). A principle accomplishment of the
task was the identification of a number of waste
materials which have high potential for removal
of sulfur dioxide from flue gases. Organic
materials were selected on the basis of: Known
or postulated ability to take up sulfur dioxide:
Price and availability; Thermal stability;
Regenerability; and Mechanical properties.
Five organic materials were selected which
offer promise for removing sulfur dioxide from
flue gases: Cellulosics; Nigrosin; Poly(N-vinyl-
carbazole); Pyrolyzed pply(vinylchloride); and
Pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile). The specific cellu-
losics selected were: waste newsprint, sawdust
and cotton. All seven candidates (this includes
the three cellulosics) were found to be ther-
mally stable in flue gas, while all but nigrosin
were found to take up substantial amounts of
sulfur dioxide from synthetic flue gas streams.
Of the solids which were evaluated, newprint
was found to be the most promising. More
detailed accumulation of data was performed
on newsprint utilizing synthetic flue gases at
temperatures encountered in flue gas streams
(215 - 300F). Newsprint picks up approximately
1 -2% by weight sulfur dioxide in 20 minutes at a
flow rate of ca., 200 vol/hr. Newsprint has a
capacity of approximately 10% SO2 by weight.
Desorption streams of 16-26% by volume sulfur
dioxide are obtained from newsprint at desorp-
tion temperatures of 350-450F. (Author)

This report reviews the medical diagnostic
process involved in determining the pathologi-
cal condition of a patient made on the basis of
available roentgenological information. Several
years ago, a program of work on the physics of
diagnostic roentgenology was established at
the Johns Hopkins University. The general pur-
pose of this program was threefold: (1)to carry
out a fundamental study of the parameters of an
imaging system that affect image quality; (2) to
devise methods to measure these parameters;
and (3) to make available to the field of radiolo-
gy the results of these measurements on ap-
paratus currently available in the United States.
The manner in which the measurements were
analyzed and a summary of the characteristics
of radiographic films and screens currenlty
available in the United States are included.
Detailed, data from the measurements are not
included because of their bulk; these data will
be published as a separate report in the En-
vironmental Health Series. A set of tables and
curves are presented in the appendix of this re-
port to indicate the format in which the data will
be published. (Author)

A new and unexpected partial denitrification of
dilute nitrate ion solutions (10 to 50 ppm NO3(-
)-N) has been achieved by treatment with 8
moles of ferrous sulfate per mole of nitrate in
unbuffered alkaline reactions. The nitrogen
loss, which probably represents evolution of N2
or N20, has been as high as 50%. Total reduc-
tion to lost nitrogen plus nitrite and/or am-
monia has approached 100%. The reduction
takes place in the presence of partially oxidized
black iron hydroxides, and requires catalytic
quantities of cupric ion. Denitrification is sup-
pressed by phosphates, as well as by several
other factors, some as yet unidentified. Silver
ion catalysis or a 16-fold excess of the ferrous
salt permits reduction to ammonia in the
presence of phosphate, but there is no accom-
panying denitrification. (Author)

The overall objective of the program was to
evaluate the feasibility of the expanded-bed
technique for contracting granular activated
carbon with biologically treated sewage ef-
fluent, and to provide a rigorous comparison
between this technique and the conventional
packed-bed mode of operation. The evalua-
tions and comparisons were to be made with
pilot scale adsorbers under actual field operat-
ing conditions. Although secondary effluent
without further pretreatment was of primary in-
terest, the effects of additional clarification
were also to be determined. Clarification
methods included dual media filtration and
chemical treatment followed by dual media fil-
tration. The packed-bed and expanded-bed ad-
sorption systems, operating under comparable
conditions, were found essentially equivalent in
their effectiveness for removal of soluble or-
ganic material from a secondary sewage ef-
fluent. Suspended solids, present to some
degree in all the wastewaters tested, were more
effectively removed by the packed beds. The
expanded beds did, however, removed some
suspended material. Accumulation of
suspended solids caused rapid increase in
head loss in the packed beds, necessitating
frequent cleaning of the carbon in these beds.
Because the expanded beds are not subject to
clogging from accumulated solids, their pump-
ing power and maintenance requirements are
lower than for a packed bed of the same size.
Where the improved suspended solids removal
provided by a packed bed is not required, the
expanded-bed adsorber may be preferred.

A study was made of the effect of ultraviolet
radiation on the rate and extent of chlorine ox-
idation of organic material in highly nitrified ef-
fluents from biological sewage treatment
plants. Ultraviolet radiation will very signifi-
cantly increase the rate of this reaction. Also,
the extent of oxidation which can be achieved
by chlorine combined with UV radiation is
usually much greater than that which can be
achieved by chlorine alone. The rate of the
catalytic oxidation is dependent upon pH, and
the most rapid rate of oxidation and most effi-
cient use of chlorine are obtained at pH 5. The
rate of organic oxidation is not proportional to
the chlorine concentration; however, the rate of
chlorine consumption is. Large excesses of
chlorine do not increase the reaction rate but
simply increase the amount of chlorine
required to eliminate a given amount of organic
matter. The rate and extent of the catalytic or-
ganic oxidation at pH 5 are not significantly af-
fected by temperature. However, both the rate
and extent of catalytic oxidation are substan-
tially reduced by the presence of ammonia in an
effluent. A brief investigation of the scope of the
UV-catalyzed chlorine oxidation indicated that
phenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, glycine, formic acid,
and o-dinitrobenzene are oxidized rapidly and
extensively. On the basis of organic oxidation
rate produced per watt of UV output, high-pres-
sure mercury arcs are about 2.7 times more effi-
cient than low-pressure mercury arcs. Process
costs of 7.2 cent to 11.1 cent/1000 gal. were
estimated, based on several types of commer-
cially available lamps. (Author)

plants. It removes odors and color from water
and destroys pathogenic organisms. Residual
ozone decomposes rather rapidly; it has a half

A selective ion exchange process was
developed for the removal of ammonia nitrogen
from wastewater. The process employs a natu-
ral zeolite, Clinoptilolite. which is selective for
ammonium ions in the presence of sodium,
magnesium, and calcium ions. Regeneration of
the exhausted Clinoptilolite is accomplished
with solutions or slurries containing lime. Lime
provides hydroxyl ions which react with the am-
monium ions to yield an alkaline aqueous am-
monia solution. This ammonia solution is
processed through an air stripping tower to
remove the ammonia which is exhausted harm-
lessly to the atmosphere. The spent regenerant
is then fortified with more lime and recycled to
the zeolite bed to remove more ammonia. Since
the regenerant is not discarded, the process
generates no liquid wastes. The ion exchange
equilibria of four zeolites was investigated and
Clinoptilolite was selected for further study on
the basis of its ammonium ion selectively and
low cost. Operation of the mobile plant with
secondary effluent resulted in ammonia
removals of 97 and 93 percent at 70,000 and
100,000 gallons per day respectively; thus
demonstrating that selective ion exchange pro-
vides a highly effective means for removing am-
monia from wastewater. (Author)

these was appropriate for incorporation in a

mental effort, a compromise on the original
requirements, was an effort to construct a 'total

successful because no way was found to selec-

usually be applied before advanced treatment
methods are required. To assess the present
status of waste water treatment, the type of
treatment now in use and the amount of waste
water discharged were determined for the
major streams in the country. About 4 percent
of 100-mile river basins now have full seconda-

During an earlier program a process for the
treatment of coal mine drainage was conceived,
involving the combined addition of limestone
and hydrogen sulfide to effect precipitation of
iron sulfides (LHS process). The black sludge
formed during treatment undergoes oxidation
at a rate depending on drying conditions with
formation of elemental sulfur. X-ray diffraction
analyses indicate the iron sulfide sludge com-
ponent is an amorphous material. The unstable
nature of the sulfide sludge, possibility of
polysulfide formation during treatment, insta-
bility of mine waters of the type amenable to
treatment, and inadequacies of available gas
metering equipment are among the factors
which militate against the controlled regulation
of hydrogen sulfide feed necessary for success-
ful operation of the process. These factors, and
additional disadvantages revealed by an up-
dated cost evaluation, lead to the conclusion
that the LHS process is less attractive than ac-
cepted methods of mine drainage treatment.

Increased sewage flows during storm condi-
tions in most combined sewer systems dictate
that most or all of the flow be diverted from
treatment facilities directly to the receiving
body because the flow exceeds the treatment
capacity. If a large amount of the solids can be
removed before discharge to the receiving
water, a major part of the pollutional load would
be removed. The feasibility of developing a self-
cleaning, self-adjusting filtering device con-
structed of cylindrical structures of fibers laid
down in predetermined patterns by a winding
process and bonded in place by resins was in-
vestigated. The permeability of the structure is
imparted by a mechanical cracking of crazing
of the resin. Filtration runs showed a 62 percent
reduction of suspended solids in the filtrate.
However, sustained runs could not be realized.
The self-cleaning aspect was not demon-
strated. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to determine if
the lowering of the high water table by pumping
in a given area of the City of Meridian would
eliminate infiltration of ground water to the mu-
nicipal sewers. If the infiltration could be
eliminated, the large volume of sewage flow
that occurs during the irrigation season would
be greatly reduced. The topography, geology,
precipitation, as well as local irrigation pro-
grams are so irregular in character that no
definite criteria could be set up to predict what
would occur in other area. It is concluded that
each area would have to be studied indepen-
dently to decide the depth of well, pump
capacity and local affecting conditions. It is
also concluded that the cost of capital invest-
ment, cost of operation of these pumping pro-
jects in the entire Meridian area to lower the
water table would be too expensive to accom-
plish the purpose of lowering the water table
below the sewers so as to materially decrease
the flow of infiltration water to the sewage treat-
ment plant. (Author)

Aeroallergens (pollens) are airborne materials
which elicit a hypersensitivity response in
susceptible individuals. The two major respon-
ses exhibited are allergic rhinitis and bronchial
asthma. The pollens of wind-pollinated plants
are the most important of the aeroallergens,
and ragweed pollen is commonly found in this
group. Ragweed pollen is the cause of more
than 90 percent of pollinosis in this country.
Other aeroallergens include molds, house dust,
danders, and a miscellaneous group of insecti-
cides, cosmetics, paints, and vegetable fibers.
Most of the aeroallergen investigations have
been concerned with ragweed. Pollen counts
are taken daily in many local areas throughout
the country. These counts are used as
guidelines for anticipating and understanding
the incidence of pollinosis In a given area rather
than as standards. Local programs of ragweed
eradication generally have met with little suc-
cess in controlling pollen concentrations. The
pollen can be windborne for many miles, and
therefore pollen entering a city from the outside
usually is sufficient to cause pollinosis in the
susceptible population. The gravity slide
method has been accepted as the standard
procedure for pollen sampling by the Pollen
Survey Committee of the American Academy of
Allergy. (Author)

Biological aerosols—suspensions of microor-
ganisms in the air—can cause diseases in hu-
mans, animals, and plants and degradation ,of
inanimate materials. The present knowledge
pertaining to the relationships between dose-
effect, viability, survival of microorganisms in
aerosols, and other factors is insufficient for
establishing standards for either indoor or out-
door environmental air concentrations. The
source of most human and animal airborne
pathogens is the host organism that recently
harbored the pathogens. However, since
biological aerosols generally are detrimentally
affected by exposure to the atmosphere, they
are usually found in spaces close to the host.
The abatement and control of biological
aerosols have been successful only in environ-
mentally-controlled indoor spaces. There has
been no adequate way to estimate either the
cost of the effects of biological aerosols, or the
cost of abatement and control. (Author)

Two distinct stochastic models, the Non-
Dispersion Model and the Diffusion Model were
developed for determining the biochemical ox-
ygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO)
probability distribution in an estuary. The mean
BOD and DO concentrations were functions of
time and space, hence the probability distribu-
tions were also temporally and spatially depen-
dent. A computer program was employed to
summarize the results in a concise form so that
it could be used in the overall decision process.
Information for a given point in space was ob-
tained five miles downstream from the source.
The mean BOD and DO levels were obtained for
each.increment of the tidal cycle. The frequen-
cy of the concentration above each critical
value was obtained. A comparison of the nu-
merical results revealed that the traumatic
peaks observed for the non-dispersion model
were obliterated in the diffusion model. In the
light of the numerical results it concluded that
the non-diffusion model was inadequate for
describing the estuary situation. The diffusion
model was verified on water quality survey data
for the Potomac estuary. (Author)

Identifiers: Biochemical oxygen demand, Dis-

A stochastic model was developed and used to
predict the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
and dissloved oxygen (DO) concentrations at
several points downstream of a waste
discharge. The model used provided a joint
density function for both pollution and and dis-
solved oxygen with given initial conditions. The
initial conditions were generalized to permit the
output for one stream segment to be the initial
conditions for the succeeding stream segment.
Interest was focused on the measurement of
the marginal distribution of BOD and DO along
a stream stretch whose parameters may change
at known locations. A computer program
assisted in the calculations to obtain marginal
distributions. The program allowed for changes
in parameter values between one stream seg-
ment and the next and could predict distribu-
tions for any intermediate locations along the
river. The application of this study lay in the
analysis of an entire stream stretch to deter-
mine if it was healthy for the users within cer-
tain preset probabilistic standards. (Author)

The feasibility of multifunctional detection of
NO, CO, and S02 in ambient air, based on the
chemilumlnescent reaction of these pollutants
with atomic oxygen, was studied in a laboratory
prototype detection system. Using this ap-
proach, concentrations as low as 5 ppb NO
have been detected, and laboratory evidence
predicts detection capabilities for S02 to be
below 1 ppb. The CO-0 reaction produced in-
sufficient glow for adequate detection below
approximately 100 ppm. A linear relationship
was established between glow intensity and
pollutant concentration in all cases. Nitrogen
dioxide interfered with NO detection but no
other serious interference problem was ob-
served. Here, the responses of N02 and NO
were identical, and the chemilumlnescent reac-
tion with atomic oxygen provides a sensitive
means for detecting both NO and NO2 in ppb
concentrations. In both the NOx-O and the
SO2-O reactions, the present detection limit
characteristics of the laboratory apparatus can
be significantly enhanced by further optimiza-
tion of the system. (Author)

The reactions of common air pollutants, such
as NO, NO2, and CO, with certain second reac-
tants, such as ozone or O atoms, result in light
emission In a detector based on this principle,
ambient air and the second reactant can be
continuously flown through and mixed in a
reactor under moderate vacuum. After calibra-
tion a continuous record of pollutant concen-
tration can be obtained. Specific sensitivity to a
given pollutant is obtained by a suitable choice
of the second reactant and a light filter. To
demonstrate the feasibility of the method, the
detection of NO using O3 has been studied ex-
perimentally. A linear response from about 4
ppb NO to at least 100 ppm NO is obtained.
N02, C02, CO. C2H4. NH3. S02, and H2O in
concentrations found in polluted air do not in-
terfere with NO monitoring. Based on these
results and data for other chemilumineseent
reactions, it is shown that homogeneous
chemiluminescence monitors for 03, NOx -
NO 4 N02 and CO can probably also be
developed. A comparison of various methods of
photomultiplier tube output measurement has
been made. (Author)

With increasing quantitative and qualitative de-
mands being placed upon national water
resources, improved management practices are
vitally needed. In principle, one powerful
management tool is systems analysis, wherein
mathematical optimizing techniques are em-
ployed to effect rational tradeoffs between
competing demands for water use, but this tool,
in turn, rests upon the availability of
methodologies for quantifying the benefits
(economic value) of each water-use category.
That is, systems analysis, before it can be em-
ployed comprehensively, demands a
knowledge of the functional value of irrigation,
flood control, municipal water supply, etc. Little
is known of the economic implications of low
flow augmentation, one of the important water-
use categories. Beginning with the premise that
the value of low flow augmentation is measured
by sewage treatment costs avoided, a hydrolog-
ic flow simulator and a water quality linear pro-
gramming model were interfaced to develop a
procedure for determining 'willingness topay'
for augmentation. This generalized approach
can be applied by others to their specific water
pollution control situations. (Author)

Mathematical models were utilized to study
water pollution control programs in a river
basin. Sensitivity analyses, with a steady state
model, showed substantial variation of cost for
sewage treatment, depending upon stream pu-
rification parameter selections. When actual
parameters are less favorable than design
values, quality standards may not be met: these
effects are more serious with lower levels of
treatment. An unsteady state model was
developed to trace a time profile at any
specified station in terms of flow and quality
while up-stream discharge, water temperature,
and solar radiation vary. The techniques as-
sume that, for short reaches and/or times,
steady state conditions apply without undue
loss of accuracy. A new empirical procedure
was developed to route unsteady stream flow.
The time varying model was used to investigate
the effectiveness of an assumed configuration
of treatment plants when the stream's assimila-
tive capacity varies with distance and time.
Susceptibility to poorer conditions increases
with higher BOD releases. Lower treatment
levels also result in a greater range of river con-
ditions than high levels. Sensitivity analyses of
stream parameters were also made with the
time varying model. (Author)

A pilot plant1 was designed, constructed and
operated to show the feasibility of providing a
facility for the collection, storage and disposal
of waste from recreational watercraft. An on-
board holding tank was installed in each of ten
boats for total impoundment of all effluent and
for the connection to a dockside sewage collec-
tion system through a quick-connect coupling.
Each boat was provided with a pump, tank and
macerator. At dockside, each boat holding tank
was pumped directly into a piped collection
system. The project demonstrated that on-
board storage of watercraft waste and sub-
sequent discharge to an underwater storage
tank was effective and economical. This project
showed that the discharge of sewage from
boats into rivers, lakes, waterways and estua-
ries could be eliminated. (Author)

sludge growth, oxygen uptake and sludge set-
tleability. Constants were obtained from this
data. Success of the treatment system is re-
ported and the costs of treatment computed. It
is recommended that aerated lagoon treatment
be used where 70 percent removal of BOD is
desired and suspended solids are permissible
in the effluent. Activated sludge treatment is
recommended for greater than 90 percent BOD
removal and where effluent suspended solids
must be minimized. (Author)

The transmission of X-rays through the glass
envelopes of certain types of television tubes.
or through the glass covering X-ray fluoroscop-
ic screens, is influenced by the amount and
type of high atomic number elements in the
glass. Interest in this aspect of the subject was
stimulated by recent findings that color televi-
sion receivers have been shown to emit X-
radiation. These emissions have been found to
originate from picture tubes, shunt regulator
tubes, and high voltage rectifier tubes. When
conducting inspections of equipment where
transmission of X-radiation is in question, it is
useful for the inspector to know the composi-
tion of the glass so that its ability to absorb X-
rays may be estimated. Lead is the element
most commonly used in glass for Its radiation
attenuation A rapid, semi-quantitative method
for the detection and estimation of lead in
glass, suitable for use in the field, has been
developed. It is based on the action of a mixture
of hydrofluoric acid and sodium iodide on lead
contained in glass and ceramics. Important fea-
tures of this test are that the reaction can be
evaluated in a matter of minutes in the field
without causing visible damage to the
specimen, and the elimination of the conven-
tional chemical analysis that is generally per-
formed in the laboratory. It will show at once
whether lead is present in appreciable amounts
or is essentially absent.

The wet lime-SO2 scrubbing process was in-
vestigated on a laboratory scale in support of
full-scale prototype studies. The investigation
consisted of laboratory scale experiments in
the following areas: Measurement of the overall
rate of uptake of S02 In a stirred-pot reactor:
Measurement of the relative rates of hydration
of selected limestones and dolomites; Mea-
surement of the relative rates of dissolution of
selected limestone and dolomite materials;
Chemical analysis of selected dolomite- and
limestone-based liquors prepared at three tem-
peratures. These experiments were designed to
yield qualitative indications of the importance
of individual physical and chemical processes
to the overall limestone-SO2 wet scrubbing
process. The results of the current experiments
indicate that lime in paniculate form reacts
readily with various sulfur species or carbonate
in solution to yield a coating which inhibits
utilization of the bulk of the lime. The two pri-
mary variables studied were the flue gas and
the scrubber-liquor compositions. The results
indicate a strong dependence of hydration rate
on the conditions of calcination of the stone
and particle size. The results also indicate that
the rate of the hydration process is limited by
diffusion of water through the lime particle, and
that over-burning of the lime markedly
decreases hydration rate. Other experiments,
using partically sulfated lirnes or solutions con-
taining SO4(-2), showed that hydration rates
are severely limited by the presence or forma-
tion of a layer of sulfate on the lime particles.
Rates of dissolution of hydrated lime were
determined in a well-stirred system using a cal-
cium ion-specific electrode and a pH electrode
for monitoring the concentrations of Ca(-t-)
and OH(-) in solution. (Author)

The objective of the program was to demon-
strate feasibility, and to develop a workable
configuration for a combined sewer Fluidic
regulator, whose purpose is to minimize com-
bined sewer discharge while protecting inter-
ceptor sewers from overloading during storm
flows. A second objective was to develop
design procedures and criteria for the general
application of this concept to municipal sewer
diversion requirements, including preliminary
investigations of construction methods, costs,
and maintenance requirements A third objec-
tive was to establish a plan and location for an
operational demonstration of the concept with
a cooperating municipality. All objectives were
successfully met. A generic Fluidic Regulator
configuration was evolved which diverts 0 to
75% of the combined sewer flow away from the
interceptor as a function of water level sensed
in the interceptor sewer, or combined sewer, in
either an analog or digital operational mode.
Application design criteria were evolved for a
range of small to medium sized municipal
sewers, in terms of a few basic parameters. Pro-
jected installation costs are only slightly more
than for conventional diversion structures;
while the anticipated construction and main-
tenance requirements are simple and minimal

As early as 1963, Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass ex-
pressed his belief that radiation due to
deposited radionuclides from fallout has in-
creased the burden of diseases, such as leu-
kemia, and altered the trend of infant and fetal
mortality in the United States. More recently,
through public forums, published articles, and
presentations at scientific meetings, Dr. Stern-
glass has given added emphasis to what he
considers a highly significant and disturbing
finding in changing patterns of infant and fetal
mortality, which he has attributed primarily to
levels of 90Sr in the environment. Because of
the magnitude of the problems implied in these
allegations, the Public Health Service con-
ducted an evaluation of the reports written by
Dr. Sternglass. This critique, based primarily on
Dr. Sternglass' report given at the 9th Annual
Hanford Biology Symposium on May 5-8, 1969,
in Richland, Washington, resulted in a failure to
agree with the scientific approach used by Dr.
Sternglass in evaluating the data he has utilized
in his report. (Author)

The report describes the development of
techniques for the preparation of emulsions of
No 2 fuel oil and water. The resulting emulsions
are suitable for firing in the experimental rig
being used by the National Air Pollution Control
Administration to investigate factors influenc-
ing emissions from domestic oil-heating equip-
ment. The wide range of available emulsifying
agents was screened to a workable number by
using the hydrophillc-lipophilic balance (HLB)
concept. A blend of two commercially available
emulsifying agents was identified as satisfacto-
ry for preparing water-in-oil emulsions that
contained up to 53 percent water and were sta-
ble over a 10-week period. Atomization of the
emulsions by a high-pressure nozzle produced
sprays having droplet size distributions similar
to those for No. 2 fuel oil. Emulsions containing
5. 10, 19. 29. and 53 percent water were fired
successfully in a conventional gun-type burner
without modification. (Author)

The report describes the development of
techniques for the preparation of emulsions of
No. 6 residual fuel oil and water. It also includes
the preliminary design of a combustion test rig
for studying the combustion of heavy oils and
emulsions and pollutant emission produced by
burning these fuels. Stable emulsions contain-
ing up to 30 percent water, by weight, were
prepared from 9 samples of residual fuel oils.
No emulsifying agents were required as the oils
apparently contained natural emulsifiers. Emul-
sions containing basic additives were also
prepared. The emulsions did not appear to
break during atomization. The preliminary
design of the combustion test rig showed that a
rig could be constructed to operate with either
combustion intensity or pressure drop com-
parable to that of a full-scale unit. This can be
accomplished by varying the firing rate from 1.5
gph for constant combustion intensity firing to
about 8.0 gph for constant pressure drop firing.
A variable swirl-type burner was designed to
provide the flexibility needed for this range of
combustion conditions. (Author)

A literature review and laboratory study were
made of the effects of water temperature and
turbulence on dissolved oxygen and BOD in
streams. Methods used to calculate the effects
of pollution upon the assimilative capacity of a
stream are reviewed. The equations available in
the literature make possible calculations of
BOD and dissolved oxygen concentrations if in-
itial conditions and dynamic parameters are
known. A series of simulated DO sag curves
under varying conditions of temperature and
turbulence were developed in the laboratory.
These were accomplished by probe measure-
ments of dissolved oxygen in a series of test
solutions to which glucose feed solutions were
added. The stream parameters were estimated
and the parameter delta, the incremental DO
change, was calculated under each test condi-
tion. A plot of temperature versus delta and tur-
bulence versus delta demonstrated that the
parameter was of a physical nature. This con-
cept of delta allows an investigator to predict a
range of dissolved oxygen values given a set of
initial conditions. The probability of any actual
DO value falling within this range may also be
obtained, allowing intelligent pollution control
decisions to be made based on the probability
function. (Knapp-USGS)

Laboratory studies of foam separation were
conducted to determine the feasibility of this
process for reducing B.O.D., solids content,
and foaming tendency of clarified kraft mill ef-
fluent. Since kraft pulping wastes have a natu-
ral tendency to foam, it was expected that the
foaming process, which has been found to be
useful in treating domestic wastes, might have
applications in treatment of these effluents.
Both continuous flow and batch experiments
were conducted, and liquid and foam heights,
liquid feed rates, air sparging rates, and tem-
perature were varied over wide ranges. The
B.O.D. reduction in the treated liquid was dis-
appointingly small, averaging less than 5 per
cent, and the B.O.D enrichment in the foam
phase was in most cases less than 1.5 times that
of the feed. Foaming tendency, however, was
significantly reduced by the intentional foaming
process. The experimental results suggest that
the reductions in B.O.D. and foaming tendency
were related to the separation of the tall oil
components of the waste. Apparently the
remaining B.O.D.- producing materials were
not surface active and did not attach them-
selves to the surface-active components The
cost of using a foam process on kraft mill
wastes is estimated to be four to five cents per
1000 gallons of feed; this cost is exclusive of
further processing of the concentrated foa-
mate. Based on control of foaming tendency
alone, the process would be unattractive from a
cost standpoint. (Author)

The tendency to set quality of the water
resource rather than quality of discharges as
the objective of environmental control makes it
necessary to develop some relationship
between concentration of individual pollutants
in the resource and in the discharge in terms of
characteristics of the receiving estuary.
Moreover, the growing percentage of the water
resource which is degraded in quality through
beneficial use together with the increasing in-
vestment necessary to restore water quality,
makes it important to minimize the cost of
achieving water quality objectives. The study
makes use of modern mathematical models,
programming techniques, and input-output
analysis to optimize quality control systems;
and illustrates the use of the models by exam-
ples drawn from San Francisco Bay data and
quality requirements. (Author)

Oil-dispersing chemicals were treated for
cleaning persistent-type crude oil from experi-
mentally contaminated New Jersey coastal
beaches and were found to be generally inef-
fective. Although they completely cleaned the
surface of the oiled sand, they removed little of
the total oil. Instead they caused the oil to
penetrate more deeply into the underlying
sand, thereby compounding the pollution
problem by expanding the zone of pollution,
complicating any subsequent mechanical
removal and, possibly, causing the oil to persist
longer. Chemical treatment failed to induce
'quicksand' or cause perceptible erosion of
beach sand. A decrease in the 'cohesiveness' of
the sand was observed, but this also occurred
in the presence of oil alone and could not be at-
tributed to the presence of chemical. (Author)

The rate of oxidation of iron(ll) by oxygen con-
forms to a relationship which is first-order in
the concentrations of ferrous iron and oxygen,
and second-order in the concentration of
hydroxide ion, at pH values between 6.0 and
7.5. The reaction proceeds relatively rapid at pH
values greater than 6.5; the half-time of the
reaction is 4 minutes at pH 7.0, under a partial
pressure of oxygen of 0.20 atmospheres at 25
deg C. The dependence of the oxidation rate on
hydroxide concentration has been observed, in
this study, at pH values as low as 4.5, where the
half-time has increased to approximately 300
days. At lower pH values, the dependence of the
reaction rale on pH becomes less marked until
at pH values below 3.5, the oxidation proceeds
at a rate which is independent of pH Field
results suggest that the observed rapidity of the
reaction in acidic mine waters is apparently the
result of microbial catalysis. The rate-limiting
step among the reactions involved in the oxida-
tion of iron pyrite and the production of acidity
in mine drainage waters is the oxygenation of
ferrous iron. Oxidation of iron pyrite is by a
cyclical reaction involving the slow oxygena-
tion of iron(ll) to iron(lll) followed immediately
by the rapid reduction of iron(lll) by pyrite.
generating in turn more iron(ll) and acidity.

evalute sewage sludge fluidized bed incinera-
tion systems is described. Data for the program
was collected from manufacturers, a literature
survey and field trips to operating installations.
Most of the data was obtained from the field
because of the lack of available information
from the other sources. More than fifty correla-
tion relationships were attempted before the
necessary data could be reasonably
represented. Equations were developed for the
least square curves which fitted the data best.
These equations were used as the basis for the
computer program developed to size some of
the major components and to estimate capital,
operating and maintenance costs for the
fluidized bed incineration system. (Author)

Radionuclides from various sources, including
facilities that produce, process, and handle
nuclear material, are entering the fresh-water
environment. The Service's Division of
Radiological Health, in cooperation with the
Atomic Energy Commission, has conducted a
number of investigations of streams below
atomic energy installations. Two such studies,
one on the Mohawk River near Knolls Atomic
Power Laboratory, and the other on the Clinch
and Tennessee Rivers near the Oak Ridge Na-

these rivers contain measurable quantities of
manmade radionuclides. The results of some
uptake studies, carried out in a DRH laboratory,
are included to supplement the river studies
and to aid in interpreting the results obtained in

A modification of the usual multiple regression
method is described for use in analyzing a
gross gamma spectrum from an unknown solu-
tion containing many radionuclides. It involves
a stepwise multiple regression procedure that
sequentially tests the effect of each
radionuclide until the spectrum is resolved. The
principal advantages over the 'spectrum
stripping' or conventional multiple regression
are that the procedure: (a) requires no a priori
assumptions about the radionuclide content of
the solution, and (b) utilizes the information in
all of the channels simultaneously. (Author)

Tritium-metallic targets are frequently used in
many particle accelerators for the production of
high-energy neutrons. The purpose of this
study was to investigate the problems and
hazards associated with the use of these tritium
targets so that appropriate steps can be taken
to minimize the potential radiological health
hazards. Particular emphasis was placed on the
operation of Cockcroft-Walton neutron genera-
tors, since these constitute a high percentage
of such particle accelerators which utilize the
tritium-metallic targets. The study showed that
bombardment of tritium targets results in the
loss of about 1 tritium atom for each bombard-
ing deuteron, and that most of the tritium is in a
gaseous form when it leaves the target. It was
also determined that a relatively small amount
of the tritium released from the target actually
remains within the accelerator itself. Most of
the tritium lost by a bombarded target is
trapped in the elements of an ion pump or
released through the vacuum system exhaust.

Studies conducted over a 3-year period have
shown that levels of strontium-90 and iodine-
131 in milk can be moderated by optimal fer-
tilization of the land. In controlled experiments,
milk from cows grazing on abundant, well-fer-
tilized pastures contained 50 percent or less of
these radionuclides than did milk from cows
grazing on unfertilized pastures on the same
farm. A mechanism of dilution of the fission-
product contamination in the larger volume of
faster growing fertilized forage was shown to
account for the differences in the milk. The
findings suggest one possible means of con-
trolling fission-product contamination in milk,
if such control measures should be necessary.
The results indicate that the high levels of
strontium-90 in the St.,Louis raw milk samples
may have been due more to marginal fertilize-

was about half for the solution containing no
Ca or Mg as compared to solutions containing
them. Probably adsorption onto the alumina
occurs partly as a calcium or magnesium
phosphorus complex rather than as a simple
phosphorus anion. Increasing the competing
sulfate concentration in the influent solution to
4800 mg/liter showed little effect on
phosphorus adsorption. Raising the pH of the
synthetic sewage effluent to greater than 8.0 led
to precipitation of calcium carbonate on the
alumina grains which progressively lowered
alumina phosphorus capacity. This problem
was not encountered when using actual
sewage effluent. It was found that alumina
columns could be satisfactorily regenerated

A conceptual design of a fluidized bed flue gas
desulfurization process has been developed
based on the ability of coarse lime particles to
react with the remove S02 from combustion
flue gases in a fluidized bed. Reduction of the
sulfated lime particles formed in such a process
has been demonstrated to provide reactivated
particles. These particles can again react with
the sulfur dioxide in a flue gas to form sulfates.
The effluent from reduction has a high SO2
concentration and is suitable for the production
of sulfuric acid. Experiments were performed to
determine and improve the reactivity of dif-
ferent limestone and dolomitic sorbents in a
fluidized bed. and to define conditions for
regeneration of the sorbents. A conceptual
design of a system was formulated from these
data. A coarse particle, high-gas-velocity
fluidized bed operating at 1600 f was found the
basis of the best design. Regeneration was car-
ried out with a producer-type gas at about 2000
f. Preliminary economics indicated that the
system was not applicable in presently operat-
ing boilers but a grass-roots power plant might
operate competitively. However, other general
considerations, such as the large size and loca-
tion of the equipment in the boiler train, make a
commercial process appear unlikely in its
present form. Adaption of this process to
fluidized bed combustion schemes is promis-
ing. (Author)

The feasibility of using pipelines to transport
waste materials, and to develop a reliable
procedure for the design of such pipelines was
studied. A series of laboratory and pipeline
tests was performed. Digested sewage sludge
and fly ash were chosen as representative
materials for the tests. Both materials, sludge
because of its fibrous nature and fly ash
because the particles are very fine, were trans-
ported in homogenous flow in the turbulent
regime. Samples taken from the top and the
middle of the pipe test sections confirmed this.
These materials, individually and in various
combinations, were tested at various velocities
in 1/2-inch, 12-Inch, and 16-inch pipe test sec-
tions, for a number of solids concentrations.
Digested sludge, fly ash, and fly ash/sludge
mixtures can be successfully transported by
pipelines. (WRSIC abstract)

The objective of the industrial pollution control
R and D program was to develop and demon-
strate the required technology to achieve
required degrees of pollution control by lease
cost methods for all significant industrial
sources of pollution. This report includes sum-
maries of 150 research, development, and
demonstration efforts necessary to resolve in-
dustrial pollution problems. A total of 1200 pro-
gram efforts are listed in tabular presentation.
These projects include the latest developments
in physical, chemical, biological, and combina-
tions of treatment methods. It is expected to
develop further the cooperation of industry to
participate in meaningful pollution abatement
demonstrations and to increasingly demon-
strate the feasibility of in-plant measures, by-
product recovery, and wastewater reuse as
methods to abate pollution and to reduce treat-
ment costs. Research through in-house efforts
and by contracts to industries and universities
are to complete state of the art studies related
to treatment and control technology for
selected industry groups. Industrial waste-
waters are to be identified, characterized, quan-
titized, and classified for all industries of pollu-
tional significance. (Author)

The Campbell Soup Company plant at Paris,
Texas, treats wastewater from the processing
operations by spraying onto grassland. Vegeta-
ble solids and grease residues are separated
and recovered. A comprehensive 12-month
study was conducted to determine treatment
efficiencies of the spray-runoff treatment
system. A total of 133 inches of wastewater was
applied to four experimental areas during the
study period. Hydrological measurements,
chemical removal efficiencies, and changes in
soil properties were evaluated in relation to
years of wastewater application, soil type, and
spray schedule. Hydrological measurements
accounted for 93 percent of the total liquid ap-
plied and showed that evaporative losses ac-
counted for 18 percent of the total liquid ap-
plied; runoff accounted for 61 percent. During
periods of heavy rainfall, runoff increased to a
maximum of 80 percent of the total applied
liquid. The results showed that the system
achieved mass removals of 92 to 99 percent of
the volatile solids and oxygen-demanding sub-
stances. 86 to 93 percent of total nitrogen, and
50 to 65 percent of phosphorus. Soil textural
class and system age had very little effect on
treatment efficiencies. Evaluation of surface
and subsoil samples and soil water at the 3-foot
depth indicated an increase in salinity with age,
but nitrogen and phosphorus remained low.
Much of the phosphorus removed from the
wastewater was found in the surface soil layer.

A dissolved-air flotation system was evaluated
for primary treatment of combined sewer over-
flows. The major pieces of component equip-
ment were a gyratory screen, hydrpcyclones, an
air dissolving tank, and a flotation cell. The
principal aspects investigated were: (1) Per-
formance of the system during rain events and
dry periods; (2) Evaluation of individual com-
ponents; (3) Capital costs and operating costs
for utilizing a flotation system for various size
combined sewage overflows; (4) The adapta-
bility of the system for automation and use in
remote location; and (5) The ability of the
system to treat intermittent and highly variable
flows from combined sewage systems. Some
chemical aids to flocculation were also tested.
The system performed comparably to conven-
tional clarifiers. It appears dissolved-air flota-
tion systems would be economical for handling
combined sewer overflows up to 8 MGD. Auto-
mation of dissolved-air flotation systems ap-
pears possible with conventional control equip-
ment. Chemical aids to flocculation appear to
have promise that warrants further study. The
system was unique in that all liquid flow passed
directly through the air dissolving tank with no
recycle. Domestic sewage was studied in lieu of
combined sewage during periods of no rain.

Generalized estimates of both performance and
cost are presented for wastewater treatment
processes which can be used with activated
sludge process to reduce the pollution load on
the receiving stream. Processes and groups of
processes believed to be leading candidates for
use downstream of secondary treatment are
listed. Data from various sources on the frac-
tion of 5-day BOD associated with suspended
solids are tabulated. Microscreening or rapid
sand filtration removes about 42% of the 5-day
BOD and 21% of the COD and TOC. Other
solids-removing processes, such as lime clarifi-
cation, multimedia filtration, and granular car-
bon adsorption, remove a greater fraction of
the suspended solids. Some of the dissolved or-
ganic contaminants might be removed, but this
appears to be negligible. A large fraction of the
dissolved organic species is removed by granu-
lar carbon adsorption. Estimates of the concen-
trations of BOD, COD, TOC, nitrogen, and
phosphorus downstream of each group of
processes are tabulated. Estimated capital and
operating and maintenance costs for each
process are shown. (WRSIC abstract)

The regeneration of spent granular activated
carbon, used in tertiary treatment of municipal
waste water, is a three-step process, (1) drying,
(2) baking and (3) activating. Laboratory studies
with an indirect heated rotary tube furnace
demonstrated that the rates at which the drying
and baking steps are performed do not have a
significant effect on the properties of the baked
carbon. The controlling step for the regenera-
tion product is the activation, and the important
parameters are the carbon temperature, length
of activating time, and steam or carbon dioxide
concentration in the activating gas mixture. In
multiple hearth furnace regenerations, where
the reported carbon losses are 5% to 7% per
regeneration, the characteristics of the activat-
ing step are: (1) high activating gas input rate,
(2) relative short activating time, and (3) rela-
tively low carbon temperature. Thermodynamic
calculations made on the hearth furnace
regeneration indicate that, by performing only
the activation of a previously baked carbon, the
hearth furnace gas input rate can be reduced
drastically and to the point where it approaches
the optimum rate of the rotary tube. (WRSIC ab-

pears to follow first order kinetics in most
cases. Zinc oxide appears to be a superior

widely distributed in nature, and photolytic ox-
idation is a mechanism whereby dissolved or-
ganic matter is oxidized in the natural environ-
ments of streams and lakes. Photolytic oxida-
tion reduced the dissolved organic matter in a
sample of domestic sewage by 50% and 75%
during 24 hours and 70 hours, respectively. The
limiting factor appears to be the activity of the

Several methods of identifying the source of oil
pollution are critically examined. These
methods are grouped into two categories: pas-
sive tagging and active tagging. Passive
tagging assumes that oils are so chemically
diverse that their contents constitute a stable
chemical fingerprint that can be unequivocally
disclosed in the laboratory. Active tagging
requires that an inexpensive, coded material be
added to oil; this material must be chemically
and physically stable in both oil and oil slicks; it
must also be readily identifiable by available
analytical techniques; and it must have no ad-
verse effect on the oil's subsequent use. Three
methods of passive tagging (trace metals, sul-
fur-isotope ratios, and paper chromatography)
and three methods of active tagging
(halogenated polycyclic aromatics, or-
ganometallics. and coded microspheroids)
have been examined. (Author)

Allocation of scarce water for flow augmenta-
tion to enhance water quality and other benefi-
cial uses conflicts with other water demands.
An analytical model is proposed that is capable
of allocating water to competing demands on
the basis of economic efficiency. The value of
water is determined from the slopes of the
benefit functions for water uses and an al-
gorithm, based on the theory of marginal analy-
sis, allocates water after considering the com-
plementary and competitive uses of available
water. Operations strategies may be selected
and revised throughout the demand period re-
garding the amount of water to remain in
storage, or stored and then released for
downstream uses or downstream diversions.
Results predict the frequency and magnitude of
shortages for each beneficial use of water.
Simulation of the hydrologic and economic
systems of the proposed Holley Reservoir in the
Willamette Valley in Oregon was used to test
the effectiveness of the proposed analytical
model and the results appear very good. A daily
streamflow model and a relationship between
reservoir operation and recreational at-
tendance were developed to produce an accu-
rate simulation of the basin. (WRSIC abstract)

Tffe report has been prepared to provide relia-
ble information on atmospheric emissions from
sulfuric acid manufacturing plants and on
method and equipment normally employed to
limit these emissions to satisfactory levels.
Background information is Included to define
the importance of the sulfuric acid industry in
the United States. Basic characteristics of the
industry are discussed, including growth rate in
recent years, types of raw materials used, end
uses for the product,' and the number of
producing establishments, i.e. manufacturing
sites, in existence during the past and at the
present time. Process descriptions are given for
the two processes in commercial use: the con-
tact process and the chamber process. Process
information includes discussions of the normal
process variables that affect the types and
quantities of emissions, the normal range of
emissions, startup and shutdown losses, and
methods of emission control and recovery.
Supplemental material provides detailed
descriptions of sampling and analytical
methods. Emissions to the atmosphere from a
sulfuric acid plant depend upon a number of
factors, such as design of the plant, skill of
operation, efficiency of the catalyst, complete-
ness of recovery operations, and the use of spe-
cial devices to reduce emissions.

As a part of a series of investigations of the
problem of vehicle exhaust as an air pollutant,
photochemical reactions are being studied in
detail by the use of large dynamic irradiation
chambers. In these studies auto exhaust,
generated by test vehicles on a dynamometer,
is diluted with air and irradiated to simulate the
effects of sunlight under mixing conditions
similar to those in the atmosphere. The ir-
radiated mixture is used to study chemical
reactions and to evaluate plant damage and
human eye irritation. In this second series of ir-
radiation tests, the ratio of total hydrocarbon
(HC) to oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was varied
between 1-1/2 and 24. Hydrocarbon concentra-
tions were varied from 3 ppm to 12 ppm total
carbon; oxides of nitrogen concentrations were
varied from 1/4 ppm to 2 ppm. Greatest plant
damage occurred when both the HC/NOx ratios
and hydrocarbon concentrations were high.
The levels of eye Irritation were highest at the
higher chamber hydrocarbon concentrations.
For a given hydrocarbon level, chemical reac-
tion rates were highest at the high HC/NOx
ratios. (Author)

A method is presented for estimating rapidly
the major emissions of air pollutants in a com-
munity. The method is based on information
that is readily available in most urban areas; it
does not entail extensive surveys or sampling
procedures. Application of this survey method
will yield a series of tables, maps, and diagrams
that indicate (1) the weights of emissions of
selected pollutants, by year and by season; (2)
the relative importance of various fuels and
types of sources in producing the emissions; (3)
the relative amounts of pollutants emitted in
various geographic sub-areas of the communi-
ty. Such information constitutes a useful tool
for developing an air conservation program.

Ricinus communis.
Castor pomace is the residue that remains after
castor oil has been removed from the beans of
the castor plant Ricinus communis. It is initially
in flat cakes, which are broken up into a fine dry
powder. This pomace contains one of the most
potent allergens nown. It is, therefore, of con-
siderable interest in occupational medicine.
Severe allergic reactions frequently occur in
exposed workers when appropriate safeguards
are not employed. In addition, the fine, light
powder form in which the pomace occurs is
readily transported from factory and shipping
areas into the surrounding community by
winds. As a community air pollutant, the
pomace can cause widespread and severe al-
lergy in the neighborhoods of mills and facto-
ries where it is produced or handled. This publi-
cation reviews the occupational and air pollu-
tion aspects of castor pomace. An annotated
bibliography and selected translations of
foreign articles are also included. (Author)

with the control of air pollution at individual
sources. This approach is unique because it
emphasizes the practical engineering problems
of design and operation associated with the
many sources of air pollution. These sources
reside in metallurgical, mechanical, incinera-
tion, combustion, petroleum, and chemical
processes. The air pollution problems
presented originate in industrial and commer-

Individuals working in the air pollution field
often need access to data concerning the
characteristics and behavior of air, gases and
particles, and the chemistry of atmospheric pol-
lutants, and to data of a general nature such as
mathematics and common conversion factors.
At present, to have access to all this informa-
tion, .the individual needs a wide variety of
reference books. The Air Pollution Handbook
was designed to consolidate the applicable
portions of these numerous references into a
single, easily accessible source. The primary
consideration for inclusion in the handbook is
that the information be unlikely to change. This,
then, excludes'experimental results and data
on air quality, even though these may be quite
useful. The one exception to this general rule is
the section on medical aspects. The experimen-
tal data that is included here is widely accepted
in the field of biological experimentation.

This report has documented the Thanksgiving
1966 Air Pollution Episode in the Eastern
United States in terms of the daily meteorology
and ambient air quality. Analysis of the availa-
ble air quality data indicates that the Air Pollu-
tion Potential Forecast Program (APPF) of the
Public Health Service and the Weather Bureau
did effectively forecast the stagnation. The in-
crease in levels of the pollutants during the
same period is Indicative of stagnation re-
gardless of the city considered. Advance warn-
ing Is a necessary step to effective control. To
effectively use APPF, municipalities must
reduce emissions of air pollutants until
meteorological conditions change to provide
better ventilation for the affected areas. Moni-
toring and forecasting at local levels to aug-
ment the APPF is also needed. A period of
restricted natural ventilation on November 17
covered a small area and was short in duration,
precluding it from generating an air pollution
potential advisory. However, air quality did
deteriorate significantly during this period; pol-
lutant levels recorded in some cities approxi-
mated peak concentrations during the sub-
sequent episode. (Author)

Air quality criteria are an expression of the
scientific knowledge of the relationship
between various concentrations of pollutants in
the air and their adverse effects on man and his
environment. They are issued to assist the
States in developing air quality standards. Air
quality criteria are descriptive; that is, they
describe the effects that have been observed to
occur when the ambient air level of a pollutant
has reached or exceeded specific figures for a
specific time period. In developing criteria,
many factors have to be considered. The
chemical and physical characteristics of the
pollutants and the techniques available for
measuring these characteristics must be con-
sidered, along with exposure time, relative hu-
midity, and other conditions of the environ-
ment. The criteria must consider the contribu-
tion of all such variables to the effects of air pol-
lution on human health, agriculture, materials,
visibility, and climate. Further, the individual
characteristics of the receptor must be taken
into account. The paniculate matter commonly
found dispersed in the atmosphere is com-
posed of a large variety of substances. Some of
these—flourides. beryllium, lead, and asbestos,
for example—are known to be directly toxic,
although not necessarily at levels routinely
found in the atmosphere today.

originates from both stationary and mobile
sources. Of the 11.5 million tons of particulate
pollution produced by industrial, commercial.
and domestic sources in 1966, 6 million tons
were emitted from industrial sources, including
industrial fuel burning; 5 million tons from
power generation, incineration, and space

presented in terms of best-fit curves as func-
tions of downwind distance and travel time.
Comparisons are made with the results of previ-
ous diffusion experiments conducted over rela-

is concluded that for low-level point sources
the urban area affects cross-wind dispersion
primarily by enhancing the initial size (i.e., close

The development of a technique by which the
sensitive tobacco variety, Bel W3 is used as a
monitor for photochemical air pollution is
discussed. The technique uses the plant as an
indicator of the oxidant complex in both urban
and rural areas. Two pilot studies that were
conducted over a 3-year period during the
development of the monitoring technique are
included in the discussion. Attention is given to
an explanation of the proper procedures for
planting, transplanting, fertilizing, and caring
for mature plants. The methods used in deter-
mining and recording injury to plant leaves is
included; the studies showed almost daily inju-
ry to monitoring plants. (Author)

The climate of a city differs from that of the
rural areas surrounding it, and an increasing
amount of scientific research is devoted to
comparative studies of urban and rural cli-
mates. This report is a survey of the literature
on city climatology, with emphasis on that writ-
ten since the series of articles published by Dr.
H. Landsberg, from 1956 to 1962. Those
meteorological aspects of urban climate that
have been most frequently investigated are
discussed herein: they are temperature, hu-
midity, visibility, radiation, wind, and precipita-

The document focuses on carbon monoxide
(CO) as it is found in the ambient air; therefore,
literature on extremely high levels of CO has
not been extensively cited. The occurrence,
properties, and fate of atmospheric CO and
principles of formation and control are
reviewed followed by a discussion of estimation
of CO emissions and measurement of at-
mospheric CO. The effects of CO are con-
sidered in relation to (1) vegetation, (2) tox-
icological studies on animals and man, and (3)
epidemiological studies. The scientific litera-
ture has been generally reviewed through
March 1969, with additional sources from re-
ports as recent as January 1970. The literature
has been reviewed thoroughly for information
related to the development of criteria; and the
document not only summarizes the current
scientific knowledge of CO air pollution, but
also attempts to point up the major deficiencies
in that knowledge and the presently recognized
needs for further research. (Author)

The document focuses on photochemical oxi-
dants as they are found in the ambient air. In
general, discussions are oriented towards the
physical arid chemical nature of these oxidants,
atmospheric concentrations and measurement
of these oxidants, and possible natural sources
of ozone. The presence of photochemical oxi-
dants in the ambient air is then considered in
relation to (1) effects on vegetation, (2) effects
on materials, (3) lexicological studies of effects
on animals and man, and (4) epidemiological
studies. The scientific literature has been
reviewed through January 1969, with additional
sources from publications as recent as
November 1969. The results and conclusions of
foreign investigations have been evaluated for
their possible application to the air pollution
problem in the United Slates. The literature has
been reviewed thoroughly for information re-
lated to the development of criteria, and the
document not only summarizes the current
scientific knowledge of photochemical air pol-
lution, but also attempts to point up the major
deficiencies in that knowledge and the

The document has been prepared to summarize
current information on sources of carbon
monoxide (CO) emissions, methods of control,
and costs and cost-effectiveness of controls.
The control techniques described herein
represent a broad spectrum of information from
many engineering and other technical fields.
The devices, methods, and principles have
been developed and used over many years, and
much experience has been gained in their ap-
plication. They are recommended as the
techniques generally applicable to the broad
range of CO emission control problems. Many
agricultural, commercial, industrial, and mu-
nicipal processes and activities that generate
CO are described individually in this document.
Various techniques that can be applied to con-
trol emissions of CO from these sources are
reviewed and compared, and equipment costs
are included, also. Although exhaust from au-
tomobiles constitutes by far the greatest source
of CO in the atmosphere, this emission catego-
ry is not discussed comprehensively in this
document. (Author)

by substances formed by photochemical reac-
tions of the original emissions with other sub-
stances in the atmosphere. The purpose of the
document is to make information available on
techniques for the control of organic emissions
from stationary sources. Sources of hydrocar-
bon emissions include petroleum refining.

The concept investigated in this report stems
from an attempt to develop less expensive
means of air pollution control. This concept is
the centralization of pollution control by having
the polluted effluents from individual plants
come to a centralized treatment facility. The
reasoning behind this concept is that one large
piece of control equipment would cost less per
unit amount of gas treated than would several
small units. If implemented, the centralized
concept would provide a system whereby all
polluted gaseous effluents could be
discharged, untreated, to a system of manifolds
which would permit the gases to be pumped to
the centralized treatment facility. At the central-
ized facility, the total mixed polluted gases
would be purified and discharged to the at-
mosphere. The purpose of the present study is
to present the results of a preliminary feasibility
study of the centralized air-pollution-abate-
ment concept.

The document focuses on gas-phase hydrocar-
bons and certain of their oxidation products,
particularly aldehydes, that are associated with
the manifestations of photochemical air pollu-
tion. ParticuJate hydrocarbons, and more
specifically polynuclear hydrocarbons, are not
treated in the document. It is important to
recognize that the criteria for hydrocarbons
rest almost entirely on their role as precursors
of other compounds formed in the atmospheric
photochemical system and not upon the direct
effects of the hydrocarbons themselves. The
publication reviews the chemical and physical
characteristics of hydrocarbons and their
degradation products, especially aldehydes,
and considers the basic analytical methods
used for measuring the atmoshpheric content
of these compounds. A brief review of the
sources of hydrocarbons and principles of their
control is included. The chemistry of hydrocar-
bon reactions in the atmosphere is briefly
reviewed. The direct effects of hydrocarbons,
essentially limited to vegetation damage from
ethylene, are discussed. Toxicological data on
hydrocarbons and aldehydes are also included.

The discharges of radioactivity to the environ-
ment from nuclear power stations contribute to
the radiation dose received by the general
population. In order to provide a better techni-
cal basis for surveillance recommendations,
radiological data relative to discharges of
radioactivity from nuclear power facilities have
been compiled. This report summarizes
discharges of radioactive material to the en-
vironment from nine selected nuclear power
facilities and relates the discharges to power
produced and plant maintenance operations.
The facilities included in this report represent
three basic reactor types: pressurized water,
boiling water, and high temperature gas. The
operating facilities which are not included in
this report either represent unique designs not
being constructed in the present generation of
power plants or they are smaller plants similar

Experimental data were obtained on the exter-
nal hydraulic characteristics and mixing
characteristics of suction manifolds to be used
in feasibility and design studies of using such
devices for predilution in sewer outfalls. Dilu-
tion rates and head loss characteristics are
given for six single circular side-port manifolds,
for multiport manifolds incorporating the same
side ports, and for annular ports with and
without axial symmetry. Density differentials
have relatively little effect on the dilution-head
loss characteristics of the configurations
tested. Comparison of the two geometries
tested shows that the annular-port manifold
possesses hydraulic advantages over single cir-
cular side-port manifolds. Limitations of
operating ranges of the manifolds in sewer out-
fall applications are delineated. (WRSIC ab-

An economically feasible waste water renova-

County. The tertiary treated product water is
pathogenically safe, esthetically pleasing and
suitable for fish life. Primary use of the water
will be for an aquatic recreation park, but other
anticipated uses include soil reclamation, ir-
rigation, and industrial applications. These
reuses of waste water will result in the conser-
vation of the presently diminishing fresh water
supply in this arid area. All research and testing
was done with the knowledge that ultimately
the public must accept the concept of reuse of
renovated waste water for the project to be a
total success. Esthetics of the product water,
including clarity, color and odor were important
aspects of the treatment process Test data
demonstrate that bacteriological and viral
requirements can be met. Fish have success-
fully survived and propagated in the test ponds.
Algal growth and nutrient levels of water in the

resulted in both State and Federal public health
agencies placing increased program emphasis
on the surveillance of nuclear power plants.
The Bureau of Radiological Health provides
recommended nuclear facility surveillance pro-
gram information for the guidance of health
agencies. In order to provide a better technical
basis for our surveillance recommendations, a
series of field studies were conducted at
operating nuclear facilities to obtain better data
on radionuclides in plant effluents and their

The active agents in natural waters previously
found to inhibit bacterial production of acid in
streams were investigated in the laboratory,
and inoculations of natural water previously
found to be inhibitory were made, about 14,000
gallons each, to a worked-out mine in Pennsyl-
vania. After the first inoculation, tests showed
absence of inhibitory power in the water at the
time it was collected, and the water used for the
second test was similarly found to be only
weakly inhibitory Strains of Caulobacter were
found in the natural inhibitory waters, and when
adapted to acidic environments and concen-
trated in culture media, they induced inhibition
of acid production. Other adapted strains of
Caulobacters also induced inhibition. Some
evidence was shown that Caulobacter inhibi-
tors might move downstream. Four species of
Streptomyces tolerated acidic conditions, and
were effective against the acid-producing bac-
teria in test tube cultures and on solid media.

A pilot plant was designed, constructed and
operated to asses the feasibility of providing a
facility for the collection, treatment, storage
and final disposition of a portion of the storm
overflow from a combined sewer system serv-
ing a thirty-acre drainage area in Washington,
D.C. A Parshall flume was installed in the over-
flow line for measurement of flow rates and
determination of total overflow volume. A por-
tion of the overflow was diverted to the pilot
plant through grit chambers and a comminutor.
Flow was stored in two 100.000-gallon un-
derwater bags fibricated of nylon reinforced
synthetic rubber and fastened to the river bed
by a system of patented anchors. During the
period of storage, compressed air was
delivered to the tanks for agitation of the solids.
Following cessation of the storm, contents of
the bags were pumped to the interceptor sewer
for delivery to the District of Columbia Sewage
Treatment Plant at Blue Plains. Flow into and
out of each underwater storage tank was me-
tered and recorded. Samples of the combined
sewage overflow discharged to the bags and
pumped discharge from the bags were col-
lected and subjected to laboratory analyses.

Eleven commercial and experimental powdered
activated carbons were subjected to an inten-
sive laboratory evaluation of their physical and
adsorptive properties to select those best
suited to treating municipal waste water and to
gain insight into properties important for this
application. Correlations were made between
capacities for absorbing organic impurities
from municipal secondary effluent, as mea-
sured by TOC (Total Organic Carbon) adsorp-
tive capacities, and carbon properties such as
iodine value, molasses decolorizing index and
pore structure. It is suggested that the best car-

Particle size of the powdered carbons was

and the manner in which the oil has been
deposited onto the beach will dictate the choice
of equipment to be utilized and the operating
procedures to be followed. The procedures

Erosion and sediment, once thought of as rural
problems, are causing extensive damage to the
soil and water resources of developing commu-
nities. Sediment caused by careless develop-
ment and construction has become one of the
Nation's most serious sources of water pollu-
tion. This guidebook is intended to help local
officials to organize, plan, finance, staff, and
Implement comprehensive sedimentation con-
trol programs. In addition, it should help local
officials and administrators understand what is
basically a technical problem; It will also help
soil and water experts and technicians un-
derstand the administrative aspects of sedi-
mentation control. This mutual understanding
is necessary if effective control is to be
achieved. The concepts and principles
presented are based on a year of research, in-
cluding visits to federal and state agencies and
14 visits to local sedimentation control pro-
grams across the United States. A model ap-
proach, with appropriate modifications, may be
used by many local governments to control
their sedimentation problems. (WRSIC ab-

An immobilized liquid membrane was
developed which at 100C has an S02 flux of
0.0032 cc/(sec-sq cm-cm Hg) and an SO2/CO2
separation factor of 14. The membrane
operated for one month at 100C with no change
in permeation properties. The membrane could
not withstand a pressure difference of 1 atm
across it. However, a technique was recently
developed which may make it possible to over-
come this limitation. The low S02/CO2 separa-
tion factor makes the use of this membrane for
removing SO2 from power plant stack gases
economically unattractive. An economically at-
tractive system was conceived for treatment of
higher SO2 concentration, and lower total flow
stack gases, such as those emitted from many
ore-smelting processes. (Author)

The principal objective of this project was to
determine if contact between effluent from a
Kraft pulp mill and pine chips would reduce the
water pollution characteristics of the waste
liquor. The experimental work was divided into
two phases: (1) a small scale laboratory in-
vestigation of contacting dilute waste liquor
with chips: (2) a pilot-scale investigation of fil-
tering waste liquor through a column and a pile
of chips. It was found that contact of alkaline
waste liquor, or even distilled water, with pine
chips extracted organic matter from the chips
which had a considerable BOD. This extract
corresponded to a pollution load of about 3-11
Ibs. BOO per ton of dry wood. Alkalinity, pH,
and intensity of color of the waste liquor were
somewhat reduced by the contact. -These
reductions are, however, too small to have any
practical application in effluent treatment. It
can, in general, be concluded that contact of al-
kaline waste liquor, or water, with wood chips
extracts soluble organics and adds pollutional
materials to the effluent stream. (Author)

A large part of the Middle Deschutes Basin in
Central Oregon is underlain by basaltic lava
flows that restrict the construction of conven-
tional drain fields for liquid waste disposal.
Drilled disposal wells in the lava serve as the
chief method of liquid waste disposal. The
disposal wells are concentrated in the Bend,
Redmond, and Madras areas. They range from
a few feet to over 400 feet in depth. Large quan-
tities of ground water underlie these areas and
are being developed for domestic water sup-
plies. The injection of liquid waste into disposal
wells and the construction of deep uncased
water wells create a threat to water quality. The
prevention of further drain well construction
and the casing of all deep wells are recom-
mended. (WRSIC Abstract)

In 1964, a mine drainage pollution control
demonstration project was undertaken near El-
kins, West Virginia. The area contained a large
drift mine (3,000 acres) which had been exten-
sively surface mined along the outcrop. The ob-
jective of the project was to determine the ef-
fect on the water quality of 'air' sealing and
diverting water away from the underground
mine and reclaiming the surface mines. Some
450 subsidence holes were filled, over 12.S
miles of surface mines were reclaimed and 101
seals constructed. Approximately 640 acres of
land were disturbed during reclamation which
were revegetated in the spring of 1968. This
paper reports the effectiveness of the reclama-
tion work for the first two years following con-
struction. The reclamation and revegetation of
the surface mines and refuse piles have shown
some benefits, however, an equilibrium condi-
tion has not been established and the long term
effects have yet to be determined. While some
areas have shown trends of continued improve-
ment, others showed an improvement the first
year, followed by some deterioration the
second year. Air sealing, under the conditions
at Elkins was unsuccessful, except for one site,
the oxygen concentration behind the seal has
not decreased and the pollution loads have not
decreased. For the combined watershed of
Roaring Creek and Grassy Run there has been
over a 1,500 ton decrease in the acidity load for
the base year 1966. However, none of the
streams in either watershed has returned to its
unpolluted state. (WRSIC abstract)

The public health implications associated with
a nuclear facility can be best evaluated in terms
of the radiation dose delivered to persons in the
vicinity of the facility. This report attempts, by
use of the dose commitment concept and sur-
veillance data previously collected, to estimate
radiation doses in 1968 to persons in the vicini-
ty of a fuel reprocessing plant from ingestion
and inhalation. The dose commitment accrued
in 1968 to a hypothetical 'typical individual' is
not thought to differ significantly from that for
the average adult population in the rest of New
York State and is attributable essentially to fal-
lout. This commitment was 77 mllllrem from
strontium 90 to the bone and 1,7 millirem whole
body from cesium 137 delivered over a 50-year
period. For the hypothetical 'maximum in-
dividual' the dose commitment to the bone
from strontium 90 is 532 millirem and the first-
year dose following ingestion is 38 millirem.
The whole-body dose from ingestion of cesium
137 and cesium 134 (mostly from deer meat) is
257 millirem. Preliminary data indicate that the
external gamma dose above natural
background is approximately 1.2 millirem per
year to the 'maximum individual.' Estimated
doses from tritium and krypton 85 were negligi-
ble. (Author)

In the Molten Carbonate Process, the flue gases
are scrubbed with a melt of alkali metal car-
bonates. This produces a melt mixture of alkali
metal carbonates, sulfites, and sulfates, which
must be treated to regenerate the carbonate
and recover the sulfur. The first step of the
treatment is the chemical reduction of the
sulfite and sulfate to sulfide, using hydrogen,
carbon monoxide, or carbon as the reducing
agent. The chemistry of the hydrogen reduction
step was studied in detail. It was found that the
reduction was zero-order with respect to
sulfate concentration, and that the rate was
catalyzed by iron, and autocatalyzed by the sul-
fide product. Studies with carbon monoxide in-
dicate it is not as reactive as hydrogen. How-
ever, its reactivity increases with pressure more
rapidly than hydrogen, so it may be useful at
high pressures. (Author)

The molten alkali carbonate eutectic consists of
essentially equal parts by weight of lithium,
sodium and potassium carbonate. It may be
used to control SO2 air pollution by scrubbing
stack gases with the molten salt. The resultant
fused salt contains sulfite which dispropor-
tionates to sulfate and sulfide. Suitable contain-
ment of these molten salts in H2O, CO2, and
H2S gaseous environments is required for com-
mercial development of this technique to con-

medium-term and long-term static, dynamic,

Gas-liquid chemical absorption reactors were
studied for application to the Molten Carbonate
process. Exploratory experiments showed that
absorption of sulfur dioxide in a eutectic mix-
ture of lithium, potassium, and sodium car-
bonates is very rapid. A continuous wetted-wall
absorber demonstrated that the rate of sulfur
dioxide absorption in carbonate is limited by
mass transfer in the gas phase. To demonstrate
that high efficiency of sulfur dioxide absorption
is possible in a continuous reactor, a 2 in. 10
column fitted with baffles was assembled. The
absorption of nitric oxide (NO) was also tested
with the baffle column. Experimental results in-
dicated that nitric oxide reacts slowly in the car-
bonate melt. Nitric oxide did not significantly
alter the absorption of sulfur dioxide. Theoreti-
cal analysis of liquid diffusion within droplets
gave limits for degree of carbonate reaction in
various-sized droplets. Analysis of gas-phase
diffusion to an aerosol of droplets revealed that
sulfur dioxide absorption occurs principally in
the vicinity of the spray nozzle where droplet
velocity relative to the gas is highest and
droplet velocity relative to the absorber walls is
decreasing The results of experiments and
theoretical studies suggest employing a spray
reactor for pilot-plant tests (Author)

Discussed is the continuing development of a
molten carbonate process to remove sulfur ox-
ides from power plant stack gases. In this
process, the sulfur oxides are absorbed in a
molten mixture of lithium, sodium, and potassi-
um carbonates. The resulting carbonate-sulfite
mixture is then regenerated chemically. This
part of the summary report describes the plant
analysis results achieved through October 28,
1968. The operating and capital costs for treat-
ing the stack gases of a 60 Mwe and an 800
Mwe power plant were estimated and evalu-
ated. Several important observations from the
800 Mwe plant analysis are summarized below:
The reduction step using hydrogen as the
reducing agent contributes 47% of the total
overall process cost: The cost of natural gas as
the raw material for hydrogen production is an
important contributor in the overall cost of the
process: Carbon (fluidized coke) as the reduc-
ing agent offers the highest potential for lower-
ing the overall cost: The overall costs can be
reduced by 0.07 rnils/kwh if a reducing mixture
of 75/25 hydrogen/carbon monoxide can be ef-
fectively utilized: and Unless nearly all of the fly
ash is removed (more than 99%) from the gas
stream before it enters the scrubber, the car-
bonate melt must be recovered from the melt-
ash filter cake for economic operation. (Author)

The Norton Mine Drainage Field Site of the
Federal Water Quality Administration has been
conducting research on the feasibility of acid
mine drainage treatment using lime, limestone,
and soda ash neutralization. The Norton
research facility is located at Norton, West Vir-
ginia, on the banks of Grassy Run—a small,
heavily polluted stream of which an estimated
90% of the water flow is from abandoned mines.
Tests were run on identical samples of Grassy
Run water to determine the qualily of the super-
natant when the sample was neutralized to vari-
ous pH's. Lime, limestone, and soda ash were
each tested as the neutralizing agents. All 3
neutralizing agents--lime. limestone, and soda
ash—can meet the pH 6.5, net alkalinity, iron
below 7.0 ppm criteria with relative ease. The
major differences between soda ash neutraliza-
tion and lime or limestone neutralization are
that soda ash produces low hardness, low cal-
cium, high sodium, and high cost, whereas all
other chemical parameters are comparable
between the 3 neutralizing agents. (WRSIC ab-

The report presents results from laboratory and
theoretical investigations directed at identifying
chemical processes by which CO is oxidized
and removed from the atmosphere Three
aspects are discussed: (a) the photochemical
CO oxidation in the stratosphere; (b) reaction of
CO with ozone in the troposphere; and (c) CO
removal by oxidation in the hydrosphere. The
mechanism of stratospheric CO removal is con-
sidered, and its significance as an atmospheric
CO sink is discussed. An account is given of a
laboratory investigation of the reaction
between CO and ozone. An exploratory experi-
mental study of CO oxidation in aqueous solu-
tions is described. A summary is given of the
conclusions drawn from these investigations
with regard to atmospheric CO removal
processes. (Author)

Wet-process acid is produced by treating
fluorapatite (Ca10(PO4)6F2) or phosphate rock,
with sulfuric acid. Phosphate rock must be fine-
ly ground to react properly with sulfuric acid,
and standard control equipment is normally
used to prevent objectionable dust emissions.
The emissions of most concern are fluoride
compounds liberated from the rock by the sul-
furic acid. These consist of hydrogen fluoride.
silicon tetrafluoride, and some products of
reaction and decomposition of the latter. Most
phosphate rock contains 3.5 to 4 percent
fluorine, and half of this may be volatilized in
the processing. This represents a large poten-
tial source of pollution. Because of the prin-
cipal atmospheric contaminants generated in
the process are gaseous fluorides, vapor
scrubbing is universally employed to control
emissions. Specific devices used for control in-
clude venturi scrubbers, impingement scrub-
bers, and various kinds of spray towers. The
results'of MCA-PHS stack| tests on ten wet-
process phosphoric acip'jplahts in various parts
of the country are tabulated. The. major source
of gaseous fluoride emissions in wet-process
phosphoric acid plant is the digester. Only trace
quantities of paniculate fluorides are normally
present in exit gases from digesters and filters.
and these can be removed effectively by
scrubbing. (Author)

Exhaust gases emitted by diesel engines are
characterized by offensive odors, which can be
rated numerically by human judges. Correlation
of such ratings with the chemical composition
of diesel exhaust will aid in (1) establishing
Federal standards for diesel exhaust emissions
and (2) developing methods of diesel odor con-
trol. Part 1 presents instructions for the training
of judges to rate the odors in terms of intensity
and quality standards provided to them for
reference. Part 2 describes the physical ar-
rangement of an exhaust dilution and panel ex-
posure system. It describes the performance of
odor evaluation tests, design of test programs,
and statistical analysis of test data. Appendices

Each of the major processes developed by the
industry should be studied with the objective of
evaluating the trends in plant locations, effects
on area-wide water quality, and treatment
requirements. Since there will be no significant
changes in petrochemical feedstocks, the pat-
terns of feedstock usage should be monitored
and major changes evaluated in terms of the
water use and water reuse requirements, poten-
tial pollution problems, and product develop-
ment. Because the main contribution to en-
vironmental pollution from the petrochemical
industry emanates from process waste streams,
comparative cost analyses should be made on
typical recycle (feedstock) practices and on as-
sociated wastewater treatment requirements.
Master plans for in-plant wastewater collection
should include facilities to segregate process
waste from less contaminated streams.
Problem areas in the physical, chemical and
biological treatment processes, as well as
disposal methods, are listed. A detailed and
basic study should be initiated to evaluate the
cost of treating wastes from single plants or

several plants. (Author)

The purpose of the program was to provide
background information and recommendations
required for development of future research
and development programs on low-pollution-
potential propulsion systems for urban vehi-
cles. The study itself consisted of a first screen-
ing of possible alternative systems to identify
those that were the most promising so that fu-
ture efforts could be concentrated on these. So
as not to screen out systems that could be
enhanced through directed research and
development efforts, alternative systems were
evaluated on the basis of the characteristics
that they could be expected to have 10 to 15
years in the future, assuming that development
efforts were expended on them. As a result of
the study, a few alternative propulsion systems
have been identified as being quite promising
for urban-vehicle application, while a large
number of systems were found to be unsuitable
for such application. (Author)

The overall purpose of the study was threefold:
To define and evaluate present and projected
air pollution problems resulting from the in-
cineration of municipal refuse; To analyze all
methods and techniques for reducing at-
mospheric emissions from incinerator systems
from the viewpoint of both present and ad-
vanced technology and basic economy; and To
evaluate the study conclusions and recommend
detailed research and development programs
designed (a) to improve present incinerator
control device systems, and (b) to develop new
low air pollution processes for use in the ther-
mal reduction and conversion of municipal
solid waste. The study resulted in recommenda-
tions (cited in Chapter III) which should prove of
value to existing plant owners, municipalities
evaluating various alternatives in contemporary
incineration systems, and to the federal, state,
and private organizations which are looking for
the latest advances in incineration technology,

Five possible sources of water for waterftood-
ing of petroleum reservoirs in the arid San
Joaquin Valley of California were considered.
Three of them (water produced with petroleum,
water from a shallow saline aquifer, and waste
irrigation water) were analyzed chemically;
laboratory information for one (sea water) had
been developed during a previous study. A se-
ries of laboratory tests made on the fifth source
(fresh water) determined the solubility of calci-
um sulfate dihydrate in water. Laboratory
analyses included the following: Chemical
analyses of water produced with petroleum and
waste irrigation water: solubility of calcium
sulfate dihydrate in water and brines; the effect
of excess sulfate on the solubility of calcium
sulfate in brines; the presence of sulfate-reduc-
ing bacteria; and the permeability of cores from
a petroleum reservoir to air, to water from other
petroleum reservoirs, and to waste irrigation
water. The results showed that most of the
waters and mixtures of waters are compatible
with petroleum reservoir waters and are
generally suitable for injection. The calcium
content of some of the formation waters is quite
high, and care must be taken to prevent
precipitation of calcium sulfate dihydrate. The
permeability of the few cores tested was about
the same to water and brines as to air, indicat-
ing that formation damage due to clay swelling
will not be serious. The waters most likely to be
available for injection are water produced with
petroleum, water from shallow saline aquifers,
and waste irrigation water. (Author)

Prevention of contact failure in low voltage
contacts is the largest problem. Millions of low
voltage contacts are used in computer and in-
strumentation circuits, and some provision
must be made to ensure their reliable and con-
tinued operation. The sulfur gases are primarily
responsible for the deleterious effect of air pol-
lution on these contacts. More money is spent
in the protection of low voltage contacts
against the effects of sulfur gases than in all the
other contact problem areas combined. Protec-
tion of low voltage contacts against sulfur
gases takes two forms: the use of air condition-
ing and air purification equipment; the other
kind of protection of contacts against sulfur
gases is precious metal plating. The cost relat-
ing to failure of electrical devices caused by air
pollution for 1968 is estimated to be about $64
million in the United States. Reducing current
air pollution by 50 percenB would have little ef-

The purpose of this project was to study the
feasibility of producing emulsified oil at a rate
comparable with conventional tanker loading
rates and to investigate the economic and
ecological factors. To determine blender
design parameters and emulsified oil charac-
teristics, two crude oils and one fuel oil were
chosen. A Libyan light oil, a Venezuelan oil and
no. 6 Fuel Oil were used. Only two emulsifiers
were used and they were base-neutralized sul-
fonated nonionics. These are compatible with
sea water and of low toxicity. The emulsions
tested were oil-in-water. Oil was the internal
phase and 97% of the total. Water and chemical
was the external phase and 3% of the total. The
tests on the emulsions were to determine: sta-
bility under simulated transportation condi-
tions, dispersibility in sea water, toxicity to fish,
and product alteration. Included were tests with
safety aspects: evaporation rates, flash points,
vapor pressures and rupture leak tests. An
economic study was made which shows emul-
sification costs of about 20 cents per barrel
without considering possible offsets or side
benefits. (Author)

The recovery, reuse and sale of materials from
liquid effluents, or produced as a result of the
treatment of liquid effluents is discussed. A
critical review of literature up to date on
product recovery in major water use industries
is presented. The economical, technical and
philosophical framework which determines the
application of product recovery is presented
wherever possible. This report does not cover
water renovation for reuse and product
recovery from solid wastes. However, an
evaluation of the utilization and product
recovery of municipal sludge is presented. The
principal areas of discussion are waste reduc-
tion practices including in-plant control,
recovery techniques and practices, practical
operating problems and the relationship
between recovery and treatment. It is con-
cluded that product recovery is an accepted
practice with increasing usage: industry needs
increasingly complex processes to develop op-
timum recovery schemes; by-product recovery
results in a net cost to industry generally of a
smaller magnitude then conventional treat-
ment; and the situation is complicated by the
tax exemption laws. (Author)

were conducted in conjunction with research
into photosynthesis, benthal oxygen demand.
and mass balance of BOD in that river system.
Systems of aerators were designed to provide
for meeting water quality objectives of dis-
solved oxygen, and cost estimates made. Alter-
native costs of meeting the same objectives by
means of advanced effluent treatment alone ap-
pear to be several times as great. It is concluded
that instream aeration may provide a feasible
alternative to advanced waste treatment for pol-
luted rivers, as a supplement to secondary

low-nutrient dilution water on lake plankton
growth response indicated growth at 90% and
86% lake water. Dye studies, diurnal plankton
sampling, and field observations indicate that
southerly winds have a great effect on moving
algae upstream into upper Parker Horn. Water
movements in the lake could be simulated in a
distorted Froude law hydraulic model. Removal
of algae and nutrients by flushing procedures in
Parker Horn and the lower lake would likely be
more effective at night. Moses Lake behaves
both biologically and hydraulically as though it
were divided into several partially isolated re-
gions A tentative mathematical model has been
set up for simulating the productivity and dis-
tribution of algae. Flushing Parker Horn with
large slugs of low nutrient water may not be ef-
fective because of wind action transporting
algae and their entrained nutrients back into
the Horn together with nutrient regeneration
from sediments. (WRSIC-abstract)

Mathematical models used to represent the ac-
tivated sludge process are examined; means of
analysis and computation of the differences
and simiiarities between models are in-
vestigated. Two digital computer programs
have been developed. The first program, the
Continuous Steady State Activated Sludge
(CSSAS) is a steady state model of the conven-
tional activated sludge process flexible enough
to simulate any of the proposed models. The
second digital program Fill and Draw Activated
Sludge (FADAS) attempts to simulate the
biological activity in a fill and draw bench ex-
periment in which activated sludge is mixed
with substrate in any proportions. The FADAS
program which has not been validated will be
useful in interpretation of bench scale fill-and-
draw experiments. The CSSAS program
represents the most complete state-of-the-art
computational procedure for quasi-steady-
state performance of the activated sludge
process but some important questions relating
to design and operation of the process remain
unresolved. However, further experimentation
should ultimately result in a thoroughly reliable
design tool. (WRSIC-abstract)

The two-volume report presents the findings,
conclusions and recommendations of a
systems study of nitrogen oxide NO(x) control
methods for stationary sources. The study
characterized the nature and magnitude of the
stationary NO(x) emission problem for the U.S.,
assessed existing and potential control
technology on the basis of nation-wide cost-ef-
fectiveness, and recommended a comprehen-
sive 5-year R and D program on stationary
N0(x) control. Available technology is not well
developed for controlling stationary NO(x)
emissions. Of the potential control techniques
assessed, combustion modifications show the
most promise because of their relative simplici-
ty and projected low cost Requirements for the
development of a mathematical model predict-
ing the fate of NO(x) in combustion processes
have been defined and a first-generating model
has been formulated in the study. Combustion
flue gas treatment techniques may need to be
developed to control N0(x) emissions from
large, coal fired electric power plants, since
suitable combustion modification techniques
may not be feasible for this category of emis-
sion sources. Complete details of the N0(x)
systems study are presented In Volume II of the
report. (Author)

Possibly aquatic plants can play a role' in
aquatic ecology through the production and

research objective was to determine the
presence, chemical nature and biological ac-
tivity of plant-produced agents. Nuphar luteum
subsp. variegatum and macrophyllum produce
both C-15 alkaloids and C-30, sulfur-containing
alkaloids. Two of the latter type were isolated.
Both were determined as stereoisomeric
biscarbinolamines incorporated into two deox-
ynupharidine moieties linked together at C-7
through a thiaspirange ring. Two new C-15 al-
kaloids, 7-epideoxynupharidine and 3-
epinuphamine, were discovered in N. luteum
•subsp. variegatum. Both C-30,-sulfur-contain-
ing alkaloids were active against Corynebac-
terium michiganense. The more abundant of
the two C-30 alkaloids was tested further
against five additional phytopathogenie bac-
teria and was active against four of these. The
same alkaloid was inactive against three bac-
teria taken from the site where the plant materi-
al was harvested. C-15 alkaloids, nupharidine
and deoxynupharidine, were inactive against C.
michiganense. the bacteria most sensitive to
the sulfur-containing alkaloids. There is now
sufficient Indication that Nuphar produces
agents which are active against some
phytopathogenic bacteria. (Author)

The spreading and movement of oil spills on
water were investigated. Areas for spills which
form lenses were measured and correlated.
Most crudes tested formed thin films, not len-
ses; but lens formation could be induced and
spreading greatly reduced by surfactant treat-
ment. Spreading rates for small spills were
measured and correlated with spill volume, oil
density and water viscosity. Field data and
energy conservation, however, indicates that
these aspects of small spills cannot be scaled
up to large spill volumes. Wind-water basin
tests indicated that on quiet open water oil
should drift windward at 3.66% of the wind
velocity. The percentage drift was not signifi-
cantly affected by oil orwater properties, depth,
and wind speed, and agrees fairly well with field
data. Waves caused significant reductions in
wind drift, but in the shallow basin used did not
induce significant drift themselves. Since wind
causes waves, and deep water waves cause
drift, further investigation of wind and wave
drift interaction is recommended. Wind drift
was found to be confined to a thin surface layer.
The use of 1 - 1 1/2 inch deep oil-confining
drogues markedly reduced wind drift. In-
vestigation of the use nets of such drogues and
of lens formation to reduce oil spread and
movement is recommended. (Author)

interpreting the properties of thermotropic
liquid crystals. The present 'state of the art' is
discussed and a description of how one can
build molecules which will possess certain pro-
perties needed for specific applications is in-
cluded. Certain aspects of molecular geometry
are considered. Optical and structural proper-
ties of the different types of liquid crystals are
explained with an emphasis on the use of these
properties in the practical applications of liquid
crystals. Both thermotropic and lyotropic liquid
crystals are included in these deliberations. Ap-
plications of liquid crystals are directly related
to the use of cholesteric esters which show
color change as a function of temperature.
Brief mention is made of the use of neumatic
liquids which show strong response to electric

A piezoelectric aerosol particle mass concen-
tration monitor has been constructed and
tested. This instrument detects, with high time
resolution, the actual mass concentration of an
aerosol cloud. The instrument uses an electro-
static precipitator to deposit aerosol particles
directly onto a piezoelectric quartz crystal
microbalance. The piezoelectric microbalance
system consists of a quartz crystal detector, a
reference crystal, two oscillator circuits, a
frequency mixing circuit, and readout equip-
ment. The electrostatic precipitator has an ad-
vantage over impaction collection devices
because it collects the total mass of most
aerosols on the crystal surface. It is not subject
to a lower particle size cut-off within the range
of most natural aerosols. A digital readout auto-
matically indicates actual mass concentration
in units of micrpgrams per cubic meter. Appli-
cations of the instrument include automobile
particulate emissions monitoring, industrial hy-
giene measurements, ambient outdoor particu-
late mass concentration monitoring, industrial
process control and source monitoring. The
complete instrument is compact, allowing
hand-carrying for fast, on-site measurement of
particle mass loadings. (Author)

Chemical kinetic studies were employed to
better understand how and at what rate air pol-
lutants are formed in an external combustion
process. With this background, an experimen-
tal combustion test rig employing a recirculat-
ing step, staged burner was built. Tests were
conducted with various liquid and vaporized
liquid fuel injectors using aviation turbine fuel
(Jet A) and 2,2,5-trimethylhexane. A wide range
of fuel-air ratios were examined by individually
controlling primary and secondary air flow
rates. Fuel flows were varied from a maximum
corresponding to a heat release of 500,000
BTU/hr to 1/30 of this value. Two runs were
also made using gaseous methane fuel. The
range of test variables were: injector configura-
tions - pressure atomizing, vaporizing, 2nd
vaporizing premixed; fuel flows from 0.15 to 4.5
gallons per hour; air flows from 3.4 to 103 stan-
dard cubic feet per minute; fuel equivalence
ratio - primary from 0.53 to 1.59, and overall
from 0.40 to 0.84; number of test conditions -
140; and cumulative combustion time - 22
hours. The tests demonstrated that gaseous
and particulate emissions less than those
established as the 1980 Federal Research goals
can be achieved simultaneously in a high heat
release, low pressure drop, burner configura-
tion. The emission data measured at steady
state conditions is compared to current and fu-
ture emission goals for automobiles. (Author)

A conceptual design was prepared of a Ran-
kine-cycle power system with organic working
fluid and reciprocating engine for a low-emis-
sion automotive propulsion powerplant. The
goal of the study was development of a system
competitive in cost, performance, and driver
convenience with the internal combustion en-
gine system using current technology wherever
possible. The component designs and charac-
teristics are presented. The complete 100 net
shaft horsepower system is packaged in the en-
gine compartment of a late model sedan; the
predicted performance characteristics are
presented. The system is closely competitive, in
0-60 mph acceleration time and in level-grade
top speed, with a 302 cubic inch displacement
internal combustion engine with three-speed
transmission. The fuel economy in customer-
average mpg is approximately 20% less than
the 302 cubic inch internal combustion engine.
The use of thiophene as a working fluid, with a
moderate maximum cycle temperature of 550F,
permits a significant cost reduction relative to
the equivalent steam system. Projection of cur-
rent burner data indicates a strong potential for
emission levels significantly less than the pro-
jected 1980 federal standards for all th ree of the
major pollutants: unburned hydrocarbons, car-
bon monoxide, and nitric oxide. (Author)

STUDY OF COST OF SULPHUR OXIDE AND

The primary purpose was to display the cost
analysis data in such a way that it is readily
adaptable to a large variety of real or hypotheti-
cal situations of heat or power generation so
that direct comparisons can be made of the pol-
lution control cost in specific situations by the
use of solvent refined coal to that of any other
projected system for which control cost infor-
mation is available. The heat content of SRC is
considerably higher than the coal from which it
is made and hence shipping costs are lower on
an equivalent thermal basis. This is approxi-
mately 16,000 Btu/lb, which exceeds high
quality anthracite or bituminous coal. Com-
bustion chamber corrosion and slagging
problems are directly reduced by its use. Since
solvent refined coal can be liquified by heating
and/or Increasing its residual solvent oil con-
tent, there exists the option of firing as solid
coal or as fuel oil. Lastly it is essentially a 'fail-
safe' pollution control process so far as the
combustion unit is concerned, since no
unusual S02 pollution can be emitted due to
breakdown or bypassing of equipment, as
could occur with processes that cleanse com-
bustion products. The potential market for sol-
vent refined coal is difficult to predict largely
because its use requires a long-term commit-
ment on the pan of producers to process it and
on the part of the users, primarily the electric
power utilities, to consume it. A level of produc-
tion necessary for economy requires this. A
processing cost of no more than 10
cents/MMBtu to convert bituminous coal to
SRC should allow price-competitive access to
over 60% of the current bituminous coal-fired
combustion unit market. (Author)

The exhaust emissions of several different
models of gas turbine engines under develop-
ment or in production were measured. The
emissions measured were carbon dioxide, car-
bon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and
the oxides of nitrogen. The results are
presented in a generalized form relating emis-
sions to fuef air ratio and engine power or
thrust. Techniques were developed to convey
exhaust samples from engines in test cells to
analysis equipment located elsewhere. Mea-
surements were also made of the emissions
from a gas turbine engine installed in a vehicle.
Gas turbine engines are inherently low pollu-
ters in carbon monoxide and unburned
hydrocarbons compared to other types of en-
gines of the same power output. Transient en-
gine operation produces many times the CO
and hydrocarbon emission that steady state
operation produces Part load engine operation
produces more CO and hydrocarbon emission
than full load. The opposite is true of the oxides
of nitrogen. The oxides of nitrogen are the most
serious emission problem of gas turbine en-
gines with respect to proposed emission con-
trols. Satisfactory methods have been
developed in this prog ram forsampling.exhaust
pollutants from a variety of gas turbine engines.
A heated sampling system is necessary to
prevent deterioration of the unburned
hydrocarbon sample between engine and

The feasibility was studied of a process for
removal of sulfur oxides from flue gas'using a
reversible dry absorbent. Sulfur dioxide in the
flue gas is first oxidized to S03 and then ab-
sorbed on a fluidized solid. The sorbent con-
sists of Na2S04 impregnated on an inert carrier
and takes up SOS through the formation of
sodium pyrosulfate. Oxidation of S02 was not
studied, however, catalytic oxidation was used
to prepare an SOS feed stream for the experi-
mental program. An experimental program was
carried out to develop kinetic and equilibrium
data for the reaction of Na2SO4 supported on
silica gel with SOS. The data were obtained
under conditions suitable for a cyclic absorp-
tion and desorption process. Nitrogen oxides
and water vapor in the concentration normally
found in flue gas were found to have little effect
on the SOS absorption rate. Desorption of SOS
at a concentration of 6% in the gas was found to
be very rapid at 930 F, and essentially quantita-
tive recovery of SOS was obtained at 1020 F. A
process design was developed based on the
reaction rates and temperature conditions
determined in the experimental program.
Economic studies pointed up the importance of
using an inexpensive catalyst and sorbent and
minimizing the loss of these materials. There-
fore, the concept of using a combined catalyst
and sorbent consisting of fly ash impregnated
with V2O5 and Na2SO4 was developed. Prelimi-
nary experiments carried out using a fly ash
based catalyst and fly ash sorbent were promis-
ing. The desorbed SO3 can be absorbed in sul-
furic acid to produce concentrated H2S04 or
oleum for sale, or by maintaining a slightly
reducing atmosphere in the desorber, a con-
centrated stream of SO2 (44%) can be
produced. The estimated capital and operating
costs show that the process is competitive with
alternative processes. (Author)

During the combustion of fossil fuels, sulfur
oxide compounds are formed and released to
the atmosphere. Where it is feasible to physi-
cally remove pyrite from coal in significant
quantities, the amount of sulfur oxide produced
from coal firing can be reduced. The objective
of the work was twofold;'first, to extend the
washability data to finer sizes of coal, and
second, to evaluate coal cleaning methods and
techniques for removing pyritic sulfur from the
fine-sized coal. The coals evaluated were low in
pyritic sulfur and little improvement could be
made in sulfur reduction by gravity separation.
The coals high in pyritic sulfur were also high in
organic sulfur so that the total sulfur reductions
obtained were not as impressive as previously
reported reductions. (Author)

The report outlines work on the application and
evaluation of a new measurement technique
based on correlation spectrometry. The
technique of correlation spectrometry is a
molecular absorption technique in which a por-
tion of the desired spectrum containing rota-
tion-vibration band structures is compared
against a stored replica of the sought spectral
signature contained within the spectrometer,
thereby generating a real time readout of the
quantity of target gas within the field of view of
the instrument. The tests reported were
designed to obtain preliminary data on certain
air pollution problems which had been hitherto
unobtainable by existing conventional measur-
ing techniques. Field work provided a more
definative grasp on the basic air pollution
problems of making representative SO2 and
NO2 measurements. Tests were made to com-
pare data derived from the operation of the
spectrometers in their various modes with data
derived from existing commercial instruments
and wet chemical referee analyses. Studies
were made on Stack SO2 emissions; NO2
plume chase; Ambient SO2; Ambient NO2.

This paper describes studies carried out at an
operating nuclear fuel 'reprocessing plant fqr
the purposes' of characterizing the stack ef-
fluent, measuring the environmental levels of
activity due to components of stack release,
and evaluating instrumentation and
methodology used to sample both at the stack
and in the environment. Four field sampling
stations, located in the vicinity of the plant
perimeter, and a stack sampler simultaneously
monitored 85Kr. 1291. and 3H (gaseous and
water vapor) during two dissolution cycles. Par-
ticulates were monitored at the stack and one
field station. Measurements are presented and
discussed in terms of emission level versus
specific plant operations, primarily the dissolu-
tion cycle The instrumentation used in this
study includes thin-window geiger detectors
and flow-through ionization chambers for 85Kr;
bubblers, traps, and grab samplers fo'r 3H; and
resin traps for 1291. Chplceof methodology and
instrumentation is discussed with emphasis
placed on a system usable In determining dose

A study was made to investigate the variables
that must be considered in any test procedure
used to measure radiation leakage from
microwave ovens. An evaluation was made of
the effect of various factors involved in such
measurements, including load temperature,
size and shape of containers for the load, water
load repeatability, and the suitability of loads
other than water. A study was also made of the
distribution of microwave patterns in an oven
using sponge substrate impregnated with
hydrated cobaltous chloride. The chemically
impregnated sponge test could be a very help-
ful aid in determining the test load position in
order to create the condition of worst possible
leakage from a microwave oven. (Author)

Microwave generating devices have become in-
creasingly prevalent and diverse in recent
years. Their use is expected to continue to
grow. Although there has been an awareness of
the biological effects that can result from expo-
sure to microwaves, there still exists a paucity
of information and some controversy concern-
ing the biological effects of these radiations.
This Symposium was held to provide an indica-
tion of the present state of knowledge in the
area of microwave health effects. The
Proceedings are a compilation of the 31 techni-
cal papers presented, the deliberations that fol-
lowed each one, and the two panel discussions
that concluded the meeting. (Author)

This report describes a study of the Mas-

Radiology department.The primary goal of the
study was to define how the operating effective-
ness and efficiency of MGH Diagnostic Radiolo-
gy can be increased through the application of
advanced communications techniques. The ef-
fort required a systems study of the present
operating methods of MGH Diagnostic Radiolo-
gy, followed by the conceptual development of
systems to aid in X-ray patient scheduling, X-
ray film filing and retrieval, and the reporting of
diagnostic X-rays results. These concepts were
based on the use of computers and advanced
communication methods to aid the efficient
flow of patient data and reports both internal to
and outside the Radiology department. The
concepts have use not only in the provision of
better patient care but in the research and
teaching aspects of department operation.

In a pilot installation up to about 65% of solids
from overflows of combined sewer systems
were removed by using lump coal as a rapid-
flow filter. The lump coal was sized to three-
fourths by one and one-fourth inches, free of
fines, and about eight inches in depth. The
overflow is directed onto the filter bed in such a
manner that the filter bed is not displaced.
When plugged, or upon a routine basis, the
filter bed is replaced; the spent bed, composed
of coal and solids, is incinerated or landfilled or
disposed of by whatever manner is locally in
use which does not pollute the atmosphere or
surface or underground waters. The potentially
most valuable contribution in the work was the
finding that conventional sewage sampling
does not provide a representative indication of
the nature of large solids content. A recommen-
dation for an improved sampling procedure is
made.

Aerometric data collected in the Los Angeles
Basin during the Fall of 1968 was analyzed to
study the relationships among the chemical
and meteorological parameters measured.
Emphasis was placed on defining the formation
rates of the products of atmospheric chemical
and photochemical reactions, especially
nitrogen dioxide and ozone. The study was
concentrated on the empirical relationships
which connect the outputs of the atmospheric
system, i.e. the photochemical products, to the
inputs represented by pollutant emissions and
ultraviolet radiation. The concentrations of
many contaminants followed similar diurnal
patterns. Airborne measurements revealed
much information about the three-dimensional
aspects of the Los Angeles Basin. The vertical
profiles showed that the base of the tempera-
ture inversion was at an approximate altitude of
700 feet above sea level during the morning.
The work dealing with improvement of methods
applicable to atmospheric analysis concen-
trated on techniques for atmospheric nitrogen
compounds, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides
and oxidants. Among the achievements of this
effort were automation of the electron capture
chromatograph used for peroxyacetyl nitrate
and development of an improved technique and
calibration standard for use with it. The C1 to
CIO hydrocarbon analysis was also improved
by revising the chromatograph flow system,
developing a purifier for the carrier gas and
identifying additional chromtographic peaks.

with certain organic compounds, a minute
amount of light is emitted; this light is collected
and amplified by a photo-multiplier tube. The
electrical signal from the PM tube is then a
function of the concentration of ozone passing

The effectiveness of a molten alkali carbonate
eutectic in removing lead compounds from
gaseous mixtures was investigated. Some
laboratory tests and one test of a device on an
automobile were used in this investigation;
results indicated that molten alkali carbonate
scrubbers can be an effective method for
removing lead and particulates from exhaust.
The alkali metal carbonate eutectic is a basic
low-melting, nonviscous, clear liquid that
reacts chemically with acidic lead exhaust com-
ponents and physically wets particulate matter.
Tests have shown that the size of the lead
chloride particulates produced in laboratory
generation experiments approximated those
found in automobile exhaust. Both impinge-
ment of the gas on the molten salt surface and
contacting the gas with molten salt wetted-
mesh scrubbers were shown to be effective
lead removal techniques. The results suggest
that a muffler replacement device could poten-
tially remove nearly all of the lead from the ex-
haust. A conceptual device that could be
retrofit to existing automobiles was designed.
This conceptual muffler replacement unit
would cost about $20 to fabricate and charge
with salt. Tests of a preliminary molten car-
bonate device on an automobile showed that
even before the melting temperature of the salt
was reached, the demisting mesh and/or the
salt on the mesh removed 80% of the lead from
the exhaust. (Author)

The aim of the reported research was to apply
infrared spectroscopic methods to handle large
numbers of process control samples and to ob-
tain kinetic information to evaluate the effects
of variables such as sulfur dioxide concentra-
tion on overall process efficiencies and to un-
derstand the deadburning phenomenon as-
sociated with limestone processes for removal
of sulfur dioxide from flue gases. Major effort
was directed toward development of rapid relia-
ble methods for analysis of reacted limestones.
A solvent system, suitable for dissolving
limestone and capable of being made infrared
inactive by the dual cell technique was
developed. The system-tetrasodium EDTA
(ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) saturated
water was found to be the only one of a large
number of systems investigated capable of dis-
solving limestone. The feasibility was studied of
using a D2O based solvent system to determine
the oxide and hydroxide contents of reacted
limestones. The KBr pellet technique was stu-
died in considerable detail. Ion exchange resin
techniques were also studied in conjunction
with the KBr method. Infrared spectroscopic
techniques were also applied to studies of gas-
solid interactions between the sulfur dioxide
content of a simulated flue gas and various
limestone absorbents and to an investigation of
the deadburning phenomenon. The latter has
revealed the strong possibility of chemical
reactions with silicate impurities during high
temperature calcination. Electron microprobe
data has revealed that at lower calcination tem-
perature, all of the silicates are present in dis-
crete phases in the limestone. Studies were
also performed to confirm the hydration of MgO
in calcined, slaked dolomitic materials. (Author)

tion of the odor fractions has been refined
using an efficient GC fraction trapping method
and applied it with great success to the oily-
kerosene odor fraction obtained from the first-
stage, liquid-column chromatography (LCC)
separation. The odors of the individually
resolved compounds were characterized and
their structure determined by high resolution
mass spectrometry. Using this approach.
together with quantitative odor studies on
selected reference components, the chemical
structure of the principal components respon-
sible for the characteristic oily-kerosene por-
tion of diesel exhaust odor has been deter-
mined. The chemical classes associated with
the odor in this complex are: alkyl benzenes, in-
dans/tetralins, and indenes. Alkyl naphthalenes
constitute a major portion of the mass of the
oily-kerosene fraction but are not a direct major
odor contributor. Some limited success was
achieved in applying the techniques described
above to the smoky-burnt odor fraction and
several individual odor species were identified.

The sorption of S02 by sodium bicarbonate,

studied using a full scale pilot fabric filterhouse
as the chemical contactor under various
operating conditions, A total of 62 tests was
performed to determine the effects of sorbent
stoichiometric ratio, operating temperature,
flue gas flow rate (filter ratio), mode of house
operation, method of sorbent feeding and sor-
bent retention time. For the experiments con-
ducted, gas temperatures ranged between 270F
and 640F: flow rates between 7.500 ACFM and
15,000 ACFM; sorbent to SO2 stoichiometric
ratios from 0.75 to 3.4 and sorbent retention
time from 2.5 seconds to 6 seconds. Tests were
also conducted to determine how much of the
S02 removal was taking place while the sorbent
was in suspension and how much was taking
place in the filtercake on the bags. Measure-
ments of NO2 were also made during the tests.
It was definitely shown that the fabric filter can
perform adequately as an effective chemical
contactor for removal of S02 from the flue gas
as well as a control device for flyash. Of the
various filterhouse operating parameters
tested, the operating temperature and the
stoichiometric ratio have the strongest effect
on SO2 conversion efficiency. (Author)

A full scale system designed to demonstrate the
practical and economical use of high purity ox-
ygen gas in aeration of the conventional ac-
tivated sludge waste treatment process was
tested under a variety of operating conditions in
a direct performance comparison with a paral-
lel air aerated system. A sparged-turbine, gas-
liquid contacting unit was employed'in covered
tanks of conventional design with liquid and
gas staging for cocurrent flow of each phase.
This oxygenation system required very low
power input for oxygen transfer and liquid mix-
ing. The oxygenation system could operate with
MLVSS concentrations of as high as 4500
mg/liter achieving about 90% BOD removals at
aeration detention times as low as 1.2 hours
(raw flow » recycle flow) treating domestic
waste of 220 mg/liter BOD. Biomass from the
oxygenation system is highly flocculent and
readily settleable with desirable handling
characteristics. Recycle and waste activated
sludge suspended solids concentrations of
about 3% were achieved. Process advantages
recognized with the oxygenation system in-
dicate significant reductions in secondary
waste treatment costs in comparison to con-
ventional diffused air aerated systems. (WRSIC

The intent was the generation of information
relative to the basic definition, identification,
and assessment of the national odor problem.
Three factors - odor producing potential of in-
dustrial odorant sources, atmospheric vulnera-
bility, and size of population - were developed
separately and then combined for an indication
of the odor problem potential of each three
digit postal zip code area in the nation. Local air
pollution control agencies were surveyed to
identify areas where they believe that signifi-
cant odor problems exist. Within the principal
cities of each of seven representative
metropolitan areas, two-day technical field in-
vestigations and public opinion surveys were
conducted. Sensory evaluations of odor were
also performed in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania.
Odor problem potential exists in most
metropolitan areas in the United States. But,
primarily because of meteorological factors,
the probability of encountering odor problems
is greatest in the Appalachian and California
Coastal metropolitan areas A large number of
residents - perhaps as many as 25 million - per-
ceive odors as problems and desire some form
of abatement. The results of the mail survey and
personal interviews of local air pollution control
agencies indicated that when concentrations of
air pollutants can be related to amounts of pro-
perty damage, and/or ill health, abatement
criteria (e.g!. minimum levels of emissions) can
be established and enforced. However, in cases
of air pollutants causing only odors, such rela-
tionships are generally non-existent. Con-
sequently, odor abatement criteria, if any, are
typically based on number of complaints and
inadequately backed by nuisance laws. (Author)

The United States Public Health Service, Office
of Environmental Health, conceived tho project
to develop a mechanism for evaluating existing
information and reducing it to manageable pro-
portions and forms which would enable it to
better carry out its responsibilities in research
and control programs. The needed mechanism
was considered to be a system which would
provide an overview and identification of those
activities which might lead to public-health
hazards. A system design study verified this
concept utilizing an overview information
center to provide the necessary hazards-
identification, evaluation, and alerting system.

The concepts embodied in the development
and implementation of a comprehensive R and
D and program planning capability for EHS
were examined. Environmental stressors were
selected as the basis for planning rather than
categorical approaches. For the mix of complex
problems encountered by EHS. a system to
establish priorities is required. The integrated
planning system which was recommended util-
izes mathematical models to assess the impacts
of technology upon man and his environment
and the assignment of priorities based upon
quality of life indices. Specific elements of the
management-assistance system which was
defined include an overview environmental
health planning function to provide coor-
dinated and comprehensive planning in the
man-centered ecosystem context;. an impact
assessment capability based upon a hierarchy
of mathematical models; a threat identification
function to identify and evaluate potential
threats to man and the environment through in-
tensification or extension of current use pat-
terns of products and services or through in-
troduction of new stressors; and an environ-
mental health information network to provide a
well-organized information base. A hierarchical
approach to the development of mathematical
models for prediction of the impacts of stres-
sors upon man and the environment was
described and specific examples are presented
for lead in the environment. (Author)

The lead model case study was undertaken to
serve as a working example and to evaluate the
technical, intelligence, and project information
system under consideration for EHS. Occur-
rence and use patterns for lead within the U.S.
were examined. The major categories of uses in
decreasing order were production of storage
batteries and accessories, gasoline antiknock
additives, pigments, ammunition, solder, cable
covering, and caulking lead. Leaded fuels are
the major source of environmental lead.
Pediatric plumbism, the most significant acute
health problem, arises from lead used as a pig-
ment. The economic aspects of this problem
area were investigated. While lead is very slowly
absorbed from environmental sources, its
gradual accumulation in the body is the basis
for progressive toxicity. Additional research is
required to determine the chronic effects of
lead in the environment on health, and better
diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are
needed in support of this research. A mathe-
matical model was developed to represent the
environmental transport of the stressor lead
from several sources with the subsequent in-
take of lead by man. This model can be used to
assess the impact of contemplated actions on
lead body burdens, to define R and D require-
ments, and to identify the needs and locations
for monitoring and surveillance. A categorized
bibliography for lead Is included. (Author)

DDT was selected as the compound for this
study due to paucity of data regarding environ-
mental effects of other classes of pesticides.
Human exposure to pesticides was examined
from two major pathways; the direct pathway
which deals with direct uptake from primary
sources of pesticide release, and the indirect
pathway which involves human exposure by
translocation through air, water, or food.
Reductions in accidential poisonings could be
made by limiting the total toxicant contents of
home packages of pesticides, and means to
reduce deaths from aerial applications warrant
further study of this method of application. The
control of human burden of pesticides by con-
trol of food residues is only partially effective
since evidence on pesticide distribution In the
environment suggests that about half of the in-
take is from inhalation of insecticide aerosols
or dust laden with insecticides. There is
presently no evidence that pesticide exposure
directly shortens human life. Fish and birds are
more sensitive to pesticides In the environment.
Fish lack the basic microsomal oxidase enzyme
systems which detoxify pesticides and birds ap-
pear to be very sensitive to the sterodal hor-
mone mimicking effects of the chlorinated
hydrocarbons. (Author)

Ultraviolet radiation Is produced by arcs and In-

tures. The envelope of closed sources may filter
out most of the ultraviolet radiation produced.
Of the transmitted ultraviolet, two portions of
the spectrum are of public health interest.
Wavelengths between 1900 and 3000 ang-
stroms (far ultraviolet) are mutagenic, and may
be lethal to cells. Wavelengths above about
3000 angstroms (near ultraviolet) appear not to
be mutagenic, and are lethal at doses which are
very high in comparison with lethal doses in the
1900-3000 angstroms range. However, skin
cancer may result from repeated near ul-
traviolet exposure. Penetration of ultraviolet
beyond the skin of mammals is negligible.
Wavelengths below about 1900 angstroms
(vacuum ultraviolet) are absorbed by air and
water, so exposure of biological tissue must be
performed in vacuo. (Author)

A study was conducted to Investigate the feasi-
bility of using methanol as a substitute fuel for
gasoline to reduce exhaust pollutants emitted
from automotive engines. Work was performed
In two phases encompassing both automotive
and single cylinder laboratory engine tests. It
was concluded that methanol displays signifi-
cant potential as a pollution control substitute
fuel for gasoline. In the automotive tests con-
ducted with a slightly modified, non-optimized
engine system, methanol was shown to be a
satisfactory fuel from the standpoint of engine
operation and to produce methanol emissions
as low as 1900 PPM (317 PPM-hexane
equivalent). Vehicle mileage was low (7 to 9
mpg) as expected. Suspected high aldehyde
emissions were confirmed. It Is believed that
optimization of the fuel-air ratio, the mixture
distribution to the cylinders, and heating of the
fuel or fuel-air mixture, will result in improved
performance and substantially reduced emis-
sions of all pollutants, except NOx. Laboratory
engine operation with blends of reform gases
(CO +2H2) and methanol was shown to be suc-
cessful in improving engine performance
(subject to engine knock limitations) and
providing major reductions in methanol and
formaldehyde emissions. If the reforming
technique can be economically implemented in
an automotive system, it Is highly probable that
emission levels can be achieved which are well
below those possible with gasoline. (Author)

Sulfurous acid, when used with hydrolysis in
the treatment of activated sludge, will increase
soluble solids, improve filtration efficiencies
and reduce moisture content of the resultant
filter cake. Use of a 0.5% Sulfurous acid and
hydrolytic treatment of sludge at 140 degrees C
for one hour increased the soluble solids con-
tent of the activated sludge by 20%. Concentra-
tion of the solubilized extract produced a syrup:
85% of the solids content of the syrup was or-
ganic. By TKN estimates, over 20% of these
solids were proleinaceous. An amino acid anal-
ysis indicated it could be of value as an animal
feed, and this was confirmed in rat feeding stu-
dies (at a 10% level in the diets) showing an effi-
ciency of food utilization of 42 for the organic
molasses as compared to 39 for cane molasses.

The major purpose of the research described
was to assess the state of the art in the
technologies on which the future development
of electric highway vehicles depends. The as-
sessment is made on the basis that there will be
no major change in the patterns of urban trans-
portation and focuses upon the technical
requirements of the vehicle. As a framework for
the study, technical and, to a lesser extent, cost
criteria were established for six classes of elec-
tric vehicles, most of which correspond closely
in performance to existing conventionally
powered types. On the basis of these criteria
the prospects for vehicle application of various
electric motor and control systems and a wide
range of electrical power sources including
batteries, fuel cells, and engine-generator-bat-
tery hybrids are compared. The most promising
systems for further development are identified
and the magnitude of the shortfall in their
present characteristics is estimated. Recom-
mendations are made for the expansion of fu-
ture effort in these areas, taking into account
the expected contributions from existing pro-
grams in the public and private sectors of the
economy. The technology of electric vehicles
appears to be attainable, quite possibly at an
acceptable cost. A very substantial technical ef-
fort is called for if the required technologies are
to be brought to maturity. The technical risks of
this endeavor are too great for the investment
to be borne by private capital alone, particularly
since the major objective is a technology
desirable for its social good rather than for its
profit potential. (Author)

Advances in technology have made it possible
to establish zoning performance standards,
which will prevent air-use - land-use conflicts.
In the past, such standards were based on
source capability and were uniformly in-
adequate. Now, because of the ability to predict
air pollution levels, standards that accomplish
both preventive and control aims can be ap-
plied. Land area, as used lor urban planning
purposes, reflects the diffusion capability and
greater knowledge concerning the diffusion of
pollutants in the air, prediction systems are
within practical application range. An example
of the output information from such a diffusion
model is discussed. (Author)

A feasibility study was conducted of a large sta-
bilization-retention basin to be constructed in
Lake Erie at Cleveland, Ohio. The stabilization
is viewed as a possible alternative to separation
of a combined sewer system. The proposed
basin would treat flows from a number of large
combined sewer overflows, from several pol-
luted streams, and effluent from a large secon-
dary wastewater treatment plant. Treatment
would consist of bio-oxidation, sedimentation.
stabilization and disinfection. The chemical,
biological, physical and structural aspects of
the proposed basin were studied, and the
probable benefits to water quality and the effec-
tiveness of the basin as a treatment device were
evaluated. Estimates of cost of the basin and
collection system were prepared, and it was
concluded that the stabilization basin would
provide a higher degree of pollution abatement
than would separation of sanitary and storm
sewers, at about one-third the cost. (WRSIC ab-

Three groups of 16 cars each or a total of 48

mile interval under controlled fuel conditions
and maintenance. Each group of 16 cars is
being operated on the same base fuel. Two of
the three group's test fuels contain a gasoline
additive which is added to the base fuel. Ex-
haust emission measurements were made as
the vehicles started the test and at each sub-
sequent 4,000 mile interval. An analysis of vari-
ance was conducted on each of the 19 emission
parameters for the zero and 4,000 mile interval.
A major conclusion reached on the basis of
these analyses is that: no significant dif-
ferences in emission parameters were deter-
mined at the 4,000 mile point on the basis of
fuel employed. A secondary conclusion drawn
concerns the make factor. That conclusion Is:
all emissions parameters vary significantly
between makes; however, no single make is
consistently the highest or lowest valued across
the spectrum of the 19 emissions parameters
measured. The VW vehicles were distinctly dif-
ferent to such a degree that their data were not
included in the final analysis. (Author)

In 1965, the U.S. Army reactivated the Volunteer
Army Ammunition Plant at nearby Tyner, Ten-
nessee, to produce explosives needed for
defense. Shortly thereafter numerous com-
plaints of paniculate and gaseous emissions
were received by various governmental officials
from many irate citizens in the surrounding
area. On October 1, 1967, an air quality survey
was begun in the Chattanooga, Tennessee -
Rossville, Georgia, interstate area to fulfill both
the request of the Department of Defense and
the City of Chattanooga. Four other investiga-
tions were conducted in the area during the
period from October 1967 through April 1969:
(1) meteorological measurements; (2) vegeta-
tion effects measurements; (3) materials effects
studies; and (4) emissions survey. This report
concerns these investigations and their results.

The results of the motor-vehicle exhaust emis-
sion inventory are reported by a grid system on
a map of the study area and by grids. The total
amounts of pollutants (CO, HC, NOx, SOx. and
particulates) emitted from motor vehicle ex-
hausts are tabulated. Evaporative losses and
crankcase emissions in the study area account
for 47 percent of the total hydrocarbon emis-
sions, and exhaust emissions compose the
remaining 53 percent. Typical analysis of motor
vehicle emissions was used to check these esti-
mates. Three pollutants - carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides - comprise
99 percent of the total weight of exhaust emis-
sions in the study area. Sulfur oxides and par-
ticulates generally compose the greater per-
centage of the pollution in an industrial-ur-
banized area; however, these pollutants com-
prise only a small portion of the total weight of
exhaust emissions These pollutants are signifi-
cant because of their toxicity, particle size, and
secondary reactions involving the formation of
aerosols. The combined emission rate of sulfur
oxides and particulates is 2,640 pounds per
day. If this pollution were distributed over the
41.6 square miles that comprise the land area of
the City ol Gary, the emission density for these
two pollutants would -be 63.5 pounds per
square mile as compared to the emission densi-
ty for carbon monoxide of 845.9 pounds per
square mile The vehicle-mile average-speed
approach is presently the most accurate
method tor estimating the emissions from
motor vehicle exhausts. The total emission of
sulfur oxides and particulates from motor vehi-
cles is small as compared with the three major
pollutants. The use of the emission factors
based on the fixed-mode cycle does not, there-
fore, introduce much error in the total weight of
pollutants. (Author)

Cold reduction of steel strip results in the
production of large quantities of waste water
containing variable amounts of oil. A five stand
tandem cold mill located at Armco Steel Cor-
poration's Ashland, Kentucky Works produces
200 to 500 gpm of waste water containing 400
to 4,000 ppm of oil. The COD of the waste varies
from 400 to 20,000 ppm. A treatment process
and facility was developed, constructed, and
demonstrated, on full scale, for the treatment of
cold mill wastes. The treatment process utilized
chemical coagulation to break the emulsions.
The chemicals employed included alum, lime,
clay and organic polylactrolyte. The process
consisted of the following treatment steps:
equalization, chemical addition and rapid mix-
ing, flocculation. and dissolved air flotation.
Zeta potential, streaming current, and particle
size distribution were used in laboratory studies
to describe the eflect ol the following variables
on process kinetics; acid number, initial oil
concentration, type of emulisifier, chemical
dosage, order of chemical addition, reaction
time, and final pH. Based on these studies, an
hypothesis of the emulsion breaking
mechanism was proprosed. Oil, COD, and tur-
bidity were used in field studies to establish the
effect of the following variables on treatment
efficiency; chemical concentration, order of
chemical addition, chemical mixing time, floc-
culation mixing time and speed, and air flota-
tion time and recirculation rate. Based on these
studies, design criteria and operating costs for
this process were presented (Author)

The objective of this study was to determine the
feasibility, effectiveness, and economics of em-
ploying high-rate, fine-mesh screening for pri-
mary treatment of storm water overflow from
combined sewer systems. The final form of the
screening unit stands 63 inches high and has
an outside diameter of 80 inches. The unit is fed
by an 8-inch pipe carrying 1700 gpm (122
gal/min/sq ft) which is distributed to a 60-inch
diameter rotating (SO rpm) stainless steel collar
screen having 14 square feet of available screen
area and a 165 mesh (105 micron opening, 47.1
percent open area). The screen is backwashed
at the rate of 0 235 gallons of backwash water
per 1000 gallons of applied sewage. Based on
final performance tests run on dry-weather
sewage, the unit is capable of 99 percent
removal of floatable and settleable solids. 34
percent removal of total suspended solids and
27 percent removal of COO. The screened ef-
fluent is typically 92 percent of the influent flow.
On the basis of a scale-up design of a 25 mgd
screening facility, the estimated cost of treat-
ment is 22 cents/1000 gallons.

The effectiveness was investigated of electrode
potential measurements to modulate
discharges from combined and storm sewer
overflows to reduce stream and estuarine pollu-
tion. Studies included varying the composition
of sewage, flow rate and examining the ten-
dency to polarize or coat the electrodes under
actual flow conditions. The analysis of experi-
mental results shows a high degree of correla-
tion between the electrode potential of the
sewage and its strength. Linear correlation
coefficients between electrode potential were
determined for BOD, COD. SULFIDES. TOTAL
PHOSPHORUS, NITRATES, AND CHLORIDES.
It was demonstrated that the potential will be
more negative the greater the S(-2) concentra-
tion, except when a small amount of DO is
present which exerts an attenuating influence.
Flows carrying substantial concentrations of
reducing substances with a detrimental impact
on the dissolved oxygen reservoir of any receiv-
ing waters must be kept from exerting their
damaging influence on bathing beaches, tidal
estuaries and other water resources. Con-
trolling the flow from outfalls by the electrode
potential should significantly help to minimize
such insults to the environment. (Author)

Act of 1944 and the Federal Water Power Act
also have possible applicability. The enabling
legislation and other law defining the operating
procedure of the federal water resource agen-
cies make water supply and water quality
storage somewhat dependent on the provisions
of state water law. State law may affect the
acquisition of water rights for storage and the
procedure whereby it is applied to its intended
functions. The impact of state law on the
acquisition process varies according to
whether water rights are acquired by the United
States or by a private party. When private in-
terests are responsible, as in the case of water
supply storage In Corps of Engineers and Soil
Conservation facilities, the aquisition of rights
is not as complex as when a Soverign is in-
volved. Aquisition of water rights by the federal
government gives rise to federal-state jurisdic-
tional problems and several unresolved
questions concerning water rights. (WRSIC ab-

Laboratory and field investigations were con-
ducted on the fate and cycling of carbon and
phosphorus in selected aquatic ecosystems. In-
organic carbon, as CO2, supplied by both bac-
terial cultures and cylinder gases, stimulated
the growth of the blue-green alga Anacystis
nidulans. Diel studies of a stream which
received biologically-treated sewage demon-
strated that the dissolved C02 and HC03 con-
tinually produced in the system were essentially
depleted by the autotrophic organisms during
daylight hours, while the concentration of
phosphorus remained unchanged. Addition of
organic carbon and inorganic nitrogen and
phosphorus alone and in combination to the
waters studied directly stimulated the oxidative
metabolism of the heterotrophic population,
which resulted in increased dissolved C02 and
HCO3. This increased availability of inorganic
carbon, rather than the direct metabotic
removal of dissolved phosphorus by the algae.

growth of the algal populations in the waters

The report documents a study on the treatment
of acid mine drainage by reverse osmosis. The
objective of the study was to determine the
feasibility of utilizing reverse osmosis to abate
pollution due to acid mine drainage, and
produce a water which could be used by indus-
try or as a municipal water supply. A test site in
Shickshinny, Pennsylvania was selected as a
source of acid mine water for the study. A sam-
ple of this water was tested in a laboratory
reverse osmosis unit to determine the design
parameters for a 10,000 gallon per day demon-
stration unit. The results obtained during the
demonstration period indicated that the reverse
osmosis process has potential application in
acid mine drainage treatment. A high quality
water was produced which was suitable for use
by industries or municipalities with a minimum
of additional treatment. There are, however,
operational problems which must be solved
prior to utilizing reverse osmosis on a large
scale. These include maintenance of high per-
meation rates through the membrane by reduc-
ing membrane fouling and determination of the
optimum flow sheet for an acid mine treatment
system utilizing reverse osmosis. (Author)

One of the causes of pollution from stormwater
overflow of combined sewers is the deposition
of pollutional solids during dry weather flow
followed by pick up of the pollutional material
during storm flow when the flow be bypassed.
As a solution to this problem, it has been
proposed that a flushing system be used to
periodically cleanse the sewers during dry
weather and convey the solids to the treatment
plant. A study was made of sewer flushing prac-
tices, application requirements, and hydraulic
theory. Investigation was also made of sam-
pling methods and equipment: flushing test
equipment was designed and the cost was esti-
mated. The existing information on sewer flush-
ing has indicated a good possibility that a
periodic flushing system would be feasible for
reducing pollution from combined sewer
stormwater overflow. The design of flushing
evaluation equipment has been carried to the
point that cost estimates can be made for con-
struction of the equipment. A description of the
design and the cost estimates are included.

An investigation of the pollution concentrations
and loads from storm water runoff in an urban
area was conducted in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
scope of the project included: a field assess-
ment of the storm water pollution by obtaining
samples of the water resulting from precipita-
tion and surface runoff from selected test areas
within the metropolitan area: development of
an analytical procedure for correlation of storm
water pollution with selectively defined varia-
bles of land uses, environmental conditions,
drainage characteristics, and precipitation; and
development of a plan for implementing
remedial measures necessary to abate or con-
trol sources of pollution in an urban area.
Storm water runoff samples were collected
from 15 'discrete' test areas in the Tulsa
metropolitan area for laboratory analysis in
terms of quality standards for BOD, COD, TOC,
organic Kjeldahl nitrogen, soluble
orthophosphate, chloride, pH, solids, total
coliform, fecal coliform, and fecal streptococ-
cus pollutants. Selected land use parameters,
environmental conditions, drainage and
precipitation data, along with storm water pol-
lution factors, provided input data for func-
tional relationships to enable assessment of
pollution from storm water runoff. Recommen-
dations were made for a plan of action for

Four actual coal mine waters have been
neutralized with limestone both on a batch
scale and by utilizing a continuous flow ap-
paratus. Variations in treatment procedure
were necessary depending on the charac-
teristics of the individual waters. A standardized
test was established to evaluate the reactivity of
the limestones. The following variables are of
importance in evaluating limestones for coal
mine water neutralization: (a) particle size, (b)
Ca and Mg content, and (c) surface area. Fer-
rous iron oxidation has been accomplished
with both synthetic and actual coal mine water
at low pH in the presence of coal-derived ac-
tivated carbon. Electrpphoretic mobility studies
on precipitates obtained by both lime and
limestone neutralization of coal mine water
yielded information which can be applied for
more effective sludge removal. Magnetic
sludges were prepared using two different iron-
bearing waters. The conversion of precipitates
to a magnetic form results in significant reduc-
tions in settled sludge volumes as well as in-
creases in solids content. Data obtained in
these studies Indicate that the limestone
process offers considerable promise for an im-
proved lower cost method for treating several
types of coal mine waters. (Author)

Several methods of identifying the source of oil
pollution are critically examined. These
methods are grouped into two categories: pas-
sive tagging and active tagging. Passive
tagging assumes that oils are so chemically
diverse that their contents constitute a stable
chemical fingerprint that can be unequivocally
disclosed in the laboratory. Active tagging
requires that an inexpensive, coded material be
added to oil; this material must be chemically
and physically stable in both oil and oil slicks: it
must also be readily identifiable by available
analytical techniques; and it must have' no ad-
verse effect on the oil's subsequent use. Three
methods of passive tagging (trace metals, sul-
fur-isotope ratios, and paper chromatography)
and three methods of active tagging
(halogenated polycyclic aromatics. or-
ganometallics, and coded microspheroids)
have been examined. Passive tags cannot be
recommended because the passive tags are
quite likely to mingle, to evaporate, to be dis-
solved, or to be oxidized; even if these
processes do not occur, they can create for-
midable forensic problems for the prosecution
and telling counter-arguments for the defense.
Since active tags are designed to be stable and
identifiable, they are satisfactory for the Job;
and the three types of active tags reviewed
show promise and merit. (Author)

from passenger car refueling operations. The
objectives of the test program were to identify
and measure lost hydrocarbon weight at typical
conditions. The survey objective was to deter-
mine the frequency of losses in the service sta-
tion environment. Overall refueling losses were
segregated as to displaced vapor, liquid spill
and nozzle drip losses. Each of these was mea-
sured in the laboratory and observed for
frequency at service stations. The scope of the

Both analytical and experimental investigations
are employed to provide basic information con-
cerning water movement in the Lake. The
knowledge and experience acquired in the
course of this study should improve our capa-
bility to construct and operate rotating hydrau-
lic models. This information should also assist
in the overall water quality management of the
Lake. The studies reported here deal with the
idealized conditions of zero wind stress
(including the inflow of the Detroit River and
the outflow of the Niagara River) and, under this
same flow condition, with the superposition of
a uniform westerly wind over the surface of the
Lake. The water mass is isothermal and varia-
tions in density are assumed absent. Under
these conditions, investigations of the circula-
tion patterns were conducted. Also studied was
the oscillation of the entire water mass in the
model lake. In particular, attention was given to
the transient effect that this mass oscillation
had on the otherwise steady-state circulation
pattern and its effect on the mixing and dilution
of waste discharges into the lake. (WRSIC ab-

The second report considers the experimental
results obtained and the relationship of these
results to various mathematical model ap-
proaches to the hydraulic study of Lake Erie.
Based on the experimental and analytical
results of this study, the following summarizing
statements are made regarding the dynamic
behavior of Lake Erie. In the absence of wind,
the throughflow caused by the inflow of the
Detroit River and the outflow of the Niagara
River generates significant currents and easily
observable patterns of circulation. The
presence of westerly wind significantly alters
the circulation pattern of Lake Erie as observed
in the absence of wind. A procedure for relating
model wind speeds to prototype wind speeds
based on similarity between wind set-up in
model and prototype has been presented.

Microstraining (Trade Name), using a Micros-
trainer screen of a nominal aperture of 23
microns, removed up to 98% of the suspended
solids from a combined sewer overflow. The
sewer, in a residential area of Philadelphia, has
an average dwf of 1,000 gph. The maximum
combined sewer flow during rainstorms in one
year of operation was 304,000 gph (11.3 cfs).
Volatile suspended solids removals with the
above screen have averaged 68% and 71% dur-
ing different test periods. Results indicated that
there was a slightly better kill of conform group
bacteria with chlorine than with ozone in the
Microstrainer effluents when both were used at
an initial nominal concentration of 5 ppm, with
5 to 12 minutes detention time. However,
chlorine was applied at slightly higher levels
and with better control than ozone. Preliminary
estimates of the costs of treatment via Micros-
training, using tentatively-established
throughput rates, show that the capital costs
per acre of drainage would be approximately
$10,200 for Microstraining alone, $11,200 for
Microstraining plus chlorination, and $19,800
for Microstraining plus ozonation. Of eight
other currently-proposed schemes, whose
costs were estimate, only surface impoundment
(where aesthetically acceptable and where low
cost land is available) appears competitive.

In order to accomplish the goals of the Water
Quality Act of 1965, it is necessary to establish
water quality surveillance systems throughout
the nation. It is highly imperative that the in-
dividual systems developed by the various
Federal, state, and interstate agencies be com-
patible and their data systems be intercon-
nected. The various inputs and decisions
necessary to accomplish this task are so com-
plex that modern systems analysis techniques
should be applied to insure that each of these
water quality surveillance systems are
developed and designed utilizing the same
criteria. This study is the initial effort to apply
systems analysis techniques to the solution of
this problem. Three major river basins were
selected for this study in order to identify the
parameters common to any basin throughout
the nation, The three basins were studied by:(1)
reviewing the literature associated with their
water quality characteristics; (2) on-site visits to
the river basin areas: (3) comparative review of
the interstate water quality standards and plans
of implementation; and (4) legal considerations
in surveillance program design. These tasks
provided the input material to develop a
systems analysis framework. The systems anal-
ysis framework was applied manually to select
sites for water quality surveillance stations on
the major streams studied within the three river
basins. (Author)

The Key West study was. undertaken to deter-
mine the impact of the discharge from a large
desalting plant on the surrounding environ-
ment. The Phase-l work has shown that some of
the properties of the effluent can be detected by
physical and chemical measurements well
beyond the area that visible effects can be de-
tected in the bottom communities. While the ef-
fluent produces some beneficial effects such as
attracting certain species of fish and the stone
crab, Menippe mercenaria, it has also been
shown to have deleterious effects for other or-
ganisms. Algae, tunicates, and gastropods were
excluded from the near-field of the effluent
discharge and bryozoan colonies were not as
numerous in the discharge area nor did they
grow as well as they did outside of the area.
Quantitative investigations of the physiological
and ecological effects of the desalting plant ef-
fluent in future studies could lead to predictive
capabilities as far as the amount of environ-
mental stress that can be tolerated at a given lo-
cality. (Author)

An investigation was conducted to determine
radiation exposures to the head and neck re-
gions of patients undergoing polytomographic
studies of the sella turcica, paranasal sinuses,
and petrous pyramid. The highest exposures
were measured at the eyelid region for studies
of the sella turcica and paranasal sinuses In
studies of the petrous pyramid, the highest ex-
posures were recorded in the external auditory
canals. Variation in the total number of expo-
sures, the ratio of frontal and lateral exposures,
and beam collimation are cided as principal
causes of the wide range of values recorded for
a given dosimeter location and type of ex-
amination. To reduce eye exposures, it is
recommended that PA rather than AP projec-
tions be used for tomography of the petrous
pyramid, sella turcica, sphenoid sinus, and
other mid- and posteriorly-located structures of
the skull. (Author)

A large and increasing proportion of the ac-
cidents occurring in British mines are caused
by men losing their balance, and there is
evidence that slipping plays a major part in
many such accidents. Simple laboratory mea-
surements of the (national force between foot-
wear and different floor materials with different
surface conditions showed that existing types
of miners' footwear did not give a good grip in
all circumstances. In particular, although
rubber-soled footwear gave an excellent grip
on clean surfaces, it gave a very much reduced
grip on greasy or muddy surfaces. An unex-
pected change in grip could cause men to slip.
Boots fitted with tungsten carbide tipped studs,
such as are fitted to types for motoring on ice,
were tested and gave a reasonable grip which
was almost unaffected by the condition of the
surface. User trials of such studded boots have
been encouraging and are being extended,
most wearers being enthusiastic about the
boots' anti-slip properties. Extensive tests are
in progress on the frictional-ignition hazard
presented by tungsten carbide tipped studs. It
seems likely that the hazard will prove to be in
the same low range as that given by hobnails
and other steel fittings to footwear. Advice is
given on where and how to insert studs into ex-
isting footwear and suggestions are made for
future developments. The publication of the
early results of the work has produced a lot of
inquiry from industries other than coalmining
and this brief report has been prepared to meet
the needs of these other industries. (Author)

A multi-faceted study was conducted to deter-
mine the nature of emission problems in the
graphic arts and metal decorating Industries.
By means of field visits and a survey of solvent
and ink use, the industry's actual and potential
problems were delineated and methods used
for solving these were reviewed. An industry
sampling plan was developed that will measure
and attempt to characterize the emissions, ac-
cording to the process, type of ink coating and
substrate used. Analytical procedures requisite
to the chemical evaluation of effluents and
sampling technique employed were examined
and reviewed. The less complex method of total
hydrocarbon analysis suffices for certain seg-
ments of the industry. Solvent flow charts for
the basic printing processes and modifications
thereof were utilized to indicate the process
variables in terms of inputs and outputs. Sig-
nificant emissions can be expected from web
printing (letterpress and lithography using
heatset inks), metal decorating, gravure and
flexography. Control techniques were reviewed
and presented. There are three general ap-
proaches to the problem of controlling gaseous
emissions from the printing and metal decorat-
ing industries: the first, the use of air pollution
control equipment, the second, a change of
process materials and the third is process
modification. All were considered from both a
technological and economic review. Changes
in process material (e.g., solventless or low-sol-
vent inks) were reviewed. Developments in
radiative drying were also discussed (Author)

The chemical contacting potential of fabric fil-

that closely resembled in composition the ef-
fluent of coal-burning facilities The technical
feasibility of using a glass fabric filter bag
house as a collector of reacted materials and as
a contactor for reactants to remove objectional
gases from exhaust gas streams up to tempera-
tures of 900 F was demonstrated. Of the reac-
tant materials investigated in the temperature
range pf 700 F to 900 F, slaked lime and slaked
dolomite are possible candidates for SO2
removal in the filter bag system from a stand-
point of reactant efficiency, total SO2 removal
and potential economical cost, In the tempera-
ture range of 300 F to 500 F, alkalyzed alumina
proved to be very effective for SO2 removal, but
would probably require regeneration for its
economical use. Nahcolite, a naturally occur-
ring sodium bicarbonate, is also effective in
removing SO2 in the temperature range of 300
F to 500 F but would also require regeneration
to be economical. Manganese dioxide can be
used most effectively in the temperature range
of 500 F to 700 K, but also requires regeneration
to be economically useful. (NAPCA-abstract)

Twenty healthy, adult male cats were lightly
anesthetized (Nembutal), tracheotomized and
were then breathed by a Harvard pump at a
fixed frequency and tidal volume. Purified
Medical Grade breathing air with or without sul-
fur dioxide in air or sulfur dioxide in combina-
tion with sodium chloride aerosol in air, was
delivered to the animals in predetermined ex-
posure sequences and for fixed durations of
time. Parameters of response used to judge
adaptation of cats to the inhaled challenges of
pollutants were pulmonary flow resistance and
lung compliance. In addition, pollutant mix-
tures were delivered to animals via en-
dotracheal catheter and/or face mask to evalu-
ate the possible influence of receptors which
may be present in the nasopharyngeal chamber
and in the trachea above the tracheal cannula.
The major finding was the variability of the
responses of the test animals. Certain subjects
showed increased pulmonary flow resistance at
low SO2 concentration, and were the
analogues of the 'reactors' in human popula-
tions. Approximately 20 ppm S02 in air were
required to evoke a significant change in pul-
monary flow resistance in 'reactors'. The
majority of animals showed no response at this
concentration of sulfur dioxide in air, either
alone or in the presence of NaCI aerosol. When
the pollutants were administered via en-
dotracheal catheter and face mask, an in-
creased frequency of significant changes in
pulmonary flow resistance in these animals was
suggested. All alterations in parameters of
response were reversible shortly after exposure
ceased. Morphological examination of lung tis-
sue sections after rapid freezing with Freon in-
dicated that measurement of alterations in air-
way size is not possible in the range of changes
of pulmonary flow resistance reported here (<
100%). Methods and data lor all experiments
are presented in detail.

ty, control programs and procedures, and the
quantities and various types of radiation-
emitting electronic products and radioactive
materials used by the Federal government.
Thirty-three selected departments and agen-
cies were asked to answer specific questions
relating to their programs for controlling radia-
tion from electronic products and radioactive
materials. Their responses are summarized and
discussed. (Author)

The development and current status are

give the following outputs: Carbon monoxide
(CO) concentration isopleths for a given set of
meteorological conditions and times of day.
Sequences of hourly CO concentrations at
specific locations for given sequences of
meteorological conditions, chmatological sum-
maries of CO concentration for specific loca-
tions if an historical record of meteorological
data is available. The model can be used to ob-
tain the frequency distributions of concentra-
tions averaged over various time intervals for
specific hours of the day or days of the week.
Model inputs are traffic volumes on major
streets and highways in the urban area, at-
mospheric stability, mixing depth, and wind
speed and direction. The concentrations calcu-
lated with the model are compared with obser-
vations of CO concentration from Continuous
Air Monitoring Program (CAMP) stations.
Although the agreement is not good—the model
generally calculates concentrations lower than
those observed—improvement is obtained by
empirical corrections. Possible reasons are
given for the disagreement between calcula-
tions and observations, and a field measure-
ment program is described that the authors feel
will help to define the sources of the discrepan-
cies and provide the information necessary for
their correction. (Author)

The primary purpose of this project was to con-
duct an investigation to locate hidden or unk-
nown drift mine openings in the Browns Creek
Watershed in Harrison County. West Virginia.
Thirty unknown openings were discovered in
an initial reconnaissance. Additional probing
using power driven augers was not successful
and was deemed impractical. Three specific
areas within the watershed were selected for
further scrutiny. The bottom of the highwall line
in the strip mined area was determined by land
surveyors and this information was plotted on
old mine maps to indicate the intersection of
the stripping with underground mining. A
minimum of 107 mine drifts were shown to be
exposed by the 14,500 feet of highwall surveyed
in the three areas, (wrsic abstract).

The study was conducted to determine the
causes and the extent of urban and suburban
soil erosion and sediment problems, and to
describe ways in which local communities can
organize and implement effective sedimenta-
tion control programs. An evaluation is pro-
vided on the state-of-the-art of urban sedimen-
tation control, and a series of research needs in
the sedimentation field is cited. In addition, this
report includes the 'Community Action Guide-
book for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control'
which describes methods by which local
governments can organize, plan, finance, staff,
and implement urban sedimentation control
programs. Aspects of areawide approaches,
legal authority, and public support for sedimen-
tation control are discussed, and an action plan
is outlined. It was found that soil erosion and
sediment in developing areas is extensive, and
that these problems pose significant threats to
both soil and water resources. While many of
the required technical means for controlling
sedimentation problems already exist, new ad-
ministrative approaches are needed which ac-
commodate the diversity of interests and pres-
sures associated with urban and suburban
development. (WRSIC Abstract).

Grasses were grown in hydroponic culture
tanks to evaluate their nutrient removal capa-
bilities when supplied with secondary-treated
sewage effluent as the sole source of plant
nutrients. Statistical methods were employed to
determine the effects of the grasses, flow rates,
and seasons on nutrient removal. Two control
tanks with gravel bed and no grass were main-
tained throughout the study, two were planted
with tall (Ky 31) fescue, and two were planted
with perennial ryegrass. Two flow rates were
maintained in each pair of tanks, approximately
one-day and two-day detention times. All six
tanks were effective in reducing the oxygen-de-
manding organic content of the effluent. Total
nitrogen content was reduced appreciably by
the control tanks, but the grass tanks were sig-
nificantly better at nitrogen removal. Total
phosphorus concentrations were reduced only
slightly by passage through the tanks. The fast
flow rate tanks produced the greater grass
yields, while the slow flow rate tanks were more
effective in nutrient removal from the sewage
effluent. From grass yield and analyses data,
the amount of plant nutrient material removed
by the grasses was small compared to the total
quantity supplied. (Author)

The role of Chemoautrophic organisms in the
formation of acid mine drainage from pyritic
materials associated with coal mining has been
investigated by pilot plant techniques. Dynamic
flow, controlled environment units which
served as models of mines were used. It was
demonstrated that the concentration of acidity,
ferrous and total iron and sulfate in the effluent
from aerobic, biologically-seeded or unseeded
pyritic beds is zero order with respect to flow,
except at low flow rates where mass transport is
diffusion limited. Algal growth occurred in the
acidic, aerobic environment but did not affect
acid production. Nonaerobic systems produce
acidity consisting only of ferrous iron. Total
acidity is lower from biologically-seeded than -
nonseeded aerobic systems Acid mine
drainage was not significantly affected by seed-
ing with the individual or a mixture of three dif-
ferent organisms but was increased by recycle
of the flow and increased appreciably under
forced aeration. The rate'is directly related to
the available pyrite surface area. (WRSIC ab-

The document was prepared by the Nuclear
Medicine Laboratory of the Division of Medical
Radiation Exposure. The purpose of this
research was to establish and describe the use
of the various nuclear reactions by which 1231,
a superior, low-radiation dose radiophar-
maceutical, can be cyclotron-produced. Herein
are reported both the methods of directly
producing 1231 and those which indirectly
produce the radionuclide through the positive
beta decay of its natural precursor. 123Xe. It is
impossible to separate 1231 from the
troublesome radioiodine contaminants, notably
1241, which occur in the direct method. Thus, it
is much preferable to produce pure 1231 from
123Xe, which is easily separated from the
radioiodines. It is hoped that the findings of this
research will stimulate the use of 1231. Among
its desirable characteristics is the capability of
reducing the patient dose in a thyroid uptake
measurement to a very small percentage of that
delivered by the more commonly used 1311.
Since 1311 has been found responsible for most
of the absorbed tissue dose in nuclear
medicine, general adoption of pure 1231 could
have far-reaching effects in reducing the medi-
cal radiation dose to the pulalion. (Author)

A general guide for studying water quality of
streams is presented. Specific procedures
peculiar to stream pollution studies are dealt
with at some length. General principles and
techniques rather than exact methodology are
covered. For example, various techniques are
given by which time-of-water travel may be
measured, rather than an exact description of
dye-concentration measurement. Each
chapter, except the last, is devoted to a single
factor, principle or procedure involved in stu-
dies of water quality. One chapter, for example,
deals with objectives of stream studies. It lists
some of the reasons for conducting studies and
discusses the importance of careful and
thorough delineation of the objectives of a par-
ticular study before it starts. Another chapter
has suggestions for preparation of a report on
water quality. The last chapter suggests an or-
derly sequence for the conduct of stream stu-
dies. It attempts to wrap the essence of the
preceding chapters in one package, without ex-
cessive repetition. The material is limited to in-
formation that is not ordinarily found in text-
books and technical articles. (WRSIC abstract)

The state of technology of electrostatic
precipitation for paniculate emission control is
reported. The report is intended to serve as a
basic handbook on the subject of electrostatic
precipitation covering the entire system includ-
ing fundamental theory, design, operation, and
application. Its purpose is to provide a source
of information that will be of benefit to the
researcher, manufacturer, and user of electro-
static precipitators. The systems study included
a review of literature pertaining to electrostatic
precipitation, a comprehensive review of
Precipitator fundamentals, a survey and review
of the use of precipitators in each of eight major
application areas, and a review of the potential
for electrostatic precipitators in new applica-
tions. In order to provide information useful to a
wide range of users, this manual is organized to
present a general review of the precipitation
process, with qualitative relationships between
the various precipitator functions, and a
detailed quantitative analysis of each of the
system functions. Particular emphasis is placed
on the validity of the theoretical derivations in
view of the assumptions made and the sig-
nificance of the interaction of variables of im-
portance in precipitator operation. Further
discussions include mechanical design con-
siderations, energization equipment, gas flow,
operational problems, and the current utiliza-
tion of precipitators in the major application
areas. (Author)

The purpose of the study was to identify the
costs and to assess the economic impact of
controlling air pollution from gray iron foun-
dries. Two principal considerations commend
the gray iron foundry industry to this type of
study. First, the industry is an important source
of particulate pollution in most urban
metropolitan areas (170.000 tons in 1968).
Second, the industry includes a large number
of small establishments that may find it difficult
to finance the purchase and operation of pollu-
tion control equipment. Approximately a third
of all companies in this industry employ less
than 20 employees. Pollution control costs are
examined for the various types of systems com-
monly applied to reduce furnace emissions.
Factors that may influence control costs are
tested between the different types of control
systems and within types of a systems. Costs of
control are measured against the economic
strength of the industry and against the finan-
cial condition of firms in the industry. Two types
of data were collected, individual company data
and aggregated industry data. All the known
producers of gray iron were surveyed by mail in
1968 to determine which ones had installed pol-
lution control equipment, the types of equip-
ment, and the costs.

Biologists engaged in pollution investigations
and research often work alone and are
somewhat isolated. For some time, therefore,
there had been recognized a need for a con-
ference of those engaged in the study of biolog-
ical problems in water pollution control, to
acquaint them with current developments and
new methods of approach, and to enable them
to become acquainted with other workers in the
field. The first such gathering was held as a
seminar at the Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineer-
ing Center, April 23 • 27,1956. The seminar con-
sisted of panel discussions and was planned so
that most of the time was devoted to commen-
tary from the floor with only short presentations
by panel members. Subjects discussed were:
(1) Use and Value of Bioassays; (2) Use and
Value of Biological Indicators of Pollution: (3)
Current Investigations in Water Pollution Biolo-
gy: (4) Water Quality Criteria for Aquatic Life:
and (5) Training of Sanitary Aquatic Biologists.

Four alternate methods suggested in the report
which this Oiie supplements are explained in
detail. The most economical method to deter-
mine the reduction of sulfur from a given raw
coal is based on beneficiation equipment cur-
rently used by coal washing contractors; it in-
volves extensive laboratory testing from suita-
ble raw coal samples. If carried out in one of the
existing government laboratories it would in-
volve no capital investment; operating costs
would also be small. In case a plant is desired to
demonstrate in actual practice the reduction of
sulfur as well as to generate data for a given
coal, it will be of substantial value both from a
scientific and commercial standpoint to build a
full scale commercial plant. Being capable of
operation at a full commercial rate, this facility
would be able to provide an adequate return on
the total investment. It would be an added ad-
vantage if cooperation could be obtained from
a large coal company to run the plant. (Author)

The report contains two studies. In the first,
high concentrations of sodium chloride and
sodium sulfate were observed in a town with a
high concentration of textile mills. Sludge
digestion was very poor. A toxic synergism
between sodium chloride and sodium sulfate
(sulfide) was hypothecated. Data indicated a
marked reduction in gas production through a
bi-sulfide ion effect upon the first stage
microorganisms. The methane organisms ap-
peared to starve rather than suffer a toxic effect
from an accumulation of first stage by-
products. Inert salt concentration had very little
effect In the second, synthetic surfactants were
studied. It was found that biodegradable
synthetic detergents now used in place of salt
to cause dye uptake require long periods of
aerobic treatment because of interference by
foam in floe development. (Author)

Digester supernatant contains high concentra-
tions of nitrogen and phosphorus. Also, poor
quality supernatant discharged from an anaero-
bic digester can have an adverse effect on the
overall efficiency of a wastewater treatment
plant. The report discusses the building and
demonstrating of a unique, trailer-mounted,
and completely self-contained pilot plant. The
pilot plant is designed to investigate the im-
provement of digester supernatant quality, with
particular emphasis on the removal of nitrogen
and phosphorus. The pilot plant treatment
sequence consists of carbon dioxide removal
via air-stripping, lime precipitation of
phosphorus and carbonaceous particulate
matter, and removal of nitrogen by packed-
tower ammonia-stripping. The pilot plant was
operated over a two-month period at a trickling
filter plant where two-stage anaerobic
digestion is practiced It was found that 80-95%
of supernatant phosphorus could be removed
at a lime dosage equal to 50 pounds of hydrated
lime per pound of phosphorus removed
Average ammonia-nitrogen removal was 82%,
achieved at an air flow rate equal to 83,000
cubic feet of air per pound of NH3-N removed.
Normal lime precipitation removed about one-
half of the supernatant TOC, COD, AND Organic
Nitrogen. The average decrease in suspended
solids was 64%. (Author)

A continuous precipitation and countercurrent
filtration process was evaluated for the removal
of phosphorus from municipal wastewater
Using alum and an anionic polyelectrolyte, the
process was found to effectively reduce total
phosphorus (TP), orthophosphate (OP) and
condensed phosphate (CP) over a wide range
of influent phosphorus concentrations Prelimi-
nary work using jar tests established an alum
dose of 200 mg/l (17.4 mg/l Al, molar ratio of
AI1P is 27/31) as effective for removal of 90 per
cent TP from the secondary clarifier effluent of
a trickling filter plant. This removal efficiency
could not be sustained with an alum dose of
200 mg/l when higher TP levels were encoun-
tered. Substantial reductions in final effluent
total suspended solids (TSS) and 5-day
biochemical oxygen demand (BODS) were also
obtained The 200 mg/l alum dose was also
found to be equally effective for removal of
phosphorus from raw sewage and primary ef-
fluent with the added capability for removing
substantial portions of the TSS and BOD5
Costs for a 1.0 MGD plant are estimated to be
$264,000 for capital and 12.0 cents per 1000 gal
for total operating cost. Ultimate disposal of the
phosphorus-containing sludge could be
achieved by a dewatering and landfill opera-
tion. (Author)

Preparation of nitrate-specific ion-exchange
resins, which incorporate selected primary
amines grafted onto polystyrene, has been in-
vestigated. The best selectivity for nitrate ion
over chloride ion was obtained with the 1-
naphthylmethlaminomethyl derivative of
polystyrene (1-NMA resin). Nitrate was ad-
sorbed quantitatively from feed solutions con-
taining five times as much chloride ion as
nitrate ion. Under identical conditions, com-
mercial weak-base resins removed only 70% of
the nitrate ion. The 1-NMA resin could be
regenerated repeatedly in the chloride form by
HCI. but attempts at alkaline regeneration led to
irreproducible results. Recommendations for
future work include investigation of the effects
of crosslinking, addition of hydrophilic func-
tional groups, quaternization of the amine, and
incorporation of different, nitrate-selective.

The purpose was to develop and field test new
concepts for watertight mine seal and bulkhead
construction applicable to abatement of acid
mine water pollution Laboratory research
determined proper materials, equipment and
techniques for constructing mine seals or bulk-
heads. Field testing was conducted on remedial
grouting techniques for constructing mine
seals or bulkheads. Two new processes were
developed One involved a technique of placing
a plug or graded limestone aggregate in a mine
drift or portal to neutralize an acid mine water
discharge until a seal was effected. The second
process consisted of remotely constructing a
mine seal including rear and front bulkheads of
a self-supporting, quick-setting sodium silicate
cement specifically developed for this applica-
tion. A filler material of expansive cement was
used between the bulkheads to complete the
seal Field testing in West Virginia substan-
tiated the feasibility of both processes when
two aggregate and two bulkhead type seals
were placed in abandoned mines which had
drainage flows up to 58 gallons per minute.
Cost of the seals are reported. (Author)

An investigation was conducted of the rate,
mechanism and stoichiometry of phosphate
precipitation with aluminum and ferric salts
from pure phosphate solutions and secondary
effluent. These studies showed that the reac-
tions of orthophosphate ion with both Al(lll) and
Fe(lll) are completed in less than 1 second The
effects of pH, reactant concentration, and re-
agent aging on the efficiency of phosphate
removal were evaluated in batch precipitation
experiments. The pH of optimum
orthophosphate precipitation was found to be
close to 6.0 for Al(lll) and in the vicinity of 3.5 to
4.0 for Fe(lll). At constant pH. with both Fe(lll)
and Al(lll) up to about a 1:1 molar ratio,
orthophosphate removal was directly propor-
tional to amount of added cation, indicating oc-
currence of a chemical reaction. Dilute solu-
tions of Fe(lll) were found to undergo extensive
hydrolysis on aging with a resultant loss of
capacity to precipitate phosphate. The removal
of condensed phosphates by precipitation with
aluminum and iron salts was found to be
strongly dependent on pH and the reactant
concentration ratio. Precipitates obtained in
the reaction of orthophosphate with aluminum
and ferric salts were examined by X-ray diffrac-
tion analysis after drying and heating to 104C
and to 600C. Both precipitates remained
amorphous, except that ferric phosphate was
identified after ignition at 600C. (WRSIC ab-

settleable floes. Immediately outside this range,
poorly settling fine turbidity developed. At pH
levels above this region, some residual turbidity
was generally observed. No turbidity or
precipitation was observed at very low pH
levels. The results suggest thatorthophosphate
removal with La(lll) occurs solely through a
chemical reaction and not through an adsorp-
tion process. With secondary effluent, as with
pure solutions, lower residual phosphate
resulted over a wider pH range with La(lll) than
with Al(lll); no pH adjustment is needed for ef-
fective removal with La(lll), while considerable
amounts of acid or excess Al(lll) are required to
achieve the optimum pH of 6 for phosphate
removal. (WRSIC abstract)

Many ot the proposed processes that reduce
orthophosphate in the effluents from sewage
treatment plants result in the extracted
phosphate being concentrated in the digester
supernatant This phosphate must be removed
prior to disposal of the supernatant or its recy-
cle back to the head of the treatment plant.
Digester supernatant was treated in two ways.
The first was to add magnesia and elevate the
pH to 9 to cause precipitation of the
phosphorus The other technique was to apply
heat and/or vacuum to the digester supernatant
which caused precipitation of the soluble
orthophosphate A 90% removal of
orthophosphate can be achieved by either ap-

Improved experimental equipment and analyti-

study of the reaction between Limestone 2061
and SO2 in flue gas. Progress was made in
analysis of results and development of
techniques for prediction of performance of the
process in a boiler by means of both empirical
and theoretical evaluation of various aspects of
the process. Results obtained for Limestone
2061 indicate: (1) maximum reactivity at injec-
tion temperatures not exceeding about 2200 F,
(2) reduced sorption efficiency at low S02 con-
centration, (3) possible improvement in the effi-
ciency of the process at excess oxygen levels
above 3 percent, and (4) reduced efficiency as a
result of use of precalcined stone. (Author)

The feasibility was studied of recovering the un-
reacted lime from limestone modified flyash by
froth flotation of 200 x 325 mesh fractions.
Grades of lime recovered were as high as 80
percent; 47.6 percent grade had been obtained
in the preliminary tests However, as lime grade
increased, the recovery of lime decreased. This
was attributed to the embedding of small
siliceous particles in the lime constituents and
the coating of the siliceous coal ash fraction
with soluble lime. Tests have indicated that the
lime may be liberated by attritional scrubbing
and that carbonation and the use of chemical
modifiers reduce coating of the siliceous coal
ash fractions with lime. Employment of car-
bonation for pH and soluble lime control,
modifiers for zeta potential control, ag-
glomerate (emulsion) flotation and recleaning
of the lime concentrates did not improve the
yield and grade of lime to permit recovery of a
majority of the lime in a highly concentrated
form. (Author)

Efficient absorption of SO2 at flue gas concen-
trations can be effected through the use of dry,
fluidized basic materials in the range of 50 to 60
C, if sufficient water is incorporated into the gas
phase upstream of sorbent contactor. The for-
mation of sulfate can be essentially eliminated
in a fluidized bed absorber, and reduced to a
very low value in an aqueous absorber, through
the use of ferrous ion in an aqueous
prescrubber to reduce N02 to NO. The thermal
decomposition of both zinc and magnesium
sulfites is markedly promoted by the presence
of steam. A new process for the removal of S02
from flue gas is described in which dry fluidized
zinc oxide is used as the absorbent. The oxide
is recovered for reuse upon thermal decom-
position of the resulting sulfite, and the
liberated SO2 is recovered as such. Little or no
sulfate is formed. NOx (especially NO2) is the
major contributor to oxidation of the sorbent in
aqueous solution systems. The efficiency of
SO2 removal from flue gas is not affected by the
presence of NOx. The economics of the con-
ceptualized fluidized-bed zinc oxide process
appear to be superior to other regenerable
processes for the removal of SO2 from due
gases (Author)

Ammonia scrubbing and production of
phosphate fertilizer has promise, under certain
conditions, as a method for recovering sulfur
oxides from stack gases. The main economic
factors are product volume (depending on
power plant size and S content of coal), net
sales revenue, and basis of financing. Private
industry participation in financing and opera-
tion appears unlikely because of the high pro-
jected cash flow necessary to attract capital
There is a net profit for plants about 500 mw
and larger but it is not large enough to attract
investment except perhaps under special con-
ditions The situation is improved if there is
supplemental income in the lorm of a payment
for the service of sulfur oxide control; in this
case the larger product volumes (eg., 1000 mw
at 3.5% S in coal or 500 mw at 5% S) give a pro-
jected total income adequate for financing The
economics under power industry financing are
more promising. For plants 500-600 mw and
larger in size the recovery method is favored
over limestone- wet scrubbing because there is
less deficit passed on to the power consumer
after payment to investors of the regulated
return on investment. Only a few recovery in-
stallations of this type can be accommodated
by the fertilizer market (Author)

In order to clarify the mechanism of ice-fog for-
mation, various atmospheric factors in ice fogs
such as size and concentration of ice-fog
crystals, condensation nuclei and ice nuclei,
amount of water vapor, temperature profile
near the sources of ice fog, etc. were measured
Nuclei of the ice-fog crystals were studied by
use of an electron microscope and electron-dif-
fraction. Most nuclei of ice-fog crystals were
combustion by-products and many individual
crystals collected near open water did not have
a nucleus, especially at emperatures below -
40C. Dust particles or particles from air pollu-
tion are not essential for formation of ice fog;
they merely stimulate freezing of water droplets
a! higher temperatures than the spontaneous
freezing temperature. The essential factor is to
first form many water droplets in the at-
mosphere through condensation of water
vapor Based on these measurements and cal-
culations of time required for water droplets to
freeze, a physical mechanism of ice fog forma-
tion is proposed as follows: (t) Water vapor
coming from open water which is exposed to a
low temperature atmosphere, plus water vapor
from various exhausts of combustion
processes is released into the almost ice-satu-
rated atmosphere and condenses into water
droplets. (2) The droplets freeze very shortly
after their formation and before entirely
evaporating. (3) Such ice particles do not
evaporate or grow much and stay in the at-
mosphere with insignificant fall out. and (4)
These processes operate more efficiently in
colder environments. (Author)

The debate concerning the linear or threshold
response of somatic radiation injury has
recently been focused on the human radium
toxicity studies. Because of the critical public
health significance of the data derived from
these studies, a task group from the Division of
Biological Effects of the Bureau of Radiological
Health undertook a review of the available
human and animal radium studies for the pur-
pose of determining the extent to which animal
and human data are sufficient to resolve the
questions of a dose-response relationship. The
review contained in this report indicates that
the animal and human radium experience to
date is not sufficient to specify an unequivocal
dose-response model. Therefore, in the low
dose regions expected to be experienced by the
general public, the assumption of a linear, non-
threshold model continues to be a prudent
health philosophy for standards setting.

The document was prepared to assist state and

emission control regulations for contact sul-
furic acid plants. The types and sources of air
pollution in the contact sulfuric acid plant are
discussed, and guidelines based on optimal use
of available control technology are presented to
assist agencies in developing regulations com-
patible with local conditions. Contact sulfuric
acid plants can be designed to meet an SO2-
tail-gas-emission ceiling of 6.5 Ib/ton of acid
produced. This is equivalent to the level attaina-
ble with both dual-absorption plants and com-
mercially operating SO2-control processes. Ap-
propriate equipment is commercially available
and could be installed in all new and existing
acid plants to reduce the acid mist emission
levels to 05 Ib/ton of acid produced. Efficient
absorber operation can limit sulfur trioxide
levels to 0.2 Ib/ton acid produced on both new
and existing installations. (Author)

A systems evaluation was made to determine
the engineering feasibility and probable
economics of mining coal in an active deep
mine in an oxygen free atmosphere using cur-
rent technology in the application of life sup-
port systems to conventional coaj mining
techniques. A detailed investigation was con-
ducted into the application and suitability of
commercially available inert gas generators, life
support clothing and equipment, and personnel
communications systems. Three sites were in-
vestigated for a demonstration mine. The in-
vestigation revealed it is feasible from an en-
gineering standpoint to mine coal in an oxygen
free atmosphere. Life support and associated
equipment are available essentially off-the-
shelf. A deep mine using conventional mining
equipment can be designed to operate in an ox-
ygen free atmosphere. The comparative
economics are extremely favorable when
methane gas is recovered and sold (Author)

Basic experiments were conducted to establish
the feasibility of foam fractionation in the treat-
ment of acid coal mine drainage for the removal
of the metal ions iron, calcium, manganese and
magnesium. The independent variables con-
trolling foam separation of metal ions were
determined to be the concentration ratio of sur-
factant to iron, the air volume throughput, the
foam drainage time, the total dissolved salt
content and the type of surfactant used. The
major part of iron, calcium, manganese and
magnesium can be foam separated from acid
solution by proper control of the independent
variables Reduction of residual surfactant con-
centration in the treated water and reduction of
water entrained with the foam are two areas in
need of further investigation. Foam separation
was tested on acid drainage, partially lime
neutralized drainage and complete limestone
neutralized drainage Tests on model solutions
indicate that treatment of raw acid drainage is
most feasible at present. Operating and capital
costs are estimated for 0.1 and 1.0 MGD batch

Lime, limestone, and soda ash were studied as
neutralizing agents for treatment of a ferric iron
acid mine drainage water. Both continuous
flow and batch tests were used to determine the
effectiveness of each of these neutralizing
agents in reaction with acid mine water. Com-
parisons made between the three neutralizing
agents include: chemical costs, reaction effi-
ciencies, effluent water qualities, sludge set-
tling rates, sludge volumes, and percent solids
of sludges. All three neutralizing agents were
capable of treating acid mine drainage. Lime
costs were half that of limestone for treating the
same acid mine drainage because of the low
utilization of limestone. However, the charac-
teristics of the limestone sludge were superior
to those of lime and soda ash sludges. The cost
for soda ash treatment was excessive. Further
research on improving limestone utilization is
under way. No difference in reaction efficiency
were found in dry feeding or slurry feeding the
neutralizing agents. Aeration during and/or
after the limestone reaction merely increased
the effluent pH but failed to increase limestone
useage efficiency or improve effluent quality.

An evaluation of the water quality aspects ger-
mane to the spillage of hazardous polluting
substances is developed. Emphasis is placed
on definition and classification of chemical
materials; the nature of the sources of spillage
and past experience; and analysis of the rela-
tive threat to water quality offered by such sub-
stances; a review of presently available detec-
tion, control, and removal technology; relation-
ship to water quality standards; and the rele-
vant administrative, enforcement, and cost
recovery aspects. Over 800 chemical sub-
stances were evaluated as to their annual
production and transport quantities, their criti-
cal concentration in the aquatic environment
resulting in water quality impairment for the
several beneficial water uses, detection limits
(both field and laboratory), and the control and
removal methods presently available or poten-
tially practicable. Over 250 chemicals and com-
pounds, generally those in large scale produc-
tion and utilization, are priority ranked in order
of relative threat to water quality in terms of an-
nual production/sales, intrinsic hazard to water
quality, transport mode, and past statistical ac-
cident frequency. Recommendations are
presented regarding future research and
development efforts aimed at mitigating
damage and a consensus of informed parties is
presented relating to the need for additional

This conceptual engineering study concerns
the reclamation of combined sewer overflows
and utilization of the reclaimed waters in a
major water-oriented recreational facility for
the District of Columbia. The investigation en-
compasses a comprehensive solution of en-
vironmental problems by proposing multi-use
objectives and facilities. Principal objectives of
the project included: (1) evaluation of rainfall
runoff relationships for sizing of storage and
treatment plant capacities; (2) confirmation of
treatment feasibility using filtration and an ac-
tivated carbon process; and (3) development of
sufficient data for preliminary design purposes.
Laboratory studies not only demonstrated
process feasibility, but showed the need for in-
cluding flocculation and sedimentation for
removal of minute particles, together with
chlorine and iodine addition for maximum dis-
infection. The recommended storage/treatment
plan provides for a 175 million gallon storage
basin, a 50 million-gallon-per-day reclamation
facility and two 46-acre swimming and boating
lakes. Cost effectiveness (Cost/Benefit Ratio) of
the project are given. (Author)

The literature on household water quantity and
quality requirements was reviewed, an average
water use pattern postulated, and the amount
of water used in various households functions
was estimated. Comparisons of different water
saving devices were made on a cost basis.
Water quality is considered from three points of
view: health, aesthetics, and engineering suita-
bil.ity. The future water demands may neces-
sitate very strict disposal requirements and
multiple water quality levels although the
present standards do not tend to allow the use
of several levels of water quality such as using
laundering effluent for toilet flushing. Waste
disposal problems of homes not connected to
central sewerage systems were discussed. Sep-
tic tanks, change of phase processes, mem-
brane processes, electrolytic processes, and
other processes were evaluated, mainly on a
cost basis. Most of the methods considered do
not appear to be suitable for individual
households at this time but with changes in
economic factors and technical improvements
some of these methods may be attractive for fu-
ture use. A survey of homeowners, architects-
engineers, plumbers and plumbing equipment
manufacturers was conducted to obtain
representative reactions to methods used to
control water quantity and quality and waste
water treatment processes. (Author)

The report documents the exhaust emission of
light, piston engine aircraft and the phenomena
of natural afterburning of the exhaust gases on
contact with the ambient air. The approach
used in the study was to measure the exhaust
emissions of representative aircraft as they
were flown In a normal manner. At the same
time, the extent of afterburning was measured
by sampling the exhaust plume downstream of
the exhaust stack and comparing the plume
composition, corrected for dilution, to the com-
position of the stack gases. The exhaust emis-
sions from nine light aircraft were determined
using a 9-mode takeoff-cruise-landing (TCL)
cycle developed for this study. Exhaust com-
ponent concentrations and fuel consumption
rates were measured for each mode during ten
test flights per aircraft. The pollutant concen-
trations were converted to emission rates per
pound of fuel, per minute, per mode, per TCL
cycle, and per landing-takeoff (LTO) cycle.

Estimates were made of the costs of controlling
and reducing the emissions of selected pollu-
tants from mobile sources within the Nation
and pollutants from 23 stationary sources
within 298 metropolitan areas. Under the as-
sumed implementation plan, these estimated
costs are those that will be incurred during the
period of Fiscal Year 1971 through Fiscal Year
1976. In addition, an extended analysis was
made to determine the economic impact of
control costs on each industrial source or
group of industrial sources studied.Also, the
aggregate effects of the impact of individual in-
dustries upon buyer industries and consumer
prices are determined. The pollutants from mo-
bile sources selected for analysis are hydrocar-
bons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and
particulates. The six pollutants for which con-
trol cost estimates are made for stationary
sources are particulates, sulfur oxides, carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons, fluorides, and lead.
Emission standards applied are considered
stringent in comparison with many currently in
use throughout the Nation. (Author)

A program to incorporate biological denitrifica-
tion into a waste water treatment system was
undertaken with the objective of developing a
process that depends exclusively on the carbon
compounds contained in the waste water to
supply metabolic energy to the microflora. In
the experimental program the incoming
nitrogenous material was oxidized to nitrate in
an aerobic phase and reduced to nitrogen gas
in an anaerobic phase. Conditions for develop-
ing a nitrifying microflora were investigated
using a primary waste water effluent as feed.
Anaerobic batch experiments were carried out
to determine if stored reserves could support
denitrification. Under appropriate conditions
almost 100% of the nitrates could be reduced.
The effluent from the aerobic unit served as the
feed for the anaerobic process. At appropriate
intervals this situation was reversed by
switching the airflows and feed sources. Over
95% of the waste water nitrogen in waste water
was removed. Nitrate-nitrogen removal rates
ranged from 0.600 to 1.00 mg/hr/g MLVS. A
mathematical model was developed which
described the response to cycled aerobic-
anaerobic operation. The alternating cycle ap-
proach was shown to be an effective method for
removing nitrogen from waste water. (Author)

The urban air pollution damage function as it is
registered in differential market prices of re-
sidential property was investigated. By using
somewhat more complex specifications and a
set of data appearing to have greater informa-
tional content, the sensitivity of damage func-
tions derived by means of differential land
values to differential land values to differences
in specifications and differences in data was
ascertained. If results do not appear overly sen-
sitive to data and specification differences, then
simpler and less costly specifications and data
sets can be used to obtain the damage function
with little or no loss in information. Everything
else being equal, a control instrument more
likely to approach a continuing minimization of
the sum of emitter control costs and receptor
damage costs can then be employed. Less ob-
tusely stated, the question being asked here is
whether any additional worthwhile information
about urban air pollution damage functions can
be obtained by working with property value
models having somewhat more complex
specifications and more complete data than in
previous studies. (Author)

study of the river was to understand the physi-
cal, chemical, and biological limnology of the
river system and what effect man's influence-
past, present and future-has on the river. A
flood control dam is planned for the river above
the city of Fairbanks. Significant modification
of the water quality and biota of the river can be
expected following the construction of the
dam. Proper management of the flow from the
impoundment can reduce the objectionable ef-
fects of this dam on the river system. (Author)

Various enteric organisms were exposed to ax-
enic cultures of green and blue-green algae to
determine what effect the algae might have.
Tests were extended to 90 days to determine
whether aftergrowth was possible. Mixed cul-
tures of both green and blue-green algae were
exposed to both single species and mixed cul-
tures of enteric bacteria, at varying stages of
the algae growth periods. Results indicated that
mixed cultures do have a pronounced bacter-
icidal effect on enteric organisms, while for sin-
gle alga species, the effect is less pronounced.
Also, the bactericidal effects are more specific
for pathogens, with virtually no aftergrowth of
pathogens detected. (WRSIC abstract)

A comparison was made of expanded-bed and
packed-bed modes of operation of activated
carbon adsorption systems in the direct
physico-chemical treatment of raw sewage and
primary effluent. The project involved extended
field testing of a pilot scale treatment system of
chemical clarification followed by adsorption.
The expanded-bed and packed-bed modes of
operation demonstrated essentially equivalent
removal of organic matter from the chemically
clarified effluent. When a 24 ft. settled depth of
activated carbon was used, both systems con-
sistently produced a clear, treated water with an
average organic content of only 3-5 mg/l. mea-
sured either as TOC or BOD. The expanded bed
mode offered several advantages: (1) it
eliminates plugging or fouling with particulate
matter and air binding: (2) feed pressure
remains constant and maintenance require-
ments are minimal: and (3) it provides an op-
portunity for a degree of natural aeration. Esti-
mated cost for treating raw waste water in a 10
MGD plant by this process is about 20 cents per
1000 gal. with a total estimated investment of
$4,000,000. (WRSIC abstract)

slurries, using a laboratory size thin channel
(0.1 sq ft membrane area), have been dewatered
by continuous ultrafiltration to solids levels of
25 to 30%. Dewatering rates ranged between 50
and 100 gal/sq ft day at transmembrane pres-
sures of from 10 to 50 psi during runs as long as
9 days, and product water was invariably free of
any suspended carbon solids The cost of mem-
brane ultrafiltration depends upon the mem-
brane life, and at membrane flux rates of 50
gal/sq ft day the cost of dewatering carbon
from 10 to 20% solids is $0.0015 per pound of
carbon with a membrane life of six months, and
$0.0035 per pound with a membrane life of only
one month. At the present no conclusive data
on membrane life is available, but estimates of
between 1 and 6 months are quite common and
seen to be reasonable. (WFtSIC abstract)

ing of two prototype electroosmotic pumps. It
was determined that electroosmosis can be ap-
plied to dewatering waste sludges of various
types. For efficient dewatering from very wet
sludge (2%) to burnable solids, it is necessary
to orient the pumping apparatus with a cathode
screen beneath the anode so that an initial
sludge film can be formed by gravity settling at
the cathode surface. Sludge cannot be
thickened to a solids level exceeding 20% if the
cake is beneath the liquid level of the sludge
suspension and for drying beyond the 20%
value, the cake must be brought out of the
liquid. (WRSIC abstract)

Pilot-scale studies dealing with the use of recir-

ing activated sludge plant effluent were stu-
died. Evaluation of all available materials led to
selection of Darco S-51 activated powdered
carbon and Purifloc C-32 polyelectrolyte floc-
culating agent, with 6 to 7 mg/l of polyelec-
trolyte required at a carbon feed rate of up to
140 mg/l. 30% greater carbon efficiency, as op-
posed to a single stage conventional unit, was
achieved with a single slurry unit, while results
for two series clarifiers were comparable to that
of two conventional counter-current adsorption
systems requiring multiple agitated tanks,
clarifiers, and filters. Estimated costs for a 10
mgd plant with 240 mg/l and 8 mg/l dosages of
carbon and polyelectrolytes respectively are
$0.15/1000 gal for a 10 mgd plant, and
$0.12.7/1000 gal for a 100 mgd plant. Further
cost reductions could be possible in the event
that effluent quality restrictions would allow a
decrease in the carbon dosages. (WRSIC ab-

Results of research conducted on the regenera-
tion of spent powdered carbon is described.
The study was directed toward the development
of a fluidized-bed regeneration technique in
which two systems were investigated. One was
a system in which the dried spent carbon was
regenerated during its passage through a
fluidized-bed of inert material while the other
system consisted of a pulsating fluidized-bed
system in which the finely divided regenerated
carbon served as the bed material. Although
both systems restored the spent powdered car-
bon to 90% of its original adsorptive capacity
and recovered 80% by weight, the fluidized
inert bed was chosen for larger scale develop-
ment because of its higher unit capacity. A
pilot-scale unit was designed and constructed
to process 30 pounds of spent carbon in an 8

hour period. The results indicated that
regenerated carbon was as effective as virgin
carbon for organic removal for at least 3.6 cy-
cles through the system. As economic analysis
indicated that operating costs would be about 1
cent per pound (or a commercial plant produc-
ing 20,000 pounds of regenerated carbon per
day. (WRSIC abstract)

Laboratory scale anaerobic digestion studies
were carried out to determine the effect of high-
shear mixing on the degradation of lipids. The
studies showed that the intensity of mixing
must be carefully tailored to the rate and type of
feed if benefits are to be realized. Dog food,
cottonseed oil, and motor oil were fed to the
digesters daily as slug loads. When properly
operated, the 15 replicate digesters gave
reproducible results with good precision. High-
shear mixing has little effect on degradation of
dog food and was deleterious to lime-buffered
solutions heavily loaded with cotton seed oil.
When soda ash was used as a buffering agent,
heavy loads of oil caused the digester to 'go
sour' regardless of the mixing system Under
some conditions homogenization led to serious
foaming in the digestors. Kinetic data and
chemical analysis of drawdown samples con-
firmed the hypothesis that homogenization or
soda ash buffering can accelerate the hydroly-
sis of a heavy load of fat to a point where the
saponification products over load the methane
fermentation. Motor oil was not readily digested
but did not appear to influence the digestion of
cottonseed oil or dog food. Other observations
were: (1) more rapid gasification occurs as the
feed rate increases: (2) lime and soda ash can-
not be used interchangeably as buffers; and (3)
feed COD cannot be used to predict methane
yield. (Author)

The productive efficiency and costs associated
with residential satellite vehicle collection
systems are quantitatively evaluated and com-
pared with conventional collection systems for
collecting residential solid waste. Those factors
that affect efficiency and economy were quan-
titatively analyzed to develop models that can
predict collection cost and crew efficiency with
a high degree of accuracy and provide a practi-
cal and reliable basis for designing future col-
lection systems using satellite vehicles. Four
makes of satellite vehicles (Cushman, Trashmp-
bile, Westcoaster, and Trash Taxi) operating in
six communities with diverse terrain, type of
collection agency, and collection frequency
were chosen for the study. These small three-
or four-wheeled vehicles transport wastes from
the dwelling unit storage point to a packer truck
for ultimate transfer to a disposal site. The vehi-
cles reportedly work best in areas with single-
family homes where housing density is medium
to low. The costs, which could not be compared
because they occurred under distinctively dif-
ferent conditions, are measured as 'annual cost
per dwelling' rather than as 'cost per ton '

The report describes the experimental results
of two techniques for the removal of particulate

the size range 0.1 -0.8 microns in a packed bed.
The effect of gas-packing temperature dif-
ferential, packing material, packing shape and
size, contamination buildup, and gas velocity
on collection efficiency of the bed was studied
Experimental results show that collection effi-
ciency of the packed bed device depends
primarily on the gas-packing temperature dif-
ferential. The second technique was based on
the use of sonic waves to increase the collisions
between the aerosol particles and the relatively
coarse particles of a fluidized bed. and hence
increase the collection efficiency. The effect of
sound frequency, gas velocity, and power input
to the sound driver units was studied. Experi-
mental results showed that there was no signifi-
cant effect of sound frequency, in the range
250-2700 HZ, on collection efficiency of the

Work has been conducted on the removal of
radionuclides from milk by ion exchange from
the late fifties to June 1969. This has
progressed from laboratory-scale to a full-scale
commercial process where the system was
demonstrated to be feasible using fixed-bed ion
exchange columns. For three full-scale com-
bined anion-cation runs, an average of 99.3
percent of iodine-131 and 94.6 percent of stron-
tium-85 was removed. This process resulted in
an increase in the total solids, ash, potassium.
and citrate ions. The taste of the treated milk
compared favorably with untreated milk.
although some decrease in flavor score was
noted. Good radionuclide removal was ob-
tained using the pilot plant moving-bed system.
These studies, although not extensive, snowed
89, 99, and 99.5 percent removal for strontium,
iodine, and cesium, respectively. The limited in-
vestigations of cesium removal showed this
system to have much greater potential than the
fixed-bed system. (Author)

Current reverse osmosis technology was ap-

secondary effluents to determine what opera-
tional problems may occur, and develop
methods of alleviating them. Two parallel
reverse osmosis systems, with 50 sq ft. spiral-
wound reverse osmosis modules, were
operated and results for activated sludge ef-
fluent versus activated carbon treated activated
sludge effluent were compared. Fouling
problems were encountered for which previ-
ously developed cleaning techniques were inef-
fective. An enxyme-based detergent technique
was developed which alleviated the problem
and restored performance The size of the brine
spacers affected only the pressure drop across
the modules, and not the overall performance.
Also the quantity of water handled would, over
a 3 year period, be substantially more than
could be handled by standard flux-high selec-
tivity membranes. (WRSIC abstract)

The basic purpose of the study was to deter-
mine the relative reduction in exhaust emis-
sions obtainable from a heat engine/electric
hybrid vehicle when compared to the same
vehicle powered by a heat engine alone. Emis-
sion measurements were made of the hybrid
vehicle in its original design state as well as
emission measurements of a modified and im-
proved hybrid design. The emission evaluations
were made with the vehicle in ihree design
phases. The tests for the three hybrid designs
indicated a marked reduction of exhaust emis-
sions with the delayed throttle control and in-
creased electrical power. The heated manifold
allowed leaner air/fuel mixtures to be used and
resulted in lower exhaust emissions. The best
emission reductions were approximately 60%
reduction in hydrocarbons and carbon monox-
ide and 25% reduction in nitrogen oxides when
comparing the baseline heat engine with hybrid
power trains. The comparisons hold for both
concentration and total mass-type measure-
ments with the vehicle on the California 7-Mode
Driving Cycle. (Author)

The feasibility of using laser Raman scattering
to remotely monitor the emission of NO and
SO2 from large stationary sources such as elec-
tric power plants was studied. Since no previ-
ous experimental measurement of the Raman
scattering cross-sections was known to have
been made for either NO or S02, these cross-
sections were measured in the laboratory using
a 3371 A pulsed nitrogen laser as the Raman ex-
citing source. Using N2 as a normalizing stan-
dard, the results are best fit by a NO to N2

S02 to N2 Raman cross-section ratio of 2.4 plus
or minus 0.3. In addition to the cross-section
measurements, a field study was carried out
with a laser Raman spectrometer utilizing a
3371 A pulsed nitrogen laser installed in a van
at the site of large electric power plant. Raman
spectra of N2, O2, H2O and CO2 were obtained
from the power plant stack plume at a slant
range of 625 feet without interference and
detailed field procedures have been developed
which permit quantitative profiles of the con-
centration of these molecules in the plume to
be routinely obtained. However, NO and SO2
were not observed in the field study, due
primarily to the insufficient stray light rejection
ratio of the monchrometer used in the present
system. (Author)

The removal of eutrophying nutrients from
wastewater effluent is of first rank priority in
pollution control. One of the major problems Is
the removal of low concentrations of nitrogen
from large volumes of water at an acceptable
cost. A pilot-scale, denitrifying plant was built
using two types of continuous-flow reactors, a
packed column and a suspended growth
chamber. Denitrification at three temperature
regimes and three dissolved oxygen levels was
studied as a function of the methanol:N03-N
ratio. The most efficient ratio was usually found
to be between 2:1 and 3:1. Effective denitrifica-
tion at lower temperatures and high dissolved
oxygen content required ratios equal to or
slightly greater than 3:1. (Author)

Three species of burrowing mayflies

Laboratory studies demonstrated the feasibility
of controlled destruction of chlorinated pesti-
cides such as DDT. The concept comprised (1)
means to degrade DDT to a harmless form, and
(2) methods to delay the reaction for given pest-
control action. Chemical methods for degrad-
ing DDT were screened and reduction was
selected as the most promising technique.
Destruction of DDT, without forming DDE as a
product, was demonstrated by mildly acidic
reduction with zinc powder. The principal
product is bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane, DDT with
all three aliphatic chlorines removed; a material
stated to be 'void of the neurotoxic effects of
DDT.' Catalysis of the reaction resulted in
complete destruction of DDT in 1 hr at 25C and
conversion to bis(chlorophenyl)ethane in 4-8
hrs. Catalyzed aluminum or iron reduction of
DDT produced tetrafp-chlorophen-
yl)tetrachlorobutane, reportedly lipoid insolu-
ble. Reductive degradation of dieldrin, endrin,
aldrin, chlordane. heptachlor, toxaphene, and
selected polychlorinated biphenyls was also
shown. A 90% destruction of DDT in laboratory
soil was shown in 4 days by this technique.
Degradation of DOT in water was demonstrated
also, a 421 mg/l suspension being reduced to 1
ppm after 1 hr reaction at 75C. Reaction delay
can be achieved with wax or silyl coatings
which are slowly dissolved or eroded. Coatings
were produced which stopped zinc-acid reac-
tion. (Author)

The feasibility of employing a combustion
process for restoring oil contaminated beaches
was investigated. Beach access problems and
the handling characteristics of shore materials
limited the potential application to recreational
(sand) sites. Thermodynamic arguments
required that a system design be adopted in
which the contaminated sand would undergo
combustive processing in a confined arrange-
ment. The design selected, from those
analyzed, proved to be a three-effect com-
bustor based on the rptary kiln principle. Pro-
vided that the sand to be cleaned is carefully
enough collected to furnish a reasonable ('or
-6%) oil content and is moved away from the
surf and drained to an acceptable moisture
level (~or =6%), basic processing costs would
be highly attractive. In comparison with uncon-
taminated sand, the cleaned product exhibits
only a slightly greyish hue. (Author)

A laboratory study of the variables which affect
the properties of the carbonate bonded coal
refuse has been made. The carbonate bonding
process utilizing coal refuse as a fill material
consists of mixing coal refuse with water and
lime hydrate, compacting the mixture, and
reacting it with a carbon-dioxide-rich gas to
form a coherent structure bonded by a matrix of
calcite crystals. The resulting carbonate
bonded coal refuse can be used in road build-
ing or as a coal refuse pile sealant to minimize
acid mine water pollution Four types of coal
refuse were investigated—a relatively unox-
idized and highly oxidized bituminous coal
refuse and a relatively unoxidized and highly
oxidized anthracite coal refuse. It was found
that compressive strengths of 2200 to 4400 psi
were obtained for the lour types of coal refuse
investigated using up to 12 percent lime
hydrate and 9 to 15 percent water. In general,
the compressive strength of the carbonate

bonded coal refuse increases with increasing

dioxide concentration in the carbonate bond-
ing reaction gas. The air and water permeability
of carbonate bonded coal refuse was found to
be comparable to concrete. An approximate
cost comparison between carbonate bonded
coal refuse and other construction materials
and techniques indicated that the carbonate
bonding process utilizing coal refuse is the
least cost means available for coal refuse pile
sealing and road building. (Author)

food processing wastes are much higher in pol-
lutional strength. Thus the research described
discusses the designing of larger-scale experi-
mentation treatment of food processing wastes.
Objectives of the project were as follows: To
develop information on the effectiveness of
treating strong liquid wastes with a high-rate
trickling filter: To evaluate under cannery con-
ditions the effects of controlling, by the addi-
tion of edible acids, the sanitary condition of
waters recirculated in product pumping and
fluming systems, and to determine if the total
organic waste load discharged; To determine
the effectiveness of air-flotation systems for
removing suspended solids: To evaluate the
performance of center-discharge, fine-screen
separators in removing suspended solid!.: and
To select, on the basis of results obtained, a
system or systems to be enlarged in scale.

Aerial photography taken of waste plumes from
Kraft pulp mill ocean outfalls was shown to be
an effective tool in the study of waste disposal
sites. This technique is not limited by sea condi-
tions and permits monitoring and evaluation of
outfall sites throughout the year. Photography
taken at one instant provides comprehensive
information throughout the waste field. Man-
power requirements and costs for this method
are considerably less than for conventional
boat sampling surveys. Field studies were con-
ducted on the waste plumes from Kraft pulp mill
ocean outfalls at Newport and Gardiner,
Oregon and Samoa, California. Waste concen-
trations were measured by conventional boat
sampling techniques while aerial photography
was taken of the outfall area from altitudes
ranging from 3,000 to 11,000 ft Computerized
procedures were used to compute water cur-
rents, waste concentrations, toxicity zones and
diffusion coefficients from the photography.
The maximum concentration determined over
the outfall for each field study was generally
less than that shown to have a detrimental ef-
fect on young salmon for a 14-day exposure.
Surface water current was found to be the
dominant factor in the resulting plume pattern.
During periods of low current velocities in the
receiving water, the hydraulic head created by
the effluent source was a significant factor in
the resulting plume shape. The steady state
form of the Fickian diffusion equation and
unidirectional transport velocity was not ap-
plicable to the majority of the observations.

put of fluoroscopic screens. New screens are
being exposed to x-rays, sunlight, incan-
descent lamps and fluorescent lamps. The light
output of these screens is measured monthly.
Comparative measurements are also being
made on older screens. These measurements
indicate that the new phosphors and
technological advances over a 40-year period
have enabled a decrease in patient exposure by
a factor of eight to ten. Based on the study
results, it is recommended that all fluoroscopic
screens made before 1947 should be replaced
with screens incorporating the new phosphors

The use of LiF thermoluminescent dosimetry
(TLD) material as a dosimeter for microwave
radiation was evaluated. Teflon discs im-
pregnated with LiF were subjected to saturation
exposures (approximately 100,000 R) of gamma
radiation, and these irradiated dosimeters were
exposed to microwave radiation at 2450 MHz.
Analysis of the relative light output data for the
treatment groups indicated that there were no
significant differences between groups. Hence,
it was concluded that LiF, as used in the study,
will not serve as a useful dosimeter for
microwave radiation in the 2450-MHz frequency
band. (Author)

A treatment technique has been demonstrated
on a laboratory scale which inhibits or prevents
the generation of acid mine water from waste
coal refuse. Three variations of the general
method were considered: Neutralization of the
water-accessible refuse with a dilute solution of
sodium silicate (waterglass): development of a
continuous gel on the refuse surface structure
which sealed off the entire pile from natural ru-
noff waters: development within the pile struc-
ture of a continuous silica/aluminia gel to
eliminate percolation through the refuse and
minimize the effect of natural erosion of the gel
structure. Comparison of the effluent water
with an untreated pile shows that the neutral-
ized pile was effective for a minimum of 120 in.
of equivalent rainfall in inhibiting AMD genera-
tion. The surface gel was effective for a longer
period of time. The most effective treatment
utilized a mixed alumina/silica gel formed
within the pile at depths up to 6 in. This method
was effective for more than 500 in. of equivalent
rainfall, the duration of the test, and appeared
to be exceptionally stable at that time The
weathering resistance of the treatment
methods was evaluated by heating the gel
treated refuse in the laboratory and exposing it
to rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles outdoors

A study was conducted to provide an estimate
of the cost to the nation's economy resulting
from the corrosion damage to metals by expo-
sure to polluted air. More specifically the major
objectives may be stated as follows: Assess the
total economic loss to the nation in dollars
resulting from the increased corrosion damage
of externally exposed structures or systems
caused by the presence of man-made pollu-
tants in the atmosphere; and Establish from
predicted changes in population, industrial ac-
tivity, technology of pollution control, corrosion
prevention, external structures, and air pollu-
tion regulation on the probable size of this
economic loss in 1980. (APCO abstract)

Multiple regression analysis, with lags, was per-
formed on daily mortality on air pollution and
weather variables for three United States cities
(New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles). Rela-
tionships between mortality and air pollution
weather were found for all three cities. These
relationships were consistent within cities, by
season. They were also consistent between ci-
ties, allowing for generalization about the rela-
tionship: daily mortality is associated with air
pollution and weather in urban areas of the U.
S. This association can be stated as a formal
relationship in time. The effect of pollution and
weather on mortality is essentially an im-
mediate one. (Author)

This study is a further attempt to find a relation-
ship between daily mortality, air pollution, and
weather. New methods were devised for this
purpose. The study was comparative. Three
U.S. Cities were studied at the same time using
the same methods and similar data from each.
Due to the insufficient models previously used
to study the relationship between mortality and
air pollution and weather, a new model was
conceptualized. This model, the stimulus-
response model, serves as the frame work for
extensive analysis of the relationship. The anal-
ysis was performed on data from New York City.

cluded total daily mortality, 65 plus mortality,

It has been shown by experiment that acidic
surface oxides on active carbon can profoundly
influence the sorption of various pollutant-type
molecules from aqueous solution Not only is
the equilibrium sorption capacity of the carbon
affected but the rate of sorption is also
changed. However, these changes are reversi-
ble, for removal of the acidic surface oxides can
restore the carbon to its original sorption
capacity or beyond. In the cases of sorption of
phenol, nitrobenzene, sodium benzenesul-
fonate and dextrose, surface oxides reduced
the sorption capacity of the carbon as well as
the speed of sorption. In the case of urea sorp-
tion the sorption capacity of the carbon was in-
creased by the presence of acidic surface ox-
ides. It appears that the influence of these sur-
face oxides depends on the relative strength of
their interactions with both the water solvent
and the solute to be adsorbed. (Author)

The investigation sought to determine by
means of radioactive tracer techniques, the
biochemical mechanisms in the anaerobic
degradation of typical organics found in
wastes. Two liter laboratory scale digesters
were used in all the radioactive tracer work.
Substrate and nutrients were slug fed daily
while carbon-14 compounds were slug fed one
time or daily depending on the type of study
being performed. Chemical analyses of the
liquid feed and effluent were routinely per-
formed along with identification of gaseous end
products. Radioactivity analyses on the gases
produced were conducted using liquid scintil-
lation techniques. The degradation of
propionic. succinic and lactic acids appear to
be closely related with common intermediates.
Propionic acids can be degraded through lactic
or succinic acids and the reverse is true for
each of the other two compounds. Propionic
acid may also be metabolized by alpha or beta-
oxidation giving rise to an intact methyl group
in the methane formed, from either the number
two or three carbon. A pathway for glutamic
acid utilization was postulated involving the
formation of two moles of acetic acid for each
mole of substrate used. Oleic acid was primarily
degraded by beta-oxidation. In the fermenta-
tion of benzole acid, three moles of acetic acid
were produced per mole degraded. (Author)

This is a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for a sewerage project involving a construction
grant application that has been submitted by
the North Shore Sanitary District (NSSD). When
completed, the project will provide 48 million
gallons per day (MGD) of sewage treatment
capacity to serve the eastern portion of Lake
County. Illinois. After weighing all the alterna-
tives, this Statement reflects the view that the
over-all project is sound, but that desirable
modifications would include a smaller installa-
tion at Clavey Road (to offset the proximity of
the plant to residential neighborhoods). The in-
corporation of some advanced waste treatment
processes, a covered retention basin of
reduced size, and a supplemental plant to be
developed at a Des Plaines River location.
Other adverse impacts will result from likely
discharge of stormwater overflows to Lake
Michigan in the northern portion of the project.
It is recommended that these discharges be
eliminated.

The overall project calls for the construction of
a new treatment facility at Gurnee and the ex-
pansion and renovation of present plants at
North Chicago. Waukegan and Clavey Road.
The central impact of the project proposed by
the District will result from full expansion of the
Clavey Road treatment plant to 18 MGD and ad-
verse effects are anticipated from the on site
open retention basin that will be used to hold
excess collection sewer flows in large open
chambers during periods of wet weather,
although other adverse impacts are identified.
The residents in and around the area of the
Clavey Road facility object strenuously to the
retention basin and plant expansion claiming
that a probability for transmission of harmful
viruses and pathogenic bacteria exists as well
as the continual excape of unpleasant odors. In
total, the full expansion of the site would en-
compass 45 acres. The physical size of the plant
will not esthetically enhance the existing re-
sidential charaacter of the neighborhood.

consisted of two phases, as follows: Phase 1 -
compilation of statistical data relating to the
recent history of the crude oil and residual fuel
oil situation throughout the world with particu-
lar emphasis on the United States. Phase 2 -
Estimation ot the present and future production
capability of existing refineries, which are en-

The three major configurations of reverse os-
mosis units include spiral wound units, tabular
units, and plate and frame units. Tests were
conducted on prototype units employing all
three configurations, and the membranes were
found capable of rejecting 93 to 95% of TDS, 90
to 99% of phosphates, 80 to 90% of ammonia
nitrogen, 60 to 70% of nitrate nitrogen, 99 to
100% of particulate matter, 90 to 95% of TOC
and greater than 90% of COD. Many of the
problems discovered stemmed from the use of
prototype units which had not been thoroughly
tested and were subjected to repeated
mechanical failures. Fouling problems have
been partially alleviated by periodically depres-
surizing the membranes and washing them with
enzyme detergents. The success of this method
is attributed to protein hydrolysis of the slime
layer which coats the membrane. Increasing
population has dictated the recycling of a much
larger portion of the nation's water. Each time it
is re-used, the water picks up greater amounts
of dissolved solids. These solids will eventually
have to be removed to preserve the potability of
drinking water. Also, increasing advances in
membrane materials have steadily decreased
the cost of reverse osmosis to the point that a
reverse osmosis system coupled with primary
and sand filtration only has an estimated cost of
35.4 cents/1000 gallons. (WRSIC abstract)

The basic objective of the studies was to find a
technically feasible and economical procedure
for treating the wastes from a sole weather
vegetable tannery, A detailed identification of
the sources of all wastes as well as a com-
prehensive characterization of each waste frac-
tion was made. It was found that a large per-
centage of the pollutants initially were con-
tained in a relatively small fraction of the total
waste volume. The treatment scheme consisted
of separation and pretreatment of the individual
waste streams followed by mixing all waste
streams for additional treatment in an anaero-
bic-aerobic lagoon system. The lime bearing
wastes from the beamhouse were screened,
treated with polyelectrolytes, and then clarified.
The lime sludge was used for landfill. The
system was designed to treat one million gal-
lons of waste per week. BOD was reduced 85-95
percent and the suspended solids reduction
was in excess of 95 percent. Installed cost of
the total system was approximately $40,000 and
it is estimated that the operating cost will be
about $15,000 per year or 7 cents per hide
processed. (Author)

Fiber glass production involves the use of an
expensive phenolic resin. A 28 month study was
conducted to determine the feasibility of
reclaiming waters which had been used for
washing resins off of conveyor lines to prevent
fouling. The system developed reduces water
consumption by utilizing an 8 gpm, 1000 psi
spray cleaner. After the conveyors are washed,
the water flows through two stages of screen-
ing, or primary filtration, and a secondary
diatomite filtration unit. Since most of the
solids are large, the diatomite filters accom-
plish the removal of only .6% of the total solids
load, with the major removals taking place at
the pre-screening equipment. The water re-use
system will use the same water 4.5 times before
it is completely evaporated, requiring 1 Ib of
diatomite/500 gallons of water filtered. The
system provides water at a net cost of $.37/1000
gallons as compared to $.75/1000 gallons for
city water. Substantial operational savings have
been realized through conservation of the ex-
pensive phenolic binder. Waste phenolic
discharges have dropped 80%. suspended
solids have decreased 85%, and dissolved
solids have decreased by 50%. In this instance,
therefore, waste discharge control has both
protected the environment and profited the in-
dustry. (WRS abstract)

Less than 8% of the total sanitary sewage flow
collected in the Milk River combined sewer has
been by-passed during periods of storm over-
flow during the past 8 years. Total overflow
volumes did not exceed 5.5 million cubic ft.
90% of the time. Initial BOD over 18 samples
ranged from 23 mg/l to 376 mg/l with an
average of 110 mg/l, while suspended solids
averaged 249 mg/l. On final samples taken dur-
ing the same period, BOD values averaged 42
mg/l and SS values averaged 67 m/gl. Chlorine
demand for 56 influent samples averaged 7.7
mg/l. The receiving waters for these overflows
were characterized by visual observation as
being highly polluted. Cationic polymeric floc-
culants and flocculent aids were tested on com-
bined overflows from the sewer system. It was
found that the existing Milk River pumping sta-
tion and retention basin were suitable for
modification, namely the addition of weirs and
variable rate pumping, to acheive an average
SS removal of 63%. The installation of disinfec-
tion equipment was estimated to cost $20,625
with $7,700 annually for chemical costs. This
equipment would produce a coliform density of
1000/100 ml at an average cost of approximate-
ly $.012/1000 gallons. (WRSIC abstract)

wastes of strengths from 200 to 2000 mg/l
BODS was conducted 90% BODS and 80% TOC
reductions were achieved, but little or no
reduction was detected in nitrates and
phosphates and the effluent was colored and
turbid. Periods of little or no loading for as long
as 48 hours caused no decrease in treatment ef-
ficiency when flow was resumed. From the
above information, KASP was recognized as
being well suited to industrial waste pre-treat-
ment prior to discharge to a municipal treat-
ment plant. The ability to handle intermittent
flows provide 90% BODS removal, and provide
aerobic digestion of solids in the aeration tank
is essential for pre-treatment devices and all are
possessed by KASP. Exclusive of primarytreat-
ment, treatment of 10 mgd of a 250 mg/l BODS
waste would cost 7 cents/1000 gallons using
gravity settling. (Author)

Biological uptake, chemical precipitation of
soluble phosphorus, and settling or filtration of
paniculate phosphorus are the major removal
mechanisms used in phosphorus removal. At
present, chemical precipitation is the most
universally applied method. The wide variety of
chemical reactions which lead to phosphorus
precipitation allows much flexibility of opera-
tion to plant operators. In dealing with raw
sewage, primary effluent, or secondary effluent
the size of the plant, influent waste water
characteristics phosphorus discharge stan-
dard, and the types of other processes used in
the treatment train must all be considered. In
addition to phosphorus removal, higher levels
of BOD and suspended solids removals are
customarily are customarily obtained when
some type of phosphate reduction mechanism
is employed. Each of the mechanisms
described here have been analyzed both with
respect to technological and economic feasi-
bility. Costs ranged from 13 cents/1000 gallons
for two-stage lime treatment of 1 mgd to
achieve 97% removal, to a potential low of
$.015/1000 gallons using waste pickle liquor to
achieve a reduction of 80%. (WRSIC - abstract)

This study considered the receiving stream as
an integral part of the bio-oxidation pond
method of treatment with the objective being to
provide a better understanding of the bio-ox-
idation pond - receiving stream system As
representative of this 'real world1 situation with
all of its variables, five existing central
Oklahoma bio-oxidation ponds which had
diverse loadings and designs were utilized. By
observing these systems under varying climatic
conditions, the effects of the bio-oxidation
pond nutrients along with other pollutional
parameters which were discharged into inter-
mittent receiving streams were evaluated. Ex-
cept for scouring, bio-oxidation ponds and bio-
oxidation pond - receiving streams were found
to behave essentially the same as the streams
became a continuation of the pond. In addition
to making biochemical adjustments, the
streams lost much of their biological identity
and assumed characteristics more closely as-
sociated with the biological loadings from the
pond effluent. The most persistent algae in the
systems were the flagellates (Euglenophyta)
and the blue-green algae (Cyanophyta) as these
plankters had little difficulty making the transi-
tion from their acclimated life in the pond to the
stream. (WRSIC abstract))

Stable, high-flux membranes for wastewater
renovation by reverse osmosis were required to
meet or exceed: fluxes greater than 60 gal/sq
ft/day with no more than a 20% Increase after
one year; Rejection of 60% of sodium chloride;
and Rejection of 90% of sodium sulfate. All test-
ing was performed at 600 psi, with 1000 ppm
feed solutions. These specifications were met
by three cellulose based membranes. Flux
losses over short periods were extrapolated to
yearly values and ranged from 12-18%. How-
ever, periodic cleaning with a laundry enzyme
pre-soak was necessary as the flux rates ini-
tially declined very rapidly. Cleaning restored
the membranes to 80 to 90% of the initial
values. Daily cleaning maintained a five day se-
ries of tests at nearly constant levels. The best
of the three membranes tested rejected 90 to
97% of TDS, 70 to 100% Of COD, 86 to 96% of
ammonium ion, 72 to 99% of nitrate ion. and 97
to 99% of total phosphate. Techniques were ex-
plored for attachment of proteolytic enzymes to
cellulose acetate membranes to render them
resistant to colloid fouling. The proteolytic en-
zyme trypsin was chemically attached to the ac-
tive layer surface of a membrane prepared from
the N-hydroxysuccinimide oster of cellulose
acetate hydrogen succinate. The resulting en-
zymatic membrane displayed hydrolytic activi-
ty. No cost estimates were presented for this
type of treatment process. (WRSIC abstract)

High levels of phosphorus removal have been
observed at the Baltimore Sewage Plant in the
past. A six month study of the operating condi-
tions and design parameters of tow parallel, 10
MGD activated sludge systems was conducted
in an attempt to establish the mechanism by
which the phosphate was removed. The follow-
ing variables were used: suspended solids con-
centration, waste water flow, aeration basin
mixing configuration, and dissolved oxygen
levels. Both mixing and dissolved oxygen were
shown to influence the process greatly. Contact
stabilization or step aeration, as opposed to
plug flow, caused sharp decreases in the
removals, while low dissolved oxygen levels
stimulated releases of phosphorus from the
sludge. Operating conditions which enhance
phosphate removal are standard conditions
now at the Baltimore plant. Phosphate removal
at Baltimore average 62%, compared with 15 to
20% removals for conventional activated
sludge, and 9% in Baltimore's trickling filter. No
cost analysis was undertaken, wince complete
removal of the phosphorus involves removal
from the sludge supernatant. Some of the
parameters which may lead to enhanced
phosphate removals have been demonstrated.
However, the exact reaction or mechanism by
which the removals proceed is still unknown,
even though it was established that the calcium
removed from the system was not principally by
precipitation. (WRSIC abstract)

A system of outdoor experimental ponds for the
study of aquatic life under the effect of various
controlled water temperatures has been
designed. The ponds were to be located near
power plants in Minnesota. The purpose of the
study is to determine the feasiblity of maintain-
ing certain specified temperature regimes in
the proposed ponds. This was done by con-
sidering the available heating and cooling
capacity and the environmental conditions
prevailing at the selected site and making
design calculations for the major elements of
the system Firstly, the limits of feasible tem-
perature control were determined. Secondly,
heating and cooling systems were devised and
thirdly, a method of control was developed. For
cooling, use of the well water is proposed, and,
for heating, the water released from the thermal
power station is going to be used. External and
internal heat exchange systems were examined
and both were found to be feasible and
adequate. The study has the character of a
feasibility study. (WRSIC abstract)

The problem of determining the height of the
base, the intensity and the thickness of an
elevated inversion layer from radiometric ther-
masonde data Is discussed. Three advanced
radiometric data analysis techniques emphasiz-
ing the detection and measurement of these
salient features of elevated inversions are
proposed. The techniques include: (1) a statisti-
cal procedure for finding the best three-
straight-line representation of the true profile
from the radiometric data—called the gradient
altitude model, (2) a relaxation procedure for
finding the ambient temperature at sixteen
preselected heights from the surface to 2.54
km, and (3) several analog and empirical
techniques for detecting the presence and
determining the base heights and other fea-
tures of an elevated inversion directly from the
recorder outputs of thermasonde data. The ini-
tial development and evaluation of these
techniques using simulated and real data are
presented. The results show that the problem of
determining the features of an elevated inver-
sion becomes more difficult as the height of its
base increases, its intensity decreases, and its
thickness decreases. The relaxation technique
appears to be capable of providing accurate
descriptions of the temperature profile in the
case of elevated inversions of up to 5. (Author)

A final report is presented on studies con-
ducted to develop washability data on coal
mined primarily for use in power generation
The studies attempted to extend the washability
data to finer sizes of coal and to evaluate coal
cleaning methods and techniques for removing
pyritic sulfur from the fine-sized coal. The in-
vestigation was made into the pyrite liberation
and removal characteristics of U.S. coals when
pulverized to two fine grinds of interest; the 30
mesh x 0 size, and each coal's as fired, or pul-
verized coal grind. Detailed work was un-
dertaken to determine the potential of fine
cleaning for preparing a concentrated grade of
pyrite, as removed from the fine coal, in quanti-
ties commensurate with the total amount
available for removal. In line with the total seam
utilization concept, where only the obvious
refuse would be discarded, the use of the inter-
mediate fractions lying between the clean coal
and the high grade pyrite was studied.

The colloid charge titration technique
described by Kawamura and Tanaka, was used
to measure the charge on color-aluminum,
color-thorium, and color-lanthanum disper-
sions. This method was able to measure the
charge on colloids which were too small to be
seen, thus replacing the Briggs microelec-
trophoresis cell technique. Tests were con-
ducted using a Lumetron Model 402E filter
photometer to obtain data points of pH vs %

computer program was designed to perform a
least squares analysis on all the data points to
determine the shape of the curve, and the
curves were then plotted on a plotter. The pro-
gram which was developed will analyze as
many as 15 sets of data. Analyses made on data
taken from actual colored influent will provide
operators with plots which show the optimum

Suspensions containing closely sized beads of
varying diameters, made from two types of
glass, were allowed to flow through 2.1 and 1/2
inch pipelines. Available slurry flow data in 1/2
inch pipe using glass, steel, and lead particles
were combined with these data, resulting in a
particle size range of from 31 microns up to
4380 microns. There were 12 particle sizes, and
particle densities of 2.3, 30, 4.4, 7.5 and 11.3
gm/cc, with the entire data set consisting of
1511 points. From these data points, a slurry
flow correlation was developed which predicts
the slurry friction factor within an absolute
average deviation of 9.5% for the entire data
collection, with 74 data points having a devia-
tion exceeding 30% and 9 data points with a
deviation greater than 50%. Utilization of the
correlation involved recasting of the drag coef-
ficient - Reynold's Number relationship into an
empirical expression valid for numbers well
within the Stokes flow region, and up to nearly
the so-called drag crisis. While most of the data
presented were taken in the laboratory,
published data from two sources (selected after
stringent scrutiny) were used to supplement
certain ranges of the Reynold's number.

The kinetics of biological slime films were in-
vestigated using six completely mixed, annular
reactors. Design criteria for trickling filters were
formerly based on experience and guesswork,
so this investigation attempted to determine the
kinetics of a simple system to provide a better
basis for establishing trickling filter design
criteria. A simple glucose and mineral base
substrate was fed to microorganisms attached
to the walls of the 6 annular, completely mixed
reactors. The reactors were operated first in
parallel, for a basic investigation of biological
film kinetics, and second, in series, to approxi-
mate plug flow Completely mixed reactors
eliminated channeling, dissolved oxygen and
substrate gradients, and the interdependence
of velocity and flow. Film development was
uniform, and liquid channeling did not occur.
This investigation revealed that biological films
develop in three distinct stages: (1) logarithmic
growth which lasted until the active thickness
was reached; (2) linear growth, between the ac-
tive thickness and the plateau thickness and (3)
zero growth, as all new cells are washed away.
The active film thickness averaged 70 and was
independent of D.O. Kinetic equations were
developed which showed good correlation
between theoretical and observed data. On this
basis, a trickling filter design equation, based
on the kinetics of the process, was developed.

The report pertains to at-source control of
pyrite oxidation. The current level of knowledge
of acid mine drainage formation is critically
reviewed, with emphasis on reaction kinetics
and reactant and product transport. A reaction
system model is developed which provides a
conceptual framework for subsequent discus-
sion dealing specifically with the physical,
chemical, and biological characteristics of
pyritic systems encountered in mining situa-
tions. Practical considerations of at-source
control of acid mine drainage formation in un-
derground mines, spoil banks, and refuse piles
are presented. Deficiencies in current
knowledge include: Descriptions of the physi-
cal environment existing at pyrite oxidation
sites in natural systems are far more incomplete
that the current understanding of pyrite oxida-
tion kinetics; Oxygen transport is poorly
described at this time, but is probably the rate-
controlling factor in most instances: Serious
questions exist as to the effectiveness of air-
sealing techniques as currently practiced; The
significance of bacterial catalysis of pyrite ox-
idation under field conditions has not been
established. (Author)

process, SO2 is directly reduced to elemental
sulfur by hydrogen sulfide which is in turn
generated by reducing part of the elemental
sulfur with natural gas. The objectives of the
study made on this process are as follows: to
demonstrate the feasibility of each process
step; to construct and operate an integrated

equipment. The tests took place during 30 knot
winds, and 8 ft waves. The oil recovery equip-
ment tested included mechanical barriers, air
barriers, and skimming equipment. A detailed
report containing both the test results on the
capacilities and limitations of the various
equipment types tested, and also recommenda-
tions on needed improvements was prepared. It
was strongly recommended that adequate
skimming capacity could be installed and main-
tained in close proximity to all major industries
which would be considered potential oil spill
hazards. Recommendations were also prepared
concerning the methods of enlisting communi-
ty aid, both in helping to support the installation
of oil spill recovery equipment, and also in
working to clean up such spills as do occur.

in the flotation of both lead and copper sulfide
ores without the use of poisonous cyanide
salts. More specifically, the use of sodium
sulfite as the depressant may result in metallur-
gical, economical, environmental and safety
advantages over the poison, cyanide. For exam-
ple, in the case of the copper ore, the best
results with cyanide as the depressant were a
rougher concentrate recovery of 90.2% and a

called the AUTOSPECT. SRIC has been able to
simultaneously analyze engine exhaust for 9
different oxygenates. Although the AU-
TOSPECT can be calibrated to determine al-
most any desired oxygenate, the current instru-
ment is set to determine the 9 most prevalent al-
dehydes believed to be present in exhaust gas.
Work on the AUTOSPECT is aimed at procedu-
ral improvements and reductions to a practical
portable oxygenate analyzer. In addition to un-
burned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and
oxides of nitrogen, the exhaust of automotive
vehicles contains small amounts of partially
combusted materials known as oxygenates.
The most prevalent class of oxygenate com-
ponents are known as aldehydes. Aldehydes
are odoriferous, in some cases irritating to the
eyes, and potential sources of photochemical
reactions conducive to the formation of smog.

The feasibility of using a complete mix ac-
tivated sludge unit for secondary treatment of
potato processing wastes was demonstrated.
During the 1969-1970 processing season, both
the activated sludge process and a flow
through aeration process without secondary
clarification were studied. The activated sludge
unit was demonstrated to be capable of BOD
removals, in excess of 90% over extended
periods, with coliform removals in excess of
96%. With the flow through system, BOD
removals ranged between 70 and 80%. Analysis
of data obtained revealed that both the quantity
of excess sludge produced and the amount of
oxygen required were functions of the BOD
removal rate and the mixed liquor volatile
suspended solids concentration. The substrate
removal rate coefficient was shown to be tem-
perature dependent. The prevailing low air tem-
peratures at the Shelley location did not cause
system failure, but data obtained demonstrated
the need to consider temperature loss in system
design. Total annual treatment costs, excluding
costs for waste activated sludge disposal, were
estimated to be $.038 per Ib BOD applied, and
$0.21 per Ib COD applied. Operation of
thickener-clarifier on combinations of silt and
biological solids was not successful. Failures
with this unit demonstrated a need for the
development of special silt removal and han-
dling equipment for potato processing. (WRSIC

Waste waters from a Fortrel Polyester manufac-
turing plant consisted of organic chemical
process wastes, cooling system blowdown, and
sanitary wastes from the plant. A water reuse
program was instituted which consisted of: (1)
pretreatment of cooling waters for removal of
heavy metals; (2) in-plant modifications and ad-
ditions to the existing system to increase treat-
ment plant capacity, and (3) a post treatment
system for effluent polishing prior to selected
reuse. The final system consisted of: (1) a chro-
mate reduction unit rated at 120 gpm for con-
centrations of up to 300 mg/l CrO4 and
designed for continuous operation; (2)
equalization basins having a combined capaci-
ty of 195.000 gallons and containing sufficient
mixing capacity to prevent short-circuiting and
stratification; (3) a plastic media roughing filter
consisting of two tiers of poly-vinyl chloride
media 10 feet thick and 25 ft in diameter; (4) an
aeration basin equipped with 175 hp of aeration
and mixing capacity and using 100% recycle of
clarifier sludge; (5) a peripheral flow type clari-
fier; (6) two series connecting polishing ponds;
(7) a micro screen or algae screen; (8) a floccu-
lant and/or carbon unil; (9) a sludge pond; and
(10) a digester. Chromium was removed from
the cooling tower blowdown for $.21 per pound
of chromate removed. The plastic media trick-
ling filter, used as a roughing filter, provided
40% BOD removal over a wide range of loading
rates. The 0.33 mgd industrial and domestic
waste water was treated and reused at a rate of
0.10 mgd for approximately 40 cents/1000 gal-
lons. (WRSIC abstract)

Problems were studied of infiltration of ground
and surface waters into sanitary sewers and in-
flows from various connections to these
sewers. Such water enters sewers through
joints, cracks, breaks or indirectly through per-
forated or loose manhole covers or other faulty
sewer structures. Inflow water is piped into the
sewer from basement and foundation drains,

tions of storm sewers and combined sewers.
Two hundred and twelve public jurisdictions in
the United States and Canada were contacted,
and twenty-six communities were visited. Prac-
tices of consulting engineers and state and
provincial water pollution control agencies
were also surveyed. Twenty recommendations
are given indicating the need for extensive in-

The document reports on a 10 acre basin to col-
lect and detain combined sewer overflows that
bypass a pumping station during periods of
high volume flow. Surface runoff accompany-
ing rainstorms cause high volume flows which
are diverted into the station channel. Such
flows introduced highly toxic pollution loads
into an Illinois creek and a fork of the San-
gamon River. The retention basin was built to
intercept these flows so that they could be
stored temporarily and released at low flow
rates to avoid shock pollution. In addition to the
oxygen demand, production of algae may be
objectionable at some installations for
aesthetic reasons. Sludge accumulation must
be taken into account in design of similar facili-
ties. Suggestions for future designs of retention
basins are included. (WRSIC abstract)

A state wide survey was made in California to
determine the areas of occurrence of plant inju-
ry due to air pollutants, and to assess the
damage to agricultural plant crops. On the
basis of observations and evaluations made by
agricultural specialists California's 1970 crop
losses due to air pollutants were estimated to
be approximately $25,690, 680, The losses were
confined to 15 of the 58 counties in the state.
The monetary loss figure does not include
losses attributed to reduction in crop yield as a
result of invisible damage with the exception of

An investigation of the economic impact of vari-
ous gasoline removal schedules is reported.
These schedules varied in rapidity of lead
removal and in the number of gasoline grades
produced. Eleven proposal schedules were
grouped into two classes, one related to a two-
pump market system, the other to a three-pump
system. In all cases one grade of gasoline was
required to be lead free by 1974 to satisfy the
needs of any 1975 model cars equipped with
exhaust reactors requiring unleaded fuel. The
basic research octane level of this gasoline was
set at 93 RON. A feasibility analysis, which was
required for all eleven schedules, examined ap-
proximate capital costs, pool octane numbers.
aronmatics concentrations, prime blending
component requirements, and year-to-year
rates of increase in gasoline volume times oc-
tane. A preliminary selection was made of the
slowest and fastest lead removal schedules for
3-grade cases and for 2-grade cases. Spot year
detailed analysis of all schedules was also
determined. The report includes a detailed
summary of conclusions, and a detailed
description of the methodology used. (Author)

A 2-phase research effort is summarized. The
first phase is concerned with measurement of
the economic changes consequent to the in-
troduction of various air pollution control poli-
cies. Areas of specific concern in this phase are
as follows: the pollution production function;
measurement of the costs of regulating open
field burning in the Willamette Valley; the im-
pact of air quality variations on tourist related
industries. The second phase deals with social
effects. A theoretical model concerning the ef-
fects of air quality changes on peoples attitudes
and mass media use patterns has been formu-
lated as a means of measurement of change
Each of the following objectives which relate to
this model, are discussed: completion of inter-
views and evaluation of response rates:
completion of coding, key punching and verifi-
cation: completion of visibility measures, analy-
sis of air quality perceptions of respondents:
analysis planned for the forthcoming year.

Inhibitory effects of copper toward marine
microorganisms were studied Phosphate was
found to prevent copper inhibition. Growth and
phosphate flux kinetics were described. These
phosphate limited systems were found to be
copper sensitive only under conditions of man-
ganese deficiency. Toxicity occurred in this
normally rather resistant yeast and in hydrocar-
bon oxidizing microorganisms at about .000001
M. Arsenate was among a number of metabolic
inhibitors found to inhibit phosphate transport:
phosphate also competitively reduced arsenate
uptake. Both arsenate and phosphate are accu-
mulated by the same active transport system in
which velocities increase as the hydrogen ion is
increased, saturation of the system does not
occur, and the transport temperature coeffi-
cient is very large. Both arsenate and copper
are important at existing concentrations in the
environment. When nutrients are dilute these
antimetabolites prevent microbial metabolism
thus affecting the steady state chemistry which
they control. Toxicity levels of antimetabolites
depend not only on populations and chelate
concentrations but in a major way on free
nutrients and trace metal levels. (Author)

Tests of surface instream aerators and of bot-
tom diffuser aerators were conducted on the
Delaware River near Philadelphia in order to
determine the practicability of induced ox-
ygenation of deep navigable rivers. The diffuser
was tested at various depths up to 38 feet, but
its performance in pounds of oxygen per hor-
sepower hour decreased markedly in the
deeper water. Performance of the surface aera-
tor appeared to be somewhat improved over
results previously found in a shallower river.
Cost estimates and systems analysis led to the
conclusion that induced Oxygenation by aera-
tors appears to constitute an economical alter-
native to advanced waste treatment on the
Delaware River This would require structurally
reinforced surface aerators in some areas, and
bottom diffuser aerators where the surface
aerators would interfere with navigation. How-
ever, oxygen diffusers developed by others may
provide an even more economical means of in-
duced Oxygenation for such rivers. (Author)

A feasibility study to determine the practicality
of joint treatment of municipal and industrial
wastewater was initiated in Onondaga County,
New York. The 24 industries included in both
the Ley Creek and the Metropolitan Sanitary
districts were contacted as to their production
of wastewaters and their effluents samples as
needed. Bench scale studies were then used to
determine the feasibility of the various activated
sludge systems. A sampling and analysis pro-
gram was conducted to determine the charac-
teristics of the wastewater influents to both
plants, with the results indicating that although
toxicity was a potential problem it was causing
no problems at present. Therefore, the primary
pollutant to be removed as organic material.
Total organic loads at both the Ley Creek and
the Municipal Plant were equal, but flow to the
Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant was nearly
three times as great as the flow to Ley Creek.
The Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant was
chosen as the outfall because of greater dilu-
tion capacity of Onondaga Lake. Activated
sludge treatment of the primary effluent of both
plants was shown to be feasible, with the Ley
Creek Sewage treatment plant destined for
eventual phasing-out. Cost estimates for dif-
ferent system configurations (conventional ac-
tivated sludge, contact stablization, etc.)
ranged from $23,000-530,000 for capital cost
and $3,700-$4,400/year for operation and main-
tenance. (WRSIC abstract).

Three operational modes for removing glycerin
from waste streams by reverse osmosis were
examined. The three modes were: (1) a single-
stage reverse osmosis unit which was demon-
strated to be capable of removing 27% of the
available glycerin, 92% of the inorganics, and
94% of the polygtycerines available in the feed;
(2) a three-battey multi-stage unit with forward
feed of the raffinate to subsequent reverse os-
mosis recovery batteries which provided a
product stream containing 31% of the available
glycerin, no inorganics, and 3.9% of the availa-
ble polyglycerines; and (3) an alternate two bat-
tery multi-stage counter-current recovery unit
which provided a waste stream containing 31%
of the available glycerin, no inorganics, and
5.2% of the available polyglycerines. Mem-
branes used were asymmetric cellulose acetate
but/rate and cellulose acetate. Experimental
pilot scale studies performed with tubular
membrane models readily accommodated the
sample plant stream being used. Optimum
selectivity and good separation was achieved
under operating pressures ranging from 600 to
800 psig. Product throughput rate appeared to
be the limiting factor, being highly sensitive to
both increased turbulence and reduced feed
viscosities. A cost analysis of a typical multi-
stage forward feed operation operated at 600
psig was estimated. Payout for the operation
was 3.8 years at a 26% rate of return, making it
an extremely favorable investment. (WRSIC ab-

storing of the waste until it could be disposed of
on shore, perhaps after treatment. One of the
main problems in development of such a
disposal system in small crafts is the probable
lack of space for installation of a holding tank.
A means of overcoming this obstacle has been
sought through the use of a flexible holding
tank which could allow for installation in hid-
den and almost inaccessible places with a
minimum of structural changes. The design
criteria calls for an accordion-pleated tank to
be made of elastomer coated nylon fabric with
ten 60 degree v-shaped pleats with a cross sec-
tion of 14 inch by 24 inch and holding about 18
gallons of fluid. This tank could collapse to fit a
much more restrictive space and can actually
expand to 21 inches to provide a capacity of
nearly 25 gallons. The results showed that a
tank of the specified materials provides an ac-
ceptable and versatile holding tank for upgrad-
ing a sanitary system on small pleasurecraft,
particularly in the 22 to 28 foot length.

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage Com-
mission installed a rotating biological contactor
(RBC) to treat municipal sewage. The RBC ob-
tained in excess of 90% BOD removal at loading
rates of 350 to 400 Ibs COD per day per 1000 cu.
ft. of disc volume. Nitrogen was shown to be
removed in a ratio of 1:25, nitrogen to COD.
Percent BOD removal was consistently 5%
greater than percent COD removal. Treatment
efficiency was increased with increased deten-
tion time, and decreased by: (1) lower disc
speed; (2) lower strength wastes; and (3) high
hydraulic loading. Recovery from periods of
high hydraulic loading was extremely quick.
Further planned investigations included isola-
tion and identification of individual species of
microorganisms and comparison with the
microorganisms of activated sludge and trick-
ling filters. (WRSIC abstract)

planned to produce steam as well as electrical
power have been successful in special situa-
tions. In nearly all cases additional information
is needed on the overall economics of
proposed methods. This is especially true
where high quality heat is taken directly from
the power plant steam cycle for another use.
Only with a complete economic analysis, in-

whether a 'beneficial use' is truly beneficial in

Six urban drainage basins in Atlanta, Georgia,
served by combined and separate sewers, were
studied to determine the major pollution
sources during storm events. Rainfall frequen-
cy analysis and simulation techniques were util-
ized to obtain design criteria for alternative pol-
lution abatement schemes. High frequency
storms cause the worst impact and most of the
pollution from combined sewer areas. Annual
BOD from these areas is 2,078,000 pounds, or
460 Ibs/acre, of which 57 percent is due to
storms of two--week or higher frequency.
Bypassing of wastewater treatment plant flows
during storms adds 690.000 pounds BOD/year.
Runoff from storm—sewered areas, at 253
Ibs/acre, adds 5,577,000 pounds/year. Over-
flows and bypassed flows have severe impact
upon the South River, due to their high deox-
ygenation rates and coliform concentrations.
Annual BOD reduction from combined sewer
areas of 57 percent may be achieved for a total
annual cost of $165.000. by modifying the three
regulators and treating 80 percent of the over-
flows, in conjunction with storage sufficient to
contain a two—week storm. (Author)

The study describes both theoretically and ex-
perimentally the flow into a line sink in a linearly
density stratified reservoir. The geometry of the
boundaries is simplified to a parallel walled
duct with the line sink at the center of the fluid.
The primary focus is on partitioning the flow
into distinct flow regimes, and predicting the
withdrawal layer thickness as a function of the
distance from the sink. Laboratory experiments
verified the conclusions reached from the
theoretical considerations. The withdrawal
layer thicknesses were shown to be closely pre-
dicted by the integral solution. Comparison
with measurements made by the Tennessee
Valley Authority indicates that in a reservoir the
withdrawal layers are approximately one and a
half times as large as predicted. The difference
in thickness is probably explained by the
presence of a certain amount of turbulence in
the reservoir, and interference by the rear
boundary of the reservoir. (WRSIC abstract).

in pure air, water vapor exerts a predominant
influence on electrostatic charging and sug-
gested that a maximum occurs in the generated
voltage conditions such that a layer of ad-
sorbed water a very few molecules thick was
present. Other experiments indicated that, in
the presence of air, most pollutant gases had
only a slight effect on the voltage generated. In
the presence of air, no gases wero found that
caused an increase in tribo electrification.

Effluents containing paniculate and gaseous
emissions are exhausted from certain
processes of the secondary zinc industry. Data
on those emissions with related emission-con-
trol and process data were obtained from a
sampling of plants. These data were evaluated
to obtain the results of this study. Emissions
from sweat processes occur at very low rates
where the processed zinc scrap contains only
small amounts of impurities. However, very sig-
nificant emissions of paniculate and gaseous
carbonaceous substances, and particulate zinc
oxide and zinc chloride may occur when there
are substantial amounts of impurities in the
scrap. The results of this study indicate that
emission factors for zinc sweat processes
range from zero to around 32 pounds of par-
ticulate per ton of scrap material processed.
The results further indicate that the emitted
particulate may be composed of zero to 34 per-
cent ZnCI2; 40 to 100 percent ZnO; and small
percentages of carbonaceous substance
Several emission-control concepts were
developed based on findings of the study, and
recommendations are made for further
research and development. (Author)

to the test apparatus included drinking water,
simulated sewage, primary and secondary
sewage effluents, algae pond effluent, coarsely
screened, raw sewage diluted 2:1, 5:1, and 10:1
with simulated storm drainage, and deliberately
concentrated raw sewage. Dirt, sand, and

filter elements, operated at approximately 10
gpm/sq ft2 with head losses from 1 to 4 psi,
reduced the BOD and suspended solids of raw
sewage diluted in varying degrees with water by
an average of 40 and 70% respectively. System
performance was intermediate between that of
primary and secondary treatment. Other
benefits included: Application of ultrasonic
energy increased the total quantity of effluent
filtered between backwash cycles; from 4 to 18
times that treated with similar equipment
without ultrasonics applied; and Application of
ultrasonic energy restored the filter elements to
'like-new' condition without necessitating
frequent filter replacement. Cost figures for an
ultrasonic filtration system capable of handling
1.4 mgd. exhibiting performance midway
between primary and secondary treatment, and
occupying only several hundred square feet,
ranged between 2.8 and 3.5 cents/ 1000 gal-

Economics of haul for coal do exist for longer

ownership. Most of the rates for the longer
voyages for the tanker and barge transportation
of residual oil also show economies of haul.

Although the United States has virtually un-

availability of domestic coals may be limited by
factors which range from the inherent charac-
teristics of the coal itself to the nation's capaci-
ty for producing and transporting a high grade
product suitable for various end-use markets.
In addition to coal's quality characteristics that
may restrict its use in certain markets, other
limiting factors such as manpower and trans-

production and preparation and cleaning plant
capacity are indirectly related to coal supply
and availability. Each of these constraints were

A program has been initiated with the primary
objective of applying modern analytical and ex-

demonstration of% low emission combustor for
an automotive Rankine engine. The basic
problem resolved by this program was the
demonstration that a Rankine cycle combustor
with a two million BTU per hr. heat release in a
1.33 cu. ft. volume operating on JP-5 fuel can
meet the 1980 Advanced Automotive Power
Systems emission level goals over a 100 to 1
heat release range at steady state or during
rapid transients. The program has further
demonstrated that the package size and power
requirements of combustors need not be ex-
cessive. The novel fuel automization system as-
sures that the fuels can be rapidly ignited in
even the coldest weather and does not need
warm up to maintain low emission as do the
current spark ignition engines. The novel rotat-
ing cup has been shown to be essential for low
emission control over the 100 to 1 heat release
range The precision air and fuel metering
valves and controls have also been shown to be
essential to maintain the low emissions over the
100 to 1 heat release range. (Author)

The problem of the disposal of waste pesticides
is constantly increasing in acuteness with the
diversification of their use and the growth of
population. Their escape into the environment
as a result of disposal practices must be con-
trolled or prevented. Some waste pesticides are
being stored until safe disposal methods are
available; however, they cannot be accumu-
lated indefinitely. The purpose of this project
was to investigate methods of combustion ap-
plicable to disposal of pesticide residues and
their containers and to devise a means for their
destruction that would keep environmental pol-
lution to a minimum. Oxidizing agents and bin-
ders generally aided the destruction of pesti-
cides; the combination of oxidants and petrole-
um oil binders was no more effective than the
oil binders alone. By using polyethylene, which
under heating or combustion conditions sof-
tens or degrades to products of lower molecu-
lar weight, the advantages of a liner and a
binder were obtained with one material. A prac-
tical system was devised that consisted of burn-
ing the pesticide in a flattened polyethylene bag
on or surrounded by other combustible materi-
al. Suggestions were made concerning an im-
proved design of polyethylene container or
liner to aid in carrying out the purpose of this
investigation.

Exploratory work previously had shown a range
of conditions under which sulfur is trapped by a
shallow fluidized bed of lime in which fuel oil is
undergoing partial combustion and gasifica-
tion. The possibility of regenerating the lime
had also been demonstrated. Thus the
framework had been established for a process
to eliminate SO? pollution during combustion
of high sulfur fuel oils. The process is
designated CAFB for Chemically Active Fuel
Bed. Batch reactor studies have extended the
understanding of the Chemically Active Fluid
Bed (CAFB) gasification process, the effects of
its variables, and some of its limitations. A US
fuel oil and one US limestone (BCR 1691) have
been found to be satisfactory for the (CAFB)
process, but a second US stone (BCR 1690) is
not favorable. Two new batch reactors have
been constructed. The adsorption of iron,
vanadium, and sodium from the fuel by the
limestone is mentioned. (Author)

Field studies were conducted to determine
whether contamination of the Ogallala Aquifer
could result from the current practice of injec-
tion of oil-field brines into the Glorieta Sand-
stone, which lies 500 to 1,000 feet below the
Ogallala in Texas County, Oklahoma—the study
area. The project was designed on the basis
that for brines to move from the Glorieta to the
Ogallala the potentiometric pressures in the
Glorieta would have to be higher than water-
level elevations of the Ogallala. Since the
hydraulic characteristics of the Glorieta Sand-
stone were needed for determining this fluid
relationship, a technique was developed for
making aquifer tests in brine disposal wells.
The technique has application in certain water
resources investigations and in situations
similar to that of this study. (Author)

The purpose of this research effort was to
determine the feasibility of applying the light-
catalyzed chlorine oxidation process to the
treatment of effluents from secondary waste-
treatment plants. Studies were made of
wavelength effects and intensity-time effects
for the purpose of selecting the most practical
source of radiant energy for the process. A
batch-recycle reactor was constructed to
establish certain plant-design parameters for
low-pressure mercury arcs under conditions
which simulated large-scale operations. Cost
estimates were made for the application of this
process to a plant producing 10 million gallons
of effluents per day. (Author)

The report presents the results obtained from
three pilot lagoons which were used to treat
potato wastes during the period October 1966
through June 1968. One of the lagoons received
primary clarifier effluent and was operated as a
surface-aerated, aerobic unit. A second pond
also received clarifier effluent but was operated
as a completely-mixed, covered anaerobic unit.
The effluent from the anaerobic unit was
pumped into a third pond which contained a
surface aerator. Hydraulic and organic loadings
were varied to yield a spectrum of results.
These results give feasible methods of secon-
dary treatment of potato processing wastes.

The operation of three storm standby tanks

tiveness of the tanks in improving the quality of
the waste water prior to its discharge into the
river Based on Influent and effluent sampling
data collected during the study period, storm
standby tank facilities reduce significantly con-
centration of the solids and B.O.D. in the waste
water in storm runoff periods. The extent of
reduction is dependent to a major degree on
the detention time of flow passing through the

ing from passage of waste water through the
tanks is very substantial, especially during
periods when the dissolved oxygen content of
the influent is low. (Author Modified Abstract)

A series of new and ultrathin membranes with
thicknesses from 250 to 5000 angstroms and
consisting of various polysaccharide mixed
esters and ethers were tested on microporous
supporting films for improved reverse osmosis
treatment of municipal wastewaters. From the
screening studies with secondary effluent, ul-
trathin membranes prepared from two
polymers (out of a total of 44) looked very
promising: cellulose methyl sulfonate O-propyl
sulfonic acid (CMSOPSA) and cellulose acetate
O-propyl sulfonic acid (CAOPSA). Long-term
(150 hours) testing of the CMSOPSA membrane
with secondary effluent resulted in an average
water flux of 34 to 36 gfd over the last 100
hours, and rejections of 96 percent for total dis-
solved solids, 94 percent for ammonia, and 83
percent for total organic carbon. Preliminary
membrane optimization studies showed that
the reverse osmosis properties of these new
membranes could be improved by closely con-
trolling the polymer preparation procedures
and the casting and annealing conditions. A
preliminary economic analysis was conducted.

The available literature was surveyed, and sam-
ples of all known additives procured Each ad-
ditive was analyzed for elemental composition
to provide a basis for testing. A standard
screening procedure was established to test the
effect of each additive on emissions from fuel
oil combustion. Screening tests were carried
out on all distillate soluble additives. The most
promising additives were then subjected to a
rigorous examination. Fuel additives are not a
promising way of reducing air pollution from
distillate oil combustion. A majority of the addi-
tives tested had no beneficial effects on air pol-
lutant emissions; in fact, some additives even
increased total particulate and NO(X) emis-
sions. Several of the metal-containing addi-
tives, e.g., Ferrocene, CI-2, and Fuelco SO3.
reduced total particulate emissions; however.
the unknown toxicity of new emissions they
create makes their use questionable. Further,
there is evidence that for distillate oils, burner
modifications are a more suitable route to air
pollution control (Author)

The report discusses denitrification of waste
water. The denitrification was accomplished by
continuous flow reactor, a gravity solids-liquid
separator, and sludge recycle. A portion of the
raw waste-water was added as an external car-
bon source. By operating two completely mixed
biological reactors in series it was possible to
accomplish both nitrification and denitrifica-
tion. Aeration times of 7-9 hours were used to
produce a completely nitrified effluent at tem-
peratures as low as 10-12C. Denitrification was
accomplished with a 1.3 hour mean reaction
tank detention time at 20C and in 2.6 hours at
IOC. Effluent ammonia nitrogen was that
amount which was added to provide a carbon
source. Therefore, addition of wastes with little
or no ammonia nitrogen as a carbon source
would produce an effluent nearly devoid of am-
monia nitrogen. The BOD to nitrogen ratio was
shown to be the critical parameter, inasmuch as
high ratios would produce a high effluent car-
bon content, and low ratios resulted In
complete denitrification. Keeping the ratio con-
stant resulted in an effluent nitrogen concen-
tration well below 1.0 mg/1. By this same analy-
sis, the rate of nitrate reduction was shown to
be a linear function of the sludge loading rate

The objective of the study was to determine the
feasibility of using measurements of the angu-
lar variation of the intensity of light scattered
from single particles in the problem of Identify-
ing haze or aerosol particles originating from
auto exhaust emissions. Scattering measure-
ments were to be on single smog particles dur-
ing a period of haze in Los Angeles. Analysis of
scattering curves for larger laboratory aerosol
particles shows measurable differences in
refractive index between a photochemical pine
tree aerosol and a photochemical petroleum
aerosol. For particles of diameter less than 500
nanometers only the measurement of absolute
scattering intensity at two angeles is required.
Distinctive non-spherical and absorbing parti-
cles were observed both in automotive exhaust
and atmospheric samples. Field measurements
of single particle light scattering were carried
out in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.

mainly as a secondary treatment facility
(activated sludge) to treat wastes from the cities
and sanitary districts in the Metropolitan
Denver Area. The most significant problem
areas at the Metro Denver plant, leading to the
request for assistance, were the sludge han-
dling and sludge disposal problems. The major
sludge handling problem was processing the
volume and type of waste activated sludge
generated by the secondary treatment process
employed at the plant. Operational changes in
the secondary treatment process, training in
conducting various control tests and data
evaluation were the major tasks performed dur-
ing the assistance project. These functions
were coupled with various operational recom-
mendations for both short term and long term
plant operation and control.

The Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean to
Bonneville Dam is treated as a series of two-
dimensional finite elements in the formulation
of a mathematical model of the system. Cur-
rents and stages are simulated along the river
via an explicit solution of the one-dimensional
equations of motion and continuity; two-
dimensional conditions in the horizontal are
approached by means of a branched network of
connecting channels and junctions. Computed
net velocities and stages are used as input to
the advection-diffusion equation and solutions
are obtained for any coupled (e.g., BOD-DO) or
uncoupled, first order reaction, conservative
and/or non-conservative substance Emphasis
is placed on obtaining a solution for tempera-
ture as the dependent variable. Allowance is
made for input of meteorological variables and
a stepwise heat budget computation is made in
order to predict temperature conditions on an
hourly basis. A discussion of some existing pol-
lution models, numerical methods and error
sources is given; computer programs and pro-

The applicability of the fluid bed incineration
process for the disposal of petroleum refinery
generated spent caustic and oily sludge in a
commercial scale unit has been demonstrated
Operating problems have been studied. Design
and operating procedural changes are sug-
gested. The major process limitation stems
from the loss of bed fluidity due to high particle
size growth rate. Particle size growth rate is
directly proportional to the particle diameter
and rate of dissolved solid material charged
and inversely proportional to the mass of
material in the bed. The average particle diame-
ter can be controlled by collecting and continu-
ously returning fine material to the bed, utiliz-
ing an effective attriting system, and limiting
superficial space velocity to avoid elutriation of
fines. (Author Modified Abstract)

An economic and engineering evaluation of a
submerged coal refuse combustion process to
convert acid mine water (AMW) to potable
water has been made. In this process coal
refuse is burned in molten iron to supply energy
for distillation or reverse osmosis, and the coal
refuse sulfur is trapped in a slag for eventual
recovery of sulfur. Laboratory experimentation
was conducted on those areas which could
profoundly affect the process. These areas
were: A laboratory demonstration of slag desul-
furization to produce sulfur, the evaluation of
slag retention characteristics, slag capability
for neutralizing AMW and determination of slag
compositions having acceptable fluidities. En-
gineering studies show that the process has
potential for supplying inexpensive energy for
distillation and permits the recovery of sulfur so
that distilled water is economically produced

The Adsorption and filtration of waste water in
an isothermal column of granular activated car-
bon has been mathematically modeled. Based
on this model, a simulation program was
prepared and coded in Fortran IV to be run on
the IBM 360/50 level G compiler. A separate
companion study was conducted on the filtra-
tion of a clay suspension in an activated carbon
bed to provide a filtration rate equation. The
equation so obtained was then assumed to
represent the filtration rate equation of the
waste water. Adsorption, then was considered
to be controlled by a combination of liquid
phase diffusion and intraparticle diffusion
These two phenomena were then approximated
by a solid phase rate expression based upon
Glueckauf's linear driving lorce. In addition to
adsorption and filtrations, the effects of
backwashing and regeneration were also in-
cluded in the model. A newly developed al-
gorithm was used for the numerical integration
of the pertinent characteristic normal hyperbol-
ic equations. The design of the program al-
lowed a clear separation of calculation
framework and column model This separation
was made to permit new discoveries and new
theories to be adapted to the basic program
with minimal difficulty. The incompleteness and
uncertainty ol current theories of the carbon
contact process will almost certainly make the
ease of adaption the most important feature of
the program.

While the removal of odors emitted from vari-
ous locations in sewage collection systems by
pumping the gases through a soil filter has
been well documented, the actual removal
mechanisms remained to be established. The
experiments perlormed involved variation of
the average particle size and moisture content
of the filters, and further experiments were also
performed with sterile soil. It was determined
thai the soil filter was particularly effective in
the removal of polar gases such as hydrogen
sulfide and methyl mercaptan from waste
streams. At hydrogen sulfide concentrations in
excess of 100 mg/l the biological removal
mechanisms were not significantly operative,
and chemical removal mechanisms appeared to
prevail. In dry sterile soil, adsorption coupled
with surface catalysis reactions were found to
be the predominant mechanisms for removal.
For low gas concentrations (less than 100 mg/l
H2S) the biological removal mechanisms were
predominant and wet soil was preferred. Moist
loam soil was able to remove 100% of a 775
mg/l mercaptan, in quantities of .85 liter per cu.
ft of soil/week. Methane was not removed in
any case. With proper design and care, soil fil-
ters operated in a range favorable for the
growth of microorganisms can be operated in-
definitely.

A survey of microwave ovens was conducted to
identify those makes and models which leak ex-
cessively a nd to have the manufacturers of
those ovens exhibiting excessive leakage in-
itiate appropriate corrective action Over 4000
ovens, consisting of approximately 42 models
produced by foreign and domestic manufac-

seven manufacturers have agreed to implement
corrective action programs to reduce the
microwave radiation leakage from an estimated

A laboratory investigation has been made on
those candidate systems for SO2 removal that
were developed during a literature search.
Emphasis in the investigation was placed on
the definition of those parameters which would
allow a more definitive engineering evaluation.
Of the four candidate systems recommended
previously, the non-regenerable limestone-
molten nitrate system, and the adduct or com-
plex-forming molten nitrate system have been
rejected. The remaining candidate systems -
the molten nitrate-calcium oxide system and
the tin-lead alloy system-have been in-

of the various reactive oxides dissolved or
suspended in the molten nitrate solvents have
shown that the best reactant is calcium oxide.

A major problem in the analysis of regional air
pollution abatement (control) strategies is the
collection and verification of an adequate data
base. If computer programs (such as the Air
Quality Implementation Planning Program
(IPP)) are used, the scope of the data base must
be expanded to include: Effective stack
parameters and Regional cost data as an aid in
the definition and use of these parameters, their
sensitivity, with respect to pollutant concentra-
tion values and/or annual device cost are deter-
mined. The study utilizes the atmospheric diffu-
sion model and the control cost model of the
IPP. Since these models use generally accepted
techniques, and have been verified through ex-
tensive use, the study conclusions and recom-
mendations are generally applicable. Sensitivity
analysis of the effective stack height parame-
ters for individual sources is presented. Sen-
sitivity analysis of the regional cost parameters
with respect to the annual control cost of each
physical device available in the IPP control cost
model is also given.

Two new types of resins were subjected to
laboratory evaluations of their technical and
economic feasibility for use in phosphate
removal. Multi-valent metal derivatives of sul-
fonic acid resins were found to have good
phosphorus capacities. The Iron (III) form of
Amberlite 200 strong acid cation exchange
resin, for example, exhibited capacities of up to
9.5 mg P/ml of wet resin, and in tests with
secondary effluent, a 2.7 mg P/ml capacity was
obtained. Exhausted resin was easily regenera-
ble with dilute ferric chloride solution, and after
ten exhaustion-regeneration cycles were per-
formed on one sample, no detectable loss of
phosphorus capacity was observed. The iron
and phosphorus removed from the wastewater
and concentrated in the waste brine were sub-
sequently removed from the waste brine by lime
addition and settling. A thorough cost analysis
including both fixed construction costs as well
as operation and maintenance costs.

Experiments were conducted on various ac-
tivated sludge samples over a span of several
months to determine the feasibility of using cell
DMA as an estimate of sludge biomass. These
investigations demonstrated that free DNA
released into a solution of viable microorgan-
isms by lysis of cells was rapidly degraded.
Therefore. DNA obtained from such cultures
would effectively be DNA from viable organ-
isms. Crude DNA was extracted from activated
sludge by rupturing the cells by Sonication and
centrifuging the sonicated sludge, heating at
70C to pasteurize the supernatant, and cen-
trifuging again. Estimation of cell population
was made by assuming the weight of one cell to
be 1 x 10 to the -9th mg, and the DNA content of
organic matter to be about 4% of the total
weight of the organic matter. Population sizes
based on DNA analyses were checked by using
the MPN method. Values obtained were similar
to values obtained with other methods.

The problem addressed in the report concerns
the control of emissions from motor vehicles
and particularly the actions which may be taken
before these motor vehicles are released by the
manufacturers to the public. NAPCA exerts its
main point of control at the prototype stage, by
issuing certificates for engine prototypes which
pass certain criteria when subjected to a stan-
dard test procedure. The major requirements
are on the level of carbon monoxide (CO) and
hydrocarbons (HC) in the exhaust. The Secreta-
ry of Health, Education and Welfare has been
authorized to test new vehicles or engines
being manufactured to determine if they are in
fact constructed in all material respects sub-
stantially the same as the certified vehicle or
engine. The study has been conducted to as-
semble meaningful information concerning
motor vehicle assembly line testing for assist-
ing policymakers in planning courses of action
Assembly line testing is herein projected as a
program in quality control and assurance hav-
ing two essential parts: the control and as-
surance program carried out by the manufac-
tureres and the audit and monitoring function
carried out by NAPCA. The planning, the
development, and the implementation of both
parts of the projected program are presented.

and analyzed. A review is presented of various
land use controls to improve the dispersion of
pollution from stationary sources and to reduce
exposure to pollutants. The role that private
legal action may play in the control of pollution
is reviewed. Information is presented on the
concept of cost sharing and such measures as
accelerated depreciation, investment tax-
credits and tax exemptions. The use of
economic incentives making it profitable for a
firm to introduce measures for pollution control
and, the possibilities of requiring polluters to
pay a charge for which they are responsible are
reviewed. The system for the control of air pol-
lution in use in South Wales is described and
analyzed. Finally, an assessment of the above
approaches based upon the evaluation criteria
which were developed in the course of the pro-

Regional Air Pollution Analysis Project. The Im-
plementation Planning Program is an air
resource management planning tool which in-
cludes mathematical models representing the
atmospheric diffusion of pollutants, the cost
and effectiveness of pollution control mea-
sures, and the potential air quality impact of air
pollution control strategies upon which control
legislation may be based. The following objec-
tives are examined here: Estimation of the de-
mand for control measures generated by the
need to meet the requirements of the Clean Air
Act, as amended; Examination of the emission
standards which were used in the Cost of Clean
Air Report of the Clean Air Act, and to deter-
mine if the assumption that these emission
standards will achieve air quality standards is
valid; Observation of the operational data
requirements of an IPP type analysis, to deter-
mine whether or not these requirements may be
relaxed and the corresponding data collection
problems reduced. (Author)

A program on particulate air pollution from sta-
tionary sources in the continental United States
was conducted. The specific objective of the
study was to identify, characterize, and. to the
extent possible, quantify the particulate air pol-
lution problem. Information was to be assem-
bled and analyzed on the kind and magnitude
of specific sources, and the status of current
control practices. The resultant information
was to be used to identify deficiencies in cur-
rent knowledge regarding the nature of impor-
tant particulate pollution sources, and to pro-
vide requisite handbook data for the design and
application of control devices. The results of
the study are presented. (Author)

An experimental investigation was conducted
to measure the sulfur dioxide washout by natu-
ral precipitation from the plume of a large, coal-
fired plant. The field investigation extended
over three one-month periods in the vicinity of
the Keystone Generation Station where 11 to 23
tons of sulfur dioxide, depending on power out-
put, were released hourly from two 800 feet
stacks. The primary objective of the study was
to assess the effectiveness of precipitation
washout as a mechanism for removing sulfur
compounds from the plume of the keystone
plant. A secondary objective of the study was to
evaluate the relative importance of various in-
terractions and atmospheric variables.

Bench scale batch experiments were per-
formed on sludges obtained from line
neutralization of coal mine drainage in an at-
tempt to alleviate present problems in sludge
handling and disposal. Tests were of an ex-
ploratory nature and did not afford sufficient
data for cost analyses. Ferro Magnetic sludge
densification, filter aids, coagulant aids, heat-
ing, freeze drying, and coprecipitation of calci-
um carbonate through addition of C02 were
tested. Of these, freeze drying, C02 addition,
and ferro magnetic treatment were shown to be
feasible alternatives to present disposal
methods. Each of these methods resulted in
settled sludge volume reducation of approxi-
mately 90% and increases in sludge solids con-
tents of from 0.5 to about 5% after 30 min. set-
tling periods. The ferro magnetic process has
the advantages of possible recovery of a useful
product, and elimination of costly settling
lagoons, but is very sensitive to aluminum and
requires a considerable amount of heat. Sludge
freezing is the simplest conceptual approach
and is apparently effective for any lime
produced sludge. The CO2 addition method of-
fers the possibility of partial recovery and
recycling of both CaO and CO2 through sludge
calcination.

tially and fully calcined dolomite, and hydrated
lime. Filter aids tested included Hyflo, Super-
Gel, and Celite 501, 503, and 545. Results from
the first three locations indicated limestone and
hydrated lime were preferred alkalies and Celite
501 the preferred filter aid. At the 4th site a 27
run factorial experiment investigating the effect
of flow rate, limestone feed level, aeration level,
and sludge recirculation level on equipment
operation and process cost was conducted.
Sludge solids content, filtration rate, and
sfudge recirculation were found to be signifi-
cant variables affecting process cost. Estimated
operating costs for a 1.5 MOD treatment plant
using lime neutralization were $1.16/1000 gal-
lons treated or $8.02 per 100 Ibs of acidity

Phosphate slimes have been produced by the
Florida phosphate mining industry at the rate
millions of cubic yards per year and the volume
is increasing. The water retentive charac-
teristics of the clays which are mined with the
rock are such that there is more volume of
phosphate slime to dispose of than there was
actual rock mined. Small scale tests of the
slimes were made to assess the feasibility of
their use as building materials. A process was
developed and demonstrated to be capable of
producing a pelletized, light-weight aggregate,
and finally a light-weight concrete from the
slimes The four major processing steps: pump-
ing of clay slurries of 3 to 30% solids; slime dry-
ing in a fluid bed dryer; palletizing the dried
product and kilning the product to a suitable
aggregate, were investigated in batch and
suitable equipment was selected. Aggretage
production could use up to 6-8 million tons of
clay solids annually, releasing up to 5 billion
gallons of water to the environment.

Over 50 experiments were performed on vari-

gpm facility over a 20 month period. Major
processes tested included chemical pre-treat-
ment, activated sludge, plastic media trickling
filters, deep tank aeration, and activated sludge
disposal. Trickling filters were determined to be
unsuitable, and the decision was made to
design the full scale plant as an activated
sludge plant that could be arranged in both the
conventional and step feed process variations
The plant design should include deep tank
aeration, and phosphate removal by injection of
steel pickling liquor. Sludge disposal units in-
vestigated included vacuum filtration, centrifu-
gation and filter pressing, but further research
was deemed necessary before the selection of a
single unit. 87% phenol reduction was achieved
in the biological oxidation process, somewhat
below the 97% removal required. This lower
removal percentage indicated the necessity of
further investigations.

A reverse osmosis study with a threefold objec-

prepared from trans esterified cellulose acetate
were compared with membranes made from
commercially available cellulose acetate
(control). Next an evaluation was conducted of
the in-situ regenerable membrane reverse os-
mosis design on wastewater. Finally the mem-
branes were subjected to carbon treated secon-
dary effluents, primary effluents, and concen-
trated primary effluents. Results showed that
the modified tubular membranes produced
fluxes slightly greater than the control mem-
branes, while in-situ'regenerable membranes
produced fluxes significantly below those ob-
tained with tubular units. On carbon treated
secondary effluents, modified tubular mem-
branes produced an overall average product
water flux of 15 gfd, compared to 10 gfd for the
control. Initial levels were 15 and 25 gfd for the
control and the modified membranes respec-
tively, and these fluxes could be maintained by
cleaning every 10 days with an enzyme presoak
Flux for the concentrated primary effluent (9
times the solids in primary effluent) stabilized at
4 to 5 gfd. Removal of wastewater constituents
remained nearly constant at 90 to 100% for all
three feeds, thus establishing the technical
feasibility.

also presented for making economic analyses
of the cost of excessive infiltration and inflow,

sanitary sewer systems in urban areas. Such
systems are designed to carry only sanitary
wastes, and a reasonable standard allowance is
made for unavoidable entry of ground and sur-

The feasibility of producing antibodies to DDT
and Malathion derivatives was accomplished by
immunizing animals with pesticide-protein
complexes in which the protein carrier was
derived from the species being immunized.
DDA-rabbit serum albumin or Malathion an-
hydride-rabbit serum albumin conjugates were
injected into rabbits in complete Freund's adju-
vants at multiple intradermal sites, and an-
tibody responses were encountered by the third
or fourth injection. The results demonstrate
that (1) it is possible to develop specific an-
tibodies to two pesticide derivatives, DDA and
Malathion anhydride (2) these antibodies are
highly specific for each pesticide derivative:
and (3) given enough time, the technical dif-
ficulties which have been encountered in utiliz-
ing these antibodies for the development of a
highly sensitive immunoassay procedure could
be resolved. Such a technique would offer in-
vestigators interested in pollution problems a
simultaneously highly specific and highly sensi-
tive method for detecting and measuring these
pesticides, without the need for preliminary
treatment of the samples being investigated.

During coal preparation, a coal refuse of no
commercial value is produced and discarded in
piles. As rainfall percolates through the piles,
acid waters are formed. A feasibility study has
been performed on a process producing sulfur
from such coal refuse. In this process.
limestone and coal refuse are ground, pel-.
letized, and preheated before entering a desul-
furizing shaft reactor where a hard, fired ash
pellet and an H2S-S02 bearing offgas are
produced. After sulfur, tar, and other gases are
removed, the resulting H2S-SO2 gas proceeds
to a conventional sulfur recovery plant. Experi-
mental results and economics of this study in-
dicate that the process is a profitable means of
minimizirty coal refuse pile water pollution. For
a sulfur and ash pellet selling price of $20 and
$1.50/ton respectively, it is estimated that a
coal producer will have a before tax return on
investment up to 53 percent for a one MM
ton/year plant utilizing an eight percent sulfur
refuse. (Author)

Studies were conducted to determine the feasi-
bility of a concept for recovery of floating oil
slicks which utilizes a pump induced vortex and
a vacuum suction or Coanda nozzle. The ap-
paratus used for developmental experimenta-
tion comprised a pumping system for vortex
production, a large water basin, a flapper type
wave generator, and several configurations of
the experimental assembly. The range of in-
fluence was smaller than was anticipated. Ap-
proximately a 25-foot influence diameter was
achieved for the maximum strength vortex
generated in this apparatus. Extrapolation of
measured performance data showed that a 178-
inch thick slick could be recovered at the rate of
960 gallons per hour. Experiments with and
without a variety of oils showed that enhanced
oil recovery rates with the vortex was due en-
tirely to the surface current generated by the
vortex. This effect was found to improve oil
recovery by a factor of 7.9 above the rates
achieved with a suction nozzle alone. The sur-
face position of the vortex cavity was found to
be sensitive to surface waves. The cavity moved
in a circular path within three vortex cavity radii
of the still water cavity location as a wave
passed through the assembly. Tests with a
Coanda nozzle (a fluid attachment eductor)
showed improved performance in surface
waves. However, the recovered oil-water mix-
ture was highly emulsified. (Author)

Efforts are being directed to develop effective

Mechanical recovery methods, which do not
cause additional environmental insult, are most
attractive. Such a concept, a hydraulic
skimmer, was investigated. Floating headers,
providing a linear water spray pattern on the
water surface, are attached to an open sea
workboat. Sea water is pumped through spray
nozzles mounted on the headers to move an oil
slick toward the boat. Side mounted chambers
are positioned to collect the concentrated float-
ing oil. Recovered fluid is pumped to an on-
board separation system from which the oil is
transferred to floating tanks or barges and the
water is recycled to the spray system. Experi-
mental work was directed toward component
development and evaluation of a large system
model in a simulated environment. Model ex-
periment results showed, for light oils, 80 to 100
percent effectiveness and oil recovery rates of
6600 to 8700 gph. Results with Bunker fuel were
not as good, being on the order of 1300 to 1800
gph and 12 to 30 percent effective in recovering
oil from the water surface. (Author)

A program was conducted to quantify fine-par-
ticle emissions (0.01-2 microns) from panicu-
late pollution sources. The primary objective
was to use the best data currently available (i.e..
1969-1970) on particle-size distributions of par-
ticulates from uncontrolled and controlled
sources, fractional efficiency curves for specific
control devices, and the degree of application
of control equipment on specific sources to
estimate the mass and number of fine particles
emitted from particulate pollution sources.
Secondary objectives were the assessment of
(1) the applicability of standard sampling and
particle sizing methods to the fine particle
regime, and (2) the current understanding of
the adverse effects of fine particulate pollu-
tants. This report presents the results of this
study.

A handbook is presented as part of the docu-
mentation for a study of particulate air pollution
from stationary sources. The objective of the
study was to identify, characterize, and quantify
the particulate air pollution problem in the U.S.
The document delineates the kind and number
of stationary particulate sources, the chemical
and physical characteristics of both the particu-
lates and carrier gas emitted by specific
sources, and the status of current control prac-
tices. The first three chapters of the handbook
present general background information per-
taining to source emission factors and emission
rates effluent characteristics, and control
technology. The next chapter discusses some
of the more important chemical and physical
properties of particulates and carrier gas
emitted by industrial sources. The remaining
chapters present discussions of the major in-
dustrial sources of particulate pollutants.

The absorption by the V(1) (1151.38/cm) and
V(3) (1361.76/cm) bands of SO2 has been stu-
died between 1050 and 1400/cm (9.5-7.1

have been scanned with approximately 1/cm
resolution for more than 200 samples varying in
temperature from about 296 K to 575 K and in
pressure from 0.01 to 16 aim. The objective was
to provide data on SO2 absorption and emis-
sion that are required to interpret data obtained
in this spectral interval on the emission by
smokestack exhausts containing S02. An ex-
tensive table provides information from which
the emission between 1050 and 1250/cm can be
calculated for temperatures between 296 k and
650 K. Water vapor absorbs and emits so
strongly in the region of the V(3) band of SO2
that this band is probably not useful for remote
sensing of smokestacks. Therefore, the V(1)
band was emphasized. The strengths of the two
prominent bands in molecules are: V(1), 371
plus or minus 20 x 10 to the -20th; and V(3),
3020 plus or minus 200 x 10 to the -20th.

nocuous gaseous products was possible. 95 to
98% of the reduced nitrate was in the form of
NH3, N2, N20. N02 and unreacted N03. Op-
timum conditions for reaction were: initial pH
near 8 (mole ratio of OH(-)/Fe(4=--1.5); Mole
ratio Fe(+j/NO3(-) 3; Concentration of
catalyst 1-5 ppm Cu(+> with the reaction
being carried out under anaerobic conditions;
Fe( 4 ion derived from the sulfate; NaOH
used for pH adjustment; and Phosphate
removed and carbonate content decreased.
Preliminary investigation of reduction in a con-
tinuous flow system was encouraging. The by-
product magnetite, was easily separated from
the treated water in the absence of appreciable
phosphate which inhibits its formation. Data
from 280 experiments were tabulated. Cursory
studies in potable water and secondary effluent
indicate the presence of as yet unidentified in-

Degradation and utilization of waste water
nutrients by microbial action is controlled by a
complex enzyme system. In attempts to
produce a faster-acting system, a method was
developed to biochemically fractionate the
microbial enzymes from activated sludge, to
concentrate and characterize their activity, and
to immobilize this activity by entrapment in a
polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme gel prepara-
tion was tested for its effect on the biological
degradation of a bench-scale activated sludge
process. Soluble enzymatic components were
readily separated from particulate cell com-
ponents, and the remaining soluble system was
fractioned such that catabolic activity in the en-
zyme systems of interest was maintained while
non-essential components were removed. Im-
mobilization within the gel allowed activity to
be maintained during repeated washings, expo-
sure to substrate, and storage. Limited bench-
scale tests produced no meaningful results
possibly on account of either incomplete
polymerization of the gel, an improper activated
sludge culture, or both.

A continual adsorption-biological regeneration
cycle of the activated carbon beds treating a
dyehouse effluent has been achieved over a
four-month period, resulting in a continuous
decolorization and organic reduction. The tex-
tile dye wastes can be easily decolorized by a
single pass flow through fixed granular ac-

gpm/sq ft, provided that the color bodies are
receptive to carbon adsorption. The exhausted
carbon can then be regenerated biologically
provided that the adsorbate is biodegradable.
Biological regeneration provided an adsorption
capacity in excess of 1.6 Ibs COD per Ib of car-
bon, in this instance. Color removal was vir-
tually complete at the two flow rates evaluated.
A 1.0 mgd plant was designed. For 50% COD

tion and 8.3 cents/1000 gallons for operation.
For 75% COD removal, the estimates were

The study defines the solid waste management
problem of the fabricated rubber products
manufacturing industry for the production year
1968 and examines the reuse potential of the in-
dustry's waste, as well as the reuse potential of
worn out rubber waste from the consumer,
mostly tires and inner tubes. In the manufacture
of 10.7 billion pounds of salable rubber
products in 1968, it is estimated that 1,058 mil-
lion pounds of solid wastes had to be disposed
of at the fabricating locations and at a disposal
cost of about $9.5 million. In most cases, con-
tractors haul solid waste from the plant site for
disposal elsewhere, generally to a landfill. For
the entire industry, the weighted average cost
for both in-plant collection and offsite disposal
approximates $18 per ton of solid waste. In the
rubber industry, retreaders, reclaimers, and tire
splitters are reusing and recycling solid waste;
however, the trend is downward for recycle or
reuse. Other possibilities for reusing rubber
product waste are discussed.

tained with pure Cellulomonas was 1.7 g dry
weight per liter and 6.24 g per liter for the mixed
culture. Culture mass-doubling times during
log-phase growth were usually from 3.2 to 3.7
hr. The maximum experimental volumetric
production efficiency of a continuous run using
pure Cellulomonas was about 0.10 g of dry cell
mass per liter of fermenter capacity per hr. The
single-cell protein, produced as a light brown
to yellow-brown powder, has a crude protein
content of 50 to 55 percent. (Author)

established. Nonpackaging paper includes
such items as newsprint, printing papers, sta-
tionery, towels, and household tissues, con-

mation about nonpackaging paper was
acquired and evaluated to arrive at forecasts of
consumption in 1976. Disposal characteristics
and rates are discussed. Calculations indicated
that 14.3 million tons reached disposal sites in
1966 and this amount is expected to increase by
6.3 million tons by 1976. In pounds per capita,
discarded paper will increase from 200 Ib in
1966 to 250 Ib in 1976, a net change of 25 per-

recreational use was the 'visitor day,' defined as
12-hr use of a recreational facility by one per-
son or use by many persons whose aggregate
time in an activity equals 12 hr. Some of the
results of the study were that generation rates
did not vary regionally or with the level of camp-
ground development; that containers were
well-designed and maintained; that land-
disposal sites were de facto dumps, not
operated to local, State, or Federal standards;
and that the distance from the Forest Service
recreational area to the disposal sitq and the in-
tensity of recreational use in the area had the
most influence on the cost of solid waste col-
lection. (Author)

Changes in the hydrologic equilibrium of a river
basin resulting from resource development also
produce changes in the quality pattern. Since
the burden of quality maintenance must be
shared by users (just as are quantities) predic-
tions are needed for quality changes which
might result from contemplated development at
any specified location within the river system.
This study reports the development of a com-
puter simulation model of the water and salt
flow systems within the Upper Colorado River
basin. Because of the close relationship
between the hydrologic and salinity flow
systems, an understanding of the hydrologic
system is essential to successful management
of the salinity system. In this study development
of a hydrologic model is based on water
budgeting or accounting procedures, in which
available data on historical water flows, mu-
nicipal and industrial uses, and the demands of
agriculture are used. The salinity dimension is
then added, and the joint hydro-salinity model
is verified (calibrated and tested) by comparing
computed and observed output values. The
utility of the model is demonstrated by applying
it to a particular subbasin of the San Juan River
and predicting the effects on downstream water
quantity and quality of developing a large ir-
rigation project within the area. (Author)

Results of Initial operation of a computer-based

urban combined sewer system are presented.
Impressive reductions in combined sewer over-
flow pollution of the Mississippi River in Min-
neapolis and St. Paul have been effected. Work-
ing entirely within the limits of the existing In-
terceptor sewer system, and with relatively
minor modifications to selected major com-
bined sewer regulators, incidence of overflow
was reduced by 66% and duration of overflow
by 88% during most of a rainfall season. Com-
puter simulation techniques using actual rain-
fall data indicate that the amount of overflow
volume reduction achieved is the equivalent of
a $200 million separation project. A mathemati-
cal model has been developed that will, with
rain gage data as Input, perform runoff analysis,
diversion of combined sewer runoff hydro-
graphs at regulators, and routing of diverted
hydrographs through the interceptor system.

Experiments up to 150 days in length were con-
ducted to study the acid production rate of coal
mine pyrites under various gas atmospheres.
The gas atmospheres studied were air,
nitrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. The
lower limits of the oxidation process were stu-
died by introducing small amounts of oxygen •
along with the inert blanketing gas and by stu-
dying the effects of deaerated versus air satu-
rated feedwater. Acid production was propor-
tional to the available oxygen partial pressure.
The acid parameters monitored continued to
change and had not completely reached a
steady state by the termination of the work. The
acid production of nitrogen blanketed pyrite
decreased to less than 1% of that of identical
columns under air atmosphere. Nitrogen and
methane gases were equally effective in reduc-
ing acid production. Both of these gases were
slightly more effective than carbon dioxide. A
large amount of detailed experimental data is
presented. (Author)

Objectives of the project were: Define the
characteristics of combined sewer overflow; In-
vestigate the feasibility of high-rate filtration for
treatment of combined sewer overflow; and
Develop and evaluate alternative methods of
solution. Investigative activities included:
Review of pertinent reports and technical litera-
ture; Field monitoring of combined sewer over-
flows and separated storm water discharges at
three sites; Laboratory studies of ultra-high-
rate filtration of combined sewer overflow;
Hydrological analysis; and Evaluation of feasi-
ble alternatives (based on conceptual design,
preliminary cost estimates, and other factors).
Reservoir Storage, Treatment at Overflow
Points, Conveyance Tunnels and Mined
Storage, and Sewer Separation were the ap-
proaches considered sufficiently promising for
detailed evaluation. Tunnels and Mined Storage
with treatment at the Blue Plains plant and at
Kingman Lake after subsidence of the storm is
recommended. Estimated capital costs (based
on the 15-year storm) are $318,000,000 with an-
nual operation and maintenance costs of
$3,500,000. This approach also was preferable
to the others on the basis of systematic evalua-
tion of reliability, flexibility, public convenience
and other non-quantifiable factors. (Author)

The objective was to develop a technique of
evaluating the dispersed pollutional loads from
urban runoff. The technique involved analyti-
cally determining several pollutant parameters
from twelve separate drainage basins, and then
correlating the pollution levels to land use prac-
tices. The study used the statistical tools of cor-
relation coefficients, component analysis, and
multiple regression analysis to develop predic-
tor models for estimating urban dispersed pol-
lutional concentrations and loads. Separate
mathematical equations for estimating the ex-
pected seasonal bacterial, organic, nutrient.
and solid concentrations from urban runoff
were developed. The predictors used in the
equations were common urban area variables,
such as population, population density, com-
mercial establishment density, percentage of
streets, and environmental index. Twelve mixed
land use drainage basins located in the City of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, were used as the test areas.

The growth of population and insutry in the
coastal regions of the country, along with in-
creased use of coastal waters for disposal of
wastes produced inland, presents the potential
of new or increased pollution in a valuable na-
tional resource. In order to assure that marine
water auality is maintained and enhanced for
present and future water uses, each source of
waste input must be evaluated for its impact on
the environment. Treated wastes must be
discharged in such a manner and location that
the resulting concentrations and contact times
do not violate the water quality requirements
specified for the desired water uses. The
disposal process can be designed within these
constraints through a mix of at least four
techniques: degree and type of waste treat-
ment; site selection; outfall or barge distribu-
tion of wastes; barrier construction. The report
presents a review of the literature pertinent to
the theoretical development of present ocean
outfall design technology as it applies to waste
discharges in general.

The importance of nitrogen fixation by blue-

nitrogen-15 was introduced for measuring in
situ nitrogen fixation rates in natural waters
Nitrogen-15 techniques were developed for
measuring nitrate and ammonia uptake, and
the imporlanc3 of ammonia as a nitrogen
source in lakes became apparent. Denitrifica-
tion rates were measured accurately in anoxic
lake waters. Rapid ammonia supply and tur-
nover was demonstrated in lake waters. This
implies that substantial nitrogen regeneration
takes place constantly in surface waters of
these lakes, and that this can provide a major
nutrient source for the photosynthetic popula-
tion. Such ammonia supply is independent of
any sediment interaction. The limnological in-
formation available for interior Alaska has been
expanded through the work. The Dumas
method using a Coleman nitrogen analyzer
were introduced for preparing nitrogen sam-

The influence of cold-start vehicle emissions on
air quality is investigated using a photochemi-
cal/diffusion model. Both the time and space
distribution of cold starts are examined. A day
from an October 1968 Los Angeles smog
episode serves as a baseline for determining
diffusion coefficients, nitrogen balance, and
hydrocarbon reactivities. Vehicular and sta-
tionary sources for 1968, 1971, 1974, and 1980
are emission inputs, and pollutant concentra-
tions at the ground are air quality outputs. Stag-
nant central basin conditions govern the time
phasing studies. Emissions introduced during
the starting process have the greatest effect of
all on carbon monoxide peaks, the effect being
to increase the peak CO concentration from 9
to 13 percent. The levels of ozone and nitrogen
dioxide that build up later in the day are in-
fluenced less because chemical processes af-
ford dilution time If vehicle starts are decen-
tralized geographically, only a slight increase in
the pollutant loading is noted because of the
low morning speeds. Based on the results of
the study, three possible weighting schemes
are proposed for combining cold-start and hot
start driving cycles. (Author)

A report is presented which is directed to the
definition and analyses of governmental ap-
proaches to control air pollution from privately
owned automobiles. The report is separated
into three basic components: Average emission
per vehicle per mile; Miles of use; and Location
of use. Chapter 1 discusses policies aimed at
the automotive industries to encourage
development of pollution control technology
and low pollution fuels. Correspondingly, the
range of policies available to induce the mo-
torist to do his part to control average emis-
sions per mile are discussed in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 considers the measures available to
reduce the aggregate amount of annual au-
tomobile use. Chapter 4 details what urban
planners can do to reduce auto pollution emis-
sions in urban areas and facilitate dispersion of
existing pollution. The two remaining chapters
deal with the relations among these focal
points.

The pyritic sulfur content of some bituminous
coals can be reduced by gravimetric separation
or 'washing'. The extraction of energy and sul-
fur value contained in the reject fractions is
technically feasible. Under favorable conditions
the sale of extracted energy and sulfur products
will to some degree offset the cost of washing.
The purpose of the study was to select, design,
and evaluate the high sulfur combustor and sul-
fur recovery process with the greatest potential
for utilizing high-ash, high-sulfur coal reject
material produced by the deep cleaning of coal.
The report therefore includes preliminary
designs and evaluations of several combustion
and flue gas treating systems for processing
high sulfur fuels drawn off from rejects of coal
washing. These fuels, will need to be made up
to specifications that depend on; the require-
ments of available processes for sulfur value
recovery, and on the limitations of combustion
equipment in respect of ash. The 'High Sulfur
Content' (HSC) Fuel specifications can be
satisfied by appropriately re-combining
selected portions of reject material from deep
cleaning of coal. Four specimen HSC Fuel com-
positions are tabulated along with product and
cost data on six processing systems for these
fuels. (Author)

Oliver processing brines containing 0.05 to

mixed bed of cation and anion exchange resins
in a process known as the Aqua-Ion process. In-
fluent pH, salt content, and COD levels were the
particular variables of interest investigated.
Sodium chloride levels of 500 to 7000 ppm were
subjected to random variations in pH and COD
levets, with 94% removal being obtained at 2700
ppm, the optimum for the ranges investigated.
Holding pH and COD constant, sodium chloride
levels were varied between 600 and 6000 ppm,
with resulting effluent concentrations of 150
ppm for influent concentrations of 600, 1000,
and 2700 ppm. Influent concentration of 6000
ppm resulted in an effluent concentration of
790 ppm. Calcium hydroxide regeneration was
used, with the regenerant being repeatedly cy-
cled through the resin bed to establish the max-
imum salt concentration attainable in the
regeneranl effluent. Levels of 3000 ppm were
obtained with no indication of leveling off.
Pretreatment with activated carbon reduced
distributor deposit formation, ennabling possi-
ble flow rates of 10,000 gpd. Cost analyses
based on pilot plant information predicted a
cost of 26 cents per 1000 gallons treated.

The market for air pollution instrumentation
during the decade of the 70's has been deter-
mined. The market analysis presented is based
on the survey of instrumentation requirements
conducted at the federal, state, and local level
and on an analysis of current legislation and air
pollution control codes. The market was esti-
mated for three areas of measurement instru-
mentation: ambient level monitoring, stationary
source emission measurement, and auto ex-
haust measurement. This market amounts to
nearly one-half billion dollars during the com-
ing decade, some 76% of which represents ini-
tial purchases of air pollution measuring equip-
ment. Industry will be the major purchaser of in-
strumentation accounting for 45% of the mar-
ket. The market is heavily oriented towards sta-
tionary source emission measurement, this
area accounting for one-half of the total instru-
mentation market value. It is shown that the
timing is a critical factor in the market with each
of the three areas of measurement reaching

An assessment was made of the economic im-
pact of air pollution on electronic components.
To begin the study, electronic components
were divided into eleven different categories as
defined by the Department of Commerce. The
manner and amount of damage from air pollu-
tants that might have been expected in each of
these component categories was assessed by
surveying the literature describing pollutant
material damage mechanisms. The expected
effects were compared with the actual ex-
perience of major manufacturing companies
which appeared to account for most of the
sales in each category. Where the literature sur-
vey indicated that gaseous sulfur compounds,
notably sulfur dioxide, should be expected to
account for most of the damage to electronic
components, interviews with manufacturers
revealed that paniculate matter, actually was
responsible for most of the electronic com-
ponent and equipment malfunctions currently
being experienced. The economic effects,
which were represented by three cost catego-
ries, were applied to each component category
and then summed to arrive at a total cost of
about 1S.5 million. (Author)

Quantitative effects of stonedust sediment from
a crushed limestone quarry on fish and
macroinvertebrate populations of an Indiana
stream were studied for four years. Light inputs
increasing suspended solids loads less than 40
mg/l. resulted in a 25% reduction in macroin-
vertebrate density. Heavy inputs caused in-
creases of more than 120 mg/l including some
deposition of sediment resulted in a 60% reduc-
tion in macroinvertebrate population density.
Since most taxa responded to the same degree,
population diversity indices were unaffected by
density changes. Experimental introductions of
sediment caused immediate increases in rate of
invertebrate drift proportional to the concentra-
tion of additional suspended solids. Standing
crop of fish decreased drastically when heavy
sediment input occurred in the spring but fish
remained in pools during the summer when
input was heavy and vacated pools only after
sediment deposits accumulated. After winter
floods removed sediment deposits, fish
returned to pools during spring months achiev-
ing 50% normal levels by early June. Only
spotted bass was resistant to sediment; how-
ever, its growth rate was lower below the quarry
than above. Most fish were much reduced in
standing crop below the quarry.

The influence of several variables on the
backscattering of laser light by aerosols was
studied. He-Ne laser light was used to illu-
minate aerosol particles generated by a Col-
lison atomizer. The backscattering of light by
the particles (effective angle: T73.5) was mea-
sured as a function of relative himidity.
Depolarization and field studies were also
made. Potassium chloride, sodium chloride,
and sodium bromide particles all scattered
more than twice as much light after becoming
droplets. The change in phase occurred at
lower humidities than those appropriate for the
bulk material. These salt particles depolarized
13 to 25% of the incident polarized light intensi-
ty when dry particles and 6 to 12% of the in-
cident light when droplets. The effect of chang-
ing ambient relative humidity was also studied
for methylene blue dye and uranine dye parti-
cles. Depolarization measurements were also
made for polystyrene latex and dioctyl phtha-
late aerosols. These gave depolarizations of 6%
and 4% respectively. The laboratory device
which measured the backscattering from the
aerosols was used in a field test along with a
LIDAR device. The field test, while not conclu-
sive, indicated that relative humidity did affect
LIDAR measurements. (Author)

The report estimates the annual emission of the
five principal air pollutants (particulates, SO2,
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and NO2) in
the State of Montana, as of 1970. The data were
obtaim-d from voluntary responses to question-
naires sent out in behalf of the state, supple-
mented by published references on fuel usage
and area emissions, and by personal communi-
cations. Point source losses are responsible for
nearly all of the S02 emitted in the State. Prin-
cipal sources of SO2 emissions are nonferrous
metal smelters followed by oil refineries and
utilities; the balance is accounted for mostly by
the industrial combustion of fuel. The same
group of point sources accounts for about one-
third of particulate emissions. Additional sub-
stantial contributors are forestry and agricul-
tural operations, including teepee burners and
slash burning, contributing about one-third.
and forest wildfires and stubble burning, esti-
mated to contribute about one-fourth.

within each of the states eight Air Quality Con-
trol Regions are summarized by source type.
The approach used in the inventory is to deter-
mine the consumption of fuels according to
combustion sources for power, space heating,
and other industrial commercial process needs.
The emissions from these sources were esti-
mated by the use of appropriate emission fac-
tors applied to the fuel and/or process involved.
The inventory is restricted to five major primary
pollutants; particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon

Approximately 70.000 rail freight cars are
dismantled each year for the purpose of salvag-
ing reusable parts, scrap iron, and steel. About
half of these cars each contain three to seven
tons of wood, which must be removed before
the scrap can be reused or recycled. To control
or eliminate the pollution from open burning of
railroad freight cars to remove the wood, alter-
natives were investigated and evaluated. A
forced-decision model, which produces or-
dinally weighted scores, was devised to aid in
selecting alternatives. Two high-scoring
methods were a hooded self-incinerator and
high-pressure water jets. Further investigation
and phototype development on these two
methods were recommended. (Author)

Packaging materials are increasing in quantity
much more rapidly than the population,
primarily because of the continuing rise in self-
service merchandising. Per capita consump-
tion, which was 404 Ib in 1958, is expected to be
661 Ib in 1976. Until recently, no systematic
analysis of the relationship between packaging
and solid waste disposal had been undertaken.
These interactions are defined, and the dif-
ferences, with possible solutions, are explored.
In the report packaging materials, consumption
data from 1959 to 1966, and the outlook from
1966 to 1976 are discussed. Also covered are
the areas concerned with disposability, analysis
of the collectability, the resistance to disposal
and processing, and the salvageability and
reuse of packaging materials. Finally the
mechanisms are explored to mitigate problems
that arise from this type of waste: how research,
education, incentive programs, taxes, and
regulations can reduce the quantity and reduce
the processing difficulties of this disposed
material, yet save the natural resources from
which packages are made.

are reported. The basic methodology for

odor was developed during the previous effort
on this program. The approach developed in-
volved sensory characterization as an integral
part of the study. The experimental approach
for analysis of the odor species was to collect
large volumes of exhaust by condensation at
OC, extract the organic portion of the exhaust
from the non-odorous portion by liquid column
chromatography. During this current program,
the details of the methodology required for
identification of the smoky-burnt odor fraction
were completed and applied to the analysis of
this fraction. All of the odor-significant species
in this fraction have been identified. While
several paraffinic oxidation products were
recognized as important odor contributers. the
most important smoky-burnt odor species are
those associated with the partial oxidation
products of compounds found in the aromatic
fraction of the diesel fuel. (Author)

A 7.5 mgd advanced wastewater treatment
plant at South Lake Tahoe, California has been

Chemical treatment, mixed media filtration, and
granular carbon adsorption have been shown
to be efficient, reliable, and economical
processes for wastewater treatment. A degree
of reliability and flexibility comparable to that
achieved in electric power generation and
water purification has been achieved by ap-
propriate selection and sequencing of unit
processes and proper plant design. Plant
bypasses have been elimaled. Bacteria and
viruses have been entirely eliminated from the
effluent by small chlorine dosages. Lime has
been recalcined in a multiple hearth furnace
without air pollution, and granular activated
carbon has been successfully regenerated and
reused, with stack gasses scrubbed to meet air
pollution standards. The wastewater treatment
cost has been approximately twice the cost of
conventional wastewater treatment.

Laboratory tests were conducted to determine
the feasibility of electro-oxidation as a means of
removal of ammonia from wastewaters. It was
determined that, under conditions of ammonia
concentration and pH typical of treatment ef-
fluents, the electro-oxidation reaction
proceeded stoichiometrically to nitrogen and
no other oxidation products. Oxidation oc-
curred in concentrations as low as 2 mg/l of
ammonia. Using platinized platinum as an elec-
trode, ammonia decomposition occurred in a
narrow potential rnage with high coulombic ef-
ficiency, assuming a three-electron exchange
per ammonia molecule. Conversion of nitrogen
to the elemental form was demonstrated by
analysis of the gas from the anode. No detecta-
ble quantities of nitrite, nitrate hydrazine, and
hydroxylamine were discovered in the gas.
Electric power costs were estimated at
$.01/1000 gallons, but cost of the platinum
electrodes was prohibitive. Experiments with
other electrodes were unsuccessful. Unless
less expensive electrodes are developed, the
process cannot be economically competetive
with other methods.

Alkylated amidines dissolved In an aromatic
hydrocarbon were absorbed In macro-porous
polystyrene beads to form a water-Immiscible
extractant system for the removal of nitrate
from wastewaters. The amidines are relatively
strong bases and possess the advantage over
the simple aliphatic amines that they exist in the
salt form in contact with wastewaters in the pH
range of 7.0 to 8.0. They can, however, be readi-
ly regenerated with alkalis, such as ammonia or
sodium hydroxide. Amldlnlum ion in the or-
ganic phase selectively extracts nitrate ion over
chloride ion by a factor of about 20
(nitrate/chloride ratio in the organic phase is
about 20 times the ratio in the equilibrium
aqueous phase), and nitrate over sulfate and
bicarbonate by much higher ratios. Therefore,
amidine systems will pick up mainly nitrate ion
from municipal wastes. Seventy bed volumes of
a synthetic municipal wastewater containing 62
ppm nitrate ion and 350 ppm chloride ion were
treated before breakthrough of nitrate ion in the
effluent. Processing costs were estimated cur-
rently at 16 cents/1000 gal.

The physical oceanography and surface wind
structure of the Gulf of Alaska and waters ad-
jacent to the Pacific Coast of Alaska are briefly
outlined. The information is then used to evalu-
ate efficacy of the rather arbitrary 50-mile Inter-
national Agreement Zone inside which vessels
are prohibited from discharging oily ballast
waters and slop oil with a concentration greater
than 100 ppm. (Author)

An extensive review of the literature was made
to assess the present state of scientific
knowledge and technology regarding water
pollution problems associated with the practice
of irrigation and occurring in irrigation return
flow. The effect of irrigation on the subsequent
reuse of water by other users was considered
Feasibility studies have been conducted on
treating and disposing of return water. A need
was found for economic research explicitly
concerned with irrigation return flow. The legal
aspects of reuse and water quality of irrigation
return flows were examined and the recom-
mendation made for more intensive study of the
inseparable nature of quality-quantity manage-
ment in relation to institutional, economic, and
legal restrictions. The article contains 245
references and a separate bibliography of 700

'Denitrification.
Techniques tor extracting organic sulfur and
nitrogen compounds from coal without signifi-
cantly altering the remainder of the coal matrix
were tested in the laboratory. The concept for
chemical removal of organic sulfur and
nitrogen is feasible. Weak organic acids remove
45-80% of the organic sulfur from the coals in-
vestigated depending on process conditions
and the specific coal leached. Nitrobenzene ap-
pears to be the most efficient solvent for the
removal of organic sulfur. Aqueous caustic
removes small amounts of organic sulfur from
some coals, but none from others. Particle size
(-200 mesh to 1/2-inch) has no discernable ef-
fect on the removal of organic sulfur by
nitrobenzene. The leaching solvent,
nitrobenzene, may be recycled at least three
times to remove organic sulfur from coal. Weak
organic acids and strong inorganic acids ap-
pear to remove nitrogen from the coals tested
in this program according to the Dumas analyti-
cal method, but no nitrogen is removed accord-
ing to the Kjeldahl method. Weak organic acids
for removal of organic sulfur from coal may be
readily adapted to engineering process
schemes. The cost of the process for removal of
organic sulfur from coal is highly dependent on
the degree of solvent loss, and the ability to
recycle solvent and allow high sulfur com-
pound buildup. The process cost for removal or
organic sulfur is approximately $1.00-$1.SO/ton
of coal. (Author)

problem involving the removal of pollutants.
Thus there is continual interest in finding new
separation methods for potential use in this ap-
plication. The reported research explored the
applicability of three separation processes to
water pollution control: Colloid flotation for
removal of clay materials; Coagulated ion
exchange resin for removal of electrolyte; and
Adsorbing colloid flotation for removal of elec-

The effluent and sewage sludge from municipal
and industrial treatment plants is a source of
water and nutrients for agricultural uses. Con-
sidering its potential, only a few instances of
agricultural uses of waste water in crop produc-
tion have been recorded. Most of the literature
on this subject is by scientists in the sewage
disposal field. The report brings together 284
annotated references on the agricultural uses
of sewage effluents and sludge. Such uses aid
crop production, but also make use of water
that would have been wasted, decrease the pol-
lutant load on the receiving streams, and
preserve the normal stream flow for
downstream uses.

Nitrogen Supersaturation, caused by the series
of hydroelectric dams on the Columbia and
Snake Rivers, seriously threatens the future of
salmon and steel head in the Pacific Northwest.
A study was made to determine the scope of the
problem and recommend solutions. Nitrogen
Supersaturation is caused when river flows ex-
ceed the capacity of power generating turbines
in dams and excess flow must be passed over
the spillway. Concentrations of dissolved
nitrogen up to 147 percent of surface equilibri-
um concentrations have been measured. Levels
above 105 percent produce symptoms of gas-
bubble disease in fish and levels above 120 per-
cent are lethal. Increasing use of the hydroelec-
tric system for peak power generation may add
to the problem. Recommendations are in-
cluded.

The report summarizes recent developments in

continuation of a previous effort which was
concerned with applying single beam (Gabor)
pulsed ruby laser holography to the recording
of particulates over extreme distances. The
present work attempts to determine if limestone
dust in the presence of flyash background
could be recorded holographically via back or
side scattering of a ruby laser beam. To in-
vestigate the feasibility of making holograms of
side or back scattering of a ruby laser beam, a
mathematical model was first derived. This
model related 4 factors which gives the trans-
mittance along the scattering path from the
laser to a detector and allows analysis of ex-
perimental measurements.

A zinc recovery system was developed to
recover zinc from dilute zinc sulfate lost both
when acid spun yarns are washed and at vari-
ous stages in the spinning process. The
process included neutralization of the waste
stream to pH 6.0, sedimentation of insolubles,
crystallization of zinc hydroxide in a high pH
environment, sedimentation of zinc hydroxide
and solubilization of the zinc with sulfuric acid.
A pilot plant was constructed and operated. It
obtained 98-99% removal efficiency The zinc
hydroxide sludge was easily concentrated.
Operating and maintenance costs were esti-
mated. Recovery and sale of 2000 Ibs of zinc
daily assures recovery of these costs.

products from vacuum distillation of the waste
oils were sold as low sulfur heating fuel as

was not recovered. Varying composition of the
waste oils accounted for much or the operation
difficulty encountered. Metal based additives
caused numerous clogging problems. Feed

The report is a compilation of air pollutant
emissions in the Chittenden County Area, Ver-
mont. The objective of the emission inventory is
to determine the quantity of various air pollu-
tants emitted, as well as delineate their geo-
graphical variations. The pollutants considered
in this survey were: aldehydes, oxides of
nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, or-
ganic acids, oxides of sulfur, and paniculate
matter. Data gathered herein are primarily
representative of 1968. The Study Area consists
of the Greater Burlington Area and the sur-
rounding towns of Bolton, Charlotte,
Colchester, Hinesburg, Huntington, Jericho,

Analyses of air pollution data indicate that air
quality measurements tend to fit a general
mathematical model having specific charac-
teristics. These characteristics have been used
to develop equations that may be employed to
calculate the geometric mean, standard
geometric deviation, maximum concentration,
and various percentile concentrations of air
pollutants. To illustrate the predictive, as well
as the interpretive value of the model, parame-
ters have been first calculated for one averag-
ing time from actual data and then calculated
for other averaging times by means of the
model. Maximum concentrations with the
model are compared with measured values for
seven gaseous pollutants obtained during con-
tinuous sampling for up to 7 years in eight ci-
ties. The resulting information can be used in
developing implementation plans and emission
standards. All the equations needed for per-
forming the calculations are listed.

A summary report is presented of the Portland,
Maine, air pollutant inventory. The study area
consists of four counties surrounding the cities
of Portland, Lewiston and Auburn. This area
covers approximately 2,600 sq. miles and had a
1969 population of 400,000. A grid coordinate
system was used to show the geographical dis-
tribution of emissions within counties. All
sources of emissions were divided into five
categories: transportation, stationary fuel com-
bustion, solid-waste disposal, industrial
processes, and evaporative losses. (Author)

A feasibility study was undertaken in Alabama
near a point source of sulphur dioxide, emis-
sions to determine the best film-filter-scale
combination of aerial photography to evaluate
SO2 injury to forest vegetation. Normal color
film, exposed through a didymium filter, at very
large scales (1:800 and 1:1,584) proved to be
the most accurate sensor. Color infrared film
was almost as good. Interpreter differences
were least at large scale and on color film.
Ground variables which were best correlated
with photo interpretation were: crown color,
needle color, Munsell hue, percent of current
needles with tip dieback and the length of the
tip dieback. A combination of photo and
ground plots appears to be the most efficient
design for measuring these effects—especially
if done over large areas.

The liquid ion exchange extraction process has
been used consistently tor removing small
quantities of uranium, vanadium, copper and
other metals in sewage treatment. In successful
tests of the ability of liquid ion exchange to
remove alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) from
sewage plant effluents, it was discovered that
some phosphorus was removed also. Various
metal-containing organic compounds were
screened for their activity as liquid ion
exchange reagents for phosphate. The com-
pounds were tested for selectivity in extracting
inorganic phosphate from water into organic
solvents in the presence of chloride, sulfate,
and bicarbonate. A tribenzyltin acetate com-
pound was also successful in extracting
phosphate.

An algal system consisting of algae growth,
harvesting and disposal was evaluated as a
possible means of removing nitrate-nitrogen
from subsurface agricultural drainage in the
San Joaquin Valley of California. The study of
this assimilatory nitrogen removal process was
initiated to determine optimum conditions for
growth of the algal biomass, seasonal varia-
tions in assimilation rates, and methods of har-
vesting and disposal of the algal product. A
secondary objective of the study was to obtain
preliminary cost estimates and process design.
The growth studies showed that about 75 to 90
percent of the 20 mg/l influent nitrogen was as-
similated by shallow (12-inch culture depth)
algal cultures receiving 2 to 3 mg/l additional
iron and phosphorus and a mixture of S percent
CO2. The most economical and effective algal
harvesting system tested was flocculation and
sedimentation followed by filtration of the sedi-
ment. The market value for this product as a
protein supplement was estimated to be about
$80 to $100 per ton.

The problem under consideration is that of
horizontal moisture movement in a semi-in-
finite column of homogeneous soil initially at a
uniform moisture content and with flow in-
troduced under a certain applied constant pres-
sure at one end. The soil-water system is subdi-
vided into saturated and unsaturated zones.
The liquid pore pressure in the saturated zone
varies linearly with distance from the applied
pressure at the soil face to the critical-suction
value at the interface between the saturated
and unsaturated zones. (Author)

A radiological surveillance study was un-
dertaken at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station
to make available information for calculating
population radiation exposures at routinely
operating commercial pressurized water reac-
tor (PWR) stations and to demonstrate effective
monitoring procedures. Radionuclide concen-
trations and external radiation were measured
in the immediate environment of the station. At
the same time, the radionuclide contents of
liquids and gases at the station and of effluents
at points of discharge were measured, and
levels of environmental radioactivity were esti-
mated from these values. The radioactivity in ef-
fluents at Yankee consisted mostly of 3H, in
amounts typical of PWR stations that use fuel
clad in stainless steel. The amounts of other
radionuclides discharged to the environment
from the reactor plant were very small, ap-
parently because of effective containment of
fission products other than 3H within the fuel
elements and treatment of wastes by storage
(for radioactive decay) and evaporation. A con-
siderable fraction of the effluent radioactivity
was discharged at the secondary coolant
system because these effluents are released
without treatment. (Author)

Data were collected on the processing of refuse
into compost, and on compost markets, plant
equipment facilities, and procedures. Based on
these observations, possible uses of compost in
the United States are suggested. In Europe, a
limited percentage of domestic refuse is com-

Laboratory experiments have demostrated
hydrogen not only to be an excellent substitute
for conventional hydrocarbon fuels in internal
combustion engines but also to have the in-
herent qualities necessary for a permanent
solution to the air pollution problem. This con-
clusion was reached after extensive tests were
conducted with an air-cooled single-cylinder
gasoline engine converted to run on hydrogen.
The engine's operational characteristics com-
pared favorable with those of its gasoline coun-
terpart. Furthermore, the NOX content of the
exhaust was an order of magnitude lower than
that expected from a gasoline engine. Trace
amounts of unburned hydrocarbons and car-
bon oxides, also present, originated from the
lubricating oil. It was concluded from these ex-
periments that a multi-cylinder automotive en-
gine converted to run on hydrogen should be
able to meet the 1975/76 Federal Emission
Standards. (Author)

operation. Rate of change of hydrodynamic
aeration trajectories and thermal effect versus

served as a guide for design of a more effective
system for continued research and develop-
ment of destratification of large reservoirs.

The theory of waste assimilation in flowing
streams has long been understood and, in a few
cases, the application of theory has been made.
A basic need in this field lies in the understand-
ing of the behavior of the various components
of reaeration and how these differ according to
stream type and prevailing climatological con-
ditions, A method is presented which can be
used to separate and measure the components
of reaeration in flowing waters Plastic cham-
bers are used to separate the effects of
photosynthesis, diffusion, and respiration on
the oxygen balance of a stream's regimen and
further separate these parameters according to
the benthos and organisms which are free-
floating. Dissolved oxygen measurements were
made in conjunction with supporting informa-
tion such as atmospheric pressure, tempera-
ture, stream velocity profile, light intensity, and
the percent of light transmittance to the
benthos.

Detention time is of primary importance in
many waste treatment processes and probably
the most universal design standard. The pur-
pose of the paper is to introduce a radiotracer
(or determining the detention of paniculate
matter in hydraulic systems and to demonstrate
simple, fast, and reliable methods of combining
this tracer with dye tracers to determine the
hydraulic performance of sewage treatment
processes. Tracer methods using iron-59 were
devised and are described for silt tracing in
rivers and reservoirs, suspension tracing in
lagoons, and sludge handling processes. Iron-
59 almost completely adheres to particulate
matter when introduced into a sewage suspen-
sion. (Author)

Because of the increased production of carbon
monoxide from man's activities, it was con-
sidered important to study the biosphere's sink
for it. The report describes studies conducted
to determine if soils and vegetation could serve
as a sink for atmospheric carbon monoxide.
This was accomplished by exposing various
soils and plant samples to experimental at-
mospheres containing carbon monoxide. The
results show that higher plants tested had no
detectable capacity for decreasing carbon
monoxide, soils from a wide range of ecotypes
depleted carbon monoxide, prolonged expo-
sure of soil to carbon monoxide reduced the
soil's capacity to deplete carbon monoxide,
soils oxidize carbon monoxide to carbon diox-
ide, and carbon monoxide depleting microor-
ganisms were identified.

The report presents information obtained in the
evaluation and collaborative testing of a
reference method for measuring the sulfur
dioxide content of the atmosphere. The
technique is called the pararosaniline dye
method or sometimes the West-Gaeke method.
Different variations of this method have been
used extensively by many laboratories since the
original publication in 1956, and it has been
found to be reliable and reasonably free of in-
terferences. Collaborative tests were performed
involving a total of eighteen laboratories. A
statistical analysis of the data of fourteen
laboratories provided the following results,
based on the analysis of pure synthetic at-
mospheres using the 30-min sampling
procedure and the sulfile calibration method
prescribed. Results are also presented with
respect to the use of control samples and re-
agent blank samples, the minimum number of
samples required to establish validity of results
within stated limits, and the statistical evalua-
tion of various steps included in the method.
The method can give satisfactory results only
when followed rigorously by experienced
laboratory personnel. The publication of the
method in the Federal Register, April 30, 1971,

Of all the various methods available to measure
atmospheric particle contaminants, the so-
called High Volume Method (frequently called
'Hi Vol' Method) has probably been used more
extensively than any other. Since no stan-
dardized procedure has been available to guide
different laboratories In the use of this method.
each laboratory has had to develop and evalu-
ate different techniques. The report presents
the results of a collaborative test of the High
Volume Method. A statistical analysis of the
data obtained provided the following results:
The relative standard deviation for single
analyst variation; The relative standard devia-
tion for multilaboratory variation is 3.7 percent;
and the minimum detectable amount of particu-
late matter is 3 mg (95 percent confidence
level). The method is rugged, and variations in
procedure and technique can occur with only a
minor effect on the results.

Because of recent air pollution laws, there is
need of an accurate mobile hydrocarbon
analyzer. Measurement of so-called 'non-
methane hydrocarbons' was carried out in a
mobile laboratory using a flame lonization de-
tector. Total hydrocarbons were measured by
running air directly through the detector.
Methane was measured by running air through
a methane-saturated carbon column which
retained all organic contaminants other than
methane. The difference was then the 'non-
methane hydrocarbons.' Bag sampling may be
superior to continuous monitoring, depending
on circumstances. Sensitivity appears to be
marginal in view of the federal standards. The
method is subject to error due to difficulties in
calibration, temperature control, and other vari-
ables. (Author)

The report was prepared to aid in planning a
program to standardize methods of source
measurement used in air pollution control.
Many differences exist between methods used
for ambient air measurement and source mea-
surement, related to the differences in concen-
tration, temperature and humidity of the sample
streams, interferences that affect analytical
results, and other factors. The differences in the
two types of methods have been substantial,
therefore results obtained with these different
methods likely are not equivalent. Emission
standards have little meaning unless a method
of measurement is specified, and specific
methods or general guidelines have usually
been published with such standards. The need
for a standardization program is outlined.

The report is concerned with the control of Npx
emissions from diesel engines. The objective
was to correlate engine design, performance.
and emission characteristics by theoretical
analysis, and to develop NOx-control criteria.
Mathematical models of combustion and NO
formation in diesel engines were developed;
engine design, performance, and emission
characteristics were correlated; and methods
for controlling NO emissions were identified
and evaluated. In direct-injection engines, NO
emission rate is found to vary monotonically
with fuel injection time, injection rate, and over-
all fuel-air ratio. Qualitative guidelines have
been defined for reducing NO emissions by
manipulation of these design variables while
minimizing the associated penalties in engine
performance. The tendency for indirect-injec-
tion engines to produce lower NO emissions
than direct-injection engines has been con-
firmed by the model. The direct-injection en-
gine model has been used to evaluate turbo-
charging, pilot injection, and fumigation as
methods for reducing NO emissions. Of the ap-
proaches considered, only fumigation was
found to decrease NO emissions.

The technical feasibility of evaporation of mu-
nicipal sewage treatment plant effluent for the
purpose of water reuse was investigated. The
equipment used was a long tube vertical (LTV)
evaporator. The objectives of the research were
to determine the effects of feedwater quality,
and evaporation conditions on product water
quality, post evaporation polishing, and
evaporator tube scaling. The experimental
equipment consisted of a three-effect evapora-
tor constructed of 316 stainless steel. Feed-
waters tested in the evaporator included ex-
tended aeration effluent, high rate trickling
filter effluent, and contact stabilization effluent.
The scaling evaluations were carried out under
pressure conditions using extended aeration
and trickling filter effluent. Because of in-
creased efficiencies, wastewater evaporation
should be more economical than sea water
evaporation. (Author)

greatest amount of water pollution abatement
per dollar expended. Five main subsets with a
total of 24 information sources are used to pro-
vide input, with the variables listed in terms of
relative rankings rather than absolute values.
The subsets are: (1) Effluent constituents; (2)
Industrial groups; (3) State dimensions: (4) Pro-

system has been developed for implementation
on the basis of aggregation of data on a state-
by-state basis, but the geographical base may
be readily expanded to include river basins, or
contracted to run on a county by county basis.
The system accounts for both past and current
fundings of projects, allows policy decisions on
the part of EPA management to be superim-
posed at several levels, and permits analysis of
the effects of various policy decisions.

operations which are the principal generators
of contaminated waste waters were identifed,
and the waste water volumes and compositions
for each operation were determined wherever
possible. The capability of current technology
to treat and control the contaminated waste
waters generated by the fertilizer industry was
evaluated. Problem areas where additional
research and development effort is needed to
provide adequate control of waste water
discharge were identified.

The results of the investigation suggest a
number of conditions to be met for effective
reclamation particularly of manganese strip
mines, and in general any surface mining which
tends to increase the degree of siltation and
turbidity in receiving waters. Seasonal monitor-
ing of certain chemical, physical, and biological
parameters of streams draining manganese
strip mine spoils in three stages of reclamation
verified that the community structure of fish
and benthic macroinvertebrates in these
streams remains severely depressed until
complete reclamation of the spoils has been ac-
complished. Laboratory studies established the
median tolerance limits of three native species
of fishes to silt in suspension and to manganese
ions. These studies suggest that the principal
factor depressing the faunal communities in
partially reclaimed and unreclaimed streams is
the chronically high degree of turbidity and sil-
tration.

Their purpose to raise the dissolved oxygen
level in polluted waters. Results generally cor-
roborated results of previous test, as to per-
formance of surface aerators on such rivers, in
excavated pools. A somewhat higher oxygen
transfer rate was obtained with a flow concen-
tration device, which, in a permanent installa-
tion, would take the form of low rock spur
dikes, one extending from each bank, or flow
concentration groins. Tests of oxygen diffusers
were fragmentary. A dye dispersion test gave a
very high longitudinal dispersion coefficient
downstream of the aerator. Mathematical
modelling indicated that during the period of
test, parameters of biochemical deoxygenation
were not changed by the artificial aeration
process. (See also W72-03779)

from the operation of a two-cycle outboard en-
gine. Comparisons have been made of engine
operation with and without a pollution control
device attached. Studies have also been made
of the biodegradability of the fuel and exhaust
products. Tests made in a swimming tank with
an untuned engine have shown that the quanti-
ty of fuel wasted as exhaust varied from about 7
percent of the volume of fuel used at high
speeds, to over 30 percent at low speeds. When
the Goggi pollution control device was in-
stalled, these quantities were intercepted and
collected rather than discharged with the ex-
haust. Analysis at various depths indicated that
nearly all products separated from the water in
a short time and collected on the surface. Vari-
ous analytical techniques were studied. Both
fuel and exhaust products are capable of sup-
porting microbial growth. (EPA abstract)

The purpose of the research was to explore the
appropriateness of various methods for
separating and characterizing municipal
secondary waste effluent. After examing several
methods, it was found that a combination of
membrane Ultrafiltration, solvent extraction,
thin layer chromatography, and high resolution
mass spectrometry was most appropriate. In-
frared, mass, and ultraviolet spectroscopy was
used to analysis the effluent fractions. High
resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) shows
promise for being able to obtain a great deal of
specific chemical .information even from still
very complex mixtures. (Author)

A project has been underway which attempts to
demonstrate practical means of abating pollu-
tion from coal mine mineral wastes. The site in-
cluded a refuse pile occupying approximately
40 acres and a slurry lagoon complex of 50
acres. In the report, the characteristics and acid
formation rate of the refuse pile are described.
The average rate of acid formation for this
refuse pile is 198 pounds of acidity, as CaCO3,
per acre per day. Acid contribution from the
slurry lagoons was not determined but appears
to be negligible. As an abatement measure, a
number of experimental vegetative covers were
tested. Grass was successfully established with
and without the use of topsoil, weathering well
for one year. The long-term effects of establish-
ing a grass cover directly on the refuse without
the use of topsoil are not known at this time.

The report rs concerned with economical
methods for maintaining high levels of dis-
solved oxygen in quiet rivers and ponds. The
object being to control eutrophication of
bodies of water with a high nutrient content.
The annual cost of adding oxygen to streams
and lakes is estimated for a variety of existing
and new aerating devices. Analytical and empir-
ical equations are presented for the determina-
tion of operating characteristics of the various
devices used to aerate natural bodies of water.
The most economical means of artificial aera-
tion generally possible for streams was found to
be mechanical aerators which generate a highly
turbulent white-water surface. For a lake, the
most economical technique for the continual
input of oxygen into a lake was found to be dif-
fused aeration using air bubbles. The most
economical technique for rapid input of ox-
ygen, operating only while the lake is being
destratified, was found to be a hybrid system
which draws water from the lake bottom and
discharges it at the surface where it is aerated
by a mechanical aerator. (Author)

The research goal undertaken was to develop
systems capable of abating the pollution result-
ing from the discharge of lignosulfonates or
bleach plant effluent by finding a suitable use
for these pollutants. It was desired to devise
procedures for the attachment of lignosul-
fonates or other lignin-derived pollutants to
wood or pulp fibers to create useful fiber-
polymer composites. The plan was predicated
upon the then unrecognized potential of fiber
reactive dye chemistry as a general foundation
for fiber modification. The report describes
research to determine whether the chemistry
developed for dyeing cotton was applicable to
wood derived fibers of differing morphology
and chemical composition. A typical dichloro-
s-triazine fiber reactive dye was selected
because of its availability and because after
reaction it would still be expected to contain
one reactive chlorine suitable for the at-
tachment of pollutants. The dye was found to
react with a wood-derived fibers suitable for the
subsequent attachment of lignosulfonates or
bleach plant effluents. The effects of various
reaction conditions including pH and time,
were investigated and are reported.

The purpose of the study was to determine if
the abilities of certain bacteria to oxidize fer-
rous iron or to convert sulfate to hydrogen sul-
fide could be applied to the neutralization and
subsequent removal of iron from difficult-to-
treat mine drainage waters. If one or both of
these concepts could be successfully utilized,
the expense of adequately treating these types
of problem waters might be significantly
reduced. Laboratory studies demonstrated that
both pure cultures and fresh field cultures of
acidophilic iron bacteria could readily oxidize
ferrous iron in both synthetic and natural acid
mine drainage waters. Approximate require-
ments of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and
phosphorus by the iron bacteria were
established. Limestone neutralizations of par-
tially oxidized acid mine waters were con-
ducted. Although sulfate-reducing bacteria
were isolated, attempts to grow the cultures or
produce hydrogen sulfide at pH values below
5.5 were unsuccessful.

anaerobic fermentation process is very pH de-

responsible for the final step in the anaerobic
fermentation process and are probably respon-
sible for most operational problems as they are
considered to be very pH sensitive. Because of
this sensitivity, the pH tolerance of the acetate
fermenting methane bacteria was investigated
using laboratory anaerobic filters. The research
involved the following studies: determining
what relative rate of methane production can be
achieved at various pH levels, determining the
effect of the non-optimum pH duration on the
fermentation rate, and determining what fer-
mentation recovery time can be expected from
non-optimum pH levels and what effect the
non-optimum pH duration has on this recovery.

The clarification of plant effluents, particularly

becoming of much concern for the prevention
of stream and lake pollution. The present study
was undertaken in order to examine the
mechanism of a combined use of a multivalent
cation and a polymeric compound, to arrive at a
most effective choice in their use as flocculants
for the control of water pollution problems, and
to establish the effect of size distribution on
floe formation and clarification. For prototype
solids, quartz and goethite of several different
size distributions were chosen. At the same
time they constitute the main components of
the ore minerals of immediate interest for the
iron ore industry of Minnesota. For flocculants,
calcium ion and unmodified corn starch were
used mainly because their use Is well
established. The investigation was later ex-
tended to include chemically modified starches
and polyelectrolytes.

CO, 85% of reactive hydrocarbon, and 62% of
N0(x) emissions. Attention was also given to
those sources which, while responsible for only
a small proportion of emissions on an area-

was needed. Included are the results of the
validation study for one of the more promising
existing mechanisms and a discussion of the
deficiencies of this and other formulations. A
new kinetic mechanism is presented. The
results of recent validation studies, which are
detailed, demonstrate that this model is capa-

concentration/time behavior of smog chamber
experiments for propylene, isobutylene, n-bu-
tane, and a mixture of propylene and n-butane
at initial N0(x) to hydrocarbon ratios of 1 /3 to 1.
The mechanism has also been shown to simu-

rates of variations in CO concentrations, as well
as the inhibitory effect of high initial concentra-
tions of nitric oxide on the maximum concen-
tration of ozone obtained. The adaptation of
this validated mechanism for use in an urban

The simulation model for estimating ground
level concentrations of photochemical pollu-
tants is based on the equations of continuity for
a turbulent fluid in which chemical reactions
occur. A variant of the method of fractional
steps is based on the repeated but separate
solution of three two-dimensional problems—in
(x,t), (y.t), and (z. t) space-at each time step.

The purpose of the report is to describe in a
general way the various facets of a computer
program that comprise the urban airshed
model. Emphasis was placed on the prepara-
tion of an efficient program and on insuring the
applicability of the program in any urban
airshed. An airshed is essentially defined by its
terrain, meteorological, and source inputs.
Since these parameters are all treated as input
data to the program, no difficulty should be en-
countered in applying the program in a variety
of urban airsheds. The most cumbersome
aspect of program usage is the large effort
required in the preparation of the meteorologi-
cal input data. Two programs are used in the
Los Angeles Basin simulation effort. The main
program, the Atmospheric Pollution Simulation
Program, calculates pollutant concentrations
as a function of space and time using source
and meteorological inputs. The structural and
the operational aspects of this program are
discussed. Aircraft emissions are treated as
input to this program via magnetic tape. The
computer program which generates this tape,
The Aircraft Emissions Program, is also
discussed.

The development and validation of simulation
model for estimating ground level concentra-
tions of photochemical pollutants is described.
This model is based on the finite difference
solution of the equations of conservation of
mass, using the method of fractional steps. The
bulk of the effort is developmental, Involving
the compilation of a comprehensive source
emissions inventory, the development and
validation of a kinetic mechanism for
photochemical reactions, the adaptation of the
method of fractional steps for use In the solu-
tion of the governing equations, and the
preparation of maps displaying spatial and tem-
poral variations in wind speed and direction
and in the height of the inversion base.
Although a validated kinetic mechanism has
been developed and incorporated In the simu-
lation model, validation efforts have thus far
been restricted to carbon monoxide. Provi-
sional validation results for the Los Angeles
Basin are presented.

to estimate for planning purposes. It is hoped
that this will prove a useful working document
for engineers and scientists working In the field
of wastewater treatment. Costs for conven-

ry sedimentation, activated sludge and trickling
filter plants. Advanced treatment processes
considered in this collection are: solids removal
by coagulation and sedimentation; filtration
through sand or graded media; ammonia
stripping, granular carbon adsorption; elec-
trodialysis, microstraining of secondary ef-
fluent; aeration of secondary effluent; chlorina-
tion of secondary effluent; and pipelines for ul-

pounds, trace elements, coal petrography, and
palynology. The coals sampled and tested in-
dicated that only a few could be prepared with a
practical percentage of recovery and 1.5 per-
cent or less total sulfur. Only about a fourth of
those tested had an 80 percent float recovery
and 2.5 percent or less total sulfur. The float
coal fractions usually had less sulfur in the
smaller coal sizes, but the differences were not
great enough to make fine grinding a practical
means of sulfur reduction. The maximum sulfur
in the 1.60 specific gravity sink fraction for the
40 coal samples tested was 26 percent. These
sink products indicate that the mine refuse
from some Illinois mines is a potential source of
sulfur. (Author)

The limestone injection process is an effective.
inexpensive way to control SO2 in flue gases.
Thus detailed petrographic, mineralogical, and
chemical analyses of 26 carbonate rocks were
made and compared with the capacity (3 1/2 hr.
reaction period) and differential reactivity (120
sec. reaction period) of calcined specimens for
sorption of sulfur dioxide (SO2). The study also
included petrographic and chemical examina-
tion of limestone-modified fly ashes and boiler
deposits. Image analysis and scanning electron
microscope methods were employed to ex-
amine limestones, dolomites, and a variety of
other types of carbonates and their calcines. A
wide range of petrographic and SO2 sorptive
properties were revealed. The relatively high
SO2 reactivity observed for chalks, calcareous
marls, and oolitic aragonite sand samples is be-
lieved due mainly to the high pore volume and
fine grain size of these carbonate rocks.

management practices in Germany. The trip
was designed to evaluate the possibilities of ap-
plying German technology to US. needs and to
encourage mutual information exchange
between the two countries. The common

tion operations were reviewed prior to initiation
of the field tests for information about the type
of performance required. The field tests were
then performed on each equipment/procedure
unit to determine efficiency, flexibility, and per-

conditions. Oil removal effectiveness was
greater than 98% for all restoration procedures,
with the highest effectiveness being achieved
by a motorized grader and a motorized elevat-

The effects of noise on people have not been
successfully measured in terms of 'excess
deaths' or 'shortened lifespan or 'days of in-
capacitating illness.' The only well-established
effect of noise on health is that of noise-in-
duced hearing loss. There is clear evidence to
support the following statements about the ef-
fects on people of exposure to noise of suffi-
cient intensity and duration. Noise can per-
manently damage the innear with resulting per-
manent hearing losses that can range from
slight impairment to nearly total deafness.
Noise can result in temporary hearing losses
and repeated exposures to noise can lead to
chronic hearing losses. Noise can Interfere with
speech communication and the perception of
other auditory signals. Noise can disturb sleep.
Noise can be a source of annoyance. Noise can
interfere with the performance of complicated
tasks, Noise and other acoustical considera-
tions can reduce the opportunity for privacy.
Noise can adversely influence mood and
disturb relaxation. In all of these ways noise can
affect the essential nature of human life and its
quality.

The World Health Organization defines health
as a state of physical, mental, and social well
being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity. Using this definition it is evident that
noise can be considered as having an important
influence on the health of man. Because of its
pervasive influence in all settings, activities and
walks of life it has been often cited as a major
source of annoyance as well as a threat to
physical and mental health. For most people
the usual consequences of noise are associated

A study has been undertaken to survey the
economic impact of noise. Data available are so
rudimentary that they do not lend themselves to
even the most primitive economic analysis. It is
demonstrated that the number of sources of
noise in homes, in industry, on the highways,
and in the air is growing at a dramatic rate. It is
also shown that substantial costs are as-
sociated with noise and its abatement. Costs
such as those associated with equipment
redesign, right-of-way, and receiver insulation
are discussed in detail. A discussion of spend-
ing for noise research is included in the study.

The report is intended to serve as an introduc-

between physical measures and psychological
responses. The basic principles of sound
generation and propagation are discussed as
well as the measurement of both the physical
attributes of noise and the effects of noise on
people. The suitability and effectiveness of vari-
ous noise exposure rating schemes, used to
estimate or predict the effects of noise on man,
are discussed and critiqued. Included are sam-
ple calculations of sound level, loudness level,
and perceived noise level for five selected spec-
tra. The need is stressed for inclusion of well-
defined environmental and operational require-
ments into measurement procedures for those
devices where the noise produced is dependent
on the surroundings and the operation of the
device. Also presented are a glossary of per-
tinent acoustic terminology and a compilation
of existing standards related to noise. (Author)

Physical properties, including porosity,
permeability, particle size distribution, and den-
sity of spent shale from three different retorting
operations, have been determined. Slurry ex-
periments were conducted on each of the spent
shales and the slurry analyzed for teachable
dissolved solids. The concentrations of the vari-
ous ionic species in the initial leachate from the
column were high. The major constituents,
S04(-2) and Na(}, were present in concentra-
tions of 90,000 and 35,000 mg/l in the initial
leachate; however the succeeding concentra-
tions dropped markedly during the course of
the experiment. A computer program was util-
ized to predict equilibrium concentrations in
the leachate from the column. The extent of
leaching and erosion of spent shale, and the
composition and concentration of natural
drainage from spent shale has been determined
using oil shale residue and simulated rainfall.
Concentrations in the runoff from spent shale
have been correlated with runoff from the spent
shale have been correlated with runoff rate,
precipitation intensity, flow depth, application
time, slope, and water temperature. (Author)

Four small outdoor reactors, a predator in-
fested outdoor pond, and numerous indoor
systems were designed, constructed and
operated to provide data describing the kinetics
aspects of algal systems used as wastewater
treatment schemes. The studies included deter-
minations of: The kinetics of ammonia-nitrogen
as a growth limiting factor; The effect of
nutrients in wastewater effluents on algal
growth; Suggested designs for both indoor and
outdoor growth reactors; and Predator-prey
relationships in outdoor algal systems. Specific
growth rate data for nitrogen were quite con-
sistent, allowing the use of the maximum
specific net growth rate as an extremely reliable
parameter of system operation. Other studies
demonstrated that permissible dilution ratios
for waste water discharges into receiving
waters can be formulated empirically. Design
and operational information of various systems
is presented, as well as preliminary bioassay

Three domestic sewage stabilization pond
systems were studied to evaluate the relation-
ship between design criteria and performance
criteria for pond systems In accomplishing
specific waste treatment steps. One system
consisted of a lined high-rate pond following
sedimentation, another was comprised of con-
ventional secondary waste treatment followed
by a pond system, and the last consisted solely
of several deep ponds in series. Study results
indicated that the last system, consisting of an
anaerobic pond, an unlined high rate pond, and
deep high-rate polishing pond, was effective in
both BOD and nutrient removals, with mean an-
nual removals of 97.3%, 93.2%, 91.6%, and
64.5% for BOD, COD, total nitrogen, and
phosphate. Results confirmed that pond func-
tioning is determined by position with respect
to other ponds and unit processes, as well as
their individual design characteristics. (Author)

Biological degradation of a comples waste as-
sociated with the manufacture of herbicides,
specifically 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, and 2,4, 5-TP acids,
was accomplished under actual field condi-
tions. A completely stirred aeration lagoon was
installed between an existing conventional
sewage treatment plant and existing stabiliza-
tion lagoons to avoid hydraulic overloading of
the former and reduce the BOD loading to the
latter. Joint treatment of the herbicide waste
and diluting municipal wastes was accom-
plished biologically, demonstrating that pilot
plant studies related to such wastes reported in
other literature are valid. In vitro experiments
with individual chlorophenols and the related
chlorophenoxy acids diluted with aeration
lagoon effluent indicated that these substances
are rapidly decomposed when sufficient biolog-
ical populations have been established.

A quantitative approach is presented for the
biological portion of thermal discharge siting
surveys and discharge monitoring. Three types
of studies are covered: A very general study of
the aquatic system and the pertinent literature;
A comprehensive pre-operational study
designed to supply data (or management deci-
sions on power plant siting and data to serve as
baseline for possible future comparison; and A
post-operational continuation to detect possi-
ble effects if a thermal discharge to a natural
water body is allowed. Two methods are recom-
mended for location of sampling stations by
use of a grid system based on planned outfall
design. Sample collection and handling
methods and frequency of sampling are sug-
gested for fish, macroinvertebrates, plankton,
periphyton and aquatic macrophytes. Methods
of data handling recommended include diversi-
ty and redundancy indices and a combination
of the two into one value for a test for disper-
sion. A scale of importance is suggested for or-
ganisms of special value in either an economic
or ecologic sense. (Author)

The purpose was to develop a practical, data-

rise and plume rise versus distance from a large
coal-fired power plants. The results are
presented of an investigation of the relation-
ships of the meteorological, plant design, and
operating conditions to the: initial plume rise
within 152 meters from the source: rate of
plume rise with downwind distance; and
distance where the maximum rise occurs. More
than 1,100 photographs were used in this
evaluation, incorporating special methods. For
a known stability range, an expression may be
determined for estimating the effective plume
rise at various distances from the stack. An
equation for estimating the effective plume rise
at any downwind distance up to 3.000 meters
during neutral conditions, stable conditions,
and very stable conditions is determined. For a
selected downwind distance, an expression is
determined for estimating the effective plume
rise during any stability conditions. (Author)

The broad objective was to determ ine the space
and time variability of air quality, on time scales
two hours or longer and on a minimum space
scale of 5000 feet square in urban, suburban
and rural locations and to relate this to the use
of monitoring and models in tactical and
strategic air quality operations. The state of
Connecticut was used for the study. An attempt
is made to determine how great a bias might be
introduced by improper sampling procedures.
Estimates of SO2 concentration were made by
two models for four selected areas of the state.
Frequency distributions were prepared and the
observed data were log-normal. Spatial dis-
tributions of air quality model estimates were
examined in three regions, one of which was
actually a double region in the eastern portion
of the state for both models. Modeling for both
short and long-term concentration estimates
can be performed but it is very clear that a good
source inventory is required. This is especially
important for short-term models. (Author)

Concentrated on limestone-sulfur dioxide
(S02) reactions, alkaline additives research has
defined the kinetics and capacity as well as the
effects of everburning. The kinetics of S02
sorption by limestone calcines has been deter-
mined with a high temperature differential bed
gas solids contactor. The effects of particle
size, percent conversion of CaO, sulfate load-
ing, pore size, surface area, and geological type
of carbonate rock were investigated. The loss of
reactivity due to everburning was studied using
an oil fired boiler belonging to a power com-
pany. Eighty-six carbonate rock samples were
tested In a fixed-bed reactor to determine their
capacity to react with flue gas containing sulfur
dioxide. Although most of the work was per-
formed with the carbonate and the oxide at
standard test conditions, supplementary tests
were made on hydrates, oxides and carbonates
over a wide range of reaction temperatures and
calcination conditions. (Author)

by agricultural chemicals, runoff from animal
and poultry production, and sedimentation.
Current planning, advisory and regulatory func-
tions of the two Governments is discussed.
Some basic research of the joint study-group is
summarized. Improper manure spreading or
storing, and runoff from livestock feeding areas
have the greatest potential impact on water
quality. Pesticide contribution to environmental
contamination is receiving closer scrutiny. The
erosion problem is measured In sediment load
in streams and deposition rate in reservoirs.
High chloride levels, measured in tributary
waters, seem related to road salt application.

The report shows that, among solid sorbents,
the most promising class for removal of SO2
from flue gases is cellulose containing materi-
als such as wood, cotton, and newsprint. In par-
ticular, it was found that newsprint regenerably
sorbs sulfur dioxide from synthetic flue gas
streams at operating temperatures. Preliminary
engineering designs and estimates of invest-
ment and operating costs for control of four
sulfur dioxide contamination sources are
presented. The process designed for utilizing
cellulosics would employ a moving-bed of
shredded paper as a sorbent of sulfur dioxide
from flue gas streams. The sulfur dioxide is
subsequently removed from the paper by ther-
mal desorplion for use as a feed stream in sul-
furic acid manufacture. (Author)

A three-dimensional numerical model based on
the Eulerian conservation equations for mo-
mentum, heat, water vapor, salinity, and air pol-
lutants was used to examine the transport and
diffusion processes in the planetary boundary
layer. Horizontal diffusion was incorporated
through a strongly and implicitly diffusive
finite-difference scheme for the horizontal ad-
vection terms, viz. upwind differencing. How-
ever, terms representing other transport and
diffusion processes were explicitly included in
the differential equations. It is feasible to simu-
late the temporal variation of meteorological
and pollutant variables, on a three-dimensional
array containing several thousand grid points,
within practical limits on a computer. Simulated
urban-rural low level temperature differences in
winter are qualitatively realistic. The simulated
daytime vertical profile of pollutants show a
well-mixed surface layer with quasi-constant
concentrations. The nighttime profiles show
definite peaks of concentration near the source
height. Three-dimensional fields of
meteorological and pollutant variables were
simulated using Connecticut source inventory
data and typical (hypothetical) winter
meteorological conditions. (Author)

costs and effectiveness of alternative sulfur
dioxide control systems for emissions of fossil

Sulfur emissions can be controlled by either
stack gas control processes, desulfurization of
oil or coal, or the burning of naturally-occurring
low sulfur fuels. The economic aspects Involved
are the capital and operating costs of stack gas
and desulfurization facilities and the incremen-
tal costs of purchasing and shipping low sulfur
fuels. The most current technical and economic
data were compiled and evaluated for six stack
gas processes. The costs per ton of coal or per
barrel of oil were determined given a variety of
conditions. The cost of transporting bulk reac-
tants or low sulfur fuels can be significant when
studying control economics. (Author)

sources are identified according to equipment
type and size, regional distribution, fuel, user,
age and other factors of significance to air pol-
lution emissions. Estimates of installed capaci-
ty were made for the base year -1967, with pro-
jections for 1975, 1980. 1985, 1990. Only inter-
mediate-size conventional boilers were in-
cluded. Boilers were broken down according to
type and size. Annual emissions of S02, N0(x)
and particulates were computed by applying a
series of operating factors (boiler efficiency.
load factor, etc.) to the capacity inventory using
a computer program (STRAT). The identifica-
tion and the analysis of the cost-effectiveness
of possible control approaches was also made.
The major strategies examined included: fuel
switching; flue gas treatment; and combution
modification. Process designs and costs data
were developed. The STRAT program was used

Law(Jurisprudence).
The scope of the research described was to
determine and demonstrate the air pollution
aspects of urban and transportation planning
and to encourage the inclusion of air quality
control considerations in the planning process.
The need for the study is based on the fact that
urban planning decisions, which have profound
effects on ambient air quality, are often made
without proper consideration of their air pollu-
tion consequences. The recommendations in-
clude a summary of the basic work items for the
five-year program of research and support ac-
tivities. The contribution that urban and trans-
portation planning can make to the improve-
ment of air quality was developed. The inter-
relationships between air pollution, land use,
and transportation systems are described,
based on an intensive state-of-the-art review.
The role of urban and transportation planning
in air quality control is discussed in the follow-
ing contexts: land development and density
patterns; spatial arrangement of buildings and
site activities; planning of transportation
systems, design and construction practices;
and operation of buildings and transportation
facilities (Author)

was undertaken to provide factual information
bearing on the allegations and to aid in
delineating the solution of any observed
problem. The investigation concerned con-
tamination of the environment by arsenic, cad-

The implementation of environmental controls
normally results in added costs and may result
in economic and locational adjustments within
these industries. The study summarizes these
adjustments as they relate to the fruit and
vegetable processing industries in terms of
costs, capital requirements, profits, industry
structure and location, employment, product
prices and regional and national economic im-
pacts. The general approach used was to ini-

of supply, demand, price and operating require-
ments of these industries and given this base.
evaluate the microeconomic relationships
among representative firms within the fruit and

and, second to then project macroeconomic
impacts at the industry level based on the
resulting microeconomic impact relationships
which were developed. (Author)

The Molten Carbonate Process for the removal
of sulfur oxides from power plant stack gases
has been evaluated. The purpose of the evalua-
tion was to advise on the continued course of
action regarding this process. The removal of
sulfur oxides from an 800 MW power plant
operated with coal containing 3% sulfur was
selected as a base case. Alternate cases involv-
ing coal-burning power plants were included.
Various copper smelter situations were also
reviewed. Process and engineering problem
areas were identified and potential solutions
were examined. Cost estimates are given detail.
The process converts recovered sulfur oxides
successively to sulfides and H2S. (Author)

The report serves as a general summary and
background frame of reference for the detailed
industry reports prepared for the Council on
Environmental Quality. It estimates the
macroeconomic effect of the sum of the
requirements for pollution control standards
for all of the industries examined in those re-
ports. The costs of pollution control have been
taken, as estimated by CEO and EPA, which
have been incorporated in those reports, and
have applied price mark-up factors to deter-
mine the amount of price increase at the indus-
try and macroeconomic levejs. Also analyzed
are the effects of increased investment which
will be required by existing pollution control
legislation. (Author)

Defeat of a pollution control bond in a local
community can result in a significant delay in
the implementation of the Federal Water Pollu-
tion Control Act. Hence, it is important that the
Environmental Protection Agency understand
what factors affect the outcome of municipal
bond elections so that it can offer assistance
wherever possible. Initial statistical investiga-
tion identified 34 independent variables as-
sociated with the outcome of bond elections in
a non-random pattern. Regression analysis
then identified eleven variables which together
explain 62% of the variance in the outcome of
bond elections for water pollution control
These eleven variables can be grouped into
four categories: population characteristics.
community characteristics, characteristics of
the bond issue, and campaign characteristics.

The report is concerned with the implementa-
tion of pollution abatement at a local level of
government. The report is in three parts. The
first contains a discussion of the past practices
and recent trends in water pollution control as
it relates to water quality. Next the dollar benefit
of a lake or stream at a given water quality is
determined by listing all uses which both affect
and are affected by water quality, by valuing
each use individually, and by summing the
resultant values. Finally a study was undertaken
of a methodology for water pollution abatement
administration at the local or regional level,
using Onondaga Lake. N Y. as an example.

Improved dewatering of sewage sludge has
been accomplished for the first time by biologi-
cal means: namely, through the agency of the
enzyme lysozyme acting under controlled con-
ditions. Improved dewatering was measured by
a 4 to 8-fold increase in filtration rate, which, if
extrapolated to plant scale operations, should
result, in a given time period, in a 2 to 3-fold in-
crease in solids yield, thus achieving a signifi-
cant cost saving. A number of other exo- and
endo-enzymes were also tested for their effects
on dewatering, with uncertain results. Several
microorganisms were isolated that showed
lysis around their colonies when they were
grown on agar plates containing sludge. Of
major significance is the demonstration that the
relative mild conditions of a biological process
permit attacking the sludge dewatering process
at its source - the matrix material. (Author)

algal nutrients and other constituents in water
flowing into and out of Upper Klamath Lake are
identified and the quantity of these constituents
is compared in pristine streams, canals, rivers,
agricultural drainage, and springs. Chemical
analyses were made of algae, lake sediment
and bottom fauna samples. Algal species were
identified and measured. Aphanizomenon flos-

measure variations in primary productivity were
conducted in situ and in the laboratory.

Studies of algal nutrient interchange between
sediment and water under environmental con-
ditions were carried out in Upper Klamath Lake,
Oregon. Experimental 'pools' of lake water in
contact with the sediment and experimental
pools of water not exposed to the sediment
were compared with the open lake. Water quali-
ty measurements were made to determine
whether interchange processes could be ob-
served directly in the water, to establish condi-
tions for laboratory interchange tests, and to
compare lake conditions with the experimental
poojs. Interchange definitely occurred when
Oscillatora floated to the lake surface with at-
tached sediment which contained soluble
nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. The ef-
fects of gas evolution, wind, currents, fish,
boating, benthos, diffusion, etc., on the shallow
lakes was not quantitatively determined, but it
seems quite probable that anything that stirs
the sediment causes interchange of nutrients.

A summary report is presented of the emission
inventory for the Mid-Connecticut Lower
Pioneer Valley. The survey provides estimates
of the present levels of air pollutant emissions
and status of their control. The pollutants which
include sulfur oxides, particulates, carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides
are delineated with respect to source type,
season of the year, and geographical distribu-
tion within the area. The Study Area, which was
chosen on the basis of the distribution of popu-
lation and air pollution sources, consists of 103
cities and towns in portions of Connecticut and
Massachusetts. A grid coordinate system was
used to show the geographical distribution of
emissions within the area. All sources of emis-
sions were classified into four categories:
transportation, stationary fuel combustion,
solid-waste disposal, and industrial processes.
Emissions were estimated by using various in-
dicators such as fuel consumption, refuse bu-
rining rates, vehicle-miles, production data,
and control efficiencies and emission factors
relating these indicators to emission rates.

refuse, a low sulfur fuel, with heat recovery in
utility grade boilers. An earlier study in this area
resulted in the identification of optimal system
design configurations and quantification of
benefits to the environment and the economy.
The program has applied that knowledge to
specific case study areas. Arrangements with
two cities having high SO2 burdens and grow-

collected and analyzed. Specific design

The report presents projections describing the
future nature of the city refuse-fuel inventories,
specific recommendations as to plant types,
sizes, and sites, cost analyses of operations in-
volving the utilization of such systems, and esti-
mated reduction in S02 and paniculate emis-
sions. From these data, the conclusion can
readily be drawn that the systems recom-
mended would be more cost-effective than the
methods that are now in use. (Author)

A summary is presented of the emission inven-
tory for the Willamette Valley, Oregon
Metropolitan area. The report provides esti-
mates of the present levels of air pollutant emis-
sions and status of their control. The pollutants
which include sulfur oxides, participates, car-
bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen ox-
ides are delineated with respect to source type,
season of the year, and geographical distribu-
tion within the area. The study area which was
chosen on the basis of the distribution of popu-
lation and air pollution sources, consists of 10
counties in the State of Oregon which included
the cites of Portland, Salem and Eugene and 5
counties in the State of Washington. A grid
coordinate system was used to show the geo-
graphical distribution of emissions within
counties. All sources of emissions were divided
into six categories: transportation, stationary
fuel combustion, industrial processes, refuse
and evaporative losses and miscellaneous com-
bustion. (Author)

study of the effect of injecting air in the exhaust
at the underside of exhaust valves of a two-

used to measure odor and smoke. A commer-

Detroit diesel 6V-71 E powered municipal

generally resulted from a catalytic muffler
device. Both odor and smoke were less from
similar buses powered by a 6V-71 N type en-
gine. A number of truck-tractors with a variety
of engines and drivelines were evaluated to
develop dynamometer procedures and acquire
limited baseline emissions. Due to low exhaust
temperature and unsteady flow conditions with
extended engine idle, the city bus exhaust
represents one of the most difficult to treat by
catalysis, and a number of catalytic devices em-
ploying both transition metal and precious
metal catalyst coatings were unsatisfactory. An
electrostatic precipitator was completely un-
successful in reducing smoke. Fuel seemed to
have little or no effect on perceived odor from
three buses powered by 8V-71 N engines

The feasibility of recovering electricity from the
waste heat of electric power plants was as-
sessed. Sources considered were: stack flue
gas. gas-turbine exhaust, and condensing
steam. Typical 1600 MW fossil-fuel steam plants
and gas-turbine plants were used as examples
Flat plate heat exchangers were designed with
thermoelectric couples arranged in series
within the plates. Heat flux, conversion efficien-
cies, and flow friction losses were calculated.
Except for the condenser application, the fric-
tion losses are several times the thermoelectric
power generated Under favorable conditions, 3
to 9 MW is obtainable from the thermoelectric
condensers The high material cost, however.
precludes all such applications today. (Author)

There has been increasing interest in studying
the rise of hot smoke plumes from large power
plants in relation to the dispersion of at-
mospheric effluents. A number of plume rise
formulas derived primarily from data on small
stack emissions are in popular use. Application
of these formulas to increasingly larger emis-
sion sources warrants a closer examination of
their conformity with actual experience. The
objective of the research reported was to define
the plume profile for various combinations of
generating unit sizes, stack heights, and
meteorological conditions. Three separate
simultaneous field measurement techniques
were used—ground level photography, ground
level modified transit readings, and helicopter
observations. Ground photography was the
principal source of data. (Author)

Mathematical models for heated water outfalls
were developed for three flow regions. Near the
source, the subsurface discharge into a
stratified ambient water issuing from a row of
buoyant jets was solved with the jet inter-
ference included in the analysis. The analysis of
the flow zone close to and at intermediate
distances from a surface buoyant jet was
developed for the two-dimensional and axisym-
metric cases. Far away from the source, a pas-
sive dispersion model was solved for a two-
dimensional situation taking into consideration
the effects of shear current and vertical
changes in diffusivity. A significant result from
the surface buoyant jet analysis is the ability to
predict the onset and location of an internal
hydraulic jump. Prediction can be made simply
from the knowledge of the source Froude
number and a dimensionless surface exchange
coefficient. Parametric computer programs of
the models are also developed. (Author) .

water from thermal power plants. The criteria
by which the power plants themselves are
designed and optimized are described. These
criteria are both technological and economic.
The general aspects of power plant selection
are reviewed. Design and cost optimization
procedures are also reviewed. This includes
capital costs for the turbine-generator units
and for the boilers. Operating costs are com-
puted based on constant incremental running
rates. An example is carried to the point of a
present worth evaluation. The use of feed-water
heaters, and single- and multi-pressure con-
densers is described. Some operational con-
siderations including instrumentation and con-
trol and plant layout are discussed briefly.

new technologies has had a marked economic
impact. Ways must be found, therefore, to max-

separate heavy metal ions, acids, bases, and
cyanides from metal finishing wastewaters.
Although no one membrane was found to be ef-
fective for all effluents, membranes of 5 dif-
ferent polymers showed considerable promise.
Simulated acidic nickel, iron, zinc, and copper
plating bath rinses were effectively treated by
ultrathin membranes of cellulose acetate, cellu-
lose methyl sulfonate, O-propyl sulfonic acid,
or B-glucan acetate diaminoethyl ether The in-
vestigations have demonstrated that ultrathin
membrane separation performance can be
modified by: Modifying the chemical composi-
tion; Optimizing the annealing conditions;
Producing as thin a membrane as practical; and
Using a polysulfone support film. Preliminary
engineering considerations for reverse osmosis
applications to treatment and recycle of acidic
copper plating bath rinse waters are presented.

Weak washwater from a pulp mill, evaporator
condensate from the spent liquor recovery
system, and paper machine white water ef-
fluents were treated over a 17 month period in a
secondary treatment plant consisting of 2 aera-
tion basins. One basin was equipped with two
75 hp aerators and the other with six 25 hp
aerators. Piping was designed to permit series
and parallel operation of the two basins, and
provisions were made to recycle treated waste.
Series operation was superior to parallel opera-
tion for the wastes treated. Trie two 75 hp aera-
tors were much more efficient in both mixing
and aeration capacity than the smaller 25 hp
units. An 80% BOD reduction in the system was
achieved at a loading of 2.2 ibs BOD/hp-hr
equivalent to a daily load of 16,000 Ibs BOD.
Total operating costs are discussed. (Author)

Two high rate trickling filters packed with
polyving chloride media, an oxidation ditch
with brush type aeration, and an earthen lagoon
with mechanical surface aeration, were piped
to allow them to be run in various combinations
as multi-stage pilot scale treatment units for
treatment of integrated kraft pulp and paper
primary effluent. The combinations operated on
normal strength wastewater included: Trickling
filter in series (TF): TF to aerated lagoon (AL);
Oxidation ditch (OD) to AL; and OD to TF.
Elevation of the BODS from approximately 200
to 500 mg/l was accomplished by the addition
of black liquor to the clarified effluent. The
trickling filter with recycle performed slightly
better than conventional trickling filters, reduc-
ing the BOD by 60 to 70%. 80% BODS removals
were accomplished through short detention
aerated lagoon treatment followed by clarifica-
tion. Modeling of both the individual and com-
bined treatment system was accomplished, but
with only limited applicability. (Author)

Seventy million pounds of seafood wastes,
mainly from crab, salmon, and shrimp fishing,
containing 22.1 million pounds of COD were
discharged to Kodiak Harbor, Alaska in 1970.
Aprivate firm was engaged to develop a plan to
permit development of beneficial uses for the
wastes while concurrently reducing the pollu-
tional load on the harbor. The plan included
collection and transportation of the waste to a
central processing site on Near Island for by-
product recovery. Shellfish wastes would be ex-
tracted with dilute alkali to yield a high quality
protein and a chitin-calcium carbonate residue,
the former to be used as pet food aditives or for
industrial applications, and the latter to be ex-
ported for conversion to chitin and derived
products or used in Alaska as a soil liming and
fertilizer material. Fish wastes would also be ex-
tracted to yield a concentrated protein product
similar to fish solubles oil and bone meal.

An experimental 120 gpm pilot treatment plant
was used to treat a combined waste composed
of municipal sewage, wastewater from a Kraft
linerboard mill and wastewater from a ground-
wood-cold extraction caustic insulation board
mill. The pilot plant included combined and/or
separate primary sedimentation units, followed
by one secondary system consisting of 24 to 30
hrs of extended aeration, and one high rate
plastic media trickling filter followed by 12-15
hrs of aeration. The two secondary treatment
systems operated in parallel, receiving one-half
of the total flow in each, and both systems had
secondary sedimentation and sludge return.
The pilot plant achieved in excess of 90% BOD
removal, with no supplemental nutrient addi-
tions needed. Total estimated operating and
capital costs for the combined treatment are
given. (Author)

Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant. An 85 mgd
section of the plant receiving the same influent
was operated as a control. The East Plant with
iron addition, achieved 91.3% removals (0.70

cation, pH, alkalinity, and microscopic ex-
aminations of the sludge microorganism in-
dicated that the addition of unneutralized waste
pickle liquor did not adversely affect purifica-

Cooling of pulp mill condensates, decker fil-
trate, turpentine decanter underflow and con-
denser waters from a barometric type evapora-
tor produced the removal of 10,000 Ibs BOD per
day and an 8 to 10 mgd reduction in overall mill
water needs for an 850 ton/day Kraft linerboard

have occurred, and preliminary treatability stu-
dies have indicated that the cooling tower

Several of the nation's largest fishkllls have
resulted, in part, from this increasing
wasteload. Research is being done on treat-

Air quality sampling instruments, if operated on
a regular schedule with consistent sampling
and analytical procedures, will produce data to
allow long-term trends and short-term excur-
sions in air pollutant levels to be identified. By
proper location of samplers, maximal and
minimal (background) concentrations can be
quantified, as well as pollutant levels near cen-
ters of population, hospitals and other areas of
interest. The first part of the document contains
descriptions of the existing air pollution control
programs in the State of Alaska, detailed
discussions of the existing air quality data, and
a definition of an air quality surveillance pro-
gram which will meet the minimum federal
requirements as defined by the Federal Re-
gister. Then described are procedures which
will be used in sample collection, sample analy-
sis, and data handling. In the State of Alaska, it
is important that the air quality monitoring pro-
gram define the existing problems in such
detail that cause- and- effect relationships can
be developed to both solve existing problems
and prevent the perpetuation of problems in the
future. A section address this aspect of the sur-
veillance program. Finally a timetable for
completion and resource requirements is given.

Two 100,000 gallon collapsible tanks were
anchored under water in Lake Erie to demon-
strate, on a pilot.scale, the feasibility of storing
combined sewer storm overflow in underwater
flexible tanks. Site selection, model testing,
system design, construction, and one year's

During the year's operation, 988,000 gallons of
storm overflow were contained and returned to
the treatment plant for treatment. Construction,
operation, and maintenance costs are
discussed. It was determined that for larger in-

both the overall feasibility of the system, and
the optimum tank size should such a system be
feasible. Life expectancy for tank materials can
only be determined in full scale operation in the

Decreases in the influent substrate concentra-

The fate and effect of NTA both in ground
waters and in soil profiles overlying ground
waters were studied using laboratory models.
Sorption of NTA on soils slows its movement
into and through ground waters. Sorption is not
sufficient to prevent or greatly reduce potential
pollution of ground water by NTA used as a de-
tergent builder. NTA infiltrating through most
unsaturated soils undergoes rapid and
complete degradation and contributes only in-
organic nitrogen compounds and carbonate to
ground waters. NTA infiltrating through satu-
rated soils experiences only very limited
degradation, with a major portion entering
ground water intact. Any NTA which escaped
degradation during infiltration through soils
could transport such metals as iron, zinc,
chromium, lead, cadmium, and mercury from
soils into ground waters. NTA would degrade
slowly in essentially anaerobic ground-water
environments. (Author)

Most new thermal power plants will use cooling

it affects the power industry and the consumer,
is discussed. Data and analyses show that the
cost of providing thermal pollution control is
not a restrictive factor in the production of elec-
tricity. Incremental increases in the production
cost of electricity from plants with closed-cycle
cooling over those with once-through fresh-
water cooling are not excessive. More impor-
tantly, the impact of thermal pollution control
on the consumer cost of electricity is minimal.

Findings are summarized of surveys at three

tree sites selected were Crystal Mountain Ski
Area near Mt. Rainier National Park, Washing-

The quantity of various wastewater parameters
discharged is a linear function of number of
full-time employees, and either or both total
visitors and overnight guests depending on the
facilities. This relationship was verified by mul-
tiple linear regression analysis techniques.
Statistically significant but highly variable rela-

suspended solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and
total phosphates. It is recommended that the
maximum value of the 95 percent confidence
limit be used in selecting design values.
Methods for estimating design organic loading

presented that briefly discusses unit processes
as well as complete systems under develop-

outgrowth from mining practices. A device
called the 'Bowerman Classifier' is presented
and incorporated into a system with potential to
separate preprocessed municipal waste. The
device operates on the principle of Stoke's Law
applied to a moving fluid. All else being held
equal, settling velocity will be proportional to
density and thus a separation may be effected.

Twenty-four playa lakes in Lubbock County.
Texas, were sampled on a routine basis follow-
ing runoff-producing rainfall for a period of ap-
proximately eighteen months to determine
whether or not recharging of water collected in
these lakes might be a hazard to the quality of
water contained in the underlying Ogallala
aquifer. In addition, fifteen lakes lying within a
triangle bounded by Plainview, Canyon, and
Hereford. Texas, were sampled during the
summer of 1969 to provide additional data re-
garding the extent of the potential problem. The
quality of water in High Plains playa lakes was
found to be superior to the quality of water con-
tained in the underlying aquifer in terms of the
amount of dissolved materials. The compound
most commonly found in sediment samples
was Dieldrin, with Aldrin being next most com-
mon, and DDT found in only a few sediment
samples. (Author)

Preliminary testing had indicated that commer-

tubing (HST) developed and used extensively in
the electronics and aerospace industries.
Laboratory studies of such materials and joints
were conducted to determine their charac-

feasibility. A wide variety of HST materials and
joints were tested in addition to conventional
joints for clay, concrete and asbestos-cement
pipes. The results of both small scale tests and
full scale tests using commercial 8-inch sewer
pipe indicated that a polyolefin with a polymeric
base hot melt adhesive produced the most
durable, watertight joints and were significantly
superior in performance compared to existing
pipe joining mechanisms. (Author)

Analysis of exploratory test cores and rock chip
samples has made available information neces-
sary to the development of rational techniques
for reclaiming coal mine spoil for useful pur-
poses. By assigning an area a particular future
use and analyzing the rock structure in advance
of the surface mining, materials can be assem-
bled and placed in the fill to allow the filled strip
mine to revegetate and be developed into a use-
ful area. Oxidation of pyrite materials, source of
most acidity below 4.0 in mine spoils, can be
controlled by: (1) using clay shales for fill; (2)
controlling gain size in the fill; and (3) con-
trolling accessibility to exchange of solutes and
oxygen. In miniature lysimeters filled with 4 ft of
normal, loamy (pH 6.7) soil, no acidity nor iron
drained from the bottom from pyrite buried at 6
depths, from 1 /2 to 36 inches, during a 24 week
test period. Base exchange by the soil neutral-
ized the acid and retained the iron. (Author)

Results of recent activities in river and stream
aeration by artificial techniques are reviewed,
and a rational engineering methodology is
developed for future river and stream aeration
projects The development of the methodology
follows from a thorough review of the oxygen
dynamics in rivers and streams and the capa-
bilities of aeration systems within the present
state of the art. The report shows how the
theoretical work can be simplified considerably
and applied to the solution of river and stream
water quality problems. It is assumed that aera-
tion would only be used as a polishing action.
The results indicate that artificial aeration can
be applied successfully to raise dissolved ox-
ygen to 5 ppm, using mechanical surface aera-
tors, diffusers, downflow contactors, and
sidestream mixing (Author)

The water budget for the city of Laramie,
Wyoming, was calculated for the years 1966-
1970 in order to supplement studies of the city's
sewage lagoons and to estimate the effects of
municipal use on the Laramie River. Usage dur-
ing the summer months (April-September)
varied directly with temperature and inversely
with rainfall, with an average of 235 gpcd. The
river furnished approximately 1/3 of the annual
supply, and more than 1/2 of the summer
supply. On an annual basis, however the city
returned more water to the river than it
withdrew. (Author)

laboratory scale by an electrolytic oxidation
process. Tests of fluidized bed, packed-bed,
and annular flow prototype reacotrs demon-
strated the packed-bed reactor to be most effi-

on a carbon electrode at a mass transport
limited rate, while hydrogen evolution occurs
on a polished 316 stainless steel cathode,
limited by a slower electrochemical kinetic

packed-bed reactor are given. The electrolytic
process is free from both the safely hazards as-

process to electric utility and industrial boiler
facilities for new installations and for the
'retrofit' of existing installations. Specific ob-
jectives were evaluation of the process with
respect to cost, space limitations and opera-

tion, a number of technical difficulties and un-
resolved problems are outlined. The use of the
coal gasification process may offer potential
capital cost savings, compared to existing
methods of sulfur removal in the combustion of
coal, markets for caking-type high sulfur coals
(10,000 BTU/Lb. or less) and a method of
reducing particulate emissions by converting
coal to a cleaner fuel. (Author)

A survey of the literature dealing with inorganic
chemical compounds was conducted to obtain
and reference data relevant to the establish-
ment of water quality criteria. More than 5,000
publications were reviewed. While nearly 300
inorganic species may exist in freshwater only
87 were identified in the literature. A wide dis-
tribution in concentrations in potable and pol-
luted water was found. Data on acute toxiclty.
chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenlcity.
and teratogenicity of inorganic chemicals have
been tabulated. Because of the design of most
of these toxicological determinations, it is dif-
ficult to extrapolate from this data to human
health. Correlations have been made of
minimum lethal oral dose versus maximum
concentrations reported in freshwater, and of
minimum chronic toxic dose versus maximum
concentration reported in drinking water. Ex-
amples of inorganic species which approach a
safety limit have been observed. (Author)

Necessary data are not available in most areas
to determine or predict distributions of storm
water runoff and combined sewage flows and
pollutant concentrations. To alleviate this
problem, a procedure was developed to permit
rapid, economical, and accurate assessments
of system performance based on 3 different and
important water quality criteria. The first
criterion establishes an absolute maximum pol-
lutant concentration which cannot be ex-
ceeded. The second criterion establishes an ac-
ceptable distribution of pollutant concentration
by specifying the greatest frequency of occur-
rence for a particular concentration value. The
third criterion establishes the maximum ac-
ceptable excession frequency for a particular
pollutant frequency. A computer model was
then used with a modified rational runoff
method to perform preliminary design tasks
and weigh alternatives to the designs. Then the
least costly system developed for the Sacra-
mento, California area as an example. (Author)

Sulfur demand, supply and price are projected
to the year 2020. The projections are for use in
establishing R and D priorities for recovery of
abatement sulfur In marketable and non-mar-
ketable forms. The projections are made via a
computer model, and permit estimation of the
value of abatement sulfur at various times dur-
ing the forecast period and for various sources
and/or quantities of sulfur recovered in useful
forms. The model includes the simulation of dif-
ferent abatement schedules and also of addi-
tional demand such as might be created by a
national stockpile of elemental sulfur. The fac-
tors affecting the relative value of sulfur in acid
and elemental form are analyzed. The foreign
situation is also considered because of its im-
pact on domestic supply/demand/price rela-
tionships. The future supply of sulfur will de-
pend increasingly on recovery from fossil fuels.

tion source-sampling equipment. This
procedure has been used satisfactorily and is
presented as a guide to assist interested per-
sonnel in using the equipment. The sampling
train has four major components: The pitobe
assembly, which includes the probel nozzle, a
heated glass probe, and a pilot tube for moni-
toring gas velocity during sampling; The meter
box assembly, which consists of a system of
manometers, an orifice meter, a vacuum pump,
a dry gas meter, and electrical controls for sam-
pling; The sample box assembly, which con-
tains the glassware; and The umbilical cord,
which connects the sample box with the meter
box. The maintenance and calibration
procedure described for each of the com-
ponents should be followed in the shop or

Control of sulfur dioxide emission from a coal-

venturi-type scrubber in series with a wetted
film packed tower was studied in a one-
thousand cfm pilot system. Sulfur dioxide ab-
sorption characteristics were studied in detail
with three types of afkali materials, calcium
oxide, sodium carbonate and calcium car-
bonate. Sulfates lime/fly ash and dolomitic lime
were also tested and their absorption proper-
ties were compared to the calcium oxide
results. The primary objectives were the
development of design data for predicting sul-
fur dioxide absorption in a venturi scrubber
with limestone-injection wet scrubbing and a
combination of a venturi scrubber and packed
tower with direct lime/limestone wet scrubbing.
A simplified method for expressing the SO2 ab-
sorption was developed with standard linear
correlation techniques. Process parameters
relevant to the type of absorption device were
studied so that the S02 absorption efficiency
could be estimated for similar operating
systems. (Author)

The performance of seven commercial moni-
tors for applicability to the continuous deter-
mination of nitrogen oxides from stationary
sources was evaluated. Based on the present
and projected requirements in stationary
source emissions monitoring, the ranking, utili-
ty factors and ranges of performance were first
established for each of fifteen performance
parameters. These desired instrument parame-
ters formed matrix against which the quantified
performance values as measured in the labora-
tory and on an operating power plant flue gas
composition could be compared The com-
parison of the evaluation data on each per-
formance parameter with the desired per-
formance matrix resulted in an estimate of
overall performance of the tested nitrogen
oxide monitors. This overall performance is cal-
culated in the form of an 'index of performance'
for each instrument. (Author)

A process has been developed for the simul-
taneous removal of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
oxides from power plant flue gas at normal
stack gas effluent temperatures. Sulfur dioxide
removal is accomplished by oxidation with
nitrogen dioxide followed by absorption of the
resulting sulfuric acid and the oxides of
nitrogen in a recycle stream of sulfuric acid.
The acid is stripped of its nitrogen oxide con-
tent. The nitrogen oxides are reoxidized with
the excess nitrogen dioxide being converted to
nitric acid and the bulk of the oxide recycled for
further sulfur dioxide oxidation. Thus the
nitrogen dioxide acts as a reactive catalyst. A
high temperature isothermal scrubber permits
the scrubber to recover the sulfuric acid and
the oxides of nitrogen without absorbing any
diluent water (which would require heat to
remove), and a catalytic stripper which rapidly
oxidizes the oxides of nitrogen in the liquid
phase. Activated charcoal was used as the
catalyst to oxidize the NOx. In addition, kinetic
studies of the sulfur dioxide oxidation reaction
with nitrogen dioxide were conducted. A
preliminary economic analysis based on an 800
megawatt power plant, producing 1.44 million
standard cubic feet per minute of flue gas was
made. (Author)

Research was conducted on experimental
feedlots in Lubbock, Texas, to determine the
characteristics of wastes from Southwestern
cattle feedlots. The feediots were generally
operated in a manner conforming to normal
commercial practice in the area. They were pro-
vided with collection pits that allowed the quan-
tity of runoff to be measured accurately. Sam-
ples of runoff were collected routinely both dur-
ing rainstorms and from the collection pits.
Manure samples were also collected routinely
for analysis. The quantity of runoff per unit area
of concrete-surfaced lots is substantially
greater than the quantity per unit area of dirt-
surfaced lots. Concentrations of pollutants in
concrete-lot runoff are substantially higher
than corresponding concentrations in runoff
from dirt-surfaced lots. Agronomic studies in-
dicate that runoff can be used for irrigation of
crops, but extreme caution is required in the
application of runoff to crops to prevent
damage to them. (Author)

The report examines the future supply and de-

residual oil (resid, No. 6, or 'Bunker C') was the
most difficult to study. The currently available
predictions on the supply and demand for elec-
tricity and fuels were collected and studied.
Construction plans of the utilities were ob-
tained. Data on United Stales and foreign
production of residual oil were gathered includ-
ing the availability of low sulfur fuel. Total de-
mand for residual fuel was predicted along with
the demand for low sulfur fuels. The potential
supply of low sulfur fuels was predicted. The ef-
fects that import regulations have on this
supply was studied. The costs of direct desul-
furization of resid were estimated along with
the costs of oil transportation. The supply and
demand quantities for residual oil were com-
pared for the 1970-1980 time period and con-
clusions were drawn as to what steps must be
taken to satisfy the 1980 demand for low sulfur
fuels. (Author)

An investigation was made of the feasibility of
controlling exhaust emissions through a pro-
gram of mandatory vehicle inspection and
maintenance. Exhaust emission quantities, i.e.,
levels and reductions, were estimated based on
a constant volume sampling (CVS) procedure.
The most cost-effective inspection interval is
approximately yearly regardless of the inspec-
tion/maintenance procedures applied. Inspec-
tion procedures performed in a state lane using
the measurement of emission levels under load
are generally more cost-effective than those
performed in franchised garages using conven-
tional diagnostic instruments, but produce
smaller emission reductions. A statistical analy-
sis of the emission reductions for the baseline
and test fleets has revealed that the predicted
differences in mean emission levels is signifi-
cant at greater than the 90 percent level of con-
fidence. Emission reductions are most sensitive
to the inspection approach used to reject vehi-
cles and to the extent of the imposed main-
tenance. (Author)

The fuel properties of refuse and the mechanics
and combustion technology associated with
the utilization of refuse as a fuel in generating
utility grade steam were systematically as-
sessed. By estimating the inventories and com-
positions of refuse that would likely occur, the
extent of SO2-abatement that might be realized
in using refuse as a partial coal substitute was
projected through the year 2000. Ten different
combined-fuel (coal ^refuse) fired boiler con-
figurations were conceived and then analyzed
in terms of process variables (plant power
capacity, fuel-ratio, etc.); performance/cost
characteristics were also predicted. Similarly
treated were five plans for modifying existing
plants to refuse-burning systems. At least one
of the systems within the first group was
identified as being a more cost-effective ap-
proach to refuse disposal than is landfill. The
cost model was developed to consider all the
major elements involved in the erection and
operation of the candidate refuse-burning
systems. Two new-plant configurations were
extracted and subjected to detailed engineer-
ing analysis. Cost estimates were iteratively
computed for the resulting preliminary designs.

The objective was to develop a generalized
computer model of a Rankine-cycle automotive
propulsion system to be used for the analysis of
propulsion system dynamics. Digital computer
models were developed for the following
propulsion system components: working fluid-
water and organic; combustor; vapor genera-
tor; expander—reciprocating and turbine; con-
denser; regenerator; feedpump; and controls.
Other vehicle system models which were
developed to permit analysis of engine dynam-
ics during realistic driving transients include:
transmission; vehicle motion; route mission
profiles;, and driver. A module-linkage ap-
proach was employed. Linkage of the informa-
tion signals forms a total system model which
can be employed for transient analysis of the
entire propulsion system. The derivation of the
models and their application to specific designs
are included. Steady-state and transient results
are presented.

A detailed review of the nuclear segment of the
power industry and an evaluation of the ways in
which nuclear power will impact on national air
quality and emissions from fossil-fueled steam
electric plants are presented. Electrical power
from nuclear-fueled reactors will continue to
grow at a substantial rate and will ultimately
supply a major portion of electrical power in the
United States. The development and use of
nuclear plants will directly affect the use of fos-
sil fuels to supply electrical power and will also
directly affect the amounts of combustion
products released to the environment. The
forecast of future power supplied by nuclear
reactors has been shown by optimization analy-
sis to be strongly dependent upon the reactor
types and their technological development.
Fossil-fueled generating plants will continue to
produce power at levels equal to o r greater than
1970 levels for the next 60 years. (Author)

light of historical usage and availability. The
goal was to ascertain not only near term but ex-
tended demands. Projections were made out
through the year 2000. Such alternates as coal
and oil shale gasification, Liquid Natural Gas
(LNG), and well stimulation were evaluated. It
represents a very clean fuel and, as a result, a
fuel which can become an important control in

A model which will provide a tool in evaluating
advanced low-emission automotive power
systems, and a basis for decisions relating to
further development of candidate power
systems is presented. The technique is quan-
titative and readily adaptable to the stage of a
candidate's development. It relies primarily on
engineering measurements and provides con-
sistent repeatable results. It allows the use of
expert value judgments as a valid part of the
evaluation process. The parameters which,
when measured, will provide the information
needed to describe and adequately evaluate the
candidate are listed, and the measurement
scales and the rationale for the parameter
selection are provided.. The cost and economic
factors critical to the evaluation of candidates
are discussed. The analytical formulation of the
model is addressed. Also included are value

the PICK method and the demonstration of the
method in the solution of evaluation test cases
and actual air pollution problems. Test cases
for the evaluation of feasibility and accuracy
and for comparison to finite difference solu-
tions were conducted with a two-dimensional
computer code PICFIC. For actual air pollution
studies, the PICK method was used in the three

The thesis was that economies of scale both in
purchase and in financing costs might be
available to the grey iron foundries for air pollu-
tion control equipment, thereby lessening the
financial impact in complying with air pollution
regulations. This group buying-financing
management technique was not known to have
been applied to procurement and financing of
air pollution abatement devices in any industry.
The salient attributes of such an organization
were surveyed. The various regulations in the
geographical area of concern were examined to
establish a tentative grouping of foundries by
degree of control needed. Foundry operating
procedures and cupola design factors that
could affect cupola emissions were evaluated.
Performance-cost tradeoff factors were stu-
died, including a possible process change.
Quotations were obtained for reverberatory fur-
nace process replacement, and for a venturi
scrubber as a function of quantity. Various
financing alternatives were explored.

The research objective was to design instru-

characterizing flame turbulence and tempera-
ture gradient for several burner configurations.
In this way, it may be possible to relate basic
flame characteristics to the generation of emis-
sions, particularly NO which is formed and fixed
in the primary combustion zone. The feasibility
of recording fog-free holographic interfera-
grams of residential fuel fired oil burner flames
was demonstrated with two holocameras
designed to observe the near and far field of the
burner. The most important feature observed
interferometrically was that the flame structure
is extremely turbulent. This turbulence made it
impossible to resolve the fringe pattern on the
centerline of the burner. Barewire thermocou-
ple measurements made of the flame were cor-
rected for radiation. Excellent quality holo-
graphic interferograms were recorded of a
small burner (Bernzomatic burner). Recording
a holographic interferogram of a hot air gun
showed the feasibility of controlling the turbu-
lence level of a flame-like hot gas. Preliminary
data were also reduced in this case. (Author)

The case is outlined for integrating land-use
planning and regulation with environmental
protection. The document indicates some of
the legal, institutional, organizational, and
technical aspects of this approach to the
preservation of environmental quality. There is
a growing recognition of the need to subject
public and private decisions regarding land use
to a much closer scrutiny with regard to their
environmental implications. An array of evalua-
tive techniques now used either for land-use
planning or for environmental planning may be
of potential use in formulating environmental
land use policies. If land use guidance and en-
vironmental protection objectives are to be in-
tegrated, programs for merging the procedures
and practices of groups involved in these func-

Ozone and total oxidant in ambient air were
measured simultaneously for a two month
period in Philadelphia and a similar period in
Denver. Colorado. Ozone was measured by the
chemiluminescent technique and total oxidant
by both colorimetric and coulometric
techniques. The object was to compare these
methods. The ozone and total oxidant instru-
ments were calibrated by a constant ozone
source (standardized by the neutral Kl analyti-
cal technique) at the beginning and end of each
experimental period. The chemiluminescent in-
strument operated satisfactorily more than 97%
of the time, but the colorimetric total oxidant in-
struments operated satisfactorily less than 50%
of the time. It is thus not possible to calculate
ozone concentrations in urban air from mea-
sured total oxidant concentrations with any
degree of confidence. The chemiluminescent
ozone measurement is more specific and less
subject to interference than the colorimetric or
coulometric 'total oxidant' measurement.

The objective was to recommend optimal
procedures for conducting an automobile ex-
haust emissions field surveillance program. The
primary objective of this field surveillance pro-
gram is to characterize vehicular emissions to
the atmosphere for specific regions within the
United States. Alternatively, the data may be
used to evaluate regional differences in vehicu-
lar emissions such as might occur because of
different vehicle maintenance policies. General
surveillance program guidelines were
developed but were not amenable to mathe-
matical modeling because of complexity and/or
lack of definitive data. Specific procedures and
equipment configurations were optimized
using the surveillance system model. (Author)

development of effective controls on the quality
of irrigation return flows. Program goals and
milestones are outlined. A number of potential
control measures are discussed. Improvements
in the water delivery system, on-tho-farm water
management, and the water removal system are
considered with respect to improving the quali-
ty of irrigation return flows and decreasing the
degradation of receiving waters. Research and
investigations are needed to evaluate the effec-
tiveness of potential control measures. Demon-
strations and educational activities will be
required to overcome institutional, political,

A rainfall simulator was utilized to determine
the effects of 2-, 10-, and 20-year storm
frequencies on losses of water, soil and
nutrients from plots subjected to different crop
rotations, fertilizer schemes and manure appli-
cations. Crop rotations, rates of fertilizer and
manure were compared. Simulations were
made on freshly tilled soil. Comparative erosion
losses were as follows: continuous sod - corn -
alfalfa rotations continuous corn. Fertilizer
alone tended to increase runoff, but this effect
was overcome when fertilizer was used with
manure. Continuous recording of surface and
subsurface flow and subsequent losses of
nutrients to the environment was conducted on
larger plots. Rate and time of fertilization deter-
mined the plant nutrients lost. Returning crop
residues to the soil improved water infiltration,
increasing deep seepage losses. Phosphorous
inputs into cultural media as it related to algal
growth was studied. Sustained concentration
determined the biomass of phosphorous.

A project to demonstrate the feasibility and
safety of recycling water under operating con-
ditions was performed in the Hemet-San Jacin-
to Valley of the State of California. It was felt
that recycling of the water would ultimately lead
to a reduction in the salt input and resultant
degradation of the existing underground reser-
voir. Extensive geological investigations in-
dicated that the basin was not homogeneous in
nature but had clay lenses and faulting which
interfered with the creation of a classic mound.
Partially as a consequence, the recharge of
5,380 acre feet of wastewater during this six
and one-half year period had no effect on sur-
rounding water wells. The project added con-
siderable knowledge and experience to the
technology of Intermittent wastewater percola-
tion and associated monitoring techniques. A
novel feature of the project was the employ-
ment of highly sensitive temperature probes to
trace the lateral migration of the recharged
water. (Author)

A small Florida lake has been receiving a

mg/cu m-yr N and 43 mg/cu m-yr P since 1967.
Data has been accumulated through 1969. The
effect on the lacustrine ecosystem of various
biogenes includes production by primary
producers, species diversity of plankton and
certain production estimates at the secondary
trophic level using natural populations of
planktivorous fish. Related studies on 53 other
regional lakes have been done using a multi-
dimensional hybrid concept as defined by
several trophic state indicators. This trophic
state index has provided a means for ranking
the lakes on an arbitrary scale. Land use pat-
terns and population characteristics were
determined photographically and N and P
budgets estimated. Several significant relation-
ships were found between lake trophic state,
lake basin, land use, and population charac-
teristics. (Author)

water is returned to the lake. To assess the dis-
tributional responses of fish to the operation of
the power plant, the outfall area and two
reference areas were electro-fished thirty times
over a one-year period. Some fishes found in
the reference areas avoided the outfall area.
whereas other fishes were at higher concentra-
tion in the outfall area relative to the reference
sites. Integrated laboratory studies on six spe-
cies and field results suggest that fishes were
distributed within the outfall area according to
their different temperature preferenda. (Author)

The feasibility of wastewater demineralization
by ion exchange procedures was successfully
demonstrated by pilot plant studies conducted
on sewage effluent from an activated sludge
treatment plant. A pretreatment unit consisting
of lime clarification, dual media filtration, and
granular activated carbon filtration was
operated in series with the ion exchange
system. Phosphate reductions were achieved
by lime clarification at pH 10.0, but identical
reductions were achieved by ion exchange
alone. In addition ion exchange treatment
without lime was cheaper. Ion exchange
processes using strong acid cation exchange
resin and weak base anion exchange resin can
be readily applied to wastewater demineraliza-
tion. Design of treatment plants for such a
process applied to wastewater containing as
much as 500 mg/l of ionizable solids can use
established design parameters. Disposal of
sludges and saline liquids must be considered.

A review of published literature and field
evaluations revealed the presence of over 3500
waste treatment lagoons currently in operation
in the United States. The three types of lagoons
in use include: Oxidation lagoons; Aerated
lagoons: and Anaerobic lagoons. Oxidation
lagoons depend upon algae to supply oxygen
by photosynthesis and degrade the waste
products. Effluent quality is determined by the
quantity of algae in the effluent and several
methods of algae removal are currently under
investigation. Aerated lagoons may be merely
oxidation ponds with supplemental aeration,
partially mixed activated sludge (facultative
aerated) or complete mix activated sludge
(CMAS) systems. Anaerobic lagoons can pro-
vide up to 80% BOD removals, but must be fol-
lowed by some type of aerobic treatment to
produce a high quality effluent. The review has
demonstrated that lagoons do have applicabili-
ty to the total waste treatment problem.

Laboratory investigations into the use of mag-
nesium carbonate instead of alum for coagula-
tion have demonstrated that the magnesium
carbonate system produces a treated water
with superior characteristics compared to
water treated with alum. Both turbidity and or-
ganic color removals were comparable for both
processes, and the floes formed by the mag-
nesium carbonate process were larger and
heavier than alum floes with better settling
characteristics. The process involves the use of
the magnesium carbonate as a coagulant and
lime is added to precipitate gelatinous
Mg(OH)2. The sludge, composed of a slurry of
Mg(OH)2, CaC03, and clay is carbonated and
the Mg(OH)2 selectively and completely dis-
solved. Recycle after filtering allows re-use of
both the magnesium carbonate and the sludge
water. CaC03 can also be recovered easily in
large plants or landfilled at small ones. Chemi-
cal treatment costs for most waters can be sub-
stantially reduced using this system, while the
quality of treated water will be superior to the
quality of alum-treated water. (Author)

Of a number of methods available for
phosphate removal from waste water, chemical
precipitation (often called coagulation) using
aluminum, ferric iron, ferrous iron and lime is
considered to be the most economical. The ob-
jective of the present study has been two-fold:
To evaluate the effects of pH and reactant con-
centration on the rate and efficiency of
phosphate removal from synthetic and secon-
dary effluent wastewaters and on the nature of
the precipitates formed: and to compare the
data on the Fe(ll)-phosphate precipitation
system with the available data for Fe(lll)- and
Al(lll)-phosphate systems. Most of the experi-
ments in the study were conducted on pure
orthophosphate solutions and in the absence of
dissolved oxygen. Only a limited number of
tests were made of the use of ferrous iron for
orthophosphate removal from wastewaters
containing dissolved oxygen. (Author)

It has been estimated that the approximately
1800 plants in the canned and frozen fruits and
vegetables industry in the U.S. annually utilize
26 million tons of raw product, discharge 83 bil-
lion gallons of wastewater, generate 800 million
pounds of BOD and 392 million pounds of
suspended solids, and produce 8 million tons of
solid residuals. Flow diagrams are presented
for peaches, peas, corn, beets, and tomato
products, and proportions of the total liquid
waste flow, BOD, and SS from each of 5 or 6
processing steps for 15 commodities are esti-
mated. Several conventional waste treatment
methods are presented, along with their poten-
tial application to the food processing industry.
Liquid waste treatment and/or discharge costs
for a synthetic average plant in the industry are
estimated including annual capital and opera-
tion and maintenance costs. Seven hundred

emission standards were investigated. The
development of the inspection/maintenance
(I/M) economic effectiveness model and the
study results are described. A literature survey
was made and direct discussions were held
with automobile manufacturers and automobile
associations to acquire applicable cost and
operational data and to identify candidate in-
spection/maintenance procedures. Statistical
evaluations of acquired data were performed to
develop models of inspection procedures,
maintenance effectiveness and deterioration
and capital costs. An internally consistent
system model was constructed using both con-
tract developed and acquired data to evaluate
the economic effectiveness of four candidate

The problem of effectively managing air quality
within the framework of current legislation on a
regional basis Is extensive and complex. The
need to evaluate and improve control strategies
already adopted or to identify new approaches
must be considered on this basis. By effectively
coordinating efforts on a number of interrelated
problems, a combination of resources can be
brought to bear on the problems of air quality
management. It is the purpose of the Prospec-
tus to identify the separate elements constitut-
ing such an undertaking and to describe how it
can be carried out. In the report the major con-
cept of RAPS (Regional air pollution study) is
presented, with an outline description of the
Research Plan, the Facility, and the Manage-

The purpose was to assess the practicality of a
transmission for use in a heat engine/flywheel
propulsion system to reduce emissions. The
system was to be suitable for incorporation into
a full size 'family car' automobile. The different
possible link types (mechanical, hydrostatic,
and hydromechanical) between the engine,
flywheel, and vehicle wheels were analyzed.
Many transmission schematics were in-
vestigated, and several combinations were
selected for further evaluation resulting in the
final recommended configuration. Controls
were selected and analyzed using a digital
dynamic simulation computer program and an
analog computer simulation. System per-
formance, stability and driveability were
deterined. Cost estimates were made for the
selected configuration using comparative data,
vendor quotations and in-house estimates.
Comparisons with a conventional three speed
automatic transmission were made. A
hydromechanical transmission configuration
with interdependent links between the flywheel,
engine, and wheels was the resultant selection.
The flywheel/transmission was configured for a
tran-axle installation, which was considered
optimum. (Author)

The mechanisms of formation and maintenance
of the characteristic thermal structure of deep.
temperate lakes were investigated along with
the effects on that thermal structure of heat
discharges from electric generating plants.
Thermoclines develop because of nonlinear in-
teraction between surface turbulence and
buoyancy gradients from surface heating. A
theoretical model including the interaction of
those factors predicts the observed features of
stratification accurately. Thermal discharges
increase the temperature to a different degree
at different levels of the entire lake. Discharges
also increase the depth of the thermocline and
lengthen the stratification period. An explorato-
ry experimental study is described on the na-
ture of the interfacial mixing between a flowing
layer of warm water and an underlying cooler
pool of water. (Author)

A method that does not assume saturated air at

ing towers and the principles of operation are
considered. Simplified differential equations
for the heat and mass transfer relations and the
methods of integrating them for both counter-
flow and crossflow towers are given. A large
number of integration steps is unnecessary.
Equations for estimating the pressure losses in
the tower are also given. Simplified flow charts
using these integration schemes show how the
computer program is used to evaluate tower
performance. The computed performance of
towers of various heights operating in moist

The prediction of temperature within the region
dominated by turbulence from a heated
discharge was investigated. A three-dimen-
sional theory is developed, based on a turbulent
jet model and including density gradients and
surface heat loss. Of interest in formulating the
theory is the dependence of the temperature
distribution in the receiving water on the tem-
perature difference between discharge and am-
bient water, the initial discharge velocity, the
channel geometry, the bottom slope, the am-
bient cross flow, and surface heat transfer. Ex-
periments were performed in a laboratory basin
in which all of the relevant parameters, includ-
ing cross flow and bottom slope, are varied and
temperatures are measured in the heated
discharge. The experiments verify the theoreti-
cal predictions.

A laboratory scale oil-water coalescer bed was
formed from standard, phenol formaldehyde
coated fiber glass, consisting of 3 layers. The
bed was then compressed between screens to
an overall thickness of 1/4 inch, giving an ap-
parent overall density to the working membrane
of 10.8 Ib/cu ft. By testing the cell on a synthetic
oil dispersion and an actual pollutant stream, a
100% coalescence efficiency at a 7.5 gpm flow
rate over the entire run time was established.
Stabilization of fibers to mechanical degrada-
tion was accomplished by coating the com-
pressed fibers with isobutyl methacrylate resin.
This medium, showing the same coalescence
efficiency and pressure drop characteristics for
the original medium, was regenerable by sol-
vent treatment. Operating costs based on single
use of fibers were estimated.

The research was to model the geometry and
flow conditions of the Shawnee Unit 10 Boiler
during the dry limestone injection process. The
basic goal was to determine the penetration
and dispersion characteristics of the limestone
injection. A cold-gas model was selected with a
geometric scale factor of 12.5 to 1. The com-
bustion gases and the solid-gas injection flow
conditions in the boiler were simulated by
keeping the values of the relevant dimension-
less parameters for the model as close as possi-
ble to those of the full scale Shawnee unit. The
degree of dispersion of the limestone was
characterized by a percent coverage value
which in effect is the fraction of complete mix-
ing of the limestone and SO2. Percent coverage
values were calculated for the Shawnee boiler
for each of the three injection levels. The same
was done for the model at one turbulence level
and then additional tests were conducted at a
fixed injection level under various turbulence
conditions.

The purpose was to develop an electrochemical

maldehyde in the midst of all of the other gas
species present in the exhaust stream of inter-
nal combustion engines. The current generated
by this device would be amplified and displayed
in a manner which would permit quantitative
analysis of the formaldehyde concentration.
The sensor which was developed was not as
selective as proposed. However, its lack of
selectivity applies only to members of the al-
dehyde family. It is equally sensitive to all al-
dehydes. The problem of evaluating the sen-
sor's performance necessitated the completion
of two other significant achievements: produc-
tion of a reliable formaldehyde standard in the
1ppm concentration range: and development of
a wet method of analysis which would give ac-
curate yet fairly rapid measurements at this low
level of pollutant.

The objective of the research was to develop a
remote sensing tool for the evaluation of
dispersion of wastes from existing or proposed
ocean outfalls. Photogrammetric and photo in-
terpretation methods were used to determine
dispersion patterns, diffusion coefficients,
waste concentrations and nearshore currents.
The study is unique in that the aerial photog-
raphy is not only used to determine the position
of points and the size of objects as in normal
photogrammetry, but the photograph is also
used as an energy sensor. Procedures were
developed using dye drops from an airplane.
The water current velocity was found to be the
dominant factor in the resulting plume pattern.
Characteristic airphoto pattern elements are
given for visual interpretation of the photog-

A full-scale, complete mixed activated sludge
treatment system effectively treats concen-

BOD reduction capability of 99 percent: but it
produces 0.5 to 0.6 pounds of waste sludge per
pound of influent BOD. The efficiency was
reduced by periodic foaming and solids car-
ryover in the effluent caused by the
unscheduled discharge of orange oil and peel
press liquor to the treatment plant. Controlling
the addition of nitrogen and phosphorus to the
influent of the nutrient deficient wastewater ef-
fectively controlled effluent nitrogen and

mixed with citrus peel and processed as a cattle
feed additive in the existing facilities. The waste
activated sludge represented approximately 1.5
percent of the total cattle feed production on a
dry weight basis. Treatment plant effluent was
reused for barometric leg and cooling water
and was then discharged. (Author) Costs are

painted plywood and black felt. These tests in-
dicated an error which increased as target
reflectance increased. In general, the lidar and
telephotometer determined transmittance
values agreed within the accuracy expected for
a given plume transmittance as indicated by the
synthetic target test results. Plume-to-sky con-
trast (plume visibility) was found to have no cor-
relation with plume transmittance because of
the variability of ambient illumination of the
plume.

The research goal was to determine the useful-
ness of the fluidised combustion system in
reducing the emission of sulfur and nitrogen
oxides, and particulates from the combustion
of coal. The following work is described: Ex-
periments on a number of pilot-scale com-
bustors to measure the effect on emission of a
selected range of process conditions, e.g. coal
type, additive (limestone/dolomite) to retain
sulfur, combustion conditions, plant scale, and
design features; Experiments on selected pilot-
scale combustors to assess the extent to which
the addition of limestone or dolomite to coal in
a fluidised bed influences corrosion; Laborato-
ry scale experiments to characterise the coals
and additives used; and Development of a
mathematical model to assist in correlating the
factors influencing the pollution control
characteristics of a fluidised combustion
system.

Predictions of the complex annual cycle of tem-
perature changes in a lake or reservoir are
necessary if proper water quality control is to
be achieved. Many lakes and reservoirs exhibit
horizontal homogeneity and thus a time-depen-
dent, one-dimensional model describing the
temperature variation in the vertical direction is
adequate. A discretized mathematical model
was developed based on the absorption and
transmission of solar radiation, convection due
to surface cooling and advection due to inflows
and outflows. The model contains provision for
simultaneous or intermittent withdrawal from
multi-level outlets and time of travel for inflows
within the reservoir. (Author)

The River Basin Model is a man-machine simu-

taking place, within a real or hypothetical area,
between the local water system and the
economic, social, and governmental activities
of that area: it is a model of an entire regional
system, with water a subsystem realistically in-
teracting with all the other major subsystems,
such as transportation and housing. A gaming
format is employed, and Model users provide
inputs to the computer programs which simu-
late the major processes. The functions of the
computer are presented, and the computer
printed output is described in detail. The com-
puter stores and updates all relevant statistics
for the area, simulates the actions of the out-
side systems (such as a national business
cycle), and performs certain routine, otherwise
time-consuming processes (such as calculating
a comprehensive water quality index). (Author)

Two Michigan lakes, eutrophic Lake Hemlock
and oligotrophic Section Four Lake, were artifi-
cially aerated by compressed air from mid-June
to September. Only the hypolimnion of the
eutrophic lake was aerated which resulted in in-
creased oxygen concentration from 0.1 mg/l to
over 10.0 mg/l while thermal stratification was
maintained. Zooplankton, zoobenthos, and fish
distributed throughout the lake after aeration.
Midges emerged from the deepest point. Aera-
tion apparently reduced nutrient anaerobic
regeneration but increased nutrient regenera-
tion through aerobic decomposition of profun-
dal sediments. Artificial destratificalion of the
oligotrophic lake greatly increased the
minimum temperature budget. No appreciable
winterkill occurred and many trout overwin-
tered without any known ill effects.

Bioassays for nutrient availability were evalu-
ated to define conditions and limits under
which each method can give meaningful
results. The biological availability of algal
nutrients in a water sample and the algal
response to changes in the growth-limiting
nutrient were measured. Factors other than in-
solubility prevent the nitrogen or phosphorus of
certain samples of aerobic lake muds from
being readily available for algal growth. The
facts, that live algae and aquatic weeds do not
share their adequate or surplus nutrients with
nutrient-limited algae and that lake muds do
not provide readily available nitrogen or
phosphorus, indicate that once lake waters are
stripped of available nutrients by plant produc-
tion, further plant production will depend upon
nutrients from continuous sources, such as
wastewater effluents. Phosphorus-starved cells
of Anabaena rapidly increase their capacity to
reduce acetylene to ethylene when they receive
phosphorus. This response may be used as a
bioassay for detecting available phosphorus in
aquatic ecosystems. (Author)

The Southern California coastal sewage out-

upon standing stocks of phytoplankton, and on

assimilation of ammonium, nitrate, and urea
were determined at the outfall sites using N-15
labeled substrates. Laboratory studies in-
vestigated the utilization of various forms of
nitrogen by phytoplankton. mechanisms and
rates of nitrogen assimilation, and enzymes of
nitrogen assimilation. It was found that the
maximum growth rate was a variable, while the
saturation constant was uniform over a range of
dilution rates of N-limited chemostat cultures.
The chemical composition of phytoplankton
varied with dilution rate in reproducible ways.
By varying the dilution rate of such cultures one
seems to regulate the degree of nitrogen-defi-
ciency of the phytoplankton.

Following passage of legislation authorizing
the levying of pollution charges against certain
waste dischargers, Vermont's Department of
Natural Resources considered several effluent
charge systems. These systems included a
charge based upon stream damages, a uniform
charge to all polluters, a uniform charge
weighted by stream classification or zone, a
charge based upon dilution factors or popula-
tion equivalents, a charge based upon stream
quality degradation, and a charge based on the
annualized cost of treatment. For each of these
systems, the issues of incentive effects on
dischargers, relation of dischargers to instream
economic damages, equity, constitutionality,
economic efficiency, technical and administra-
tive feasibility, and income potential are
discussed in the context of Vermont law and
administrative procedures. The annualized
cost-of-treatment charge method, which was
chosen by Vermont, receives the most detailed
consideration. The administrative efforts are
also discussed. (Author)

system records, monitors, summarizes agency
actions in the enforcement and surveillance
area. It provides staff members with schedules
of planned future actions and summaries of
emission source oriented data. The system is
available in three versions, tailored to agencies
of different resource levels. Two of the levels
are computerized and provide automatic moni-
toring of operational activities.

The book covers biological problems of the
freshwater environment. The nature of the
problems, the importance of surface water
resources, the threats of pollution damage from
progressive expansion in population and indus-
trialization are discussed. An extraordinary
value prevails for water resources as a recrea-
tion medium in addition to the vital domestic
water supply and industrial supply functions.
The procedures utilized to survey various water
bodies and evaluate their changes with pollu-
tion stresses are cited in considerable detail.
The aquatic environment receives human
wastes and thereby becomes a potential medi-
um for spread of infectious diseases. The in-
dicator organism studies used for evaluation of
this problem is covered. A great variety of illus-
trations, references and tabulated data are pro-
vided.

In the wet-limestone process for the removal of
sulfur dioxide from power-plant stack gases,
the gases are scrubbed with an aqueous
suspension of finely ground limestone and the
dissolution of the limestone is the rate-limiting
step. An organic acid could be added to the
system to accelerate the dissolution of the
limestone and thereby increase the scrubber ef-
ficiency. The rate of dissolution can be in-
creased by adding an acid that is stronger than
carbonic acid and weaker than sulfurous acid.
In a search for a suitable additive, measure-
ments were made of the solubility of calcium
and magnesium carbonates in solutions of 27
weak organic acids that were selected on the
basis of their low cost and availability from a
large number of acids that meet the primary
requirements. From these results, four acids—
benzoic, phthalic, adipic, and glycplic-were
chosen for further study of their physicochemi-
cal properties that would affect their potential
usefulness in a scrubber system.

by a flameless atomic absorption mercury
procedure was utilized. The collection
procedure consists of modifying a standard

modified impingers containing 10 grams of
gold chips to collect the mercury vapor as an
amalgam. Particulates containing mercury are
collected on a fiber glass filter upstream of the
gold amalgam. The analytical procedure con-

lluidized bed operating at 1500F to 1600F and
with about 3% residual oxygen in the flue gas.
However, with 3% residual oxygen in the flue
gas, an economically unacceptable fraction of
the input coal's fuel value would be lost as car-
bon in the flyash that is blown out of the fur-
nace. A comprehensive search for methods to
reduce the loss of fuel, which ranged as high as
15%, led to the invention of the Carbon-Burnup
Cell. The Carbon-Burnup Cell is a region of a
fluidized bed boiler in which the fuel is the car-
bon bearing flyash carried out of the adjacent
coal burning regions of'the boiler. The report
describes an effort to produce design criteria
for an effective Carbon-Burnup Cell. The ex-
perimental work was conducted in two different
test rigs. The more basic work, that which led to
a statistically derived performance model, was
done in a separate column which depends on
an external source for its fuel supply. The
second set of tests was performed in an actual
fluidized-bed boiler, generating the flyash
which is then immediately burned in its own in-
ternal flyash fired section, the prototype Car-
bon-Burnup Cell. The work in the boiler led to
engineering insights on the design require-
ments for a commercial fluidized-bed boiler
which included a Carbon-Burnup Cell. A per-

The economic and technical feasibility were
studied of the adaptation of the CO2 Acceptor
Process to the problem of producing low-sul-
fur, low-Btu power plant fuel by the gasification
of bituminous coals. Combustion of fuel gas
makes possible a drastic reduction in NO(x)
emissions. Atmospheric versus pressure opera-
tion of the gasifier were compared for the ob-
jective of preparing low-sulfur boiler fuel gas
for an existing boiler. Capital and operating
costs were estimated for two conceptual varia-
tions of the COS Acceptor Process. Pretreat-
ment studies were also conducted. The main
reactor was used initially to study continuous
preoxidation. Two coals were used which
represent the extremes in caking properties.
The experimental gasifier was operated at con-
ditions simulating the full range of conditions in
an envisioned furl-scale unit. A limited amount
of data were obtained from the gasification
tests and in the demonstration run on the
question of gasification kinetics. The sulfur
recovery is also thoroughly discussed.

The quality of the water in the Glorieta Forma-

tain data which would be used in evaluating the
potential of the formation as a water source or
for brine disposal. The water in the formation is
high in dissolved solids and would have to be
either desalted or mixed with a high proportion
of good-quality water before the water could be
used for such purposes as irrigation or mu-
nicipal supply. The Glorieta Formation is com-
posed of very fine unconsolidated sand.
Completion and pumping of water wells in the
formation would be difficult and considerably

A symposia was held to discuss tunneling in
hard rock, deep below ground surfaces. The
goals were to: describe tunneling experiences
in Chicago, western United States, Canada, and
Europe; discuss some of the multiple-use
aspects of deep tunnels; assess the future of
rapid excavation in hard rock using mining
machines; and encourage those facing com-
bined sewer and flooding problems to assess
the potential use of tunnels. The flooding and
combined-sewer overflow problem is
discussed, as are the investigations and plans
of the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater
Chicago for constructing a deep tunnel system
to alleviate flooding and pollution from com-
bined-sewer overflows. The potential of
pumped-stprage hydroelectric power genera-
tion and circulation of condenser water from
underground nuclear generating plants, in con-
junction with tunnel construction, is treated.
Experiences with mechanical moles in the
United States and other countries in boring
through hard rock are described. Suggestions
are given concerning pre-construction in-
vestigations, planning and design that can
minimize field problems, expedite tunneling
procedures, and reduce tunneling costs. Vari-
ous viewpoints are presented. (Author)

Recent results are presented in the continuing
investigation of S02 washout by precipitation
from plumes of large, coal-fired power plants.
The research consisted of three phases: a
washout modeling effort, a laboratory in-
vestigation of solubility and mass-transfer
behavior in the SO2/water system, and an ex-
perimental field program. The modeling effort
resulted in the creation of two washout models.
The first of these is based on linear theory and
provides a relationship that can be used for
hand-calculated estimates of washout provided
that the implicit assumption of vertical rainfall
is not violated significantly. The second model
can account for nonlinear behavior and is not
restricted to vertical rainfall, but necessitates
computer calculation to predict washout
values. Solubility experiments were conducted.
The field-study program was conducted on the
Olympic Peninsula of Washington state to ex-
amine the washout of S02 in an unpolluted at-
mosphere. Irreversible washout was shown to
be untenable. Predictions from the nonlimiting
washout models were found to agree well with
experiments.

A two-phase study, involving both laboratory
and field investigations, has demonstrated the
feasibility of using reverse osmosis to provide
potable water from acid mine drainage. The
laboratory investigations involved the deter-
mination of methods for controlling iron fouling
and the selection of a process flow sheet. Dur-
ing the field test, the process developed in
Phase I was used to treat acid mine drainage
from an underground abandoned anthracite
coal mine. Treatment prior to reverse osmosis
consisted of filtration (10 microns) followed by
ultraviolet light disinfection. Brine from the RO
unit was treated by neutralization, oxidation,
and settling. Results obtained indicated that
membrane fouling due to iron was satisfactorily
controlled, but calcium sulfate fouling limited
the recovery of product water to about 75%.
Product water was of potable quality in all
respects except for iron, manganese, and pH.
Calcium sulfate precipitate on the RO mem-
brane was successfully removed using a solu-
tion of ammoniated citric acid at pH 8. (Author)

as an integral part of a closed water system
within the mill. Of the many equipment types
tested, the one selected was capable of con-
centrating a stream containing 1% dissolved
solids to 99% less volume containing 10% dis-
solved solids. Product water thus separated
was of high quality, suitable for use for stock
dilution, pump shaft seal lubrication, etc.
Overall flux rate for the operating portion of a
plant performing to these standards was about
7 gallons/sq ft/day. The cellulose acetate mem-
branes exhibited no significant deterioration,
and a conslusion that the membranes are capa-
ble of providing a minimum of one year of con-
tinuous service is encouraged. Limited testing
at higher temperatures indicated that the mem-
branes do not deteriorate as rapidly as pre-
dicted.

A vibrating screen separator has been
developed for liquid-solid separation of
livestock wastewater. Pilot tests on swine and
beef cattle wastewater have shown that the re-
sistant or slowly biodegradable solids are effec-
tively removed on vibrating screens ranging in
mesh size from No. 60 to No. 120. Although
measurably less efficient than conventional de-
watering devices such as centrifuges and
vacuum filters, the gravity dewatering vibrating
screen separation is better suited to the
economic scale of the average livestock opera-
tion. The removal of resistant solids from
wastewater prior to stabilization substantially
improves the performance of biological treat-
ment systems by enhancing the controlling
transport and kinetic mechanisms in such
processes. The liquid fraction can be partially
reclaimed by biodegradation and recycled as

At a beef slaughtering plant, the kill capacity
can be 250 animals per hour. In a ten-hour day
this represents a tremendous quantity of blood,
paunch, and manure, which must be disposed
of in such a way so as not to further tax the
waste-carrying capacity of the nearby rivers or
to increase the ever growing problem of pollu-
tion of air, land, and water. Thus it was decided
to test facilities for the drying of the whole
blood and the paunch contents of rumen

Many new ideas for sludge treatment and
disposal have been proposed and put into use
in recent years. The method most commonly
used is that of anaerobic digestion followed by
dewatering of sludge. However, for at least the
last 10 or 15 years aerobic sludge digestion has
been used or experimented with. Aerobic
sludge digestion is a process in which waste
sludges are subjected to aeration by various
means to reduce the amount of sludge and to
make it less objectionable estheticly. Pilot plant
aerobic sludge digesters were used to treat
sludge from a two stage trickling filter plant.
Primary sludge only, mixed primary and secon-
dary sludge, and secondary sludge only, were
digested at detention periods. Physical and
chemical analyses were made. Data indicated
considerable variation in concentration of the
various parameters with aeration time and
sludge source. Results showed that aerobic
digestion was a highly variable process which
could produce excellent results in some cases,
while yielding highly undesirable results in
similar cases.

used in the study were the actinomycete
Streptomyces odorifer, the alga Synura peter-

odorous constituents produced by these organ-
isms were obtained by steam distillation of the
culture medium containing the cells. Analysis
of the extracts was made by gas chromatog-
raphy, infrared, mass and nuclear magnetic

produced by Streptomyces odorifer have been
identified. A large number of odorous con-
stituents were also identified from the culture
filtrates Synura petersenii. The major odorous
compound produced by Trichoderma viride
was also determined.

Disposal of'the sludge that results from primary
treatment of waste waters generated during the
manufacture of coated and/or filled papers has
caused many problems. A process has been
developed and tested in a full scale mill trial
wherein the pigment present in the waste
sludge was reclaimed through incineration of
the volatile components of the sludge. In es-
sence, the process consisted of operations in
which the sludge resulting from the primary
treatment process was diluted to less than
0.75% solids, centri-cleaned. dewatered to 30%
solids, shredded, dried, and burned in a rotary
kiln. The ash that resulted - the pigment - was
then pulverized and used as filler pigment in the
papermaking process. The process was shown
to be economically unfeasible at the present
time. (Author)

chemical species present and the reactions
they undergo in the sorption process were
defined. An equilibrium model was developed
so that the concentrations of the significant
nitrogen-oxygen species present in the gas
phase could be calculated under given condi-
tions. A sorption mechanism and rate limiting
step were proposed and an experimental pro-
gram for testing them and providing engineer-

Effects of rainfall runoff from a beef cattle
feedlot on the water quality of a small impound-
ment were determined. Changes in chemical
concentration of impounded water and
changes in the community structure of aquatic
organisms were measured and related to the
amount and composition of feedlot runoff
received. Water quality changes were also
monitored in a nearby reservoir which received
no feedlot runoff to serve as a control. Changes
in chemical concentration or population struc-
ture of organisms were not apparent for
discharges of about one-part feedlot runoff to
40 parts receiving water. Runoff discharges for
two pumping periods with each contributing
one-fourth of the volume of the receiving water
were shown to degrade water quality in the im-
poundment. Several significant chemical and
biological changes occurred. The most dra-
matic reduction in the biological community
was the suffocation of about 90% of the game
fish in the impoundment.

Research was conducted to determine the
feasibility of using adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) as a measure of viable biomass in ac-
tivated sludge. Methods were developed for the
extraction of ATP from sludge and mixed
liquor, and for the determination of ATP using
the firefly bioluminescent procedure. Measure-
ments of ATP were conducted on various pure
cultures, pilot plant and full-scale activated
sludge treatment plants. Additional parameters
including BOD, TOO, oxygen uptake rate, and
suspended solids were measured to provide
comparative and supportive information
Preliminary tests in which ATP measurements
of biomass were used to control the percent
sludge return were conducted at two full-scale
municipal sewage treatment plants. Lowered
return sludge rates were found to produce ef-
fective treatment and increase the biological
activity of the sludge. Results can be obtained
within approximately ten minutes. (Author)

Laboratory studies demonstrated the feasibility
of using waste wool and wool/polyester blend
fibers to remove mercury pollution from waters
and bottom deposits. Nylon fiber was shown to
have limited potential. Within 24 hours, 90-95%
of mercury at the 1-ppm level was removed by
the wool fiber. At higher levels of mercury,
larger quantities were removed, but the per-
centage decreased. Changes in pH (2 to 10) and
temperature (5 to 35 C) did not markedly alter
efficacy of wool, nor did anaerobic conditions
or variation in water hardness. However, the
presence of sulfide in water or sediment
reduced effectiveness of wool. Sources of mer-
cury were mercuric chloride, methyl mercuric
chloride, phenyl mercuric acetate, bis (2-

mercury.

parison of an anaerobic-aerobic system with a

sive review of the literature and through inter-
views with engineers, scientists, and govern-

in the four states of the project area. Mineraliza-
tion of ground water is the most prevalent fac-
tor in the degradation of ground water quality in
the project area. Large quantities of ground
water in each of the four states are undesirable
for many uses because of excessive mineraliza-
tion. Much of the mineralization of ground
water is a result of natural processes. A listing
of conditions causing ground water pollution in

Changes in stream water quality, resulting from
recent impoundment, are presented and
discussed. Extensive data reflecting pre- and
post-impoundment conditions were statistically
analyzed. The extent to which pollutants in-
fluence changes in water quality was minimal,
as the drainage basin was relatively
undisturbed by the activities of man. Chemical,
physical, and microbiological parameters at
stream stations were evaluated for three dis-
crete periods of time: prior to closure of the
dam. during filling of the active conservation
pool, and following filling with the surface
maintained near the top of the active conserva-
tion elevation. Effects of removing treated mu-
nicipal waste effluents from a tributary were
also evaluated. Water quality changes within
the impoundment were compared with respect
to season, year, station location, and depth of
sampling. Critical factors in the impoundment,
which contributed to water quality changes, are

Fourteen industrial organic chemicals were ex-
amined for their persistence through biological
treatment, either as the initial compounds, or as
degradation products. Semi-continuous ac-
tivated sludge systems were employed. The
ability of each of the chemicals to participate in
reactions with free chlorine was then deter-
mined in a series of batch experiments. Certain
of the test compounds formed persistent
degradation products during treatment. Five of
the initial compounds reacted readily with
chlorine, under conditions commonly em-
ployed in effluent chlorination. Five of the
chlorination products were further studied in
respirometer experiments to evaluate their per-
sistence in mixed microbial systems. Their tox-
icity to fish was determined using the static
bioassay procedure. A series of bench scale,
continuous flow ecosystems were established
for the evaluation of longer term effects of three
of the chlorination products. Several varieties
of organisms, representing different levels in
the food chain, were studied.

The feasibility of fluidized-bed incineration for
selected carbonaceous industrial wastes was
evaluated. The two-phase program consisted of
an initial phase in which wastes from the paint,
plastics, rubber, and textile industries in Ohio
were characterized, and a second phase in
which various waste samples were obtained,
analyzed, and experimentally incinerated in a
10 inch diameter fluidized-bed system. Results
indicate that sludges from solvent recovery
operations in the paint industry, sludges from
primary treatment of process wastes from
plastic manufacturing, flotation sludges from
primary treatment of synthetic rubber manufac-
ture, and the waste from the viscose process of
the textile industry can be incinerated in a
fluidized-bed system without the production of
noxious or toxic exhaust gases. The program
also indicates that incineration of the various
wastes significantly reduces their potential im-
pact on stream pollution. (Author)

A field project demonstrated the feasibility of
renovating secondary sewage effluent by
ground water recharge with infiltration basins.
Maximum loading rates were obtained. With the
schedules the system could infiltrate 300-400
ft/year using a water depth of 1 ft. Grassed
basins had higher infiltration rates, and a gravel
covered basin had a lower infiltration rate than
a bare soil basin. Essentially complete removal
of BOD and fecal coliform, and significant
removal of phosphorus, nitrogen and fluoride
were obtained. Hydraulic properties of the
aquifer were evaluated by analog from the
response of piezometric heads in the ground-
water system to infiltration. These properties
were then used in the design of a prototype
system, which would yield renovated water at
an estimated total cost of about $5 per acre-
foot at the pump. (Author)

The release of toxic mercurials by mercury-en-
riched river sediments was examined in the
laboratory. Tests showed a release of 1 micro g
of methylmercury per sq m, per day. Methylmer-
cury occurred in sediments with low and with
high organic content, in sediments with low
and high cation exhange capacity, and in aero-
bic and anaerobic sediments. The release of
toxic mercury could be prevented by a layer of
sand, 6 cm in thickness, applied over the mer-
cury-enriched sediments. Layers of fine or
coarse gravel (6 cm deep) were as effective as
sand. A slow release of metallic mercury oc-
curred in aerobic sediments. The release was
much faster in anaerobic sediments. Using
ascorbate as an artificial electron donor, metal-
lic mercury could be released at high rates from
aerobic sediments as well. Ascorbate appeared
to be a useful indicator of divalent and biologi-
cally accessible mercury. The laboratory in-
vestigations proved the soundness of the sand
blanket approach. Costs are given. (Author)

Because of a tremendous increase in the con-

waters, the study of N03(-) leaching has
become very important. The present investiga-
tion was undertaken to determine the potential
contribution of fertilizer N use on citrus and row
crops to the NO3(-) in ground waters in the
Santa Ana River Basin of Southern California
where a deep unsaturated zone exists between
the soil profile or crop-root zone and the water
table or saturated zone. The objectives were to
relate N03(-> concentrations in the unsaturated
zone to N inputs, N removal by harvested crops
and the volume of drainage water, to obtain
some estimates of transit times for drainage
water through the unsaturated zone, to esti-
mate denitrification losses on a field basis, and
to assess the probable effects of present fertil-
izer N recommendations on NO3(-) in ground
waters.

Toxicity of industrial effluents discharged
directly into or in close proximity to the Trinity
River (Tarrant County. Texas) was investigated
through a 27-month period. The investigation
was concerned with four aspects—bioassay,
growth and development, chemistry, and
benthos. Three industries contributed toxic
materials which had a significant influence on
the surrounding aquatic community. Toxicity
ranges were established for the respective ef-
fluents using mature minnows, fry and spawn.
Effluents from a railroad equipment cleaning
area, a plant producing cracking catalysts used
in processing combustion engine fuels, and a
sewage treatment plant influenced the water
quality of the river downstream from the out-
falls. The ranges of nitrates, phosphates,
biochemical oxygen demand and specific con-
ductance for the river were increased by the ef-
fluents.

An eighteen month biological study showed the
heated brine effluent from a desalination plant
in Key West, Florida caused a marked reduction
in biotic diversity. Some organisms were more
abundant in the receiving waters than in control
areas but these were generally capable of
isolating themselves from the effluent by clos-
ing up or by moving to other areas during
periods of high contamination Ionic copper,
discharged from the plant, was the most toxic
feature of the effluent. T.emperalure and salinity
of the effluent and the receiving water were
such that the effluent stratified at the bottom of
the receiving basin. Periodically, the plant shut
down for maintenance or cleaning. When it
resumed operations, low temperature water of
ambient salinity was discharged which was
highly contaminated with ionic copper. These
sudden effusions caused more biological
damage than steady-state conditions. At the
end of the study, extensive engineering
changes were made to correct corrosion
problems and lower copper discharge. (Author)

Laboratory and field studies were conducted to

western Lake Superior with special reference to
the make-up and distribution of the periphyton
growths and to the overall importance of
productive capacity of this assemblage of or-
ganisms. The taxonomic portion of the in-

number of organisms were diatoms and that the
phyla to which these diatoms belonged were
the Chrysophyta, the Chlorophyta, and the
Cyanophyta. Predominant genera were
Synedra, Achnanthes, Navicula, Cymbella, and
Gomphonema In many respects, the
periphyton of Lake Superior was similar to that
found in streams and there was evidence that
the interrelated factors that affected periphyton
growths were temperature, light Intensity,
depth of water, water movements, nutrient
levels, and the type of substrate. (Author)

procedure developed for power plants was
directly amenable to the zinc smelter In-
vestigated. S02 concentrations as high as 7.5%
did not affect the sampling and analytical
procedure. When using a stannous chloride or
distilled water scrubber during one minute runs
over a wide range of flow rates reproducible
results were obtained with a 95% plus recovery
on the first amalgamator. The stability of the
mercury-gold amalgam depends on the tem-
perature of the gas stream. The major problem
was the high sensitivity of the analytical
procedure resulting in a very short sampling
period. (Author)

ever, a satisfactory method for predicting the

modified with cationic C-31, Hercules' cationic
Reten 210, and Calgon's anionic ST 269 with a
clay builder, were added to raw wastewater in
240 MGD tests of raw wastewater flocculation.
The objectives of polymer flocculation of the
raw wastewater were to increase solid capture
in the primary tanks, reduce the BOD load to
aeration, and permit recycle of the elutriate to
the plant's influent, Polymer treatment of raw
wastewater did not improve the solids capture

An advanced electrolytic generator has been

hypochlorite for disinfection of overflows from
combined sewer systems In the system an elec-

brine to chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide
solution, which are reacted immediately out-
side the cell to produce a 5 to 10% sodium
hypochlorite solution. Significant advances in
safety and economy have been realized by use
of a hydraulicalty impermeable cation
exchange membrane. The most critical com-
ponents, the dimensionally stable anode and
the ion-exchange membrane, have both
operated for over 3000 hours with no deteriora-
tion of performance. System operation has
been given a first order economic optimization.
The cost is significantly below that of truck
delivered solution. Such economy of operation
should make the generator useful for a wide
variety of water treatment applications. (Author)

A novel moving bed contactor has been used in
filtration studies of municipal waste at various
stages within a trickling filter plant. Granular,
buoyant filter medium is slurried with process
feed and introduced to the bottom of a column
equipped with lateral retaining screens and
filter medium harvesting machinery, both posi-
tioned toward the top of the column Within the
column, filter medium rises by buoyancy and
forms a porous plug that traps suspended
solids from the feed stream. Filtered liquid is
removed from the lateral screen, and soiled
filter medium is continuously removed from the
column top, washed and recycled to the
column bottom. The process operates stably
and dependably on all feeds tested-raw waste-
water, primary clanfier effluent, and trickling
filter effluent. Filtration of alum-coagulated
feed is less effective than that of untreated feed.
Costs of the process, including equipment,
power, construction, and amortization, were
estimated. (Author)

The research program was initiated to develop

in media as a supplement for growth of obligate
sludge anaerobes. The possible relationship
between concentration of a growth factor

Mercury contamination enters streams and
lakes from a variety of sources. It becomes
sorbed onto the sediments where it resides in
dynamic equilibrium with the dissolved species
in the suprajacent water column. A means must
be found to remove mercury from sediments
without destroying the environment or other-
wise upsetting the ecological balance. The
problem of mercury immobilization and
removal was addressed by evaluating a number
of recoverable sulfur based getter systems. Ex-
amples of these are: Elemental sulfur deployed
as a coating on a recoverable meshwork, and
Thiourea type organic compounds dispersed in
a recoverable matrix. In the course of these
evaluations several improved getter system
combinations became obvious and these were
also included into the scope of this research.
Only natural sediments and waters were used to
prepare test aquaria in order to simulate natural
conditions as nearly as possible.

which is capable of monitoring water velocities
over a range of 0.5 to 5 ft/sec in turbulence
frequencies of 0 to over 100 Hertz and which
will automatically operate in water up to 10-feet
deep. Sealing inadequacies in both the air
reservoir membrane and the pressure
diaphragm permit moisture entry into the air
volume covering the strain gages. This has
given rise to balance drift and circuitry ground
problems that have resulted in the placing of
limitations on the water exposure and turbu-
lence monitoring times for the unidirectional
probe. These problems also suggested that the
concepts cannot be immediately incorporated
into a multidirectional probe design. (Author)

Ground water infiltration studies were per-

and again in 1970 and the results were com-
pared. Infiltration measurements in the systems
ranged from zero to 111,560 gallons per inch of
diameter per mile per day. The infiltration was
slightly increased in some lines and was greatly
decreased in others. The decrease is attributed
to soil and grease clogging the breaks, as was
observed in subsequent television inspection.
Infiltration has been found to vary with time.
The high infiltration rates were attributed to
poor construction methods used by contractors
on the main sewer system and by plumbers on
house connections. Bedding and backfill
material should provide even distribution of
load and support for the pipe. The use of these
materials and other construction techniques
are described.

Performance, size and cost for advanced sim-

turbine engines were reviewed. For various re-
gions of the U.S., comparisons were made of in-
stalled costs and total busbar power costs of a
1000-MW power station using gas turbines ver-
sus one using steam turbines. It is shown that
the gas turbines in the 1970 decade could
produce electric power at lower costs than
steam turbines in the South Central U.S. where
natural gas is readily available. Elsewhere in the
U.S. the gas turbines would be economically
competitive if moderately priced clean fuels
were available. Advanced gas turbines are ex-
pected to become more competitive in the
1980's as anticipated increases in turbine inlet
temperature, component efficiencies and larger
engine designs lead to more efficient and lower
cost engines. Although the development costs
for large, advanced gas turbines would ap-
proach 100 to 200 million dollars, the total
amount that utilities are expected to expend for
cooling devices to combat thermal pollution
over the next two decades is more than ten
times this amount. (Author)

The temperature distribution in the water body
due to a discharge of waste heat from a ther-
mal-electrical plant is a function of the
hydrodynamic variables of the discharge and
the receiving water body. The temperature dis-
tribution can be described in terms of a surface
jet discharging at some initial angle to the am-
bient flow and being deflected downstream by
the momentum of the ambient velocity. It is as-
sumed that in the vicinity of the surface jet. heat
loss to the atmosphere is negligible It is con-
cluded that the application of the two dimen-
sional surface jet model is dependent on the
velocity ratio and the initial angle of discharge,
and the value of the initial Richardson number,
as low as 0.22. Both laboratory and field data
are used for verification of the model which has
been developed. Laboratory data were used to
evaluate the two needed coefficients, a drag
coefficient and an entrainment coefficient, as
well as the length of the zone of flow establish-
ment and the angle at the end of that zone.

A comprehensive analytical model has been
developed to describe the flow of heated water
from a channel onto the surface of a lake or
reservoir. This analytical tool can be used to
predict depth, width, temperature, and flow
velocity in a heated water surface jet. Weak
cross-currents and winds are included. The
model also predicts the total amount of heat ac-
tually lost to the atmosphere and the amount of
ambient water entrained. As presented, the
analytical method is simple and inexpensive to
apply. It assumes fully established buoyant jet
flow into homogeneous environment. It can be
extended to include, for example, an outlet
zone (zone of flow establishment) or stratifica-
tion in the ambient water. Criteria for the ex-
istence of the two-dimensional mixing internal
hydraulic jump and the rates of entrainment
which it may produce have been established
theoretically and verified with a limited number
of experimental data The results of two field
surveys in a thermal plume are presented.

Analytical techniques are given to describe the
mixing of two fluids of different density in a
confined aquifer, in which one fluid is in-
troduced to the aquifer by well recharge. The
immiscible displacement process in both linear
and radial flows is analyzed and the effects of
longitudinal and lateral dispersion are included
using a boundard layer approximation.
Hydrodynamic dispersion retards gravity
segregation due to density differences. During
recharge excellent agreement between the
theoretical predictions and experimental
results was found, and the predicted retarding
effects of longitudinal dispersion were verified.
During withdrawal some systematic differences
between the theory and observation were
noted. Theoretical predictions of recovery effi-
ciency during a recharge-storage-withdrawal
sequence show trends similar to those ob-
served. Direct theoretical predictions of
recovery efficiency during single or multiple
sequences of recharge-storage-withdrawal
were developed for an immiscible system, and
similar developments outlined for miscible dis-
placement.

dicated that incinerators are capable of achiev-
ing low emission concentrations for the com-

measurable concentration of lead. The ash
samples normally showed a higher concentra-
tion of the heavy metals when compared with
the sludge samples. The pesticides and PCB

In conjunction with already existing methods
for measuring the chemical and physical
characteristics of water, methods for rapidly
measuring biological effects of water quality
would be very useful. Thus the authors studied
the effects of pollution on the breathing rates of
bluegills. The presence of zinc at concentra-
tions of 8.7, 5.22, 4.16 and 2.55 mg/l in
dechlcrinated municipal tapwater was detected
by an increase in breathing rate or a change in
breathing rate variance of bluegills. None of the
fish exposed to the three lower concentrations
died during the experiments. The criterion for
detection was an arbitrary number of responses
occurring at the same time. An in-plant system
for the prevention of fish kills caused by spills
could be developed by monitoring several
biological functions of fish simultsneously.

A continuous monitoring system, consisting of
an apparatus to detect light beam interruptions
as a sign of aberrations in fish movement pat-
terns, has been used to study the effects of fish
exposure to lethal and sublethal concentrations
of zinc. In addition to the exposure monitoring,
the growth and reproductive success of ex-
posed bluegill (Lepomlsmacrochirus) were stu-
died. In the movement tests, Notemigonus
crysoleucas and Carassius auratus were ex-
posed to 2.94-3.64 mg/l zinc ions as zinc sulfate
for 96 hrs. The light system detected premortal
movement aberrations allowing for survival of
test fish by condition reversal. Analysis of LD50
levels was accomplished and recorded by
atomic absorption spectrophotometry twice
daily. Growth and reproduction tests Involved
exposure of one male and 3 females to Zn con-
centrations about equal to 0.1-0.01 of the
lowest concentration detected by the monitor-
ing tests. Eggs were collected and hatched
separately. Concentrations of one-tenth the
lowest zinc concentrations eliminated
reproduction in the bluegills. (Author)

The research concerns sulfur control by means
of coal gasification. Previous work has shown
that desulfurization reactions on coal during
pyrolysis and gasification are inefficient under
equilibrium conditions. The experiments in-
cluded measurements on the desulfurization
kinetics (non-isothermal) for ten bituminous
coals. An extensive series of measurements
were conducted on the kinetics of H2S reac-
tions with coal char and with the principal reac-
tive constituents of char including carbon, iron,
and calcium oxide The kinetics of calcination
for several dolomites and limestones were in-
vestigated. Experiments were also conducted
on the pyrolysis of coal mixed with calcium
oxide and on the gasification of coal with steam
and oxygen both in the presence and absence
of calcium oxide.

An experimental study of the interrelationships
between filter operation, floe properties, and
filter performance for water clarification was
conducted. Two different clarification systems
were investigated. One system had flocculalion
and sedimentation ahead of the filters. In the
other, the pretreatment consisted of chemical
addition and a brief period of rapid mixing.
When operated in this latter manner, the filters
were actually serving as contact flocculators.
The technical and economic feasibility of water
or waste water clarification by contact floccula-
tion are demonstrated. It was concluded that a
cationic polyelectrolyte, cat-floe
(dimethylpentamethylene ammonium chloride),
is more effective than alum. A dual media filter,
consisting of a very coarse, uniform coal layer
on top of a shallow sand layer, performed better
than others. The dependence of filter per-
formance on such factors as chemical dose, fil-
tration rate, and raw water suspended solids
was also examined.

A report is presented of a program for which the
objective was to reduce N0(x) mass emissions
from a 4000-pound GVW vehicle by extending
the operation of the engine in the ultra-lean
air/fuel regime. The Phase I effort of the pro-
gram consisted of a baseline vehicle evaluation
with a carburetor, installation of Electronic Fuel
Injection (EFI), and the baseline evaluation with
EFI. The Phase II effort consisted of removing
the engine from the vehicle and installing it on
an engine dynamometer, performing steady-
state tests at selected power test points, and,
finally, exploring the possible ultra-lean opera-
tion using various parameters. The potential of
reducing the N0(x) emissions with ultra-lean
mixtures is seen clearly. However, ultra-lean
mixtures are very prone to misfire resulting in
increased HC emissions and rough engine
operation giving poor drivability. On the other
hand, the oxygen-rich exhaust, resulting from
lean operation, appears to offer the possibility
of a thermal reactor or a catalyst for oxidizing
HC without secondary air.

One means of reducing 802 air pollution from
fuel combustion involves the injection of
limestone directly into a furnace to effect vapor
phase calcination and sulfation reactions. The
report reviews this process and its basic objec-
tive to provide an independent assessment of
the status of the Dry Limestone Process
Technology and to up-date the design bases to
reflect any additional process information. All
available information was reviewed on the Fry
Limestone Injection Process and pertinent cor-
relations and equipment design recommenda-
tions were derived wherever possible. The
emphasis was placed on the evaluation of data
from in situ calcination-sulfation studies taken
in flow reactors designed to simulate commer-
cial boilers. The correlation approach was
developed for a 'shrinking core' model, i.e.,
where SO2 gas must diffuse through a reaction
product layer (CaSO4) to reach the shrinking
inner core of available reactant (CaO) Attempts
were made to test the reaction system model
against data obtained in other flow reactor stu-
dies. Efforts were also made to compare the
model with some initial test data. Available in-
formation was reviewed for the obvious impor-
tant equipment performance parameters, e.g.,
effect of additives on slagging characteristics,
efficiency of dust removal equipment, and slu-
ice water quality control.

addition of blower supplied air. Excessive odor
production as temperatures increased
prevented conclusion of the total program or
any single phase. No practical method for con-
trol of temperature resultant from bacterial
energy exerted in volatile reduction could be
devised. The experiment was beneficial in
determining the extent of practical application,
and in establishing that thermophilic digestion
temperature ranges could have produced sig-
nificant volatile reduction. Determinations
made also afford a measure of energy (heat)
generated by aerobic bacteria in destruction of
waste.

opposing processes, nitrification and denitrifi-
cation can coexist in close succession or in ad-
joining rriicrohabitats. Field values for nitrate-
nitrogen and nitrite-nitrogen vary considerably

The water impounded at Indian Creek Reservoir
near Lake Tahoe, California is approximately
one-third surface runoff and direct precipita-
tion and two-thirds reclaimed water exported
from South Tahoe Public Utility District Plant.
Discussed are the results of tests which deter-
mined the temporal changes and relationships
between water quality characteristics of Indian
Creek Reservoir and those of the reclaimed
water. Initially the reservoir would not support
fish life, but as the reservoir matured, ammonia
levels declined to less than 4 mg/l and by 1970
it was an excellent trout fishery. Approximately
70% of the ammonia nitrogen was lost to the at-
mosphere by nitrification-denitrification. Good
biological productivity indicated access to
other phosphorus sources, probably runoff.
Relative to conductivity and chemical com-
ponents the water is of good irrigation quality.
Various parameters showed that the reservoir
responds to more complex factors than those
measurable in the reclaimed waste water, rais-
ing the question of the effectiveness of tertiary
treatment for recreational impoundments.

Laboratory studies were conducted to in-
vestigate the basic factors affecting nitrogen
oxide formation in the combustion of fossil
fuels. A jet-stirred combustor and a multiburner
(so-named because of its ability to burn gas, oil
or pulverized coal fuels) were used. The jet
stirred combustor was used to study NO(x) for-
mation in combustion under kinetically limited
conditions. The combustion conditions were
selected to be pertinent to stationary sources
such as furnaces and boilers with peak tem-
peratures ranging from 2500-3500 F. Prelimina-
ry experiments were performed with the mul-
tiburner which indicated the influence of heat
losses and residence time on NO(x) emissions
in the combustion of methane/air. The mul-
tiburner was used as a rudimentary flow reactor
to study the formation of nitrogen oxides in air
at high temperatures. The mathematical model
has been extended to allow calculations of NO
formation under fuel-rich conditions. Particle
combustion capability has been incorporated
into the model and mixing effects can be han-
dled with the macro-mixing option. Test cases
have been run for the above options which in-
dicate the correct order of magnitude predic-
tions and the correct directional effect of com-
bustion modifications on NO(x) emissions.

work has emphasized the application of non-
isothermal kinetic studies to the theoretical, ex-
perimental, and practical problems associated
with the removal of sulfur from coal. To in-
crease the efficiency and precision of data
acquisition and interpretation, a computerized
non-isothermal, kinetic laboratory has been
designed, built, and put into operation. Detailed
non-isothermal kinetic studies of the desul-
furization and gasification of five bituminous
coals, lignite, anthracite, and pyrite, under
reducing and oxidizing atmospheres have been
conducted. An attempt has been made to
identify the types of sulfur bonding associated
with the removal of sulfur. Non-isothermal
kinetic measurements7 of the removal of
hydrogen sulfide produced in the desulfuriza-
tion under both reducing and oxidizing condi-
tion by calcium oxide and dolomite have been
carried out. Reactions of hydrogen sulfide with
iron, iron sulfide, and various coal chars have
also been investigated.

Fluidized bed processing of high-sulfur fossil
fuels is evaluated for economical steam and/or
power generation within projected pollution
control limits. In fluidized bed combustion the
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are
minimized during the combustion process, and
the heat transfer from the burning fuel to
evaporating water is facilitated to achieve a
more economical boiler system. In fluidized bed
gasification a clean fuel gas with minimal sulfur
and particulates is produced which can be util-
ized for power generation at atmospheric pres-
sure in conventional gas-fired boilers or at
elevated pressures in a gas-turbine combustor.
The report is a condensation of the complete
report; all the technical details of the work are
contained in Volume II and III which will be
released at a later date. No problems have been
identified which would preclude the develop-
ment of fluidized bed combustion boilers. The
atmospheric pressure fluidized bed oil gasifica-
tion concept has been technically demon-
strated with a 750 kW development gasification
plant.

Acid drainage produced by abandoned coal
mines continues to cause serious water pollu-
tion problems. Without knowing the exact loca-
tion of the concealed openings and the extent
of the mine, source abatement techniques are
virtually impossible. Drilling is the only known
method for accurately determining the location
and extent of the mine voids, but this is ex-
tremely expensive. This project attacks the
problem through field studies of the following
geophysical methods: electrical resistivity, self-
potential, infrared radiometry, total field and
differential magnetometry, seismic refraction
and reflection, very low frequency electromag-
netic and induced polarization over well-docu-
mented, drift, coal mines. Airborne infrared
radiometry proved to be an excellent tool for
detecting and mapping acid mine/fresh water
sources, acid mine/fresh water drainage, and
fracture traces under selected conditions.

The objective was to develop and evaluate, at
full plant scale, the combined chemical-biologi-
cal process of phosphorus removal. Alum
proved to be a more effective precipitant than
sodium aluminate in the moderately alkaline
wastewater used. Total phosphorus concentra-
tion of the unfiltered effluent was dependent
upon effluent suspended solids levels as well as
on effluent soluble phosphorus concentrations.
Removal of organic matter was improved as a
result of chemical addition in the chemical-
biological process. The chemical-biological
process produced approximately twice as
much weight of sludge as did the parallel con-
trol. Alum addition did not reduce the sludge
volume index (SVI) of the mixed liquor whereas
sodium aluminate addition resulted in signifi-
cant decreases. Costs for chemical precipita-
tion of phosphorus in the chemical-biological
process are estimated. (Author)

Sludges containing aluminum phosphorus
precipitates from an activated sludge waste
water treatment plant were digested in a high-
rate digester. Sodium aluminate and liquid
alum were used to precipitate the phosphorus
from the waste water. Analyses on both raw and
digested sludges showed that once
precipitated from the waste water and incor-
porated into a sludge the phosphorus did not
redissolve while undergoing anaerobic
digestion. Most of the soluble phosphorus in
both the raw and digested sludges was in the
orthophosphate form, and the addition of the
inorganic aluminum phosphorus complexes
did not adversely affect the anaerobic digester.
High concentrations of soluble aluminum ion
did not appear in the anaerobic digester, and
the use of alum for phosphorus removal caused
no additional hydrogen sulfide production dur-
ing sludge digestion. Analyses also indicated
the addition of aluminum compounds
enhanced the dewatering properties of the raw
sludges. (Author)

The introduction of microorganisms with

shown to be a possible means of ridding the
soil of contaminating chemicals. An investiga-
tion of the interactions of soil microorganisms
and several groups of herbicidal compounds,
primarily chlorinated derivatives, was made. In
pure ulture and in soils the addition of 2,3,5,6-
tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA) had little ef-
fect upon bacterial growth, and several
microorganisms appeared to use the herbicide
as a carbon source. The encouragement of the
soil microflora by the addition of nutrient
broths resulted in a reduction of toxicity to
plants of a number of herbicides. Isopropyl N-

when added to soil, accelerated the degrada-
tion of IPC and related compounds. A mem-
brane 'biologicalilter' device for reducing
waterborne biodegradable pollutants was also

The zeolite ion exchanger Clinoptilolite was in-
vestigated with the objective of optimizing its
application to ammonia removal from waste-
waters. The study included multiple cycle pilot
plant operations at three municipal sewage
treatment plants. Particular attention was given
to cation interference with exhaustion per-
formance and with minimum cost regeneration.
The ammonia capacity of Clinoptilolite was
found to be nearly constant over the pH range
of 4 to 8. In regeneration the pH was critical in
determining the NaCI requirements, a higher
pH favoring lesser amounts of salt. An average
ammonia removal of 95.7% was obtained. The
cost of ammonia removal was estimated. Am-
monia removals down to less than 0.5 mg/l
NH3-N is technically feasible, but only with
shorter exhaustion runs and greater regenerant
requirements. (Author)

Modifications are made on a one-dimensional
analytical thermal stratification prediction
method to include the time required for inflow-
ing water to reach a dam face. A one-dimen-
sional water quality model is developed which
incorporates the internal flow pattern predicted
for a stratified reservoir from the temperature
model. The water quality model is designed to
predict the concentration of particular water
quality parameters in the outflow water as a
function of time. It is tested by comparisons
with measurements of outlet concentrations
resulting from pulse injections of a conserva-
tive tracer into a laboratory reservoir. The appli-
cation of the mathematical model to a field case
of practical interest is demonstrated by solving
the coupled set of water quality equations for
B.O.D. and D.O. predictions in Fontana Reser-
voir. It is concluded that the model is capable of
predicting the effect of reservoir impound-
ments on water quality.

The volume contains three technical notes
relating to the' limestone injection wet
scrubbing process (LIWS). The first concerns
the calculation of the enthalpy of aqueous ionic
solutions. It outlines the method for calculating
enthalpy: The thermodynamic basis, the deriva-
tion of the equations for the difference between
ideality and reference state, and the means of
selecting the reference states. A comparison is
made between experimental and calculated
values. Next a description is presented of the
Radian process model for the prototype LIWS
system. This technical note presents a descrip-
tion of the Radian process model A brief
description of the LIWS process with regard to
its relationship to the process model is followed
by listing of the model assumptions and
parameters. Included is a detailed description
of the model Finally equilibrium calculations
for Type I APCO inhouse experiments are given.
This technical note gives the results of
equilibrium calculations made during analysis
of data from SO2 scrubbing experiments.

presented. The computerized simulation
system is conducted by a combination of three
computer programs: (1) the executive section,
which provides control and information on the
progress of a simulation run; (2) the equipment
routines which perform the calculations neces-
sary to model the unit process operations: (3)
the auxiliary section which is a collection of
routines that provide special calculations for
equipment routines, interface other programs
and summarize the results of a run. This volume
contains a description of this system, operating
instructions, a technical note describing the
equilibrium program used by the system, a

hydraulics and liquid mixing, and summarizes
some initial data and tentative conclusions for
both steady-state and cyclic flows of an air-
water system in a three-tray section of a cyclic
absorber. Fluctuations in liquid-heads and in-

small air bubbles in the downflowing liquid;
and weepage of liquid due to liquid 'sloshing' in
the gas flow period have been found to have a
pronounced effect upon column hydraulics

A new process has been developed for remov-
ing sulfur from coal (as power plant fuel) during
the combustion phase In this process, coal is
dissolved by injection into molten iron and
simultaneously the dissolved coal carbon is ox-
idized with injected air to carbon monoxide.
Under the reducing conditions existing during .
combustion, coal sulfur is not oxidized, but
transferred from the iron to a slag consisting of
coal ash and added limestone. Thus, a sulfur-
free offgas is produced for use in power plant
boilers. Experimental combustor studies have
shown that a boiler stack gas, containing less
than 50 ppm sulfur dioxide is produced Com-
bustor design parameters were established.
and indicate that three 38-foot I.D. combustors
are required for a 1000 MW plant Laboratory
work has shown the slags can be successfully
desulfurized with steam to produce elemental
sulfur and a H2S/S02 gas stream suitable for
additional elemental sulfur recovery in a Claus
Plant. Costs are given. (Author)

The study concerned the movement of air pol-
lution in the atmosphere. With only prior
knowledge of the mean wind and temperature
profiles and using a relationship between the
macroscale and the dissipation scale derived
fof laboratory scale flow, the structure of turbu-
lence and the diffusion of matter were simu-
lated well within an order of magnitude of ob-
served values. In most cases, the verification is
within a factor of two. Perhaps most impor-
tantly all of the classical requirements for
asymptotic behavior of the diffusion were met.
The predictions were somewhat more exact for
neutral and unstable temperature stratification
than for stably stratified atmospheres. A greater
understanding of the physics of turbulent trans-
port has been achieved and has led directly to
further improvement and refinement of the
model. The dependence of the scale on stability
has been clarified.

The objective of the research was to develop a
general practical planning tool to provide op-
timal solutions for the complex choices in-
volved in balancing alternative methods for at-
taining water quality goals. Extended is the
earlier work, 'Mathematical Programming for
Regional Water Quality Management'. A mixed
integer, continuous variable non-linear pro-
gramming model is developed which promises
to be much more realistic and effective in
selecting an optimal configuration of regional
treatment plants and pipe juncture nodes. A
new Bender's type decomposition for the non-
linear model is also presented as an ap-
propriate and feasible solution technique. The
dissolved oxygen profile and the control op-
tions were linked. The work shows how the
transfer coefficients can be recalculated
periodically in the course of the system op-
timization. The theoretical framework for in-
cluding two additional treatment methods.
mechanical re-aeration and flow augmentation
via reservoirs is also developed.

A program for pollution abatement was un-
dertaken to study the effects of infiltration
reduction in sanitary sewers by joint sealing
and to study closed circuit television
techniques. Water pollution from municipal
wastewater treatment plants would be reduced
if peak flows from rainfall could be reduced.
The study evaluates the effects of remedial
repairs to joints by use of pressure grouting of
small main line sewers. A minimal measurable
amount of quantity flow reduction was at-
tributed to the sewer sealing program. Infiltra-
tion from extraneous storm water, illegal con-
nections, and basement underdrains seem to
outweigh the contribution due to leaky joints to
such a degree that reduction due to joint seal-
ing was obscured. The study does show the sig-
nificance of internal television system as an in-
spection and maintenance tool. This informa-
tion on costs, operation, and procedure is of
value to anyone interested in this field. (Author)

The purpose of the report is to compile and or-
ganize the many components which constitute
a preliminary waste water treatability study for
the refinery and petrochemical industry. Case
studies indicate that locating, analyzing, and
properly interpreting the nature of pollutional
sources within a petrochemical of refinery com-
plex is the basis from which a treatability study
can be developed. Each of the wastewaters in-
cluding normal process and utility effluent,
contaminated storm runoff, ballast water
discharge, and other related sources of waste-
water, must be properly characterized with
respect to their organic and inorganic con-
stituents. The treatability study must be pro-
grammed to yield definitive information con-
cerning pollutional removal rates, anticipated
levels of residual or non-removable con-
stituents, and treatment process requirements.

Field and laboratory measurements were made
to demonstrate that mercury vapor in the air
near mercury-polluted water or sediment can
be detected using an extremely sensitive detec-
tor, the Barringer Airborne Mercury Spectrome-
ter. Areas were visited where the presence of
mercury was known from fish, water, or sedi-
ment analyses; anomalous mercury levels rang-
ing from 50 to more than 20,000 nanograms per
cubic meter were detected. Anomalous con-
centrations of atomic mercury vapor in air may
be classified as natural or man-made. Labora-
tory studies demonstrated that the mercury
spectrometer is sensitive only to atomic mercu-
ry. By means of pyrolysis or combustion, or-
ganic compounds could be detected. To detect
mercury pollution in water, pyrolysis appears
necessary to convert combined mercury to the
atomic state for measurement by rapid spec-
trophotometric techniques.

Alumina, a phosphorus-selective adsorbent,
was used in a tertiary chemical process for
phosphorus removal. A mobile pilot plant
designed and built on the basis of laboratory
results was fitted into a standard forty-foot van
trailer. Th8 secondary effluent was passed
through a thirty inch multimedia filter bed and
stored. Then the filtered sewage was pumped
through one or more of three alumina beds ap-
proximately forty inches in depth and three feet
in diameter. Phosphorus loading of the alumina
columns can be in a downflow or upflow
direction with the columns in series or parallel.
NaOH was recirculated to remove absorbed
phosphorus in an alumina column taken off the
line. Valving and column washing was pH con-
trolled. Ca(OH)2 as added to the NaOH solution
in a mixing tank to precipitate phosphorus in
the form of hydroxyapatite. The solids were
removed in a continuous centrifuge and the

were evaluated for reuse potential. Freshly har-
vested olives can be stored for commercially
significant periods in reconditioned storage

were of good quality. There was no detectable
effect on final product quality with the reuse of
reconditioned brines of lower salt content.
When capital costs are amortized over 10 years
for a cannery storing 5,000 tons of olives an-

they are introduced into an activated sludge
system. The oil accumulates on the sludge
causing a loss of density and acceptable set-

The validity of determining smoke plume opaci-
ty or participate content from measurements of
the backscatter of laser radiation from plume
particulales was investigated. The backscatter
experiments were conducted with the use of a
specially designed aerosol chamber that al-
lowed the experimental geometry to simulate
that associated with actual remote plume prob-
ing. Raw fly ash collected from a bituminous
coal-burning power plant was classified into
various size fractions and pneumatically in-
jected into the chamber at controlled concen-
trations. The aerosol was continuously moni-
tored by a white light transmissometer along
the axis of the chamber. Lidar measurements
were made to determine the backscatter and
transmission of the generated aerosols. Those
results for fly ash indicate that plume opacity
may be determined from lidar backscatter mea-
surements at 07 microns wavelength, but that
mass concentration is better inferred from 1 06
microns lidar backscatter measurements.

A study was initiated as a result of the need to
develop background and preliminary data on
the environmental effects of coal-fired power
plants The objective of the study was to mea-
sure the concentration of eleven trace elements
in plants and soils in the Four Corners area of
New Mexico. Selection of the elements was
made on the basis of data obtained from a sur-
vey on the chemical make-up of the fly ash
emitted by the power plants in this location
These eleven elements are: As, Be, Cd, Cr. F,
Pb, Mn. Hg. Mo. Ni, Se. Some of the elements
studied, such as mercury, lead and selenium,
are known to be toxic to animals in relatively
low concentrations. This study, by sampling
plants and soils in two different locations, at-
tempted to develop preliminary data on the
potential buildup of each trace element.

The report gives details of an investigation
made of a multi-functional machine, known as
the Multi-Mover, which was originally designed
to perform the functions of a crawler trac-
tor/dozer, dump truck, compactor, and loader.
Its performance in accomplishing sanitary land-
fill and earthmoving operations was evaluated
at several sites in Idaho and Oregon to deter-
mine its effectiveness both absolutely and in
comparison with crawler tractors in compact-
ing waste and soil cover material, excavating
and spreading soil cover, and distributing
refuse for compaction. Since the machine is a
rubber-tired vehicle that can move over
highways under its own power, its use at scat-
tered sites in a sparsely populated area was
also evaluated. The advantages and disad-
vantages that result from the basic concept of a
multi-functional machine are presented, the
economics of purchase and operation are
analyzed, and certain modifications are recom-
mended. (Author)

materials for use as solid waste containers. Six
residential areas in Inglewood, California, were
selected; three were to receive bags for test use
and the remainder to serve as a control. Bag
systems studied included household
polyethylene and paper bags on holders, free-
standing paper bags and polyethylene can
liners as well as large polyethylene commercial
bin liners that were distributed to a number of
restaurants. Results were obtained by using
time and motion studies and this information
was reinforced by laboratory testing and by an
aggressive questionnaire program. A model of
the collection system was then developed and
subsequent simulation studies were employed
fo r cost analysis The project demonstrated
that bags are quite satisfactory as solid waste
container replacements for cans. The most
prominent problems, however, were the dif-
ficulties in developing efficient bulk storage
and distribution methods of the bags.

A summary is presented of the results from an
inventory of air pollutant emissions within the
State of New Hampshire. The contaminants
considered included sulfur oxides, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and
particulates. Estimates of the annual emission
of the pollutants were developed for the year
1970 and are summarized. The emissions within
each of these Regions are summarized by
source type. The methodology for preparing the
inventory consisted of first determining the
consumption of fuels according to combustion
sources for power, space heating, and other in-
dustrial process needs. The emission of pollu-
tants arising from this set of sources is esti-
mated by the application of appropriate emis-
sion factors in conjunction with selected fuel
composition. For the case of paniculate emis-
sions, the factors also take cognizance of the
reduction affected by existing installed control
devices. (Author)

An experimental study was made of the injec-
tion of SO3 or H2SO4 gaseous conditioning
agent to alleviate the problem of high electrical
resistivity of fly ash. This problem interferes
with the electrostatic precipitation of fly ash in
power stations burning low-sulfur coals and
thus providing very low concentrations of
H2SO4 as a naturally occurring conditioning
agent. Experimental measurements included in
the study consisted of determinations of fly-ash
resistivity in situ and analyses of coal, flue
gases, and fly ash with injected SOS and H2S04
concentrations up to 50 ppm. For comparison
with conditioning by injected S03 and H2SO4,
a parallel study was made of conditioning by
H2SO4 as produced naturally during the burn-
ing of coal. To compare the economic aspects
of different processes of SO3 and H2SO4 injec-
tion, an analysis was made of the various
capital and operating costs in existing injection
facilities. NH3 was studied as a means of coping
with poor precipitator efficiency in a power sta-
tion burning a high-sulfur coal and thus
producing an undesirably high concentration
o(H2SO4.

Snow samples were taken from the plateau gla-

vestigation intent on demonstrating the feasi-
bility of taking such samples from high altitude
snowfields for pesticide analysis and develop-
ing sampling techniques devoid of contamina-
tion. Samples were also taken at a depth of 15
m to determine whether DDT concentration
varied with the age of the snow. Pesticide
analyses were performed using vapor phase
chromatographic techniques. DOT was not de-
tected within the limit of detectability (5 ng/l).
Over half the samples were contaminated with
PCB's which raised the detectability limit to 10-
50 ng/1. The PCS contamination is believed to
have come from the sampling auger, as an anal-
ysis of rinsings from it seemed to confirm. A
sample taken from a depth of 1-5-2.5 m was
acidified with distilled nitric acid, when thawed,
and analyzed for!19 elements simultaleously
using a direcl reading emission speltrometer.
Four elements were detected: boron at 4 ng/ml,
cadmium at 9 ng/ml. chromium at 2 ng/ml, and
iron at 47 ng/ml. The high levels of cadmium
and especially iron suggest contamination from
the alloy steels of the auger.

toward and knowledge about air quality play a
role. First, the linkage between public attitudes
and Government action is discussed. Research
efforts tested a hypothesis concerning the rela-
tionship between mass media content and at-
titude change. Second, environmental condi-
tions which may have a bearing on variables in
the model are considered. Three variables were
considered to be mutually interdependent and
were considered endogenous These were: at-
titude toward air quality: mass media exposure
to information about air quality: and level of air
quality knowledge. Variables considered ex-
ogenous were: levels of interpersonal discus-
sion: social influence: levels of formal and
science education: and use of the environment
for recreation purposes. Finally, a theoretical
model concerning the acquisition and
processing of air quality information, by people,
was formulated and tested. (Author)

Studies of atmospheric chemistry have shown
that under certain conditions sulfur dioxide can
be converted to sulfuric acid and participate
sulfates. Air quality criteria and standards for
sulfur dioxide should, therefore, take into ac-
count the irritant potency of these oxidation
products, recognizing that both sulfur dioxide
and its degradation products can react further
with other air pollutant constituents. The docu-

animal studies examines the effect of sulfuric
acid mist particle size and exposure duration
on mortality and pathology studies. It also

unrelated to the spill, corresponded with vari-

probably not as a direct effect of the spill. Only
the temporary disappearance of tiny mysid

direct effect.

Various vehicle smoke test procedures,

techniques were evaluated by comparison to
well known standards. The test procedures
were compared to a chassis-dynamometer ver-
sion of the Federal smoke compliance test. The
performance of six commercial smokemeters
was compared to that of the standard PHS
smokemeter. Also, end-of-line and inline opaci-
ty measurements were evaluated by using an
inline version of the PHS smokemeter. The
smoke test procedures investigated showed
varying degrees of correlation with the simu-
lated Federal smoke test, but no one procedure
produced data that correlated with the Federal
test in every test instance. Other investigations
were also conducted: Two enlarged versions of
the PHS smokemeter were tested and showed
good agreement with the standard unit. Three
standard PHS instruments were used in a series
of repetitive smoke tests and exhibited excel-
lent agreement.

A state-of-the-art review was made to collect
and evaluate information on the instrumenta-
tion available to measure the quantities of
specific odorants in industrial plant emissions.
Its object is to examine the possibility of sub-
stituting a quantitative measurement of
odorants for the subjective measurement of
odors as a guide for the control of odorous
emissions. The review presents background in-
formation for the basic definitions of the
problem of odorant emission measurements,
and the types of instrumentation available.
Details are given of the three industries con-
sidered as odorant sources. Information is
given on specific instruments which are com-

Ascreening study was conducted to evaluate
the capability of aqueous solutions to scrub
NOx from the flue gases emitted by stationary
power plants fired with fossil fuels. The report
summarizes the findings of this laboratory pro-
gram. The experimental program studied the
following media for absorption of NOx from flue
gases containing no NOx: Water; Metal hydrox-
ides and slurries; Ammonia and 2-
aminoethanol solutions; Acid solutions; and
Salt solutions. In the scrubbing of flue gas con-
taining N02 and SO2. absorption of N02-S02
by sulfites, hydroxides, and carbonates was
studied. Combined NOx-SOx scrubbing seems
feasible using any of several hydroxide or car-
bonate systems provided NOx (NO) can be effi-
ciently oxidized to N02 upstream from the
scrubbing unit. (Author)

The effectiveness and economics of fluidized
bed combustion boilers in pollution abatement
and steam/power generation have been evalu-
ated. A 250,000 Ib/hr coal-fired, factory-
fabricated, industrial boiler has been designed
along with all of its auxiliaries. Utility boilers
have also been designed. Overall capital and
operating costs have been estimated for both
300 and 600 megawatt plants. The pressurized
fluidized bed combustion boiler operating in a
combined cycle power plant appears most ef-
fective in meeting projected emission stan-
dards and in reducing total S02, NOx, and par-
ticulate emissions, and most economical in
power generation. A fluidized bed oil gasifica-
tion-desulfurization system has also been
designed and evaluated as an add-on unit for
reducing SO2 emissions from utility boilers
burning high-sulfur oils. The estimated capital
cost of such a unit is presented.

Diatoms comprise the major group of algae in
Iowa waters. Their ecological significance, im-
portant in pollution evaluation studies, cannot
be fully appreciated without a thorough
knowledge of their taxonomy. A scale for
abundance rating was used giving at least a
rough estimate if data permitted. The names of
50 diatom genera occurring in Iowa are listed
and for each genus, the number of taxa in the
master list and the number in the 'more com-
mon' list are presented. A pollen analysis is
tabulated; the samples in this analysis extended
through 35 ft. of sediment to the postglacial in-
terface at Little Miller's Bay, Lake West Okoboji.
Dating was conducted by the radiocarbon
technique for samples taken between 34 ft. and
35 ft. in the sediment core. Since this level had
the maximum spruce pollen concentration and
the pollen percentage decreased progressively
above this level, it was considered as the post-
glacial interface. Some interesting problems lie
in consideration of those diatoms which have
disappeared from the original lake flora and
those which have become common only since
the middle of the postglacial period.

Acid formation in a mine cavity can be
prevented by keeping water (one of the reac-
tants) out of the mine. This might be accom-
plished by forming a waterproof seal over the
mine cavity to prevent the seepage ol surface
water into the mine. In laboratory tests using
reconstructed soil columns, rubber latex
showed good sealing efficiency. The ideal
situation in which latex would coagulate in a
narrow zone two to three feet below the surface
by reacting with acidic or metallic constituents
of the soil was not attained. Rather, in field tests
the latex was deposited progressively. Latex
stability appears to be a more critical property
than latex particle size in controlling penetra-
tion. Addition of excess anionic surfactants to
latex improved its penetration into the soil.
Costs are discussed.

August 1970 and was an experimental effort to
determine the feasibility of such a publication
in developing its own self-sustaining support as
an effective and economical means of dis-
seminating research information to the water
pollution control field. The 12 issues published
in the three-year grant period proved to be an
effective means of such dissemination and
demonstrated an excellent method of creating
a permanent, retrievable source of pertinent in-
formation. The project was not successful
economically in that advertising and other
revenues did not reach anticipated goals. The
project was terminated in August 1970 at the

Deposition of fine cohesive sediments in a tur-
bulent flow field was studied in a system of a
rotating annular channel and ring. The percent-
age of the total sediment that a given flow can
maintain in suspension depends only on the
bed shear stress and is independent of the ini-
tial sediment concentration. The percentage (C)
of the depositable sediment deposited at time t
has been found to vary with time according to
the law C -a log t ib, where the coefficient a is
independent of the flow conditions and sedi-
ment concentration, while the coefficient b is a
function of the bed shear stress only. Both a
and b depend on the physicochemical proper-
ties of the sediment and the water environment.
Deposition rates are proportional to the
depositable sediment concentration and inver-
sely proportional to time. (Author)

Survival of fecal indicator bacteria in a subarc-
tic Alaskan river was studied during the winter
of 1969-70 when there was total ice cover and
the water temperature was 0 deg C. Most of the
domestic pollution entered the river from one
source. Since no additional pollution entered
downstream from this source, an uninterrupted
study covering 7 days of flow (210 river miles)
was possible. Nine sample stations were
established to obtain total conform, fecal
coliform, enterococcus and water chemistry
data. Samples were collected four to eight
times from each station during the 2-week
period of data collection, and a discharge mea-
surement was made at each station during the
same period. Bacteria survival was examined
with and without consideration for the effect of
dilution. After 7 days flow time, total coliforms
were reduced to 3.2-6.5 percent of the initial
count, fecal coliforms to 2.1-4.2 percent, and
the enterococci to 18.1-37.3 percent depending
on dilution consideration.

induces a series of layers of flow in alternating
directions above and below the entering layer.
The mixed layer was made visible by mixing
blue dye into the supply fluid. The length.
thickness, and tip speed of the m ixed layer were
measured as a function of time, and an empiri-
cal scaling relationship was derived. The results
may be used to predict the extent of mixed
layers which might occur during the pumping
phase in a jump-storage reservoir.

The application of chemical fertilizers to forest
soils for site amelioration is one of the newest
and most promising methods for increasing
production. Concern has risen over possible
toxic and eutrophic effects of fertilization on
water quality. Data was assembled on the scope
and trends of the practice throughout the world
in order to determine the extent of actual or
potential detrimental effects of forest fertiliza-
tion, and to evaluate priority for grants. Results
of completed forest fertilization-water quality
studies are summarized and evaluated, and the
status of current water quality studies in
described. Recommendations are given for
reviews and new research efforts. (Author)

The APRAC-1A diffusion model was developed
as a versatile and practical model for comput-
ing the concentrations of pollutants at any
point within a city. The model calculates pollu-
tant contributions from diffusion on various
scales, including: extraurban diffusion, mainly
from sources in upwind cities; intraurban diffu-
sion from freeway, arterial, and feeder street
sources; local diffusion of emissions within a
street canyon. The model treats only carbon
monoxide (CO), a relatively inert gas in the at-
mosphere but an important pollutant in terms
of health. Motor vehicles are the major source
of this gas. (Author)

To relate basal nutrients in the water and on the
bottom of a warm, fresh water stream to their
ability to support growth and multiplication of
pathogenic and nonpathogenic enteric bac-
teria, three studies were designed including a
river water quality analysis, respiration experi-
ments, and continous culture experiments. The
presence of coliform bacteria primarily not
producing intestinal disease, serves as indica-
tors for potentially infectious microorganisms.
Any growth by either coliform bacterial group
or the disease producing organisms in the
natural aquatic environment could significantly
alter our present concepts of detection and sur-
veillance of these organisms. Tests in detecting
and analyzing polluted waters, and from levels
of the self-purification potential, showed that
Oconee River, a typically non-polluted stream
of the North Georgia piedmont, is capable of
supporting bacterial growth including
coliforms. (Author)

Partial free/ing of acid mine water was used to
the extent of 50% conversion to ice. Various
metal and acid components in the product
water were consistently reduced 85 to 90%.
Acid mine water that had been treated with lime
was used in similar freezing experiments and
observed to have a reduction of metal ions. The
pH remained substantially unchanged and the
hardness of the water was reduced by nearly
100%. Considerable variations resulted even
with efforts toward good control and reproduci-
bility of operation. A firm conclusion as to
reduction of sulfate and reduction of certain in-
dividual metals was prevented because of dif-
ficulties with analytical results. (Author)

Data was obtained for a direct comparison
between the freeze conditioning and dewater-
ing technique and the conditioning and de-
watering methods presently employed at Mil-
waukee, Wisconsin. The laboratory investiga-
tion phase resulted in a freeze-conditioning
system consisting of the following process ele-
ments: Flotation thickening prior to freezing,
Freezing in thin sheets, Thawing of the frozen
product, and Dewatering of the thawed sludge.
The objective of the engineering design phase
was the development of a freeze-conditioning
system to handle three tons dry solids per day
of activated sludge. Although the freeze condi-
tioning concept, from a technical standpoint,
has definite merit as a sludge conditioning
process, the equipment capital costs, operating
costs, and space requirements are appreciably
greater for the freeze conditioning process than
for the present chemical conditioning method

and mantle tissues climbs above 3. while alpha-
amino acids and carbohydrates decrease. Sub-
tle adjustments in the total pattern of free
ammo acids and fatty acids also occur, but
these can be readily seen by changes in
biochemical diversity and equitability. In an
estuary long suffering from hydrocarbons and
other agents in petroleum products and
sewage, high mortality results from a culmina-
tion of natural responses superimposed on ab-
normal complications. The process apparently
starts after a black, polymeric irritant collects in
epithelial tissue and eventually occludes the
renal sac. This leads, indirectly, to infestations
of a parasitic polychaete that is rarely found in
hard clams. A syndrome with many facets soon
becomes clear, but the situation can be
identified and its results predicted by simply
observing the responses of taurine and glycine
in stressed and normal populations.

The objective of this program was to develop a
high charge rate, high discharge rate lead-acid
battery compatible with the requirements of a
hybrid heat-engine/electric vehicle. Because
the power requirements and charge-discharge
profiles for a hybrid-vehicle battery are suffi-
ciently different than those for a conventional
lead-acid battery, a development program was
undertaken to optimize the lead-acid battery for
hybrid-vehicle use. As a result of this program,
ten test cells producing specific powers of 150
W/lb for a 75-sec discharge and 204 W/lb for a
20-sec discharge were developed and tested.
The achievements under this program in-
cluded: fabrication of thin, conductive vitreous
carbon-epoxy substrates, chemically inert to
lead-acid cell environment: a method for apply-
ing (pasting) the active material onto the sub-
strate; negative bipolar plates that exceeded
the performance target of 2A/sq in (0.3 A/sq

The effects of pollution on water quality -
Escambia River and Bay, Florida were in-
vestigated during a period of low Escambia
River discharge (1,068 cfs) in September and
October, 1969. The tidal circulation and bottom
sediment characteristics of the bay were re-
ported. Further circulation and more extensive
sediment characterization studies were made in
June, 1970, at much higher river flows (59,533
cfs). The report presents these results and com-
pares them with those of the 1969 study. Both
studies show that Escambia Bay sediments are
highly organic and tidal circulation in Upper
Escambia Bay is poor. Because of these condi-
tions, sediment disturbances—such as result
from dredging—can cause severe oxygen
depletion. Massive fish kills could result.

Agencies of the Federal government have been
assigned the responsibility ol carrying out
many programs, some of which affect either the
generation or recycling of solid wastes
throughout the country. The effects on solid
waste generation and recycling of most of the
approximately 1,000 Federal agencies are
minimal or nonexistent; however, some of the
Agencies' programs have a very direct effect.
The 12 agencies identified as having the most
influence are the subject of the report. In addi-
tion to determining the extent of the respective
agency influences, the report contains several
specific recommendations for improving the
Federal role in national solid waste manage-
ment. (Author)

that might be cited as the rationale for a
beverage container policy; and The analyses
and evaluation of alternative governmental pol-
icies for beverage containers, and resulting
recommendations. Three types of environmen-
tal dimensions to beverage containers were ex-
amined as possible bases for government ac-
tion. These were: The resource dimensions to
beverage container production, especially non-
refillable containers; The solid waste dimen-
sions of discarded beverage containers; and
The amenities dimensions of littered beverage
containers It is concluded that beverage con-
tainers are an environmental problem primarily
because some consumers of beverages litter

port describes the work done to accomplish the
following goals: advance the development of
flywheel systems technology including the
development of final designs on conformal

systems; demonstrate positive flywheel energy
containment in burst tests of flywheels; formu-
late safety analyses, using fault-tree and gross-

their effectiveness in reducing emissions, their
feasibility, and the probable costs were as-
sessed The transportation controls which
could conceivably reduce motor vehicle emis-
sions in the next few years are described and
evaluated. The intent was to provide assistance
in the preparation of transportation com-
ponents of state implementation plans. In most
rM the metropolitan areas under study, overall
CO emission reductions of at least 50 percent
from existing levels appear required to meet the
national ambient air standards by 1975. Most
transportation controls that are capable of
being introduced in the next few years offer the
potential for only modest reductions. All con-
trols would entail very substantial implementa-
tion costs which are discussed.

posed to varying temperatures, times, and con-
ditions, some of the conclusions included:
metal-wastage rates are temperature depen-
dent; water-wall incincerators should not be
used to generate high-temperature super-
heated steam; hydrogen chloride and sulfur
dioxide in the flue gases were of sufficient con-
centration to be of. concern and account for the
types of deposits found on the tubes; roles
played by the sulfur- and chlorine-containing
compounds in the refuse are of great im-
portance and are closely interrelated; zinc and
lead further complicate the corrosion process;
non-metallic materials should be considered as
coating for wet scrubbers of incinerator gases;
corrosion of incinerator grates is not a serious
problem. (Author)

Little has been written about the operational
and economic problems affecting specific com-
munities on solid waste problems. To provide
some insight into local problems, a case-study
approach was used to examine a sample mid-
western city (approximately 500,000 popula-
tion) with solid waste management problems
similar to most other medium-to-large urban
communities. Changes in the productivity of
solid waste collection crews brought about by
substituting capital for labor are studied. The
economic effects of solid waste management
costs on residents are analyzed by comparing
solid waste costs with disposable income.

Phosphate-free detergents, using three surfac-
tants which would be acceptable substitutes for
conventional home laundry products, were for-
mulated and evaluated. These surfactants are
relatively safe, non-polluting, and biodegrada-
ble. The formulations are effective over a con-
siderable water hardness range. Two of the sur-
factants investigated are about equally capable
of yielding detergent formulations of high
promise. All formulations contained 20% of the
selected surfactant (a sulfonate or sulfonamide)
and 2% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Possi-
ble substitutes or optimum use level were not
investigated. Although the point was not pur-
sued as a specific end, indications are that use
of these surfactants may lead to detergent for-
mulations of lower basicity than currently in
use, rendering them safer and less corrosive.
The formulation of choice had good overall de-
tergent properties performing well under all
test conditions and is essentially free of poten-
tially polluting substances Limited biological
testing of these surfactants indicates safety
relative to fish toxicity and lack of algal stimu-
lating properties.

be installed in existing oil- and coal-fired power
plants. In this, and a previous similar study. 14
different power systems were evaluated having
a total oil- and coal-fired generating capacity of
88.520 megawatts of which 78% had adequate
space for retrofitting scrubbers. To obtain an
indication of installation costs, a qualitative
retrofit complexity factor was estimated for
each boiler unit studied by considering such
items as space availability, site assessibility,
and degree of plant.modification. The complex-
ity factor relates the cost of retrofitting a control
system to the cost of the same system installed
on a new power plant The distribution of rela-
tive operating costs over generating capacity
was also calculated
Flow bench tests of a model rotating belt-
Couette flow oil recovery device were con-

These tests revealed that the device is capable
of harvesting oils over a broad range of viscosi-
ties at the rates and purities specified by the
EPA. if the inlet can be made to 'track' the water
surface. Analyses were conducted to design a
catamaran vessel suitable for mounting the Oil
Pickup Unit (OPU) and also providing the
requisite surface following performance. Vessel
response analyses showed that the required
surface following behavior cannot be provided
by the catamaran itself, but can be achieved by
floating the OPU and decoupling this assembly
from the vessel in heave and surge.

Experimental studies were undertaken to ex-
amine the flow in long vertical conduits with
particular reference to the design of storm
water drop shafts. A distinguishing charac-
teristic of such flow is the potential cavitation
regime Its existence depends upon the design
of the structure. The cavitation regime will
develop when the conduit is sufficiently long
and the head sufficiently large. It can also be
generated at a lower head if a control valve is
installed in the supply line so that the net head
can be negative. If a small amount of air is in-
troduced into the system, the cavitation region
is eliminated, the pressure gradient is more
uniform, and the flow consists of a uniform mix-
ture of air and water. (Author)

Investment decisions in control technology for
environmental management are similar to those
in other areas of public finance. These deci-
sions, which may include the decision to con-
struct a water or wastewater treatment system
or an incinerator, depend on adequate financial
support, which means not only avaialbility of
money in sufficient quantity, but also at the time
when needed. A mathematical model, incor-
porating borrowing and lending variables, has
been structured to provide an efficient method
of studying the problem. The model formulation
assumes that investment decisions for control
technology can be separated into a total
operating and capital cost decision and an in-
vestment cost decision. These Costs are
minimized in 2 stages. The first stage uses a
fixed-charge algorithm and the second stage, a
linear programming algorithm. (Author)

The project studied involved the possible
agricultural benefits and environmental
changes that would result from applying
digested sewage sludge liquid to field crops. In
addition, criteria are developed that can be
used in selecting sites for this method of sludge
disposal. The report discusses the progress
made after three year's work. Since agronomic
field studies require a minimum of three years
to integrate seasonal effects with measured
parameters, the longer the duration of a field
study, the greater the confidence level of the
results. Therefore, only one year of data--
detailed climatic measurements, runoff and
drain water analyses, and sludge applications-
were collected from a lysimeter facility.

potential for reducing the container solid waste
problem. The report is divided into three parts.
In the first a method of coating water soluble
silicate glasses with oxide films by chemical
vapor depositon was studied. Coatings of silica,
titania. and other oxides were readily obtained
by pyrolytic decomposition of organic ester
vapors. The coating techniques are described.
In the next section, a method for mechanically
testing sodium silicate glass by the bending test
is presented. Finally, the reate of reaction of
soluble silicate glasses with aqueous solutions
was studied. The apparati used in studying the
rate of reaction is described.

The study is an in-depth look at the recycling of
ferrous solid waste. The study examines: the
sources, types, and quantities of iron and steel
scrap; the markets for iron and steel scrap; the
functions of the ferrous scrap processing in-
dustry; and the technology of iron and steel
scrap utilization. Problems inhibiting greater
use of iron and steel scrap are identified and
discussed, and recommendations are made for
solutions to these problems. A survey of the fer-
rous scrap industry was the basis for many of
the identified problems and proposed solu-
tions, and also provided numerous statistics on
the ferrous scrap industry. (Author)

The report documents some initial experiments
in this country on the high-pressure compac-
tion of municipally collected solid wastes. The
application of high-pressure compaction has
been examined experimentally and theoreti-
cally in quite some detail and appears to be a
process which can be applied on a production
scale with many attendant advantages. It has
been demonstrated that stable bales can be
produced by the high-pressure (2000 to 3500
psi applied pressure) compaction of loose and
sacked household refuse; and that these bales
can successfully survive the handling and
shocks associated with comparatively long (up
to 700 miles) rail-haul trips.

The available literature was surveyed, and sam-
ples of all known additives procured. Each ad-
ditive was analyzed for elemental composition
to provide a basis for testing. A standard
screening procedure was established to test the
effect of each additive on emissions from fuel
oil combustion. Screening tests were carried
out on all distillate soluble additives. The most
promising additives were then subjected to a
rigorous examination. Fuel additives are not a
promising way of reducing air pollution from
distillate oil combustion. A majority o< the addi-
tives tested had no beneficial effects on air pol-
lutant emissions; in fact, some additives even
increased total paniculate and NO(x) emis-
sions. Several of the metal-containing addi-
tives, e.g., Ferrocene, CI-2, and.Fuelco SO3,
reduced total particulate emissions; however,
the unknown toxicity of new emissions they
create makes their use questionable Further.
there is evidence that for distillate oils, burner
modifications are a more suitable route to air
pollution control. (Author)

Suspended solids removal is a necessary con-

Solids which must be removed may be those
present in the raw sewage, those added by
some form of recycle within the plant, or those
created by biological or chemical actions dur-
ing treatment. Suspended solids, unlike many
other pollutants, vary widely in their chemical
and physical makeup. Tertiary removal -of
suspended solids from a waste stream may also
accomplish an increase in organic removal
necessary to meet effluent standards due to the
organic nature of some of the solids. The

The report is divided into three sections In the
first a practical sensitive quantitative method
for the isolation and enumeration of Salmonel-
lae and pyocyanogenic Ps. aeruginosa from
wastewaters, treatment effluents, streams,
stormwater runoff, and sludges, in all seasons
of the year, is described. Next the persistence of
Salmonella species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,

types of municipal sludges is reported. In the
last report it is suggested that a more complete
and useful surveillance of salmonellosis for
large urban areas can be attained by analysis

economic analysis, it was proposed to treat the
raw sludge by lime addition to a pH 11.5 This
raw sludge was produced by clarification of raw
wastewater that has been coagulated with
either aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride. The
limed sludge was then drained on sand drying
beds, and the cake either given to local farmers
or placed in a sanitary landfill. This process
replaces the need for biological digestion. Two
factors, that of a voluminous and dilute sludge,

The removal of nitrogen from tile drainage by
means of bacterial reduction was investigated.
The major nitrogen form in tile drainage is
nitrate (approximately 98 percent). The process
required that an organic carbon source be
added to the waste to accomplish reduction of
the nitrogen. The bacterial process was used in
two configurations, anaerobic filters and
anaerobic deep ponds. The projected costs for
both processes are approximately 90 dollars
per million gallons.

A process has been developed for treatment
and removal of major pollutants in surface
streams of Appalacnia caused by acid mine
drainage The raw water is neutralized with
sodium bicarbonate to precipitate iron and alu-
minum, followed by cation exchange to remove
sulfate. Barium is eluted from the exchange
resin and reacts with sulfate in the water to
form a precipitate. Barium is recovered from
the precipitate and is processed to rechange
the exchange resin. The water is further treated
to remove hydrogen sulfide by conversion to
sulfur as a saleable byproduct. The process
minimizes the cost of sludge and waste
disposal while offering a product water meeting
the highest interstate water quality standards.
Treatment costs are given. (Author)

Disposal of concentrated wastes is a problem of
increasing concern. Some of the most complex
wastes are those associated with petroleum.
Extracting, transporting, refining, and selling of
the petroleum porducts are operations with
potential for polluting water. Dredging oil
sludge from channels and harbors may pollute
lakes and streams when the sludge is dumped
back into open water. The paper discusses land
spreading operations for oily waste disposal by
three refineries.

Many pollution experts agree that the limiting
operation in a modern sewage disposal plant is
the disposal of the solids which accumulate as
a result of various separation procedures. Of
particular concern is the disposition of ac-
tivated sludge which is the solids residue
resulting from aerobic digestion of soluble or
non-settleable solids in sewage. The paper
describes the results of a research program in
which techniques of hydrolysis and solubiliza-
tion of meat scrap to the solubilization of ac-
tivated sludge is described using SO2 as the

Three methods to remove nitrates from the
agricultural drainage water from the San Luis
Service Area in California were investigated
One method was a theoretical evaluation of
nitrate removal by algae during the transport of
the drainage water in the San Luis Canal or dur-
ing storage in the Kesterson Reservoir. The
other methods were designed to promote
anaerobic bacterial denitrification in a continu-
ous flow of drainage water. One method used
barley straw and the other water grass grown in
shallow ponds as the carbon energy source.
Under optimum conditions both of these last
two methods reduced the nitrate -N concentra-
tion of the drainage water from a maximum of
about 30 mg/l to less than 2 mg/l. The cost of
nitrogen removal by the shallow grass plot
systems, the most economical and feasible
method investigated, was estimated.

Analytical techniques are developed to
describe the mixing between two fluids of dif-
ferent density in a confined aquifer, in which
one fluid is introduced to the aquifer by well
recharge. The immiscible displacement
process in both linear and radial flows is
analyzed and the effects of longitudinal and
lateral dispersion are included using a bounda-
ry layer approximation. The theoretical results
demonstrate the effect of hydrodynamic disper-
sion in retarding gravity segregation due to
density differences. The theoretical results are
compared with observations of aquifer mixing
in linear and radial flow laboratory models. Dur-
ing recharge excellent agreement between the
theoretical predictions and experimental
results is found and the predicted retarding ef-
fects of longitudinal dispersion are verified.
During withdrawal some systematic differences
between the theory and observation are noted.

Flushing of a lake means reducing the pollution
by clean inflow with an equivalent outflow of
polluted water, a process by which clean water
both displaces and mixes with the polluted
water. Parameters influencing the effectiveness
of the cleansing stream, most important and
manageable under laboratory conditions, were
investigated. Parameters studied were: inlet
velocity, inlet width, depth, and basin shape.
Testing was conducted on two depths, two inlet
widths, three inlet velocities, and four elliptical
basins. Primary purpose of the project was to
evaluate the various parameters to determine
their influences on flushing efficiency, and
develop prediction equations based on
geometric and flow characteristics of the
systems tested. Analyses were completed to
develop a test program, analyze the system for
comparison with experimental results, and
develop prediction equations which incor-
porate analytical and experimental results of
the study.

Small quantities of crude oil (0.9 milliliters in
100 liters of seawater) interfere with sortie
specific, possibly chemosensory, behavior of
the lobster, Homarus americanus. Timing of
their feeding behavior showed that the delay
period between noticing food and going after it
doubles when oil was added. The results in-
dicate that small quantities of oil mixed into
seawater constitute a noxious, bad smell in the
lobsters environment depressing his appetite
and chemical excitability. Chemical analyses
showed that before the addition of oil a great
quantity of lipids was present in the test
aquaria. When the water was brought in contact
with an oil slick, the lipid concentration
dropped considerably. The same effect was
seen in the alkane and the alkene-aromatic
hydrocarbon fractions. The fate of oil in sea
water followed the usual degradation pattern.

A mathematical model of an acid mine drainage
system has been developed for underground
mines. The model relates the rate of acid forma-
tion to the rate of pollution discharge from the
system. The calculational model was developed
using a digital computer to simulate an existing
mine as the sum of many micro scale mines.
The input to the model is a physical and chemi-
cal description of the system. Day-to-day simu-
lation requires data on temperature, rainfall,
and oxygen concentration at the exposed coal
face. The output of the model is estimates of
daily acid load and drainage flow. The calcula-
tional model was based on a carefully
described physical model so that a predictive
model can be constructed with little or no ex-
perimental data. However, methods for con-
structing the computational model are given
which can use the field data available to in-
crease the reliability.

Laboratory bioassay experiments were per-

agricultural waste water before and after the
waste water had been subjected to two different
nitrogen removal processes. The waste waters
were added in various percentages to San
Joaquin River Delta water for bioassay. The
algal growth throughout time was monitored by
chlorophyll fluorescence techniques. The
fluorescence measurements showed
logarithmic growth similar to the type usually
observed in the Delta Water over the vernal
growth period. The laboratory experiments
gave positive statistical evidence that the un-
treated agricultural waste water would promote
substantial algal growth above that of the San
Joaquin River controls. (Author)

in clay and 25 feet in sand. Depth of penetration
is governed by conductivity and dielectric con-
stant. Water content influences these soil
parameters: an increase in water content
decreases penetration. The penetrability of the
soil determines the maximum depth at which
pipes can be detected. A break in the pipe can
be detected by the saturated soil around the
break. Limits of penetration have not been
reached: work is being done to determine em-
pirical standards of system performance on a
wide variety of soils. Since better information
yields better cost estimates for designing
sewage collection systems, the advantages of
the radar system are apparent. (WRSIC Ab-

The magnitude of two phosphorus removal

precipitation with calcium, in activated sludge
Systems were investigated using synthetic sub-
strates representative of actual wastewaters.
Using completely mixed continuous flow
laboratory activated sludge units with operating
conditions that precluded significant precipita-
tion of phosphorus, normal growth defined as
constant 85 to 90 percent carbon removal was
studied. An alkaline phosphatase bioassay
verified qualitatively the normal growth
phosphorus requirement and storage zone, but
did not define the upper limit of the saturation
zone. Alkalinity was implicated to exert both a
kinetic effect as well as an effect on residual
soluble phosphorus in calcium-phosphorus
systems. The presence of soluble organics also
was shown to be inhibiting with increasing con-
centrations.

Return from the sediment may occur not only
by simple chemical exchange, but by the irriga-
tion of sediment by organisms, particularly
worms. If sediments are irrigated by worms, the
surface may be aerobic but the faeces are
derived from the anaerobic layer, so that their
deposition on the surface may release nutrients
into the water column. To study this, the
authors assessed the production of worm tis-
sue in Toronto Harbour and in the trophic
gradient of the Bay of Ouinte (which strongly
resembles the whole Lake Erie system of three
basins). The primary aim was to evaluate the
recovery of potential nutrients from sediment
via the production of sludge worm tissue and
the rate of destruction of organic matter in sedi-
ment via assimilation by worms (production
plus respiration).

Buffer strips have been proposed as a method
for controlling temperature changes in streams
adjacent to clear-cuttings. Nine small mountain
streams in Oregon's Coast Range and Cascade
Mountains were studied to determine the in-
fluence of buffer strips on water temperature.
Timber volume in the strip, strip width, and
canopy density perpendicular to the sun's rays
were compared to the effectiveness of the strip
in controlling temperature change. This effec-
tiveness was not well correlated with timber
volume or strip width. The density of the canopy
in the path of the sun is the most important
buffer strip characteristic for water temperature
control. A method for measuring the density of
the canopy in the path of the sun is described.

The investigation was undertaken with the ob-

ment processes and determining whether in-
creasing the rapidity of the initial mixing could
improve process performance. The principal
process considered was alum coagulation-floc-
culation of a kaolin suspension in water. The in-
itial mixing device under consideration was a
biplane, square-mesh grid of bars placed in a
turbulent flow, tubular reactor; a 2-in pipe was
used in the present studies. Studies were made
using a single electrode 'point' conductivity
probe and NaCI solution tracer to determine
what parameters affect the mixing which oc-
curs in the turbulaent flow field downstream
from a grid, and from these results a general
mixing model was developed. The relation
between initial mixing and process per-
formance was also studied. (Author)

The report describes a rapid method for deter-
mining 85Kr in environmental air samples.
Equipment and procedure used to separate
85Kr from environmental air samples for liquid
scintillation counting are described in detail.
The procedure employs charcoal and molecu-
lar sieve cold traps, calcium sulphate, ascarite
(NaOH preparation) and a titanium furnace
(900C) for the removal and separation of other
air constituents from krypton. Air samples are
spiked with 83Kr(m) to provide a direct deter-
mination of the krypton separation yield. One
cubic metre of air can be processed in about 4 h
with 80 to 90% krypton recovery resulting in a 2-
sigma error of the 85Kr concentration of less
than 10%. The procedure is well suited to moni-
toring environmental air samples with respect
to nuclear facilities, such as nuclear reactors
and fuel reprocessing plants.

Assessment of the total hazard associated with
85Kr exposure must include evaluation ol the
dose from gas in the body tissues which, in
turn, requires detailed knowledge of its in vivo
kinetic behavior. Study of kinetic behavior is
the evaluation of the capacity of a tissue or ag-
gregate of tissues to hold 85Kr and the rate(s) at
which it will reach that capacity during an expo-
sure or, alternately, give up the krypton when
the exposure ceases. A common measure of the
capacity of the tissue for SSKr is the partition
coefficient which is the ratio of the equilibrium
concentration (volumetric) of 85Kr in the tissue
to the concentration in the air being breathed.
The data reported together with the observa-
tions of Tobias et al and Hytten indicate that
time required for saturation and desaturation
may be directly correlated to weight of the
animal.

values for all three radionuclides were very low,
ranging from .000,001 to .001 percent. Nitrogen
and potassium fertilizers increased the uptake
of promethium-147 by oat plants from an Amite
soil. Because the amount of cerium-144,

from these radionuclides will probably be

The body burdens of two tritium luminous dial

termination of work involving occupational ex-
posure to tritium. In both cases, an intermediate
(Ti) and a long (T1) half-life component could
be observed. One individual exhibited a Ti of 21
days and a TI of 280 days, whereas the second
worker showed a Ti of 33 days and a TI of 2020
days. A surprisingly high seasonal dependence
of tritium body water concentration was ob-
served in one case. This resulted in an increase
of tritium concentration in body water in winter
as compared to the previous summer. (Author)

achieve the two operational modes. The
completely-mixed system was operated at 5
constant detention times ranging from 5 hours
to 1 hour. The break in treatment efficiency (a
marked drop below 90% removal of soluble
BODS) occurred between 1 and 2 hours. No
marked difference in treatment efficiency was
found between the two modes. A set of shock
loads were applied in parallel and separately to
each mode. The complete-mix system did show
an advantage over plug-flow under shock load
conditions at a short detention time (1.5 hours).
A 500 gpd completely-mixed pilot plant was
successful in duplicating the full scale organic

The need for adequate monitoring techniques
led to the investigation of many possible moni-

the detection of very low energy radiations have
necessarily complicated basic detection
devices, and individual specifications are,
therefore, often necessary for each particular
monitoring requirement. Practical monitors can
be separated essentially into two groups. One
group consists of monitors that render constant
or immediate indications of activities within the
monitored media. The second includes tritium
collection systems that use water vapor collec-

The report discusses these two types of moni-

Two photographic methods for leak testing
sealed sources of radium 226 have been docu-
mented. Both procedures use high-speed
photographic emulsion to detect light
produced by interactions between a ZnS screen
and alpha particles emitted by leaking sources.
The Polaroid Lane 4x5 film system, which in-
cludes individually packeted photographic film
and film holder, is used in these methods.

The study attacks one of the problems inherent
in disposing of refuse on land: the ever-present
danger that-unless properly engineered in a
sanitary landfill—the wastes will adversely effect
ground-water resources. Hydrogeologic and
water quality studies of five landfills in
northeastern Illinois were carried out. The dis-
tribution and concentration of dissolved solids
in the vicinity of four of these landfills was
found to be controlled by the configuration of
the ground-water flow system. The major fac-
tors influencing the attenuation of the dissolved
solids appear to be the particle size of the earth
materials through which they move and the
distance that they move.

The objectives of the research were as follows:
To identify waste plastic/coreactant reaction
products with potential commerciai value; To
idenitify waste plastic/air combustion products
that are potential air pollutants; and To con-
ceive of and provide technical and economic
evaluations for chemical processes using waste
plastics as raw materials. The report presents
the approaches, methods, and results of these
various phases of the technical-economic
analyses performed on waste plastic utilization
systems. The general approach and analytical
tools employed are presented. The determina-
tion of the equilibrium species distributions and
reaction path analyses are given. The kinetic
analyses and preliminary design and economic
analyses are also discussed. The conclusions
and recommendations include not only the
proposed selection of processes for further ap-
plication, but also other implications, for air
pollution.

Synthetic plastics as polyethylene do not
decompose when disposed of in landfills and
can cause air pollution problems if burned. An
efficient, safe, and economical method for the
disposal of wastes as polyethylene is needed. A
feasibility study directed toward these objec-
tives and designed to determine the applicabili-
ty of selected approaches to the problem of
polyethylene disposal has been conducted.
Particular attention was given to chemical
methods of modifying the polyolefin and the ef-
fects of the treatments on the mechanical, ther-
mal, and biological properties of the polymer.
One of the methods discussed that has ap-
peared particularly attractive involves the ox-
idative degradation and concomitant nitration
of polyethylene by exposure to red fuming nitric
acid, or binary systems including HN03, as a
constituent.

There were two aspects to this study: To
develop a descriptive model of the plastics
cycle; and. To develop complete strategies for
promoting the recycling and reuse of plastics.
The study is reported in five parts. Part I con-
tains a discussion of the technology of plastics,
which provides the basis for understanding the
technical problems of recycling. Part II
describes the economics of the plastics indus-
try needed to develop and assess the strategies
for recycling plastics and discusses the market
for both virgin and secondary materials. Part III
describes in detail the entire plastics cycle as
they are manufactured, starting from
petrochemicals until they become a plastic end
product in the hands of the consumer. Part IV
provides an analysis of the existing state of the
art of methods for isolating plastics from the
solid waste stream and of applications for the
scrap material. In Part V the strategies for
promoting the recycling and reuse of plastics
are developed and described in detail.

A screening study was conducted to evaluate
the capability of aqueous solutions to scrub
NO(x) from the flue gases emitted by stationary
power plants fired with fossil fuels. The key
findings discussed include: The addition of
NO2 to flue gas to improve NO(x) (mostly NO)
absorption does not appear promising; Sulfite
solutions and slurries are efficient NO2-SO2 ab-
sorbents; Calcium magnesium, and zinc
hydroxide slurries are effective NO2-SO2 ab-
sorbers; Limestone (CaC03) is also a good NO-
S02 absorbent for the same reasons as for
Ca(OH)2; NO2 scrubbing is enhanced by
removing oxygen from the flue gas or by adding
an anti-oxidant such as hydroquinone to the
scrubbing solution; Sulfide solutions are excel-
lent N02 and S02 absorbers but do generate a
small amount of NO; and Part of the absorbed
S02 is oxidized to sulfate. Combined NO(x)-
SO(x) scrubbing seems feasible using any of
several hydroxide or carbonate systems pro-
vided NO(x) (NO) can be efficiently oxidized to
NO2 upstream from the scrubbing unit.

was located at Johnson City, Tennessee. During
the period, an average of 34 tons of raw refuse
per day was processed. Investigations of the
potential hazard to health from pathogenic or-
ganisms in compost were conducted. Sewage
sludge, cow manure, paunch manure, aged
poultry manure, animal blood, and pepper
canning wastes in varying amounts were all
successfully composted. Because production
of an acceptable grade of compost was
delayed, insufficient data was available to as-
sess the agricultural value of the compost
produced.

The Souris River is an international stream
which originates in the Province of
Saskatchewan, Canada. The river flows
southward from Canada into North Dakota and
then, after making a large horseshoe bend.
flows northward into the Canadian Province of
Manitoba. Water uses in the United States af-
fect both the quality and quantity of water
released to Canada. Since the Basin's water
supply is not adequate to meet the needs of all
potential water uses, conflicts exist over priority
of water use. Large variations in annual runoff
compound these water use conflicts. Waste
sources include untreated and inadequately
treated municipal and industrial wastes.
agricultural wastes, urban runoff, rural runoff,
and several large wildlife refuges. The primary
objectives of the report are to: Assess the im-
pact of municipal and industrial waste
discharges on water quality: Define water quali-
ty conditions in the wildlife refuge areas; and
Provide background data on inorganic con-
stituents in the 'river system as a basis for

While extensive measurements have been and
are being made of outdoor pollution, very few
data have been gathered on indoor pollution.
The data that are available are compiled and
analyzed in the report. Based on a review of the
literature, it was possible to infer relationships
between indoor and outdoor pollution and to
identify factors that affect these relationships.
The relationships identified must be considered
tentative. Except for bacteria and perhaps, for
fungus spores, indoor pollution levels appear to
be controlled primarily by outdoor concentra-
tions. Other factors that influence indoor pollu-
tion levels include internal activities and pollu-
tant generation, atmospheric conditions and
natural ventilation, time, location, type of build-
ing, and air conditioning and filtration systems.
Indoor concentrations of pollen and reactive
gases, expressed as a percentage of outdoor
concentrations, decrease with increasing out-
door concentrations. Bacterial concentrations
i ndoors appear to be more closely related to the
presence and activities of people inside than to
outdoor concentrations.

A free floating endless belt oil skimmer was
developed as a means of recovering spilled oil
from surface waters. The skimmer uses a
unique high efficiency conveyor wringer to
power and wring the belt. The belt is designed
to float on the water surface and responds
rapidly to the shape of the waves, thereby max-
imizing oil-sorbent contact time. Evaluation of
the skimmer was conducted in a 60 foot diame-
ter annular test tank under the conditions of
slightly progressive waves having an amplitude
of two feet. One foot wide neoprene backed
polyurethane foams were utilized as the sor-
bent material. The experimental results indicate
that the oil pickup rates will vary with the belt
speed, oil slick thickness and belt porosities.
The recovered liquid contained approximately
50-70°o oil at 010 inch slick thickness. A con-
ceptual design of a five foot wide boat mounted
skimmer capable of harvesting approximately 5
acres per hour of spilled oil is presented.

into the ground water. Grand Valley in the
upper Colorado River Basin was used as a
model. A detailed evaluation of the necessary
hydrologic and salinity parameters in the prin-
cipal demonstration area was made. A hydro-
salinity model has been prepared, which has al-
lowed the itemizing of the various segments of
the dual flow system into water and salt
budgets for the periods prior to and immediate-
ly after the construction of the linings. In addi-
tion, the results were employed to derive some
generalized valley-wide water and salt budgets.
The salinity control benefits exceeded the costs

Storm rainfall and runoff data were assembled
from 10 urban basins in the U.S.A. ranging in
size from 14 acres to 8 sq mi. The British RRL
method of storm drainage design was applied
to the 10 basins. The RRL method considers the
urban basin to be comprised of the paved area
of the basin which is directly connected to the
artificial storm drainage system. In 3 of the 10
basins the RRL procedure was deemed to be
appropriate and suitable for the design of a
storm drainage system within the normal range
of frequency of design rainfall events, from 2 to
20-year events. For greater storms and for cer-
tain cases within this frequency range, the RRL
method breaks down because the runoff com-
ing from the grassed area of the basin is signifi-
cant. If the basin is highly steep or if the paved
area comprises less than 15% of the total basin.
this breakdown occurs. An example is given of
the use of the RRL method in the re-design of
an existing storm drainage system, as is current
practice in Great Britain. (Author)

A new technique has been developed for
establishing firm criteria for health risks as-
sociated with recreational water bodies. The
basis of the method is a mathematical treat-
ment of medical dose-response data in con-
junction with the probability of exposure over a
period of time to a given level of the potentially
harmful factor, such that a quantitative risk can
be assigned to the recreational activity. Once a
public health jurisdiction has established an ac-
ceptable level of risk, curves produced by elec-
tronic data processing equipment can be used

A survey of injury resulting from air pollution
episodes and assessment of their resultant ef-
fect on crop production in 1971 was conducted
in New Jersey. Economic loss to crops due to
air pollution was estimated at 31,183.800. The
survey did not include: indirect losses such as
growers' relocation cost, crop substitution
losses, nor economic losses to forest trees and
ornamental plants and reduction in crop yield
due to invisible injury. Three hundred fifteen re-
ported air pollution incidences were in-
vestigated and documented during the period
of this survey. As a group, vegetables ac-
counted for 51 percent (S598.099) of the total
crop loss. The photochemical pollutants were
responsible for 80 percent of the plant injury
recorded, with ozone contributing about 60
percent and PAN 20 percent of the total. Other
pollutants involved were HCI mist, chlorine gas.

A regional survey of New England was initiated
to determine the economic losses to the
agricultural industry from injury caused by air
pollutants. Eighty-three investigations were
made in 40 countries of the six New England
states. Direct air pollution injury was observed
in 14 countries and accounted for 29 of the re-
ports. Greatest economic losses were observed
on vegetables and agronomic crops as well as
on flowers and foliage plants. Direct economic
losses were estimated to be approximately $1.1
million for the 1971-72 season. As some in-
cidents were not reported during the survey,
continuing annual losses are estimated to be
approximately $1.5 million. (Author)

A feasibility study is presented for the case
where low-sulfur char is produced as a co-
product with low-sulfur producer gas in a
gasification-desulfurization operation with
bituminous coal. Calcium carbonate is used as
a sulfur acceptor. Experimental data are also
presented to support the design feasibility
study. These data show that preoxidized coals
are extremely responsive to desulfurization
under the conditions used in the feasibility
study. It is possible by this method to produce
low-sulfur chars containing 0.5% or less sulfur
content. The economic evaluation shows thai it
is possible to produce low-sulfur char at a
lower Btu cost than would be the case for
complete gasification to low-sulfur producer
gas. The value of the char, however, as a boiler
fuel is less than that of the producer gas itself. It
is, therefore, concluded that there is no clear
incentive to produce low-sulfur char as a co-
product in a gasification-desulfurization opera-
tion. (Author)

method of storm drainage design was applied
to the 10 basins. The RRL method considers the
urban basin to be comprised of the paved area
of the basin which is directly connected to the
artificial storm drainage system. In 3 of the 10
basins the RRL procedure was deemed to be
appropriate and suitable for the design of a
storm drainage system within the normal range
of frequency of design rainfall events, from 2 to
20-year events. For greater storms and for cer-

method breaks down because the runoff com-

An extensive accumulation of data on pressure
sewers and the Grinder Pump (GP) Unit has
been presented and summarized. The grinder
pump is simply a pump which grinds household
sewage and pumps it into the sewer. It has spe-
cial application to hilly areas where conven-
tional gravity sewers are difficult to install. The
report discusses the results of a field demon-
stration of grinder pump units in Albany, New
York. Pressures, water usage, operating time,
overflow occurrences, total number of opera-
tions, simultaneous operations were recorded.
The effectiveness of small, non-metallic pipes
transporting the macerated wastewater under
pressure was also successfully demonstrated.
Grease accumulation did occur. Extensive
chemical sampling proved that the pressure
sewer waste was 100% stronger but contained
50% less contaminants on a gm/capita/day
basis.

Since passage of the original Solid Waste
Disposal Act (Public Law 89-272, Title II) in Oc-
tober 1965, there has been considerable
discussion about what organizational form a
solid waste management system should take.
The purpose of the following paper was to ex-
amine the basic organizational requirements of
solid waste management systems and then re-
late them to the intergovernmental coordina-
tion mechanisms that are available for fulfilling
such requirements within regional configura-
tions. The primary objective was to outline an
'integrated management system' that includes

processes which are capable of producing

Ion exchange processes have this capability.
The investigation was intended to study several
conventional ion exchange processes, using
commercially available materials and to deter-
mine if any of these processes could be used to
produce potable water from acid mine
drainage. The three best systems were found to
be: Strong acid cation exchanger regenerated
with sulfuric acid; Weak base anion exchanger
regenerated with caustic soda; and Weak base
anion exchanger regenerated with sodium
hydroxide and carbon dioxide (modified Desal
process). Treatment plants in three sizes were
designed for each system so that cost estimates

The purpose of the study was to develop
methods for extracting sulfur and iron com-
pounds from pyritic waste materials, producing
a final refuse that is incapable of causing water
pollution, and at the same time, conserving
useful mineral resources. The primary method
under investigation was the Chlorination of
pyrites in non-aqueous solvents. An attractive
feature of the proposed method was its cyclic
nature. Test results indicated that the success-
ful extraction of sulfur and iron compounds de-
pended upon the continuous addition of
chlorine gas to the system. The expected
replacement of chlorine by ferric chloride and
sulfur dichloride was not achieved under condi-
tions of the study. Recycling solvents through
beds of pyrite, elevated temperatures, and
treatment in ultra-violet radiation yielded slight
improvements in reaction rate.

The study deals with the restoration of water
quality of shallow, polluted, and eutrophic
lakes. Dredging and removing of lake bottom
sediments and introducing better quality water
are the restoration measures explored. Van-
couver Lake, Washington, was used as a test
case. Hydrologic, hydrographic, hydrodynamic,
and water quality information, provided by
separate but correlated studies, was combined
with the aid of mathematical simulation models.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) was used as an indicator
of the overall water quality in the system. In ad-
dition to the DO model, the aquatic life model
for computing time-varying levels of
phytpplankton and bacteria was also tried. The
validity of these models was verified with the
actual field data. After verifications of the
models under the existing conditions, they
were used to project and predict the water
quality of Vancouver Lake as will be affected by
dredged lake depths and introduced flows from
the Columbia River.

An aerial reconnaissance study was conducted
along pre-designated segments of the
shoreline of Lake Michigan on September 14,
1972. The purpose of this remote sensing study
was to document the extent of thermal
discharges from the major electric power plants
over the area extending from Muskegon,
Michigan, to Twin Creeks, Wisconsin and to see
if they are following the recommendations of
the Lake Michigan Enforcement Conference.
Nine of the ten plants covered were violating
the recommended 3 F maximum temperature
increase at the distance of 1,000 feet from an
outfall. In addition, six of the power plants were
also violating this permitted 3 F increase even
at a distance of 2.000 feet from the plant
discharge. It was also observed that the thermal
plumes from some sources were overlapping. It
was concluded that the recommendations of
the Lake Michigan Enforcement Conference
are not being met by many sources of thermal
and industrial discharges within the Con-
ference area.

Discussed is a pilot scale study for ammonia
removal at Owosso. Michigan, involving a
physical-chemical wastewater treatment
system consisting of chemical coagulation
(lime to pH 8.8 to 9.4) sedimentation, deep bed
filtration, carbon adsorption, chlorination to
oxidize ammonia, and carbon dechlormation to
remove free chlorine and Chloramines. Am-
monia-nitrogen was removed to any desired
level by thechlorination-dechlorination system.
Complete removal would require a chlorine to
ammonia feed ratio of 9 to 1. The dechlorina-
tion carbon removed free chlorine and also the
Chloramines formed at less-than-breakpoint
operation. There is an initial ammonia-nitrogen
breakthrough when using fresh dechlorination
carbon which is attributed to acclimation rather
than continuous leakage. An hypothesis
describing chloramine removal is presented

Eleven mill tailing samples from locations

tested for their effectiveness in removal of dis-
solved contaminants from mine drainage. The
average capacity of the tailings tested was 9.8
mg of iron per gram of tailing with a range of
capacities from 6 mg/g to 15 mg/g. From these
studies it was concluded that for almost all tail-
ing samples, removal was accomplished mainly
due to hydrolytic adsorption of metal ions with
a small contribution due to the inherent basicity
of the tailing. In the other case, removal oc-
curred via reaction with calcareous com-
ponents of the sample. Continuous column, or
stationary bed tests, in the laboratory and in the
field were not nearly as effective. It appears that
for effective removal a stirred tank reactor will
be required.

Research was conducted to characterize

stream hydraulic properties and to develop
procedures for evaluating the effects of pollu-

was used in the field studies for measurement
of reaeration. Not only have these studies incor-
porated a wide range of hydraulic features, but
also, the range of BOD's and temperatures en-
countered was large. Tests of observed vs. pre-
dicted values of K(2) have shown that none of
the available models is capable of providing de-
pendable predictions of stream reaeration
capacity, especially under highly turbulent flow
conditions. A new model was derived that ex-
plains the reaeration capacity of a stream in
terms of the rate of energy dissipation and
furthermore, provides dependable predictions.

A combined sewer overflow regulator which by
induced hydraulic conditions separates settlea-
ble and floatable solids from the overflow was
studied. A mathematical model was also
prepared to determine a basis for design. The
study also used a hydraulic model to determine
swirl concentrator configurations, flow patterns
and settleable solid removal efficiency. Excel-
lent correlation was found between the two stu-
dies. It was found that at flows which simulate
American experience a vortex flow pattern was
not effective. However, when flows were
restricted, a swirl action occurred and settlea-
ble solids were concentrated in the outflow to
the interceptor in a flow of two to three percent
as compared to the quantity of overflow
through a central weir and down shaft. The
swirl concentrator appears to offer a combined
sewer overflow regulator that effectively regu-
lates the flow and improves the quality of the
overflow, with few moving parts.

An air modulated vacuum oil recovery
technique was developed in an experimental
and engineering design project as a method of
collecting oil spilled on water. A foam is
produced using foaming agents in order to
facilitate the removal. The prototype device
possessing a self contained power source
proved capable of rapidly recovering thin slicks
of oil (less than 4 mm) from water surfaces with
only a small amount of water present (less than
10% by volume) in the recovered oil. The proto-
type recovered oil at the rate of 450 gal/hr for a
thin oil slick. Thicker slicks could be recovered

An investigational program was designed to
provide information essential to evaluate the
impact of pesticides on Lake Michigan. Data
was collected from waters, wastewaters, inver-
tebrate organisms, and fish; analysis of sam-
ples from open water for the purpose of
developing general residue levels was impracti-
cal. Tributary streams to Lake Michigan
discharge chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides
into the lake; urban and fruit-growing areas are
the more significant contributors of pesticides.
The polychlorinated biphenyls are present in
sufficient quantity, with sufficient evidence of
biological impact, to warrant independent
evaluation. Resident fish appear to be the most
reliable biological monitor. The biological mag-
nification of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecti-
cides in sport and commercially valuable fish
species as well as other wild animals are
discussed.

The report is a review of published information
pertaining to the abatement of harmful
drainage from underground coal mines.
Reviewed are new physical approaches to the
problem of interdicting water entry into coal
mines. These include land management for sur-
face and sub-surface water diversion, the ex-
ploitation of water carrying strata, and new
mining methods. Some chemical approaches to
abatement reviewed include the use of silica gel
solutions underground to prevent acid forma-
tion, the use of inert gas in active mines, and
the use of new and the refinement of known
grouting agents.

In order to study pyrite oxidation and resulting
acid mine drainage, a research facility was
developed using a small, long-abandoned drift
mine and six 33 inch diameter auger holes
drilled in order to have comparable, isolated,
experimental 'mines' on a pilot scale basis. Ex-
perimental data and observations of the effect
of oxygen concentration on acid production
have shown the location of major reaction
zones and indicated that bacterial catalysis of
pyrite oxidation is not a significant factor in
production of acid mine drainage. When the
correspondence between holes has been
established, one hole will be used as a
reference mine so that fluctuations due to
hydrologic variations can be separated from ef-
fects of experimentally imposed changes in the
other holes.

that grow naturally in polluted and unpolluted
aquatic and wetland habitats in southwestern
United States. These habitats may be per-
manently or seasonally wet. The basic criterion
for the inclusion of a species is its ability to
withstand a permanent or seasonally long sub-
mersion of at least its root system. This will una-
voidably include some ubiquitous species. In
addition, plants classed as phreatopnytes, or
those plants whose deeply penetrating roots
tap the groundwater, are included. The term
'aquatic' represents one extreme condition of
habitat covered by this research project, and is
used to designate those plants that can attain
their life cycle only in water. The term 'wetland'
incorporates all other conditions of habitat, in-
cluding the other extreme. (Author)

Phosphate removal by sorption on activated

Works. These studies revealed that the ac-

phosphorus removal under conditions similar
to those found in the San Antonio Rilling Plant.
Pilot investigations were made on the amena-
bility of the waste and activated sludge to
phosphate removal. The effects of suspended
solids and dissolved oxygen concentrations in
the mixed liquor, phosphate additions, oxygen
demanding substrate additions, and the addi-
tion of aluminum, iron, and magnesium salts on
phosphate removal were determined and found
to agree with previous information. The waste
and sludge were very amenable to phosphate

A detail study of the mechanisms and kinetics
of the chemical reactions responsible for acid
mine drainage is discussed. The mineralogies!
features of the solid phase reactant (pyrite) that
determine its reactivity were described. The
rate-limiting reactions and variables affecting
the rate of these reactions were identified. It
was found that two basic oxidation modes are
important: oxygenation. in which oxygen is the
immediate oxidizing agent; and ferric ion (or
microbiologically catalyzed) oxidation, in which
ferric ions are the oxidants. From a knowledge
of the dissolved oxygen, ferric/ferrous ratio,
and total iron ion content at the reaction site,
the reaction regime can be determined. Kinetic
equations were derived for both reaction
modes. From these basic relationships the ox-
idation rate in real pyritic systems can be accu-
rately predicated when conditions at the reac-
tion site are known. (Author)

The primary purpose of the biological studies in
connection with the Ohio River Pollution Sur-
vey was twofold; first, to determine present
biological conditions as a record to be com-
pared with conditions after future changes due
particularly to remedial measures which may be
instituted, and second, to determine the effect,
particularly of a destructive nature, of present
sources of pollution on stream biological com-
munities and fish life as a guide in judging the
need for corrective measures. Secondary pur-
poses include determination of what biological
and chemical conditions may be typical of dif-
ferent pollutional situations, what factors under
man's control are involved in creating these
situations, and what combinations of these
conditions may be allowed for designated

The determination of 1 to 50 p.p.m. of citric acid
in water and sewage is an adaptation of the
micro method goven by Natelson. The
procedure consists of the bromination and ox-
idation of citric acid in aqueous solution to pen-
tabromacetone which is then extracted with
petroleum ether. An alkaline aqueous extrac-
tion of the ether solvent transfers the pen-
tabromacetone to the water phase. The extrac-
tant buffered at pH 9.2 with borax and contain-
ing the reducing agent thiourea converts the
pentabromacetone to a yellow color complex
which is compared visually with permanent
color standards or spectrophotometrically at a
wave length of 440 millimicrons. (Author)

A study was made which disclosed the need for
water quality control in the study area. This
need was based on the present development
and the projected future population and indus-
trial growth. The existing diversion practices
and water supply make it impractical for the use
of streamflow regulation as a means of water
quality control in the study area at this time.
Therefore, the report makes no recommenda-
tions for the inclusion of storage in Idylwilde
Reservoir for the purpose of streamflow regula-
tion for water quality control. Because of the
complex nature of the water use practices and
water quality problems which exist throughout
much of the South Platte River Basin, a com-
prehensive study of the entire basin is needed
to obtain optimum use of water within the
basin. (Author)

Anaerobic digestion as known by the sanitary
engineer is a unique and hardy process and has
proved to be a powerful tool in the stabilization
of strong organic wastes. Practically any type of
organic matter can be decomposed to methane
and carbon dioxide as the principal end
products with very little in the way of toxic by-
products being produced. The conversion of
simple organic compounds to methane and
carbon dioxide by the methane bacteria is a
vital key to the successful operation of the
process. Unsatisfactory digestion has usually
been attributed to failure of the methane bac-
teria to process the simple organic compounds.
The anaerobic process is studied and deter-
mine the growth requirements and synthesis
relationships is studied in order to more fully
utilize the excellent potentialities of anaerobic
digestion as an organic waste treatment
method and also to place process design on a
stronger scientific basis.

The continued' effort of Providence, Rhode
Island to maintain desirable air quality through
an effective air pollution control program
resulted in a study of existing and potential
levels of pollution. The study was in two equal
periods, July 31 through August 18 and October
31 through November 17,1961. Air samples col-
lected at a centrally located downtown station
were analyzed for soiling, suspended particu-
-lates. dustfall. sulfur dioxide, oxides of
nitrogen, total oxidants, and carbon monoxide.
Meteorological data for the sampling periods
were analyzed and then compared with long-
term data for the respective sampling periods.

A two-month (Jan. 16 - March 15, 1956) study
was undertaken to learn the probative value of a
single field sampling station in determining
whether air pollution experienced by a re-
sidential area in one city. St. Bernard, Ohio, was
primarily attributable to a suspected group of
industrial sources in that city, or to sources
within the adjacent village of Elmwood Place
and the surrounding city of Cincinnati. Results
from the sampling station indicated that the
combination of an excess of sulphates, nitrates
and aliphatic hydrocarbons in St. Bernard air
over concentrations elsewhere in Greater Cin-
cinnati, an excess of SO2 and dirt shade as-
sociated with northerly winds, and visual obser-
vation of the travel of plumes from suspected
sources confirm the suspicion that the alleged
group of industrial sources are the cause of
complaints of odorous air pollution in certain
residential areas of St. Bernard. This study
shows that it is possible to draw this limited
type of conclusion from a short term study
using a single air sampling station.

The report reviews published information con-
cerning the abatement of harmful drainage
from underground coal mines. Although much
has been written on mine water management,
very little literature is available on the specific
area of preventing the formation of acid water.
The references used in this report include min-
ing engineering and hydrology studies and
spans the period of time when water quantity
rather than quality was the major consideration.
Physical approaches to the problem of inter-
dicting water entry into coal mines, beyond
removal and treatment, are (a) land manage-
ment for surface and sub-surface water diver-
sion, (b) the exploitation of water carrying
strata, and (c) new mining methods. Chemical
approaches to abatement include (a) the use of
silica gel solutions underground to prevent acid
formation, (b) the use of inert gas in active
mines and (c) the use of new and the refinement
of known grouting agents. (Author)

A cooperative water quality study between the
Federal Water Pollution Control Administration
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was in-
itiated in June 1964. The surveys, conducted on
a monthly schedule, were aimed at determining
any significant changes in water quality at-
tributed to the effects of storage or the seasonal
variance of reservoir operations. The report
contains a description of methods and
procedures employed and the raw data col-

Chemical treatment of wastes, despite early in-

Biological treatment is far superior to chemical
treatment for the removal of soluble organic
matter. However, in recent years there has been
a revived interest in special applications of
chemical methods, especially for processing

Surveys have shown that many small communi-
ties do not follow sanitary refuse practices.
There are many reasons why these communi-
ties have not taken steps to protect the health
and welfare of their citizens. Predominant
among the basic causes, however, is the belief
that adequate service is too expensive, and a
lack of information on how to establish and
operate a satisfactory system. It has been
clearly demonstrated many times, that urban fly
control and rodent control must be based upon
adequate storage, collection, and disposal of
community wastes. A practical refuse control
program is within the means of any community.
This publication proposes to describe certain
factors which needs to be considered in
establishing sanitary refuse practices, and to
present representative operational and cost

terpreted to meet local conditions.

An investigation of the mechanism of the for-
mation of phenylpyridinium ion from Konig's
salt has been carried out. The rate of ring clo-
sure in methanol solution was increased by
added base. An increase of base concentration
increased the rate only up to the point at which
the base concentration was equivalent to the
salt concentration. The effect was independent
of the nature of the base. A mechanism was
postulated involving a rate determining valence
isomerization of the free base derived from
Konig's salt to a dihydropyridine. Similar results
were shown to pertain with substituted Konig's
salts. Rates were measured for methyl, methox-
yl, chloride and fluorine containing salts. As a
part of the mechanism a folding and unfolding
process for the triene chain of the salt was
proposed.

According to some investigators, the floccula-
tion mechanism is based on action of chemical
bonding forces. Little emphasis has been
placed on the possibility that the flocculant
might alter the make-up of the double layer
thereby reducing electrostatic repulsive forces
between particles and floes. Behavior of the
calculated electrokinetic or 'Zeta' potential
reflects change in the stability of a suspension.
Flocculation behavior can therefore be corre-
lated with a Zeta potential. One means of esti-
mating the Zeta potential is from microelec-
trophoresis measurements. The report shows
that, by measuring the floe bed depth and total
electrical resistance of the streaming potential
cell, as well as the streaming potential and its
corresponding pressure difference driving
force, a control factor, valid over the potable
water range, can be calculated for each floccu-
lation system investigated. (Author)

Two species of plants (sunflowers and barley)
were grown in water culture at ABS concentra-
tions of 0, 10. and 40 mg/1, and three species
(sunflower, barley, and Lupinus albus) in soil at
ABS concentrations up to 50 mg/1 to determine
the effect of ABS on plant growth and the up-
take of ABS by plants. The major findings of
these experiments were that although ABS
caused severe growth inhibition in water cul-
ture studies (about 70 percent at 10-mg/1 ABS
and almost 100 per cent at 40-mg/1), only one
species (sunflower) of the three species grown
in soil was adversely affected. Furthermore,
plants irrigated with sewage containing from
4.6- to 12.7-mg/1 ABS far surpassed in growth
those irrigated with water, regardless of soil fer-
tilization practices or the addition of up to 15-
mg/1 ABS to sewage. It may be concluded,
therefore, that irrigation with sewage is benefi-
cial to plants in spite of the presence of ABS in
any amount likely to occur in sewage at the
present time. (Author)

The investigation presented in the report deals
with a method for improving the rates of aera-
tion. In order to achieve this objective, small
quantities of some organic substances were in-
troduced in the zone of bubble formation.
These additives decreased bubble coalescence
and improved the rate of transfer because of
the substantial increase in the interfacial sur-
face area. The tests were conducted with n-oc-
tanol. 4-methyl-2-pentanol and heptanoic acid.
At a concentration of 1 ppm the n-octanol and
4-methyl-2-pentanol showed an improvement
in the rate of aeration of 70 per cent over that in
pure water. At a concentration of only 0.5 ppm
n-octanol gave an improvement in the rate of
transfer of 30 per cent. Since the design of the
aeroator and the agent were not optimized, it
may be expected that still better effect could be
obtained in a large scale installation. (Author)

The report considers the taste and odor of
water used in the home. It should be acceptable
to at least 95 per cent of the using population,
regardless of whether the water is newly
pumped from the treatment plant or has been
hung up in a reservoir en route. The effects of
phenols in this problem are discussed.

Radioactive fallout represents nuclear debris
deposited on the ground from the atmosphere.
Although most fallout originates from tests of
nuclear weapons, some may also arise from
specific nuclear operations. Depending on the
method of deposition, fallout is characterized
as dustout—deposition of dry solids; rainout—
carried by rainfall;.or snowout—deposited by
snowfall. The report disucsses the effects of fal-
lout on water, plants and soils.

The scope of the study was to assess the
present and potential state problem and to
delineate specific problem areas, present and
future, through a study of population distribu-
tion and trends, geography and topography,
meteorology and climatology, and existing and
potential sources of pollution. In addition, a
determination was made of available resources
in the State for research and investigation in air
pollution problems. The sources of pollution
which are considered include transportation,
domestic activities, agricultural practices, in-
dustrial activities, refuse disposal, out-of-state
sources, and natural sources. (Author)

Descriptors: ('Santa- Margarita River Basin,

The Santa Margarita Project in -Southern
California will develop approximately between
11,000 and 12,000 acre-feet of water annually
for military, agricultural, industrial, and mu-
nicipal uses. Because the downstream benefi-
cial uses will be few, flow regulation for water
quality control will not be needed below the
project reservoirs. Nutrient-rich waste flows en-
tering the project reservoirs from upstream
developments are predicted to have a signifi-
cant adverse impact on the quality of the im-
pounded waters. The most feasible plan to al-
leviate this problem requires transport of
wastes from the Upper Basin to areas below the
two proposed reservoirs. A water quality
management program for the entire basin is es-
sential to the success of this project and to the
ultimate development of the basin's water
resources. (Author)

The shallow water areas in and near Hampton
Roads have always been one of the most impor-
tant oyster growing sections of the country. The
Roads are also one of the finest natural harbors
on the Atlantic Coast. With the development of
shipping in the area, the port cities of Norfolk,
Portsmouth and Newport News grew and
developed and, in accordance with customs of
the times, discharged their sewage into the
nearest body of water. The waters of the Hamp-
ton Roads area present an excellent example of
the effect of sewage pollution on shellfish
growing waters and the improvement possible
by means of sewage treatment. As the pollution
increased, the use of this great natural resource
had to be subjected to ever-increasing restric-
tions. Finally, with collection and treatment of
sewage, the quality of the waters has so im-
proved that the restriction imposed could be
removed over much of the area.

make recommendations regarding the advisa-

conditions, plankton data can be a useful
parameter in itself; however, its present role is
to lend support to chemical and physical data.
These plankton data have provided almost ten
years of 'badeline' data at certain points in the
Northwest Region. At a later date, if needed,
these data could prove to be of historic value if
and when a comparison needed to be made
between two periods of time to determine water

Identifiers:'Sewage flow rate.
The operation of waste treatment plants is often
complicated by an intermittent flow of toxic
materials, known as shock loads, usually from
industrial sources. These shock loads, contain-
ing high concentrations of pollutants, may
upset biological activity, fail.to be adequately
treated, or disrupt treatment programs. Inter-
mittent dischages may cause such wide fluc-
tuations in concentrations at the plant that
adequate treatment may not be obtained. The
solution usually involves some type of holding
tank.in which an attempt is made to reduce the
extremes of concentration. The report
describes an ideal equalization tank defined as
one which would, following a shock load,
produce a uniform effluent concentration.
Since the mean of the effluent tracer pattern
represents the theoretical detection time, the
effluent pattern sought is horizontal for twice
the theoretical detention time. It is shown that a
triangular shape of constant depth with con-
tinuous discharge would produce ideal
equalization. (Author)

The reduced stability of these reagents under

Extensive abnormal tastes and odors have oc-
curred during the past several years in many
public water supplies using the Ohio River and
its tributaries as sources of water. A visit to a
number of the water plants from Pittsburgh to
Cincinnati in December 1948 confirmed that
most water plants in this section experienced
pronounced taste and odor problems in Oc-
tober and November of 1948. The periodic
recurrence of objectionable tastes and odors in
these waters has caused much concern to con-
sumers and to water works and health officials.
Early in 1949 a study of this problem was in-
stituted by the staff of the Environmental Health
Center at Cincinnati, Ohio. This progress report
is presented as a matter of information con-
cerning the findings of the study to September
1949 which may be of interest to those con-

Among the many modifications of the Winkler
method advocated for the determination of dis-
solved oxygen in the presence of nitrite.
probably the most widely used is the Rideal-
Stewart method. It has been recognized for
some time, however, that in the presence of or-
ganic matter this modification gives low results.
Noll proposed the use of urea for the destruc-
tion of nitrites but its use requires a long period
of ^contact (approximately twenty-four hours)
and is, therefore, impracticable. Alsterberg sub-
stituted sodium azide for urea and found that
the destruction of nitrite could be accom-
plished in a few minutes. The report presents a

Sanitary solid waste disposal is basic to com-

solid waste disposal which is particularly ap-
plicable to cities and metropolitan areas where
available land for sanitary landfilling is depleted
or not available. With the trend toward expand-
ing urban areas and metropolitan complexes,
incineration may well play an increasingly im-
portant part in solving community solid waste
disposal problems. Thus this study was un-
dertaken to collect data on current engineering
practice in this field to permit better evaluation
of engineering and related needs.

In sharp contrast with wastes of other indus-
tries, radioactive wastes may not be objectiona-
ble as measured by such common charac-
teristics as odors, tastes and biochemical ox-
ygen demand, yet they may be most dangerous
because of levels of radioactive energy and
long periods of activity. Furthermore, their cu-
mulative effects on living organisms are not too
well understood. The intricate and carefully
controlled processing of radioisotopes and
their manyfold uses in production and research
ultimately lead to radioactive wastes in solid,
liquid and gaseous forms; and treatment of a
waste for decontamination in one form may
result in radioactive wastes in another. The re-
port discusses the treatment and disposal of
these wastes.

Although dehydrated foods and tanked water
and oxygen will suffice for space flights of rela-
tively short duration, long-term operations will
be possible only if these necessities can be
derived from the environment within the space
vehicle. Conservation of environmental mass
will make mandatory some type of closed
ecological system kept in operation by a source
of continuous energy. Conceivably, such a
system will involve a carbon-dioxide exchange
between humans and plants, waste reutiltza-
tion, and the growth of plants for human con-
sumption. Several sustenance systems have
been proposed. In each case, attention was
centered on the use of algae as the
photosynthetic component of the closed cycle.
Algae has been used as a dietary supplement,
but no instance has been reported where the
diet of man, or any other terrestrial mammal,
has consisted entirely of algae. In contrast,
higher plants have long been a primary source
of human food material Thus the study reports
the use of higher plants as the photosynthate in
the human sustenance system.

that an average dose of 920 ml. per day of waste

The report describes a survey of the sediment
load on the Yakima Basin east of the Cascades
in Washington. The several reservoirs in the
mountain areas trap much of the sediment
coming from lands given a 'high' sediment
production rating at the upper elevations. Sedi-
ment movement across flat valley lands below
'high' rated slopes and ridges in the lower
watershed appears quite limited. Along the
middle and lower reaches of the Yakima River,
the bulk of the sediment load most probably
comes from bankcutting and reworking of
channel deposits at times of high flow, and
from irrigation return flows during the summer
season.

The number of planktonic algae in the tap water
at Argentia Naval Base was determined.
Dlatomite filtration was proved effective in
removal of algal forms present in the water
received at the naval base power station during
the period of 'the test. Limited tests on small
scale showed efficient removal of algae by
coagulation and sedimentation. Survey of the
naval base water supply from the standpoint of
potability consisted of an inspection of the

Coccidioidomycosis inspired the interest of
only a few investigators in the United States
prior to World War II. Valley fever, desert rhe-
mattsm, or San Joaquin fever — as it was com-
monly known — appeared to be of local and
limited concern. During the war, however, many
military bases were established in the semi-arid
endemic regions of the Southwest and almost
overnight the disease became a major medical
problem confronting the Armed Forces.
Thousands of personnel stationed in the en-
demic areas developed disabling and occa-
sionally fatal cases of Coccidioidomycosis.
Since that time, skin test surveys have shown
that millions of people in this country have been
infected by Coccidioides immitis and that
thousands of new infections occur each year.
Publication of these proceedings makes the
wealth of material presented on the
epidemiology, ecology, immunology, patholo-
gy, diagnosis, and treatment of one of man's
most important mycotic diseases available to
investigators everywhere.

The past few years have seen increased interest
in the determination of bacteriological quality
of shellfish as received at the market. Some
agencies established either official or tentative
working standards by which they could at least
classify the product as received. Possibly the
most notable is the classification system
established by Canada in 1951, which groups
the shellfish into three classes. Acceptable, Ac-
ceptable on Condition, and Rejectable, and al-
lows judgment whether a product should enter
or be tolerated in the consuming area. Because
of the success of Canada with this scheme, the
method was accepted in principle at the Shellf-

of extending the coliform MPN limit in the Ac-
ceptable class from 2.400 to 16,000. The bac-

dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DAB) reagent in
concentrated sulfuric acid has been reported,
elsewhere. Thissame reagent also reacts with
liquid olefins to form similar products also hav-
ing strong absorption bands in the 500 micro
meter region. The liquid olefins have been stu-
died using somewhat different reaction condi-
tions; consequently the positions, shapes, and
intensities of the absorption bands differ
somewhat from those reported in the vapor
phase studies. Although the work done on
liquid olefins was not as extensive as in the in-
vestigation of oiefin gases and vapors, the
results should have applicability in the identifi-
cation and analysis of small quantities of liquid
olefins. (Author)

The report reviews the water pollution
problems in the St. Lawrence Region, which is
defined to include all streams draining to the St.
Lawrence River from the St. Regis River in New
York on the west to Lake Memphremagog in
Vermont on the east. The major drainage basin
within the Region is that of Lake Champlain.
The discharge of waste from municipalities, in-
dustries, and numerous other sources
degrades water quality and prevents full utiliza-
tion of the natural resources throughout the
Region. The purpose of the report is to
delineate those actions which should be un-
dertaken immediately to prevent further
degradation and to provide enhancement of
these waters. These actions include not only
construction of new or improved municipal and
industrial waste treatment facilities, but also
studies, surveys and research which are needed
to develop sound water quality management
programs for the future. (Author)

Although electrolytic methods of treating waste

effectiveness is in doubt. This study has shown
that an electrolytic treatment of secondary ef-
fluent from an activated sludge plant using lead
dioxide anodes can reduce ABS by 90%, COD
by 80%, and chloride by 90%. This treatment
has little effect on total solids. The cost of treat-
ment will vary between $.90 and $2.42 per 1000
gallons. The plant costs will vary between 9 and
26 million dollars for a 10 mgd plant. These
costs do not include site preparation, roads.
landscaping, fences, land area, lighting, labora-
tories, or other buildings, and the costs depend
on the completeness of the treatment and the
electrical conductivity of the waste water.

A joint study is described which was conducted
to determine the sources of bacterial pollution
in freshwater and estuarine portions of the
Newport River in Carteret County, North
Carolina near Moorehead City. The Newport
River is an important shellfish producing area,
some of which has been closed to shellfish har-
vesting since October 1969. The report is con-
cerned with the levels of bacterial indicators in
the Newport River estuary and tributaries and.
where possible, identification of the probable
sources of the indicators. Conclusions are
drawn and recommendations presented as to
means of controlling bacterial contamination in
the Newport estuary.

Biochemical oxygen demand has been used for
many years as a parameter in the study of water
pollution. It is useful in the design and opera-
tion of waste treatment facilities, in the evalua-
tion of the effects of wastes on streams, and in
the determination of water quality. In the past.
many authorities have considered it the most
important single parameter available. This par-
ticular study was undertaken to fill gaps in the
available information on the precision and ac-
curacy of the oxygen demand determinations.
Through simultaneous analysis of an identical
sample, it is hoped that the common variables
of the methods can be evaluated.

It is the purpose of this paper to discuss indus-

needed to clarify the objectives for stream pol-
lution abatement for the purpose of obtaining
better water quality for domestic and industrial
use. It is axiomatic that a bad tasting or

not conductive to public health, even though it
is bacteriologically safe. The report discusses
progress in the reduction of taste and odor

designed for biological phosphorus removal
within an activated sludge system, was evalu-
ated over a variety of operating conditions dur-
ing its first year of operation. A maximum
phosphorus removal rate 0.026 pounds of
phosphorus removed per pound of COD
removed was measured at one particular cell
residence time. High influent phosphorus con-
centrations, however, reduce the plant's proba-
ble performance to less than 50 percent
phosphorus removal at optimum conditions.
Phosphorus removal apparently occurs
through a combination of metabolic and physi-
cal-chemical mechanisms. The specialized
plant design has caused several severe operat-
ing problems and capital and operating expen-
ditures are significantly greater than reported
for conventional activated sludge treatment.

There are numerous types and combinations of
industrial wastes currently being successfully
treated in municipal sewage treatment plants.
There is reason to believe that this practice will
be continued and expanded. Combined treat-
ment should prove economically sound and in-
dustry will be more inclined to reduce process
wastes when required to pay service charges.
The progressive industrialist recognizes the ex-

where pollution exists and why it exists. It tells
what corrective action has already been in-

The organic materials responsible for color in
water have been isolated from several natural
streams and subjected to comparative chemical
studies. Oxidation with alkaline-CuO was found
to be an effective method of degrading the
complex color molecule to recognizable chemi-
cal structures. Seven degradation products of
natural organic color were identified; namely
vanillin, vanillic acid, syringic acid, catechol,
resorcinol. protocatechuic acid and 3,5-
dihydroxy-benzoic acid. Evaluation of the effect
of the oxidation technique on model com-
pounds coupled with the knowledge of seven
color degradation products resulted in the
proposal of a structural formula for color
producing molecules in water. (Author)

exchange has been utilized with different resins
and in different configurations to remove
nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, and also
organic materials. A strong-base ion exchange
resin, regenerated with chlorides, was the most
successful. Phosphorus and color were
removed by chemical coagulation using liquid

The document studies the phenomenon by
which waste water from a wood processing
plant became stabilized after discharge onto an
adjacent peat bog in Northern Minnesota. It was
thought that peat might be ultimately used for
on site water pollution abatement and an ex-
planation of the mechanism involved should be
determined. Both batch type experiments and
continuous loading studies were conducted to
study aerobic trickle-type filtration processes
using natural peat as the filtering media to
remove phosphates, calcium and reduce B.O.D.
of effluents (both natural and synthetic) and the
use of column and lysimeter studies of natural
peat removed from bogs to study the
mechanisms involved in absorbtion of elements
in sewage and synthetic effluents and deter-
mine loading rates.

The First National Conference on Packaging

1969 in San Francisco. The conference was
structured to promote meaningful dialogue
among top-level officials in the entire packag-

tract participation of the public* at large—all
aimed at generating ideas for and approaches
to the solution.of packaging waste problems.
The conference program focused attention
especially on defining and clarifying the many
problems related to the accumulation and,
disposal of packaging wastes, The conference]
did not result in many specific answers to
packaging wastes problems: However it did for-
mulate the proper questions in terms of ap-

organizations, government agencies and
universities with the capability of cooperatively
developing the means for managing and con-
trolling these packaging wastes. The reports

showed no significant increase in illness
among bathers using such polluted water, then
many of the existing standards might be con-

There are important variants in salt water that
are not encountered by fresh water; sv/immers.
Salt water has a .bactericidal effect which
causes a rapid diminution in the densities of
coliform and other introduced bacteria.
Because of salinity, there is also less inclination
to take water into the mouth and therefore less
likelihood of infection by enteric pathogens
that might be present. The objectives of the
present study were to: Determine the bacterial
quality of coastal waters at the bathing areas;.
Investigate the physical factors which influence
bathing water quality; Collect epidemiological
data on diseases, minor illnesses, and irrita-
tions which might be attributable to bathing,
and correlate them with water quality.

A study of the radioactivity of precipitation in
the Cincinnati area was made for twelve months
beginning March 1953. Seven samples of
precipitation between March 3 and March 18
were tested to obtain the background level in
rainfall. On March 19, two days after the first
weapon test of the Spring Series, a sharp rise in
the beta activity of rain occurred. The radioac-
tivity of subsequent rains during the test period
was usually of greater intensity and varied
widely. Following the weapon tests the activity
of the rain decreased to levels near that of
background. All activity measured was far
below the intensity considered to be hazardous.
The more pertinent findings of the study are
presented. (Author)

This activated sludge plant was subjected to a
heavy seasonal cannery load which increased
the difficulty of operation. The primary objec-
tive was to provide the operating and control
methods to ensure that a high quality effluent
was produced.

From a review of previous work on dispersion in
porous media it is concluded that at present the
tools for solving most practical problems of
mixing of fluids in artificial recharge, waste
water disposal and ground water contamina-
tion are still missing. A numerical method is
proposed for the solution of dispersion
problems in steady three-dimensional potential
Now fields in porous media. The numerical
scheme uses the convective dispersion equa-
tion in curvilinear coordinates consisting of the
flow streamlines and equipotentials. By means
of this equation any problem of dispersion in a
steady three-dimensional potential flow fields
in porous media. The numerical scheme uses
the convective dispersion equation in cur-
vilinear coordinates consisting of the flow
streamlines and equipotentials. By means of
this equation any problem of dispersion in a
steady potential flow field, as well as a special
type of problems with unsteady flow, can be
solved. The numerical scheme is programmed
for a computer and applied to a few simple
cases, for which analytical solutions exist.

totaling 3.47S square miles were found along
the entire sourthern perimeter of Lake
Michigan specifically Milwaukee, Racine and

the Green Bay fly, a fish food organism, and
other detrimental pollution associated condi-

One fundamental principle which waste water
treatment research has brought forth is that op-
timum efficiency in a biological waste treatment
system can be attained only when the microor-
ganisms functioning in the process are pro-
vided with an optimum environment. In the fu-
ture, biological waste treatment systems will be
called upon more to handle wastes of an entire-
ly different nature from that of domestic sewage
sludge. In order to prepare for these future con-
ditions, a basic investigation of cation effects in
the anaerobic waste treatment process was un-
dertaken.

discussed the quantity and quality of the water
required for irrigation, the disposition and use
of this water, the factors influencing the quanti-
ty and quality of the water returned to surface
or ground supplies, and the effects of this
return flow on further use of the supplies in a
complex of multiple uses. The investigation has
shown that the potential water quality problems
involve changes in salinity and hardness, tem-
perature, turbidity, nutrients and aquatic
growths, odor and taste, nitrates, and sanitary
quality. Each of these factors is developed and
documented and the actual and potential ef-
fects on water uses are analyzed. The major
water uses considered are domestic and indus-
trial water supply, fisheries, recreation and ir-

The liquid waste directly resulting from the
wood pyrolysis is known as pyroligneous acid
liquor and is an extremely complex mixture
containing at least 35 identifiable organic com-
pounds, many of which are water soluble. It is a
dark red-brown liquid having a strong acid
reaction and a peculiar empyreumatic odor.
The yield of pyroligneous acid liquor from soft-
wood distillation is 50 to 60 per cent of the
weight of the wood processed. The volume at
the plant amounted to 15,000 gallons per day.
This vyaste has limited uses as a disinfectant,
weed killer, and meat curing agent, but
probably accounts for less than 2 per cent of
the total production. The largest percentage
goes to waste. The only other waste associated
with the destructive distillation process is con-
denser cooling water. (Author)

Over the past 50 years extensive research has
been conducted by universities, equipment
manufacturers, and governmental agencies to
delineate the physical, chemical, and biological
relationships which govern the operation of
wastewater treatment processes. The literature
on the performance of the individual processes
is voluminous but the techniques for calculat-
ing the performance of groups of processes
working together as a system are limited. The
report is an effort to bring together in one com-
putational scheme the significant cost and per-

attempt to calculate the performance and cost
of the system as a whole, based on relation-
ships which have been developed for the
processes individually. (Author)

Studies have shown that it is technically feasi-
ble to reduce 20 mg/l nitrate-nitrogen in
agricultural tile drainage to 2-5 mg/l by either
algae stripping or bacterial denitrification. Con-
ditions necessary for maximum algal growth in-
cluded 8- to 12-inch pond depth, addition of
small amounts of nutrients (CO2, Fe, and P), up
to four hours of daily mixing and detention
times of from 5 to 16 days, depending on the
season. The algae were harvested by coagula-
tion-sedimentation followed by vacuucn filtra-
tion. Bacterial denitrification was tested in
anaerobic deep ponds and filters using
methanol as a carbon source. Required deten-
tion times were on the order of 8 to 50 days for
covered ponds (uncovered ponds were not
suitable) and 1 to 2 hours for filters. Preliminary
cost estimates are given. Laboratory studies in-
dicated that nitrogen removal effectively
lowered the biostimulatory nature of the waste
with respect to algal growth in potential receiv-
ing waters. Two desalination processes were
also studied — electrodialysis and reverse os-
mosis. (Author Modified Abstract)

The correlation between ultraviolet absorbance
at 254 micrometer (A(254 micrometer)) and
total organic carbon (TOC) content has been
determined for a variety of treated and un-
treated water samples. These samples ranged
from municipal secondary sewage effluent and
river water to municipal tap water. High correla-
tion coefficients were obtained for water sam-
ples which contained sufficient organic carbon
to permit accurate TOC determinations. Pre-
dictably, systems with low TOC levels yielded
lower correlation coefficients. However, even
with the lower correlation coefficients, ab-
sorbance measurements can still be used to
monitor a process stream for its organic carbon
content if interferences from turbidity do not
exceed certain limits. (Author)

This report is devoted to the development of
air-use plans for each of the major air pollu-
tants found in the St. Louis urbanized area. An
air-use plan may be thought of as a link
between the pollutant emissions of a communi-
ty and the air-quality goals. The overall function
of these plans is to optimize the use of the air by
considering the amounts, configurations, and
locations of the sources and the dilution capa-
bility of the air basin. The air-use plans may be
used as the basic framework for achieving the
desired air quality by such means as limiting the
emissions from individual sources, limiting the
emissions from sources in certain areas, or
even disallowing new pollutant sources in over-
burdened areas. The air-use plans thus provide
the bases for enacting control regulations and
serve as a guide for future planning activities.

information was desired in order to make a
comparison of the oxygen utilization of the
sewage without the chromium salts with those
of increasing concentrations of chromium salts
in terms of p.p.m. of dissolved oxygen deple-

trivalent chromium has been observed in this
experiment. The trivalent form showed the
more consistent inhibition as the chromium
concentration was increased. The hexavalent
chromium reached a plateau in its effect on the
B.O.D. of sewage when its concentration was
3.0 p.p.m., and further increases to 10 p.p.m.
had no significant effect on the inhibition.

It has been shown that low concentrations

when added to the ordinary dilutions of

dilutions along with previous observations on
the similar dissipation of cresols and phenol in-
dicate that biochemical dissimilation is respon-

The constantly increasing number of communi-

the measurement of fluoride a routine analysis
in many laboratories. Since strict control of the
concentration of fluoride is required, and most
of the currently used methods of analysis are
sensitive to interferences commonly encoun-
tered in surface waters, better methods of anal-
ysis have been sought It was determined that at
least two were worthy of collaborative study:
the fluoride electrode and the ion-exchange
methods. The lanthanum alizarin complexone

removing phosphorous from waste water using
a biological system. The project was initiated
on February 1,1967 and continued through to
May 31.1969. The major activities of this project
were, the design and fabrication of the two 10

Large quantities of formaldehyde are produced
both by combustion sources such as automo-

the atmosphere. It has been suggested that for-
maldehyde is likely to be a factor in eye irrita-
tion by Los Angeles type smog. Consequently,
there is much interest in the accurate
microdetermination of formaldehyde in the at-

The presence of cyanide in water has a signifi-
cant effect upon the biological activity of the
system. Most cyanide compounds are highly
reactive. The analytical procedures used for
their estimation are not specific: therefore the
major problem is that of isolation from inter-
ferences. Although many procedures for the
analysis of cyanide have been published, rela-
tively few of these are satisfactory for general
use in water and industrial waste analysis. The
procedures described were selected because
they are applicable for many types of samples.
The methods were found effective on relatively
pure water, river water, sewage and several in-
dustrial wastes, including those from gas and
coke operation, petroleum refining, and plat-

Descriptors: ("Activated sludge process,
'Microorganism control(Sewage)).
Identifiers: 'Spaerotilus natans.
Since the inception of the activated sludge
process, operating problems have been as-
sociated with the growth of excessive numbers
of filamentous organisms in the sludge. Since
separation of the activated sludge from the ef-
fluent by sedimentation is absolutely essential
for obtaining proper operation of the process,
anything which interfere with the settling of the
sludge produces a serious operating problem.
Any problem with separation of activated
sludge in the secondary settling tank, particu-
larly if large concentrations of sludge solids are
being lost into the effluent, may be called
'bulking.' Most of the descriptions of bulking
ascribe its cause to an overgrowth of a particu-
lar filamentous organism, Sphaerotilus natans.
The objective of the research described was to
provide data which will serve as a basis for
quantitative description of some of the
phenomena which produce an activated sludge
which separated poorly, to determine which
filamentous organisms are associated with
which phenomena, and to identify environmen-
tal factors in the process which could cause the
occurrence of each phenomenon.

The slaughtering and dressing of poultry is one
of the smaller industries but nevertheless a very
important one. Modern development has been
towards centralization of poultry plants. In cer-
tain areas of the country where poultry
processing establishments have concentrated,
the problem of waste disposal is critical. Even
one plant of average size or greater may pose a
serious waste problem in a small town. The
study was undertaken because of the interest
shown by regulatory agencies, industry, con-
sulting engineers, and others concerned with
water use and waste disposal. The primary in-
tent of this report is to show suitable means of
waste water utilization, reduction, and disposal.
Although much of the information has been ob-
tained from the published record, considerable
data have been derived from field investigation
and contacts with many people vitally in-
terested in the poultry industry.

Potato wastes are one of the major pollutional
sources in the State of Idaho. Even with primary
treatment afforded by all processing plants,
these wastes, in combination with other wastes,
have resulted in fish kills and other pollution
problems during periods of low flow in receiv-
ing streams. The potato processors are now
faced with providing secondary treatment for
their wastes and recognize that the cost of
waste treatment must be considered to be part
of the cost of doing business. The objective of
the study is to conclude pilot plant studies on
feasible methods of secondary treatment of
potato processing wastes. Two specific
methods are being investigated: an anaerobic
lagoon followed by a surface-aerated, aerobic
lagoon and an aerobic lagoon system. Due to
late arrival of a surface-aerator the progress re-
port covers only the first system - an anaerobic
lagoon followed by a surface-aerated, aerobic
lagoon.

The report was prepared with several thoughts
in mind other than merely to present a numeri-
cal description of the present and projected
municipal water supply situation in the Wil-
lamette River Basin, Oregon. Factors that in-
fluence development and utilization of the
water resource were examined in an effort to
identify the major influences with this basin.
Many of the factors have been subjects of in-
dividual studies at various times and places
with little success in arriving at a universal for-
mula for applying the influencing factors. Con-
sideration of resource development resulted in
several conclusions applicable to this basin at
the present time.

This report summarizes air quality data
gathered during 1964 and 1965 at nearly 300
stations that gathered bi-weekly samples of
suspended participate matter, about 30 stations
that gathered bi-weekly samples of two gase-
ous pollutants, and another seven stations that
continuously monitored six gaseous pollutants,
suspended participates, and soiling index. This
volume also continues the policy of including
summaries of data contributed by state and
local agencies that operate their own air sam-

suspended particulates and gases, data on
several fractions of the particulate matter are
included herein. These are generally presented
for years earlier that 1964-1965, not only
because the chemical analysis of the particu-
late samples behind the primary weight deter-
mination, but also because expanded laborato-
ry capacity has permitted the analysis of earlier
samples held in reserve.

Because of their large volumes and high odor
intensities the most significant pollution effect
of petroleum refinery process water effluents is
the production oi tastes and odors in receiving
waters. The major organic component of
petroleum refinery wastes is the neutral group,
consisting of hydrocarbons and closely related
compounds which do not form salts with acids
or bases. A large proportion of the odorous or-
ganic components is contained in the neutral
group. The report describes the analysis of the
compounds of this group. In this method, or-
ganic substances are recovered from the water
by adsorption on activated carbon and sub-
sequent elution, then are compared with a sam-
ple of refinery waste materials on the basis of
elemental analysis, physical and chemical pro-
perties, and infrared spectra. -To minimize the
interference of oxygenated compounds, the
method described in this paper utilizes adsorp-
tion chromatography on silica gel to remove
oxygenated substances.

The photochemical reactivities of 20 commer-
cial solvents were measured by experiments
using a smog chamber. Each solvent was stu-
died in a simple system comprising pure air,
nitrogen dioxide, and the individual test solvent
and in a more complex mixture comprising
pure air, propylene, toluene, butane, and
nitrogen dioxide and the test solvent. To the ex-
tent possible, the test solvents were selected to
give groups of chemicals that differed syste-
matically in certain structural features so that
conclusions could be drawn relating structure
and reactivity. Reactivities were evaluated by
measuring dosages of nitrogen dioxide, oxi-
dant, ozone, and PAN (peroxyacetyl nitrate);.
rates of disappearance of nitrogen dioxide, test
solvent, propylene, toluene, and butane; eye ir-
ritation level; and maximum aerosol level.
Some of these measurements varied suffi-
ciently so that they could be used as criteria for
ranking the solvents.

The research is concerned with utilization of
nitrogen in the form of amino acids both singly
and bound together in peptides and proteins.
Such proteinaceous materials comprise the
major nitrogen fraction in domestic sewage
and, hence, studies on optimum conditions
required for high rate biological utilization of
proteins can be useful in the design of more ef-
ficient biological treatment facilities for the
removal of nitrogen from waste waters. The
study was concerned first with the utilization of
individual amino acids as separate entities,
then as components of di- and tri-peptides, and
finally as components of keratins—a protein
type very resistant to degradation. Auxiliary
topics covered are: (a) modification of Burton's
DMA test for use with the mixed cultures of ac-
tivated sludge. (DNA was used as a measure of
new cell production) (b) development of a
graphical digital computer program for evaluat-
ing and presenting Warburg respirometer data
and (c) development of a KWIC program for
retrieval and storage of literature pertinent to
the project.

Research efforts have centered on behavioral

proved to be an analytical tool of great sensitivi-

been recorded in goldfish exposed to Tox-

In the study, 41 participating laboratories were
instructed to analyze two solutions of ethyl
acetate containing different mixtures of Itn-
dane, heptachlor epoxide, DOE, and dieldrin
both before and after dilution with .canned
evaporated milk supplied with the sample. This
was done to compare various techniques and
ascess their accuracy. Gas chromatography
with a microcoulometric titration was used by
one participant, and the electron capture detec-
tor was used by 38 participants: thin-layer and
paper chromatography were each used by one
participant. Most participants achieved separa-
tion of pesticides either by use of a florisil
clean-up column or a gas chromatograph
column containing a mixture of a polar and a
non-polar liquid phase, or by use of both
techniques. (Author Modified Abstract)

The application of spectral analysis techniques
to sanitary engineering stream and estuary stu-
dies is discussed from a practical operational
viewpoint. Techniques of interpretation and the
data requirements are emphasized rather than
the mathematical basis and details of the
technique. The usefulness of spectral analysis
in analyzing records obtained from continuous.
automatic monitoring stations is pointed out.
Spectral analyses applied to tidal height
records and dissolved oxygen records obtained
in a field study of the Potomac Estuary are
discussed. The discussion is limited to the ap-
plication of individual power spectra computa-
tion to sanitary engineering investigations.

It is estimated that an investment of 18.1 billion
dollars will be required for the construction of
municipal wastewater treatment facilities in the
United States to meet the projected 1976
Federal State Water Quality Standards (1). Ap-
proximately one fourth of this amount will be
used for upgrading the performance of the ex-
isting wastewater treatment facilities. The ap-
plication of todays technology in upgrading
plant performance includes (a) techniques that
can be used to maintain the original treatment
plant efficiency under increasing organic
and/or hydraulic loading, (b) the addition of
processes that can be used to increase overall
plant removal efficiencies and (c) process addi-
tions or modifications for specific contaminant
removal. Physically, these upgrading
procedures may be applied ahead of the plant;
as modifications of the treatment process itself;
or as effluent polishing techniques. The report
describes these upgrading procedures..

An advanced electrolytic generator has been
developed for on-site production of sodium
hypochlorite for disinfection of overflows from
combined sewer systems. In this system an
electrochemical cell elect rolyzes sodium
chloride brine to chlorine gas and sodium
hydroxide solution, which are reacted im-
mediately outside the cell to produce a 5 to 10%
sodium hypochlorite solution. Significant ad-
vances in safety and economy have been real-
ized by use of a hydraulically impermeable ca-
tion exchange membrane. The most critical
components have operated for over 3000 hours
with no deterioration of performance. The
generator; requires 1.6 KWH of electricity and
2.1 pounds of salt per pound of sodium
hypochlorite. The operating cost for systems
larger than 500 pounds of hypochlorite per day
is projected to be 3 to 4 cents per pound of
hypochlorite. (Author Modified Abstract)

along the south shore of the County would
prevent the escape of this 27 million gallons a

would maintain the fresh-salt water interface
and prevent salt water intrusion. By the creation
of this hydrologic dam, the 27 million gallons a

removals were slightly lower at 55 to 65% for in-
fluent concentrations of 50 to 500 mg/l. Addi-
tion of chemical flocculents (ferric chloride and

dustrial water supply and quality control
requirements to the year 2065 for portions of
the six-county area which can be reasonably
served by the proposed Cooper Reservoir. The
report also includes an estimate of the annual
benefits which could be ascribed to storage al-
located to both water supply and flow regula-
tion for quality control.

The purpose of the research investigation was
to determine the optimum environmental con-
ditions for the degradation of refuse using the
composting process. Shake flasks and Warburg
studies were used to scan wide ranges of en-
vironmental parameters to locate optimum con-
ditions for continuous studies in three bench
scale composters of 1.5 cubic feet capacity
each. Close control of the following parameters
was maintained: temperature, air. moisture, pH,
nitrogen, and phosphorus. Temperature and
residual oxygen were monitored electronically
white other analyses were performed periodi-
cally. Optimum values of various environmental
parameters are given. Free air space is sug-
gested as a universal parameter for composting
solid wastes from various sources. The use of
recycle especially under winter conditions, is
recommended. Due to its resistance to biologi-
cal degradation, cellulose, a major component
of paper, should be recovered rather than com-
posted. (Author)

In 1970 the Conservation Foundation published
Your Right to Clean Air, a manual designed to
help citizens participate in air quality control
processes. In the la^t days of 1970, government
control procedures were changed radically
when Congress attached major amendments to
the Clean Air Act. The federal revisions make
necessary corresponding changes in state and
local programs. New time schedules have been
set, accelerating the entire control process, and
important new avenues have been opened for
public participation in decisions affecting every
community's air. Thus this new edition was
written. Some of the topics include: The clean
air amendments of 1970: The first steps in the
federal process; Implementation plans; Stan-
dards of performance; Hazardous air pollutant
standards;. Auto emission controls; The
citizen's legal rights; Economic considerations;
and The citizen's role in policy-making.

It is a truism that the air we breathe is essential
to our health and well-being. .However, when
that air is laden with extraneous substances—
when there is air pollution—then, although still
essential to our good health, the air can also
produce undesirable health effects. In the
discussion the authors shall consider only the
recognizable manmade air pollutants. They
consider only the effects on the health of man.

phenomena. Making greater use of the stream
biota to determine existing, and to forecast fu-
ture, water quality in the stream offers promis-
ing possibilities. Plankton studies within the
National Water Quality Network have included
extensive work designed to permit application
of the principle of diatom species diversity to
the development of water quality indices. The
studies required development of new laborato-

application of the methodology to surface
water samples from the many diverse Network
sampling points. Published herein are data
from samples collected in the 2-year period July

sewage treatment needs and costs. Each re-
ported need associated with those systems was
evaluated individually on the basis of the kind
and normal size of the project required to
eliminate it and the average unit cost of com-
ponents required. In addition, adjustments
were made to reflect the higher than average
costs that occur in some States. Expected fu-
ture needs and unreported needs were also
evaluated in terms of observed statistical rela-
tionships between capital supply and growth
and replacement factors. The report also deals
with industrial investment requirements, histor-
ical investments. Federal cost-sharing, priority

Comparison of Kinetic and Diffusional Models

Report on Mass Transfer and Chemical Reac-
tion in Water Pollution.
Descriptors: ('Particles, 'Diffusion), ('Chemical
reactions. Particles).
A comparison of the kinetic and diffusional
models for solid-liquid reactions occuring in a
spherical particle is presented. The similarities
and differences of the unreacted-core shrink-
ing model and the homogeneous model are ex-
amined in light of the rate-controlling factors.
In view of the similarity of the two models, it is
shown that erroneous conclusions in regard to
the mechanism and the activation energies may
be drawn from an analysis of the experimental
data. A more versatile model is developed in
order to augment the two models so that wider
varieties of solid-liquid reaction systems may
be treated. The concept of effectiveness factors
in solid-liquid reactions is introduced and the
influence of diffusion is ascertained. The
present study presents a better phenomenolog-
ical understanding of the mechanism of mass
transfer and chemical reaction occuring in
water pollution between liquid and solid.

An essential requirement for healthful and com-
fortable living is a dependable supply of water
for drinking and other domestic uses. This
supply should be palatable, convenient, of
good quality, and adequate in quantity. This
manual is a revision of PHS Publication No. 24,
Individual Water Supply Systems, issued in
1950. It is hoped that the manual will be useful
to State and local health authorities, well-dril-
lers, industry groups, and others concerned
with the development and operation of such
supplies. This manual emphasizes the sanita-
tion aspects of small supply systems such as
those serving individual dwellings, farms, rural
schools or similar institutions, recreational or
tourist accommodations, camps, or other in-
stallations not having access to public water
supply systems. The recommended practices
should be helpful in the design, construction,
and operation of these types of private and
quasi-public systems.

A study of the need for and value of streamflow
regulation for water quality control, for present
and future conditions, has been made for the
Northeast Cape Fear River Basin, North
Carolina. The future needs were based on the
results of economic and demographic studies
of the area. It was concluded that water quality
control measures beyond secondary waste
treatment were necessary to protect the benefi-
cial water users in the basin. Storage in the
proposed reservoirs would satisfy a portion of
the water quality control needs of the basin.

Juneau; Silver Bay, near Sitka; and Ward Cove,
near Ketchikan (see Frontispience). The urgent
need for a sewage and sewage treatment

The principal objective of the research was to
validate the following wet chemical methods for
sulfur oxides: the barium chloranilate
procedure, the barium ion-thorin procedure,
and lastly, a simplified method, which is not
specific for sulfste, which was also used to
analyze aliquots of the SO2 samples. The first
phase of the program evaluated the collection
and analysis methods. During second phase,
the revised chemical methods were tested at
uncontrolled coal, uncontrolled oil. and con-
trolled coal-fired power plants. A modification
to the program enabled the data collected in
the field to be utilized in preparing the national
emission standards for sulfur oxides. The
results obtained in fossil fuel-fired power plants
and in the Walden pilot plant are given in Sec-
tion 1. Section 2 discusses the results for the
other (noncombustion) stationary sources. For
each source tested, a brief description of the
process is provided. The appendix contains a
detailed write-up of the analytical methods
used, the Pb titration method developed under
this contract and data obtained on solid sor-
bents for collection of sulfur oxides.

The increasing costs and complexities of solid
waste handling require new, more so-
phisticated management techniques. Data on
performance and the costs of operation and
ownership are essential for the use of these
management tools. Hence, an adequate infor-
mation system is a prerequisite to effective
management. Although cost accounting
represents only one part of the total information
system, its design, installation, and utilization
can represent the most significant step in the
development of effective solid waste manage-
ment. The proposed system provides a guide to
the type and quantity of information to be col-
lected, its classification, and the method of col-
lection. It is intended to be of use to municipal
or private personnel involved in landfill opera-
tion and ownership.

The report presents the clinical and environ-

into the exposures of ferrous foundry workers
to silicosis and other hazards. Environmental
investigations were made in 18 ferrous foun-
dries, in which approximately 1,100 samples of
air-borne dust were collected and studied. The
amount of free silica in the air-borne dust
varied with the operation and ranged from 13
percent at coremaking to 29 percent in pouring.
shakeout and sand conditioning. The percent-
age of iron in the air-borne dust was found to
range from 3 to 9 percent for all operations ex-
cept casting cleaning, for which the proportion
varied from 30 to 38 percent. Operational dust
levels at various foundry activities in general
were found, to be much lower than those re-
ported in earlier investigations. Concentrations
of aldehydes were of a low order of magnitude.
Carbon monoxide concentrations were rela-
tively low in most instances. The most signifi-
cant clinical findings dealt with those of the
respiratory system. Pulmonary fibrosis of occu-
pational origin was found in 9.2 percent of the
men. Reinfection type of tuberculosis was
found in 0.7 percent of white workers and in 1:7
percent of the Negroes. Skin diseases probably
of occupational origin, was found in 1.7 percent
of the men. The correlation of the clinical and
environmental findings reveals that there is no
reason to believe that dust conditions in the
foundries studied have improved in the past 10
to 20 years.

aborigines-in particular, high tuberculosis in-
cidence and death rates. The expenditure of
millions of dollars on tuberculosis treatment for
a relatively small population clearly indicated
the need for basic measures such as adequate
housing. After an analysis of the technical
problems relevant to housing construction in
remote Alaskan villages, four experimental
houses were designed and constructed in the
field. Each was occupied by an Eskimo family:
in return for rent-free occupancy, the househol-
ders maintained the houses and kept tempera-
ture records. The house construction types
were plank-and-beam; rough lumber; commer-
cial wood-stave water tank; and an extremely
light shell mounted on a stable foundation
(which could be adjusted to compensate for
frost heaving). The results of the studies are
presented.

In the event of a thermonuclear attack on the

U.S. Public Health Service has pre-positioned
Packaged Disaster Hospitals (PDH's) in com-

unit of supplies and equipment which, in dis-
aster, can be set up in an existing building,
such as a school, to supply an austere but func-
tional general hospital. The booklet is the sixth
in a series developed to assist those persons in
a community responsible for preparing to use
the PDH in a disaster. It discusses water conser-
vation techniques, suggests guidelines for
meeting the emergency water requirements of
the PDH (both quantity and quality), and con-
tains sufficient information to be used as a
training manual for familiarizing assigned
operating personnel with their responsibilities

The development of safe and adequate supplies
of drinking water for individual homes is essen-

individuals residing in suburban areas. Urban
fringe areas are often beyond the reach of mu-
nicipal water systems, and individual wells or a
community distribution system must be pro-
vided to serve the properties with a safe supply
of water. The accelerated rate of housing con-
struction has g really aggravated environmental
health problems, especially in fringe areas and
rural communities. The recommendations of
the Joint Committee are presented primarily for
the purpose of establishing a uniform approach
for various Federal agencies concerned with
the sanitation of individual water supplies.

functional units: a grinder-type toilet, a receiv-
ing tank and a small pump. The hydraultcally
driven grinder was located below the bowl in
the base of the toilet. The pump, operating con-
tinously, recirculaled the tank contents through
the toilet, furnishing power to drive the grinder,
and liquid to flush the toilet. Solid particles
deposted in the toilet bowl were flushed into
the grinder where they were finely ground and
carried in the liquid by gravity flow from the
toilet to the receiving tank on the floor below.
No effluent was discharged from the system.

Locally, there is definite need and demand for
low flow control, and this demand can be met
most equitably by flow regulation from conser-
vation storage in proposed flood control reser-
voirs. Optimum conservation storage as
proposed at Council Grove and Marion is
theoretically sufficient for minimum water

An objective of our 1970 work plans for the
Federal Activities Coordination Branch was to
conduct program reviews with agency heads
for the purpose of establishing procedures for
coordination and implementation of a program
for controlling the pollution from Federal instal-
lations and activities. Top level discussions
were held between FWQA and agency heads in
FY 1970 to discuss and clarify the coordination
and application of water quality control. The
agencies dealt with included: Bureau of Land
Management; Corps of Engineers; U. S. Forest
Service; Bureau of Indian Affairs: and Soil Con-
servation Service.

A series of experiments involving the effects of
blue-green and green algae on the dieoff rates
of selected bacteria have been conducted. Cul-
tures of the normal blue-green contaminants
were exposed to the enterics to determine an-
tagonistic effects toward the enterics. Filtrate
from actively growing algae was exposed to
cultures of enterics to determine whether any
antibiotic compounds were imparted to the
medium during lag phase growth of algae. To
determine aftergrowth of the enteric spe,cies,
the duration of the tests was extended to about
90 days. Mixed cultures of green and blue-
green algae were exposed to both single spe-
cies of enteric bacteria and mixed cultures. The
results indicated that mixed algal cultures
cause a greater dieoff among the enteric bac-
teria than do individual species of algae. The
dieoff characteristics of pathogenic species
were also determined. The pathogenic species
did not survive as long as the enteric test spe-
cies under similar test conditions. Virtually no
aftergrowth was detected on the part of the
pathogens. (Author)

Summer stratification in small mountain trout-
fishery lakes restricts trout habitat to the thin
layer of su rface water. As atmospheric tempera-
tures increase during later summer months, the
epilimnion waters reach temperatures intolera-
ble for trout. A technique of managing trout-
fishery lakes, through introduction of com-
pressed air, was studied at Lake Roberts in
southern New Mexico during the summer of
1969. Research was conducted to determine
the feasibility of induced aeration to control
nutrient stratification and dissipation of high-
bottom concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. The
oxygenation efficiency of the induced aeration
system was evaluated, and further research
required for optimum development of the
systems as management tools for trout-fishery
lakes is discussed. (Author)

A study was conducted to determine the factors
in the urban environment which contribute to
the pollution of urban storm water runoff and to
determine methods to limit this source of water
pollution. It was found that street refuse - litter -
could be a significant factor when the nature of
the shock discharge of the pollution is con-
sidered. An evaluation was made of the efficien-
cy of street cleaning methods and limitations of
commonly used equipment explored. Catch
basins in conjunction with street inlets to the

mined to be a potential major source of pollu-
tion. Other potential sources of pollution con-
sidered included air pollution, roof discharges,
and chemicals used in the urban environment.

procedures used in recovery and identification
of intestinal parasites and related species
(atrial, bladder, and lung parasites) and with the
collection of satisfactory specimens. Com-
petent laboratory work is dependent on several
factors: 1) personnel trained in examining
specimens and accurately identifying organ-
isms. (2) adequate laboratory facilities, includ-
ing a good microscope, and (3) satisfactory
specimens. The primary purpose of this manual
is to present selected methods which can be
used routinely in laboratories performing
parasitologic examinations and which, when
performed properly, are reliable and thorough.

plants have risen steadily since the mid 1930's.
Rates of increase vary among the different con-

equipment, as well as for different types of con-
struction. Contract award data have proven
useful for evaluating progress in the construc-

The objective of the study was to evaluate the
ability of methods to quantitatively measure a
low concentration of a mixture of phenols. The
study consisted of four concentrated solutions
shipped in sealed glass ampoules to various
laboratories. The participants were instructed
on receipt to dilute 5 ml of each sample to 1 liter
with a good quality (phenol free) distilled water,
and were informed that the samples would then
contain concentrations of phenol and 2,4-
dichlorophenol in the range of 1.0 to 200 micro-
gram per liter. The distillation and chloroform
extraction (of the final color) method will mea-
sure the phenol content of a sample very accu-
rately and precisely, but it is not as sensitive as
is desired. On the other hand the simplified
aminoantipyrine method will measure neither
phenol nor 2,4-dichlorophenol very accurately
or precisely.

In the Cane Sugar Industry, as in many other in-
dustries, control and disposal of wastes is of
major concern. There are two important
reasons for increased attention to these
problems: First, the greatest possible recovery,
use, and reduction of wastes is necessary for
most economical production in small as well as
in large plants. Second, protecting the Nation's
limited water resources for maximum use is es-
sential to our health and continued economic
growth. Stream pollution control is mutually
beneficial to industry, the individual citizen, and
the Nation as a whole. Thus, wastes which can-
not be eliminated must be disposed of in a
manner which will not impair the usefulness of
stream waters for other beneficial purposes.
The Industrial Waste Guide to the Cane Sugar
Industry is intended primarily to assist the
operators and managers of cane sugar facto-
ries to utilize, reduce, and otherwise suitably
dispose of waste waters. (Author)

wastes consisting principally of the wastes from
a large milk condensery. The first period of
study extended from March 19 to April 11,1945,
and the second from July 12 to August 8. Twen-
ty 24-hour composite and five 4-hour com-

In the usual analysis of the flow of water into a
porous medium, such as infiltration into a soil,
air resistance is neglected. Obviously as water
moves into the air-filled pores air must be
driven out. In most cases the air flows with a
negligible resistance compared to the re-
sistance of water to flow. However, if the air
escape route deeper into the medium is
blocked by an impermeable barrier, the air will
be trapped and its pressure will increase as the
combined action of gravity and capillary forces

sure buildnup will decrease the infiltration rate
below the rate predicted from measurements of
the permeability of the medium and its capillary
characteristics. The report presents a mathe-
matical analysis of this effect.

these sources on the quality of water in the

of water quality and natural sources of mineral
pollution was limited to the central portions of
both basins, the area in which major salt
sources exist, and mineral pollution is most
severe. Stream quality monitoring consisted of
continuous specific conductance recording
combined with continuous flow measurement.
Weekly grab samples were collected and
analyzed to provide a basis for correlation of
specific conductance with dissolved solids,
chlorides, and sulfate concentration. In addi-
tion, samples were collected for trace elements
and radioactivity analyses. (Author Modified

sources of error, such as a period of heavy rain-
fall, producing extensive runoff into the water
impoundment. A study on bacterial presence in

The study is an examination of alternative
possible approaches for providing incentives to
industry to comply with the pollution abatement
standards being created under the Water Quali-
ty Act of 1965 and the Clean Water Act of 1966.
The study is limited chiefly to manufacturing in-
dustry, although there are significant water pol-
lution problems associated with aspects of min-
ing and agriculture as well. The primary focus
of the technological analysis is on the problems
of organic and inorganic wastes, rather than
thermal pollution. Among industrial incentives,
it proved impossible to limit consideration to
only a few obvious alternatives. In addition to
the more straight-forward devices like tax in-
centives, grants, and loans, less direct ap-
proaches were also examined, most notably the
creation of treatment authorities for a whole
area, river basin, or the part of such a basin
within a single state. In addition, it became
necessary to examine the problem of possible
hardship cases, and the question of whether or
not the existing supply of men and material is
adequate to produce and maintain the ex-
panded amount of treatment capacity planned
under the law. Also included in the report is ex-
tensive consideration of the nature of river
hydrology and of some aspects of waste abate-
ment technology.

any additional pollution control systems or
procedures are necessary or desirable to im-
prove or protect water quality. The NRTS is
located near the eastern end of the Snake River
Plain in southeastern Idaho. Recommendations
for additional water pollution control practices
are made to improve and protect the water
quality in the Snake Plain Aquifer. They include
elimination of disposal wells that discharge
waste directly into the ground water supply, the
elimination of the use of seepage ponds for the
disposal of chemical wastes, and the improve-
ment of some sanitary waste treatment systems.

workers in the field of sanitary science for .a
number of decades. The biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD) determines the quantity of ox-
ygen required for biochemical stabilization
when a sewage or industrial waste is
discharged into a surface water. However, the
oxygen consumed test is a measure of the
chemical oxidant required to oxidize the or-

Field studies have shown that growth of
Sphaerotilus is triggered into nuisance concen-
trations during certain seasons of the year
between Camas and Longview in the Columbia
River and between Oregon City and Upper Port-
land Harbor in the Lower Willamette River.
Floods and freshets influence the growth. At
such times growths are loosened en masse and
transported many miles to points downstream.
Moreover, high water and floods shorten time
of flow to downstream points so that transpor-
tation of nutrients occurs over much longer
distances and the range of active slime growth
is extended accordingly. The sulfite pulp mills
were found a major contributor to the produc-
tion of Sphaerotilus and associated slimes in
the Columbia River. Kraft mills, canneries and
domestic sewage are other lesser contributors.

The Public Health Service initiated a project to
evaluate the experience of the States with
'extended aeration' plants and to collect and
review available data and performance records.
The study was limited to plants of 20 to 2,500
population equivalent utilizing the extended-
aeration process. Laboratory data from 59 of
the 1,224 plants form the basis of the per-
formance evaluation. Extended-aeration plants
with proper design, maintenance, and opera-
tion can effect high BOD reductions. Records
show a wide range of efficiencies with an
average of 86 percent BOD removal.
Suspended solids removal is less, averaging 62
percent and ranging from 0 to 96.5 percent.

The control of tastes and odors in drinking
waters obtained from surface water sources is a
major problem in water purification. Tastes and
odors in surface waters may come from aquatic
plants such as algae natural land drainage, and
the discharge of domestic sewage and industri-
al wastes. The odor bearing materials, largely
organic, may undergo physical and chemical
changes as a result of sedimentation, vaporiza-
tion, oxidation, temperature and light effects,
and biochemical action. The study was un-
dertaken to determine the types and quantities
of materials present in petroleum refinery gravi-
ty oil separator effluents that contribute to taste
and odor when discharged into surface waters
used as drinking water sources. (Author)

The theoretical model for foam drainage and
overflow, which was developed earlier, was
tested in detail against experimental data. This
data was gathered from foam fractionation
columns, the operation of which included
reflux, no reflux, pool feed, and foam feed. The
test yielded good agreement. The theory was
also tested against experimental data for sta-
tionary foam draining at steady state. This too
yielded good agreement. The theoretical model
was then extended to stationary foam in un-
steady state drainage by combining it with a dif-
ferential mass balance and suitable boundary
conditions. A comparison of theoretical predic-
tion with experimental measurement indicated
that the effect of bubble coalescence in the
foam can be very important in this situation.

Frothing which is both a hazard and a nuisance,
has frequently been associated with increased
detergent use. Froth control may be accom-
plished by plant operational methods, sprays,
defoamers. or a combination of these devices.
Foam control of any kind costs money and
determination of the best type of control de-
pends on the individual plant. Evidence has
been presented, in spite of some disagreement
in the field, to indicate that detergents do inter-
fere with sedimentation, coagulation, trickling
filters, the activated sludge process, and sludge
digestion. It does appear that different deter-
gents have different effects on the treatment
processes, and that the activated sludge
process is most susceptible to their inter-
ference.

are waste water problems. Several treatment
methods are available for cyanide: some lack
the desired efficiency, others are difficult to

information is available on the biological
degradation of cyanates. Thiocyanate pollution
has a long history but its characteristics com-

treatment efficiency follows. Since the three
anions are related in chemistry, in industry, and
in waste control, a group comparison should
bring out certain aspects of the individuals that
might otherwise be unnoticed. The report

The objective of the program was to develop
new, more effective sealants for sewer line
leaks (leaking joints, cracks and large holes).
This purpose was achieved, and all equipments
and materials investigated, tested and com-
pared are presented, along with the test results,
supporting data, conclusions and recommen-
dations. A wide range of candidate materials
was surveyed, and weaknesses of rejected
materials were noted. Cost/effectiveness of the
new sealant materials was compared with that
of present sealant materials. It was concluded
that infiltration adversely influences sewer
system operating costs and effectiveness, and
that leakage repair systems are limited in their
effectiveness. (Author Modified Abstract)

An Evaluation of Salmonid Hatchery Wastes,
Danforth G. Bodien.Oct 70,54p
Descriptors: ('Fisheries, 'Water pollution), Sal-
mon, Aquaculture.
Throughout the Northwest Region 114 State
and Federal hatcheries produce an estimated
8.6 million pounds of salmonid fish annually. In
addition, the Region contains numerous private
hatcheries and fish farms. In the Hagerman Val-
ley alone such hatcheries produce over 4.5 mil-
lion pounds annually with a developmental
potential of 20 million pounds. Large quantities
of water are utilized in raising fish, and
generally the water used is discharged without
treatment to the receiving stream. In most cases
no problems have been associated with this
method of operation. Within the past few years,
during low summer flows, however, wastes
discharged from some hatcheries have created
nuisance conditions in receiving waters. The
report attempts to define the problem and
recommends methods for correction. (Author

an estimate of the existing manpower resource
and future needs; compares the salaries of
operators with those in comparable occupa-
tions; evaluates existing and future training
needs; assesses present certification and
recruitment programs; and makes recommen-
dations for action to meet the manpower
requirements for effective, efficient operation
of water pollution control facilities in New En-

Both the four-thirds law and random process
analogy formulas yield effective diffusion coef-
ficients in the proper order of magnitude for the
brackish portion of the Potomac Estuary. Either
of these formulas should provide useful ap-
proximations for other estuaries where good in-
formation on salinity variations is not readily
available. These formulas should be used with
caution in the fresh water portion of tidal rivers,
in view of the possible important influence of
salinity gradient induced density currents on
diffusion. Prototype tracer studies in such loca-
tions appear to be necessary to provide reliable
estimates of the appropriate diffusion coeffi-

Much consideration has been devoted to
whether silver, when added to water by
mechanisms such as filter beds, electrolytic
devices, or as colloidal suspensions, has
greater germicida! efficiency than the same
amount of silver added as AgNO3. In the
present investigation, improved bacteriological
and chemical methods, including radioisotope
Ag110m, have been used to study the factors af-
fecting the practical application of silver germi-
cides in water treatment. Concentrations of
silver are expressed either in terms of dissolved
or suspended agent determined by analysis at
the time of the test or in terms of silver quantita-

Cooling towers in petroleum refineries are a
source of hydrocarbon emissions to the at-
mosphere when the cooling water acquires
hydrocarbons in leaking heat exchangers and
releases them when passing through the tower.
A sampling procedure and an analytical method
were developed to measure the hydrocarbon
concentration of the water before and after its
pass through the cooling tower. Tests revealed
that of the 93 cooling towers operating in Los
Angeles County, 17 showed detectable emis-
sions totaling about three tons of hydrocarbons

The concentration of pollutants within a given
political or geographical urban area can arise
(1) from combustion or industrial process
sources within a given area, (2) from similar
sources outside the boundaries of that area or.
(3) from natural processes taking place over
large areas of the earth's surface or upper at-
mosphere. The pollution arising from man-
made sources outside a given area may come
from nearby cities or industrial areas. But the
pollutants may also come from distant sites not
at all obvious, and perhaps only occasionally
offenders, under special meteorological condi-
tions. In the report the methods of production,
destruction, and the concentrations of various
individual trace gases will be discussed. This
can occur as natural releases from the earth's
surface, microbiological reactions, and upper

without also having to consider absorption effi-

Biossays performed on mice with four subcu-

ticulate phase of air pollutants of eight cities
containing aromatic as well as aliphatic
hydrocarbons, yielded cancerous reactions
with all four fractions. The cancer yield ob-

fraction as well as with the city from which the
air-pollutants were collected. With the excep-
tion of air pollutants of Birmingham, which
showed the highest total cancer yield and
which had also the highest amount of 3.4-benz-
pyrene. there was no consistent correlation

chemical stability and the physical status of
some of these elements in the atmosphere.

Presented is an illustrated flow chart intended
to facilitate identification of some common
genera and species of Chironomid larvae of
North America. Some brief remarks on the
morphology and physiology of the family are
given. Some of these species are actively
favored by pollution and their presence, espe-
cially in the absence of intolerant forms may be
taken as a strong indication of the presence of
organic pollution. Other Chironomids conver-
sely are highly intolerant of pollution, and a
diagnosis of 'pollution' based solely on their
presence as 'Chironomid larvae', would be a
gross error. The importance of generic species
identification in interpreting the pollytional sig-
nificance of this group is thus self-evident.

Previous investigations conducted with porous
plates have shown that some organic sub-
stances present, in minute quantities, in an
aerated mixture increase the interfaclal surface
area (A) to such an extent that despite the
reduced mass transfer coefficient (K sub L) the
total rate of oxygen transfer (K sub L) can be
considerably increased. The report deals with a
preliminary investigation of three different
models of aerators in which the organic agent
was introduced at different rates of flow and
concentrations. The objective of the tests was
to obtain some information about the effects of
these variables on quantities such as the bub-
ble diameter, the interfacial area, the mass
transfer coefficient, and the total rate of oxygen
transfer. (Author Modified Abstract)

An alkaline phosphatase assay based on the
use of a p-nitrophenyl phosphate substrate was
studied for its applicability to indicate surplus
phosphorus uptake by a dilute heterogeneous
bacterial culture obtained from an activated
sludge process. This investigation demon-
strated the validity of the enzymatic bioassay
using viable bacterial cells and determined
conditions under which the bioassay should be
conducted as a standard procedure. Alkaline
phosphatase activity was found to be repressed
by both orthophosphate external to the cells
and by stored phosphorus within the bacterial
cells. Based on these studies, the assay appears
useful to help elucidate the mechanism respon-
sible for the abnormally high phosphorus
removal being attained by various activated
sludge plants in the United States. The research
also indicates the possible significance of the
surplus phosphorus uptake phenomenon in
waste treatment processes. (Author)

A number of approaches have been taken in at-
tempting to evaluate the important factors
which control the rate of methane fermentation
in anaerobic digestion. The ultimate goal of the
research has been to determine the chemical,
physical, and biochemical requirements which
will enable the methane fermentation to
proceed at rates on the order of one magnitude
greater that commonly observed in conven-
tional anaerobic digestion. A considerably
detailed study was conducted to assay the
methane fermentation stimulation potential of
six compounds which had shown promise in a
previous study conducted by the principal in-
vestigator. Next, a series of studies was
designed to evaluate the influence of many
physical and chemical factors involved in
digestion. Following this, the methane fermen-
tation requirements for trace organics, such as
vitamins and amino acids was studied. Com-
binations of individual amino acids and
vitamins as well as mixtures, e.g. case in
hydrolyzate (enzymatic), yeast extract, and for-
tified vitamin B complex, were assayed for their
stimulation potential. The surface charge on
the microorganisms was altered by inorganic
and organic coagulating agents while observ-
ing the acetate utilization rate.

The report documents the U.S. preparedness to
deal with a catastrophic oil spill. The plan
represents an agreement among concerned
Departments and agencies of the Federal
government for a pattern of coordinateed and
integrated responses to pollution incidents.
The objectives of this plan are to develop effec-
tive systems for discovering and reporting the
existence of a pollution incident, promptly in-
stituting measures to restrict the further spread
of the pollutant, application of techniques to
cleanup and dispose of the collected pollu-
tants, and institution of action to recover
cleanup costs and effect enforcement of exist-
ing Federal statutes.

The chlorination of water supplies accom-
plishes, in addition to the destruction of
microorganisms, a number of other objectives.
The reaction of chlorine with compounds such
as phenol may result in the production of un-
desirable taste and odor compounds. If the
chlorination is carefully controlled, however,
even the latter can be improved. In any case, as
a result of chlorination, one of the most com-
monly performed chemical determinations is
the measurement of free available or combined
available chlorine in water. At present, there are
nine methods for the determination of free and
combined chlorine. Unfortunately, none of
these have been studied collaboratively. This
study was undertaken in an effort to evaluate
and prehaps eliminate some of them.

In recent years, activated sludge plants utilizing
aerobic digestion for destruction of waste
solids have been increasingly used for small in-
stallations. If satisfactory operation of the plant
is to be maintained, excess sludge must be
removed from the digester at regular intervals
for ultimate disposal. The principal objective of
the project was to determine how an aerobic
digester should be operated so that maximum
drying rates of the waste sludge on open-air
beds can be realized.

A steadily mounting rate of uranium production
has focused increasing attention on the health
hazards associated with the mining of this
strategic metal. Predominant among these
hazards is exposure to radon, a dense gas
emanating from the ore, together with the
products which result from the radioactive
decay of radon. To date, neither records of
human exposure to radon daughter products
nor data from animal experimentation have
been available in sufficient quantity to permit a
determination of a maximum permissible con-
centration for these elements. It has therefore
been necessary to establish a working level
which appears to be safe, yet not unnecessarily
restrictive to industrial operations. Such a level,
it is believed, has been established and recom-
mended in the report. (Author Modified Ab-

each component was weighed, and the data
were then statistically evaluated. It was deter-
mined that there is no significant variance
among sample weight groups. The study
recommends that 12, relatively small (200-lb)

An instrument is required to measure continu-
ously environmental levels of airborne radon
and thoron as well as beta activity and long-
lived alpha emitters. The report describes an in-
strument which achieves these requirements by
filtering air through a membrane filter in a step
wise manner continuously observing the
deposited alpha activity of the radon and
thoron daughter products. This observed activi-
ty is theoretically related to the airborne gase-
ous radon and thoron. (Author Modified Ab-

('Synoptic meteorology, Anticyclones).
The purpose of the study is to define the synop-
tic climatology of stagnating high pressure
systems in the eastern part of the United States.
As a first step, it is necessary to make a survey
of the location and frequency of occurrence of
stagnating anticyclones in the area. In recent
years, due to an increase in urban living, the air
pollution problem has become more and more
aggravating and has attracted considerable at-
tention. Our gradually increasing population
and the concentration of heavy industries in
relatively congested areas of population in-
dicate the need for an investigation of the
synoptic climatology of this phenomenon with
a view to preventing its harmful effects upon
human life in the future. (Author Modified Ab-

An experimental study of the application of a
fluidized sludge blanket clarif ier to the coagula-
tion and separation of wastewater solids was
made to determine the effects of controlled
process variables on the treatment achieved.
Experiments using alum and ferric chloride
coagulants were carried out in 12- and 24-inch
diameter columns by systematic variation of
wastewater pH, coagulant dose, upflow fluid
velocity, and blanket depth. The results were
analyzed using regression analysis techniques
and empirical relationships were derived relat-
ing the variables to the removal of suspended
solids, total organic carbon, phosphorus, and
coagulant metal ions. The sludge production
rate was also correlated empirically with the
operating variables. Both alum and ferric
chloride were found to be effective coagulants.
The sludge blanket acted as an efficient clarifier
up to at least 15 ft/hr superficial velocity,
although best removal efficiencies were
achieved at lower rates. (Author Modified Ab-

Precipitation of calcium phosphate from both
synthetically derived wastewater and from ac-
tual wastewater was investigated. An
amorphous tricalcium phosphate was the
steady state solid phase that controlled dis-
solved phosphate residuals. The solubility of
this phase determined from chemically'defined
systems was used with success to predict dis-
solved phosphate residuals from both chemi-
cally defined systems and actual wastewaters.
Suspension settling was enhanced by magnesi-
um hydroxide precipitation but not by calcium
carbonate precipitation. In wastewater of
moderate alkalinity and hardness, a phosphate
removal in excess of 80% was consistently
achieved at pH 9.5 with lime doses of at the
most 200 mg/l as calcium carbonate. The
overall phosphate removal performance was
dictated by the performance of the precipitation
reactor and its ensuing sedimentation basin.
Phosphate containing particles that escaped
sedimentation could not be removed by filtra-
tion because they dissolved rapidly during the
recarbonation process that necessarily
precedes the filtration step.

Before studies on the removal of radioactive
materials by the experimental water treatment
plant were initiated, it was felt desirable to ob-
tain information relative to the efficiency of the
plant in treating raw waters. To obtain these
data, a treatment plant was in continuous
operation for the period July 18-20 and July 25-
28, 1949. During these intervals, turbid waters
were treated with alum and alkali, passed
through the coagulation and sedimentation
chambers, and filtered. Hourly samples were
collected of the raw. mixed, settled, and filtered
waters, and the pH, turbidity, and alkalinity
were determined.

The report details the techniques and results of
Joint Project studies of atmospheric emissions
from eight miscellaneous sources in oil refine-
ries. Because the emissions from these opera-
tions or equipment were of a minor nature or
were already well defined and understood
through previous available studies, indepen-
dent field testing was carried out in only one of
the eight source studies. The estimates of emis-
sions presented were generally based on field
inspections, letter surveys, literature surveys,
and existing test data or loss estimates supplied
by the Los Angeles County Air Pollution Control
District or the Western Oil and Gas Association.

In conducting an emission inventory, sources
may conveniently be divided into two major
classes, specific sources, largely indu.strial,
which are studied on an individual basis and
multiple sources, those too numerous to be
treated individually. This latter class includes
automobiles, trucks, residences, apartments,
incinerators and many other sources which col-
lectively contribute significantly to urban air
pollution. The following discussion will be
limited to a description of the air pollution
emission inventory presently under develop-
ment as part of the Special Air Pollution Study

The electronic absorption spectra for N02-
N204 mixtures has been measured in various
non-polar and polar solvents. In non-polar sol-
vents the spectra is very similar to NO2-N204
mixtures in the gas state. However, in solvents
with unshared electron pairs available particu-
larly ethers, esters, ketones and tertiary amines,
a complex multi-banded spectra is observed at
room temperature. This spectra appears to be
characteristic of NO2-N2O4 in those solvents
and to be the result of the same electron donor-
acceptor type molecular complexes reported
previously in the literature at lower tempera-
tures in the solid state. In olefins and n-alkyl
amines reactions occur and the products
formed are discussed. (Author)

The development of industrial, agricultural and

Since the effects of toxicity are largely biologi-
cal, it is natural to turn to bioassay as a means
of measuring these effects. A major objective of
the symposium is to stimulate the use of bioas-
say and encourage its further development.

. Hydrocarbon leaks from valves and flanges in
refineries may be responsible for appreciable
emissions to the atmosphere. Questionnaires
were sent out to obtain the number of valves
and flanges, classified by service, in the refine-
ries. A testing program was then initiated to ob-
tain the leakage rates from a representative
number of these units. Tests indicated that
flanges were of minor importance as sources of
emissions, having approximately one-tenth the
leak frequency of valves. Nearly 10,000 valves
were inspected, and the leakage was projected
to the total population of 132,000 valves in Los
Angeles County refineries. (Author)

The epidemic of typhoid fever in Vovington,

the polluted water delivered to their consumers
by the public water supply systems of those ci-
ties. The present treatment of the Covington
supply, consisting of storage and chlorination
as now provided, is inadequate, and cannot be
relied upon to produce a safe effluent at all
times. The crude method of application of
chemicals for the purpose of coagulation of the
Newport supply is not carefully regulated and is
ineffective. Raw Ohio River water is absolutely
unfit for human consumption without proper
purification. These cities must expect recurrent
epidemics of intestinal, water-borne diseases
such as typhoid fever, dysentery and diarrhea,
until all of the water supplied to their citizens is
properly purified by a modern treatment plant.

The vast. majority of the saline agricultural
wastewater that is presently being generated
within the San Joaquin Valley is discharged to
the San Joaquin River. As the quantity of this
waste increases, the waste load on the river
would reach a point of extreme unacceptability.
The San Joaquin River would become saline
and downstream users would be deprived of a
usable water supply. For these reasons, a
system is now under construction to collect
much of the saline drainage and transport it to a
'safe' disposal site. The material presented
describes the operation of upflow anaerobic fil-
ters operated to determine if nitrate-nitrogen
could be efficiently removed from the subsur-
face agricultural drainage. Filters of three sizes
(4-, 18-. and 36-inch diameters) were operated

initiates condensation of the
di(trifluoroacetate) with the hydrocarbon to
form a diarylmethane type of dye. A fairly strong

Descriptors: ('Air pollution. 'Gas analysis).
The report points out that the purpose of an air
pollution measurement must determine the
techniques used in making that measurement.
The knowledge necessary for an intelligent
decision arises in part from previous analytical
and other research. The nature and complexity
of the sampling problem has been explored,
and some work presently underway has been
cited which may afford an eventual solution to
this problem.

The report is a manuscript of the conference on
the matter of pollution of the interstate waters
of the North Platte River, involving the States of
Nebraska and Wyoming and the Public Health
Service, held under the provisions of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The pur-
pose of the conference is to bring together the
state water pollution control agencies, the
Public Health Service, and other interested
parties to review the existing situation, the
progress which has been made, and to lay a
basis for future action by all parties concerned
and to give the states, localities, and industries
an opportunity to take any remedial action
which may be indicated under state and local
law.

Because of the substantial expenditure of
Federal funds and expressed interest of several
congressional committees in the water pollu-
tion control program, the General Accounting
Office has examined into the effectiveness of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Administra-
tion's (FWPCA) construction grant program for
abating, controlling, and preventing water pol-
lution. These projects have contributed to abat-
ing water pollution because the problem would
have been worse if the projects had not been
constructed. GAO believes, however, that the
benefits have not been as great as they could
have been because many waste treatment
facilities have been constructed on waterways
where major polluters—industrial or municipal-
-located nearby continued to discharge un-
treated or inadequately treated wastes into the
waterways. The names of the rivers and mu-
nicipalities have not been identified in the ex-
amples because the purpose of the examples is
to demonstrate the existence of a problem. The
program to date has been administered for the
most part using a shotgun approach—awarding
construction grants on a first-come-first-served
or readiness-to-proceed basis. Little considera-
tion has been given to the immediate benefits to
be attained by the construction of individual
treatment plants. (Author Modified Abstract)

between washing agents and clothing load. A
very large portion of commercial laundry

In recent years, a significant number of human
cases of Q fever have occurred in the United
States, some of which have been attributed to
the consumption of milk. Upon investigation, it
was ascertained that Q fever in cattle, goats,
and sheep is endemic in certain western and
southwestern States. It was observed that the
danger of transmission of the disease to man
could be reduced by slight changes in the
procedures for pasteurizing milk. Because of
the need for precise information as to the
pasteurization; times and temperatures neces-
sary to assure destruction of the Q fever organ-
ism, the Public Health Service, in cooperation
with the University of California, established a
research project ot study the thermal destruc-
tion of this organism. Details about the
research project and the new pasteurization
recommendation which resulted from it are
described in this monograph.

One phase of the Joint District, Federal and

Emissions was the study of hydrocarbon
leakage from pressure relief valves. The report
details the techniques and conclusions of the
study. The seven major refineries in the Los An-
geles area, processing about 90 per cent of the
local crude throughput, reported a total of 1100
relief valves on operational units and 350 relief
valves on pressure storage vessels. Field tests
made on 460 valves indicated an average leak
for valves on operational units of 2.9 pounds
per day per valve while pressure storage valves
leaked an average of 0.4 pounds per day per
valve. The total hydrocarbon leakage, calcu-
lated by projecting the field test data to the re-
ported number of valves in each group, was
found to be 3500 pounds per day. This figure in-
cludes only continual leakage through the valve
seat. Emissions due to relief valve blowoff were
not considered in the study. (Author)

The paper is a discussion of research at Oregon
State College in methods of determining per-
missible concentrations of pulp mill wastes in
receiving waters by means of bioassays and ap-
plication factors. Standard and convenient toxr
icily bioassay methods are being developed,
and application factors for making use of the
results of these bioassays are being determined
experimentally in part by means of 'artificial
streams' approximating natural conditions.
Pulp mill wastes, whose acute toxicity has al-
ready been evaluated by means of bioassays,
are introduced continuously in varying
amounts into these streams for periods as long
as one month. A similar approach is being
developed for the control of the discharge of
pulp mill wastes so that resulting 'slime'
production can be maintained at biologically
harmless levels.

Studies on the microbiology of • anaerobic
sludge disclosed that nonmethanogenic strictly
anaerobic bacteria comprised one of the most
numerous groups of organisms present. Eu-
ryoxic bacteria constitute only a minor fraction
of the normal bacterial flora but can become
predominant in very short time if fermentable
carbohydrates are present. This finding
emphasizes the necessity of using unenriched
fermentations for studying the sludge digestion
process. Lipids are the main substrates respon-
sible for generation of acetate in the unaltered
normal sludge fermentation. Organisms
responsible for lipid decomposition are ap-
parently slow-growing and are washed out of
the digestor at short retention times. Recycling
of the bacteria would enable the operator to
shorten retention time without a loss in efficien-
cy of decomposition. (Author)

Criteria of stream pollution may be all too
evident in turbid, highly colored, offensive
smelling streams. But often relatively clear
sparkling streams need laboratory examination
to determine the nature and extent of their pol-

several features as the microscopic life present,
or the animals living in or on the bottom. For
sometime it has been stated that the presence
of certain microscopic organisms in abundance
is a sure indication of organic pollution, usually

Confidence Limits for an Unknown Concen-

Technical information series,
Eugene K. Harris Jut 58.8p R58AGT494 '
Descriptors: ('Chemical analysis. Confidence
limits).
Initial study of an analytical method for deter-
mining the amount of some substance
frequently leads to a calibration curve on which
the response of a test indicator are plotted
against carefully measured amounts of the sub-
stance. In practice, however, such a curve is
used to estimate an unknown amount of sub-
stance from an observed value of the indicator
variable - exactly converse to the way in which
it is prepared. Berkson has shown that this esti-
mation is valid when the relationship between
substance (x) and indicator (y) is linear, pro-
vided that in obtaining the calibratiin line an at-
tempt is made to measure x to certain predeter-
mined amounts. The estimation of x from y is
not invalidated by the fact that the original mea-
surement of x may have been subject to error.
The purpose of the note is to call attention to
confidence limits available for such an esti-
mate. (Author)

will meet these objectives in a highly efficient
manner through systematic application of a
combination of water pollution control mea-

or reduction of pollution at its source; (2)
removal of polluting materials from waste water
discharges by treatment methods; (3) control of
times of release of waste waters to minimize
pollutional effects; and (4) after application of
treatment and control at the source, by regula-
tion of streamflow for water quality control.

wastes, foretells an ever-increasing proportion
of its over-all water resources will be used
water! Alarm has been rising over the presence
of refractory materials in waste waters; and al-
kylbenzenesulfonate (ABS) has been the object
of most investigative work. In the western
United States the fate of ABS in soils is of more
than academic importance. Substitution of
sewage or sewage effluents for the normal
source of irrigation water, poses the question of
whether file value of the water in sewage and
sewage effluents is in any way decreased by its
contaminants. The experiments described con-
cern maximizing the ABS-degradation capabili-
ties of soils involved laboratory-scale column
studies and studying the effect of ABS on plant
growth, and the uptake by plants.

Ionizing radiations result from the disintegra-
tion of unstable nuclei, and it is these radiations
that are damaging to living tissue. The irradia-
tion in which one is interested may originate
from an external source or from radioactive
materials within the body. Radiation effects
from radioactive materials within the body de-
pend upon several factors: the quantity of
radioactive material absorbed in the body: the
type of radiation, whether alpha, beta, gamma,
etc.; the energy; the point of localization; the
rate of excretion from the body; and the half-life
of rate of decay of the material. All of these fac-
tors are considered in evaluating the maximum

capable of producing positive, negative or an
equal mixture of positive and negative ions.
During the course of development of a genera-
tor for making homogenous aerosols from
methylene blue by the evaporation of alcohol or
water solutions of the dye. it was found that the
generated particles were highly charged under
certain conditions. It was eventually found that
the only practical method for neutralizing these
particle charges was by mixing the particles
with a high concentration of mixed positive and

ion generator used to neutralize these particle
charges. (Author Modified Abstract)

The disposal of pollutants in mine drainage is
difficult because they are diluted with so much
water. Sale* of extracted pollutants is not
economical. Acid can be neutralized but
sulfates are left in solution. Iron can be
precipitated, but the precipitate is one of the
most difficult to dewater. Ultimate disposal of
solids will be to the land, either in dumps or
spread thinly on pasture or woodland. Brines
too strong to be accepted in surface waters
must go to permanent storage or to the ocean.
The paper has reviewed available processes for
dealing with mine drainage and points out dif-
ficulties and advantages associated with them.

Brief mention is made of techniques now in use
for determining radioisotope hazard. A study
was made of data available from the Operations
Division. Oak Ridge National Laboratory on
radioisotope shipments. Since the number of
curies of each radioisotope shipped are known
and the maximum permissible concentration
for that radioisotope has been suggested, the
volume of water required for dilution to the
tolerance concentration could be determined.
These computations, which were based on
several stated assumptions and included the ef-
fects of decay, show that there is immediate
need for setting standards and procedures for
the safe handling and disposal of strontium and
perhaps , other long-lived radioisotopes.

Morphological Identification of Some Organic
Acids as the Sodium Salts.

andJames P. Lodge, Jr. 1958,6p
Descriptors: ('Aliphatic acids, 'Crystal growth).
Organic salts. Diffusion.
In a previous investigation of the characteriza-
tion of organic acids by quantitative microdiff u-
sion it was observed that a number of the acids
gave large characteristic crystals of the sodium
salts as a result of the diffusion process. These
crystals can serve to confirm the identity of the
diffusing acid, as well as provide, by their speed
of formation, a rough index of the diffusion
rate. The technique may also be used to
prepare large crystals of the sodium salts of the
acids. The report very briefly discusses results
from a study of the diffusion of aliphatic or-
ganic acids in sodium hydroxide pellets.

data available as of July 1,1953, was developed
after a thorough consideration of the existing
and potential uses of the water resources in the
basin; the pollution entering the streams and
the resulting damages; the benefits which may
result from pollution prevention and abate-

The report discussed to what degree detergents
are removed from wastes passing through sep-

Detectable concentrations of ABS in ground
waters demonstrate that degradation is in-
complete. Furthermore, frothing of water ob-
tained from wells in sewage-polluted strata is
not an uncommon occurrence. It is therefore
important to study the interrelationships of
synthetic detergents and septic-tank systems.

The major interest in this study was concerned
with the findings of endrin and dieldrin in the
various types of samples analyzed. Special at-

levels of concentration at which DDT and its
metabolites ODD and DDE were found. The
highest levels of concentration of these pesti-

samples of each type. The results of the labora-
tory analyses of all oyster, water, and bottom
sediment samples collected during the entire
study showed that, in general, chlorinated
pesticides were either not detected or were
found in very low levels. The amounts of the
pesticide residues found by the Food and Drug
Administration were reported as insignificant

The mass transfer of oxygen from air bubbles to
water is of considerable practical importance in
treatment of sewage by bio-oxidation and in
many industrial fermentation processes. The
cost of this operation is comparatively high
because large quantities of air have to be com-
pressed to the pressure of the system and
dispersed into small bubbles. To obtain more
information on this action it was proposed to
conduct a preliminary investigation of the ef-
fects of three homologous series of organic
compounds on the size of air bubbles, mass
transfer coefficient, and on the interfacial areas
of air-water dispersions. The series of com-
pounds selected for investigation were the
mono- and di-carboxylic acids and aliphatic al-
cohols. This was done in order to determine the
possible effects of the type of the compound
and its molecular size. Some tests on carboxyl-
ic acids, obtained in our previous work, are also
discussed in the report. (Author Modified Ab-

Lake Tahoe, astride the California-Nevada
stateline in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is one
of the clearest, deepest freshwater lakes in the
world. As the growth of resident and tourist
populations alike increases at an accelerated
rate, the problems associated with sewage and
other waste disposal are magnified and the
clarity and beauty of Lake Tahoe waters are
threatened by algal nuisances that may arise
from the nitrogen and phosphorus contained in
these wastes. Likewise, silt from land clearing
practices and real estate development is an in-
creasing problem. The report discusses the
nutrient and silt problems, the present status of
sewage treatment and disposal, the water quali-
ty characteristics of lake waters, and the pollu-
tion abatement proposals designed to protect
and preserve the quality and beauty of the in-
terstate waters of Lake Tahoe. (Author Modified

organic and inorganic pollution to our water-

Dissolved silica is a major constituent of most
natural waters; yet its significance in water
quality transformations has remained largely
undefined. It is thus important to develop syste-
matic information regarding the effects of silica
on the chemical and biologic characteristics of
natural waters. In defining the role of dissolved
silica in water quality transformations, it is es-
sential first to obtain sufficient information re-
garding the chemical nature of the various spe-
cies of silica which may exist under different
conditions in dilute aqueous solution. This arti-
cle describes some of the results of an in-
vestigation of several of the reactions of dis-

existence for more than a century. These
problems are currently increasing propor-
tionately with the recent rapid increase in the
human population in this area and as a result
are becoming more controversial and acute. In
an attempt to assist in improving multipurpose

this area, this cooperative research program
was established. The objectives of the present

The investigation of ground-water conditions in

undertaken as a part of the water pollution
study of the Denver metropolitan area currently
being conducted by the South Platte River
Basin Project. Ground water is used extensively
in the area for public, domestic, industrial and
irrigation supplies. The principal source of
large ground-water supplies is the shallow val-
ley-fill deposits which are very susceptible to
contamination. The rapidly expanding urban
and industrial growth of the area has resulted in
continued development of water supplies from
ground-water sources. The purpose of the
ground-water study was to determine sources
and extent of pollution in the water-bearing for-
mations in the area. In assessing these condi-
tions the geology and water-bearing charac-
teristics of the aquifers were considered.

The contribution of boundary flow to the
hydraulic conductivity values obtained from
laboratory permeameters employed in cyclic
flood-dry infiltration studies was evaluated.
Hydraulic conductivity in the boundary zone
was less than that of the inner matrix for a 2-
mm sand. Conversely, the flow rate was
greatest in the boundary zone for the finer tex-
tured sandy loam soils. The divergence
between the hydraulic conductivity of the inner
zone and the boundary zone was greatest dur-
ing the first flooding period. For both matrix cy-
cles, although of different magnitude, tended to
be similar and parallel. A laboratory permeame-
ter design is presented to facilitate partitioning
the relative contributions of flow in the bounda-
ry and inner zones on the hydraulic conductivi-
ty values of soils. (Author)

The replica-plating technique and Lochhead's
nutritional method were combined in explora-
tory experiments to test their feasibility as use-
ful means for characterizing the aerobic
heterotrophic flora of activated sludge and to
minimize the burdensome process of isolation,
purification, and testing of isolates. In the test
run. the method was about 86% reliable at the
0.05 level of significance. About 40% of the total
number of bacteria able to grow on an aqueous
extract of activated sludge did not grow on
media containing glucose, amino acids, growth
factors, and inorganic salts. The requirement
for activated sludge extract suggested the ex-

The possible health hazard resulting from ir-
rigation with sewage-polluted water of vegeta-
bles normally consumed raw has long con-
cerned public health officials. Conflicting
opinions have evolved on the degree of danger
caused by this practice. Commonly accepted
objectives for sewage irrigation practices have
not been developed, nor have there been
established generally approved standards for
the quality of irrigation water. In the South
Platte River Basin downstream from and north
of Denver to Brighton, Colorado, the largest use
of water is for agriculture. In the area im-
mediately north of Denver many varieties of
'salad vegetables' were raised. At the.time of
this study these vegetables were irrigated with
polluted water diverted via four main supply
ditches from the South Platte River just below
entry of the Denver Northside sewage treatment
plant effluent. Other inadequately treated mu-
nicipal and industrial effluents contributed to
the overall pollution in this vicinity. During
1963-64 a field sampling and laboratory analy-
sis program was conducted on vegetables, the
soils in which they were grown, and the waters
with which they were irrigated. Samples of
vegetables, soils, and waters were analyzed for
three bacterial indices of pollution.

283 cu. in. engine was used both with the var-
icam installed and with no device. In order to
control temperatures, a General Motors tem-
perature sensor was installed with the varicam
to allow normal vacuum advance under condi-
tions of high temperature. The following tests
were conducted: (1) standard 1968 Federal test
procedure for exhaust emissions with both cold
and hot start: (2) a closed, constant volume
sampling technique using nine (9) repeats of
the Federal emissions test cycle (9-CVS). Sam-
ples were analyzed for carbon monoxide,

in communities with public water supplies in-

nine-liter bottles on the development and con-
trol of activated sludge fed with common foods
were made. One of the objectives of these stu-
dies was the control of a biological process

that in methemoglobin is so firmly bound that
the methemoglobin cannot function as an ox-
ygen- carrier by alternate oxygenation and
deoxygenation. Thus, the result may be anox-
emia with serious consequence or even death.
Although methemoglobinemia may result from
congenital heart diseases, or from the in-
gestion, inhalation, or absorption, also from the
medicinal administration, of any one of several
drugs or chemicals, an important cause of
cases in infants is the ingestion of water high in
nitrate. This review of the literature is con-
cerned with the latter cause.

During the past few years several methods have
been proposed for the determination of oxygen
consumed values of organic wastes. There is a
definite need for a better oxygen consumed
method for stream sanitation and industrial
waste studies. In order to evaluate the various
proposed methods a' comparative study was
made. Four organic compounds which are typi-
cal of those to be found in sewage and industri-
al wastes were used. In addition, a study of four
industrial wastes was made.

Lynchburg is located in the deep, narrow James
River Valley at the foothills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Central Virginia. Since 1945. there
have been complaints about smoke, odors, and
smog in Lynchburg, Virginia. This was climaxed
by an incident of paint blackening on a group of
houses in 1958. Following the appraisal of the
problem it seemed advisable to carry out a pilot
study to obtain initial data on the general air
pollution levels in Lynchburg. The study was
planned to provide intensive air pollution sam-
pling for seven days, February 9-15, including
one weekend and one all-night sampling
period.

dispersed throughout the region and affect
water quality over 300 miles of Basin streams.
This report comprises five major parts. Section
1 consists of introduction and background to
the problem, and description of process opera-
tions. Section 2 gives the results of industrial
surveys and status evaluation on each of the ten
factories in the Basin. Section 3 discusses total

The microscopic flora and fauna exclusive of
bacteria, of natural waters, prepared waters
from water purification plants, and raw and

relative to those waters. The organisms
frequently indicate the hardness or softness of
the waters involved; the nature of the acidity, if
acid:, the region from which the water is
derived; the degree of fertilization of the water;
the source of tastes and odors; the degree of ef*
fectiveness of purification and filtration;.the

sometimes what specific trade wastes are
present. Pollution can be classified. The report
briefly reviews the use of such indicator spe-

promiscuous discharge of process wastes from
the sulfate pulp mill located at Crossett, Arkan-
sas. This investigation was requested by the U.
S. Public Health Service, Washington Office, in
a memorandum dated February 11, 1949. The
purpose of this meeting was to discuss process

were to investigate possible relationships
between air pollution and the health of people
and to obtain information on a number of
aspects of the engineering and meteorological
aspects of air pollution. The four phases of the
medical study are described. They include a
morbidity survey, a mortality survey, a clinical
study of individuals with known chronic car-
diorespiratory disease, and an anthracosis
study of autopsied individuals. The extensive
aerometric studies are described in terms of

One challenging and unsolved problem as-

is the development of a mathematical model
capable of simulating the time-dependent per-

especially a representation of the time-depen-

of automatic control is to produce an effluent
which is of better average quality, than that
which can be achieved without control and to
minimize the variation of effluent quality with

ing the feasibility of various cooling methods;
no attempt is made to optimize any particular
plant or site. In addition to determining the en-
gineering and economic feasibility of cooling

During the period from 1963 through 1968 a se-
ries of instaneous and continuous release dye
experiments were conducted in the near-shore
coastal waters off southern California. The
results of these experiments have been in-
terpreted in terms of two- and three-dimen-
sional apparent coefficients of eddy diffusivity.
During the course of this investigation, little
evidence was found to substantiate the applica-
bility of the so-called four-thirds law relating
the instantaneous apparent diffusivity coeffi-
cients and the approximate eddy scale. The
findings cast doubt on the direct applicability of
the four-thirds law in the design of submarine
waste outfalls or in predicting the behavior of
other low density surface fields. (Author

was suggested that, for both unialgal cultures

and all are high in pollutional strength. Treat-
ment of these glue wastes varies from plant to
plant, but generally consists only of solids
separation or the removal of suspended matter.
Biological treatment investigations showed that
BOD removals of 90+percent can be attained
where protein and urea glues are involved:
however, this process proved unworkable for
the phenolic glues and the process of incinera-

designed to assure to the consuming public the
safety of shellfish (oysters, clams, and mussels)
shipped in interstate commerce, and provide
for continuing use of a valuable natural
resource. The Program is concerned with the
sanitary aspects of shellfish production, har-
vesting, processing, and distribution. The re-
port presents data on shellfish production
areas. The data covers the following points by
State and by Region; number, size and classifi-
cation of areas: location of areas by interstate
and intrastate waters, and by active and inactive
areas. • '

The recurrent pattern of oxidatiye food usage
by microorganisms and oxidative destruction of
cell substance in unfed cultures has been
described, and it has been noted that these
phenomena are essentially similar in natural
stream purification and in activated sludge and
trickling filter systems. The universal effect of
nutritional deficiencies on growth charac-
teristics has been described and the effect of
nutritional deficiencies on growth and oxida-
tion analyzed. The sewage treatment plant has
been noted to undergo a daily cycle with excess
oxidation capacity at night because of reduced
load. Algal photosynthesis has been analyzed in
terms of its effect on oxidative purification
processes. (Author)

Radiochemical analyses of the effluent ob-

nuclear bomb blast mixture in an experimental
water treatment plant showed that radioele-
ments were removed in varying amounts. These
data also indicated higher and lower removals
than those that had been reported earlier when
only single radioisotopes were subjected to
similar treatment processes. Thus a series of jar
test studies were made in which single isotopes
and mixtures of isotopes were subjected to
similar treatment processes to obtain data on

certain radioisotopes would be more easily
removed when combined with other isotopes or
whether such combinations would interfere

Benthic deposits in our nation's rivers, lakes,
reservoirs, and estuaries are producing very dif-
ficult problems of pollution including eutrophi-
cation. The only solution for the majority of the
problems is the removal of these deposits.
However, this does not represent a final solu-
tion. Disposal of the voluminous dredgings may
result in surface and ground water pollution at
the disposal site. Such pollution can be con-
trolled by dewatering the deposits prior to final
disposal. Gravity dewatering of these highly or-
ganic, compressible materials on prepared
soils appears practicable. The authors have
made a theoretical analysis of gravity dewater-
ing of dredging slurries and dilute organic
suspensions. A three-parameter equation was
developed relating dewatering rate to the solids
content, specific resistance, and compressibili-
ty coefficient of the suspensions. It is felt that a
rational basis for design and operation of
dredging dewatering sites now exists. (Author

Krypton-83m has several useful applications. It
can be used to follow the separation of (85)Kr
from air for surveillance purposes and it is
potentially attractive for studies of pulmonary
function. Although several methods for the
production of (S3m)Kr have been proposed, no
generator for laboratory use has been reported.
A convenient method of producing such a
generator seems to be by means of (83)Rb
which decays with an abundance of 77 per cent
to (83m)Kr. For the purpose of (83m)Kr produc-
tion, the purity of (83)Rb is irrelevant and the
presence of (84)Rb commonly accompanying
(83)Rb poses no problem. With a half life of 83
days (83)Rb is well suited for laboratory use.
The report presents a description of a (83)Rb
(83m)Kr generator. (Author Modified Abstract)

The purpose of the paper is to describe a
procedure for the hydrologic computations
necessary to river basin studies. For this paper
hydrology is defined as the science dealing with
water, its properties, phenomena and distribu-
tion, especially with reference to water on the
surface of the land, in the soil and underlying
rock, and in the atmosphere. This definition im-
plies that quantity and quality are hydrologic
factors that are inseparable .for a complete
analysis of existing data. However, it is
proposed herein to separate the computations
by obtaining and analyzing data on quantities
of flow, and later superimposing quality data
upon the quantity analysis to determine flow
and storage needs for water quality control.

In summary, there is presented as a rational
basis for water pollution control the 'total use'
concept in which all legitimate water uses
receive recognition in an integrated totality with
each use accorded its proper emphasis in the
public interest. The use of this concept requires
a primary emphasis on the stream itself and it
would appear that the technical questions in-
volved insofar as industrial wastes are con-
cerned, can best be resolved by an active and
understanding cooperation between industry
and control agencies. (Author)

A chemical method has been sought for the
estimation of the strength of waste products of
either human or industrial origin;.but because
of the complexity of various samples of wastes,
the metabolic activities of the flora and fauna
present do not necessarily follow a-constant
rate. Therefore a chemical method could not
correlate with the biochemical determination of
oxygen demand. However, it is often desirable
to know ina minimum time the approximate ox-
ygen absorbing power of a waste sample so a
chemical oxygen consumed method is satisfac-
tory for this purpose. The report compares the
various methods used in this determination.

Some Observations on the Removal of
Radioactive Materials from Waste Solutions,
Conrad P. Straub.1950,17p
Descriptors: ('Radioactive waste processing,
'Dewatering).
Many of the methods available for use in the
treatment of industrial wastes may be utilized in
the treatment of radioactive wastes; however, it
must be remembered that, just as in sewage
and industrial waste treatment, separation of
the wastes into their liquid and solid fraction
and discharge of the inocuous fraction does
not solve the problem. The residue remains for
disposal. All that can be accomplished is to
concentrate the radioactive fraction into a
smaller volume to permit disposal either as a
sludge or slurry. The report discusses this.
Where incineration is possible, providing
precautions are taken to prevent contamination
by volatile gases or fly ash, further concentra-
tion or reduction in volume may be obtained.
Care must be given also to the removal of the
resultant ash. The reduced volume of solid
material then may be placed in suitable con-
tainers and buried in controlled areas or stored
for decay or future recovery.

Drainage and coalescence within a vertical
foam fractionation column were measured ex-
perimentally. This was accomplished by con-
structing and operating a vertical column
equipped with a series of electrical conductivity
cells mounted internally at various levels. With
these cells, the variation in the local foam den-
sity along the column was determined from the
variation in the local conductance. The change
in bubble size was measured photographically.
Other variables were determined by conven-
tional means. The surfactants employed in-
cluded Triton X-100, albumin, and saponin.
Reflux ratios ranged from zero to infinity. Con-
sideration was given to the increased separa-
tion attainable by vertically elongating the
liquid pool so as to establish a concentration
gradient within it. A detailed analysis of this
phenomenon was prepared in terms of poten-
tial flow and penetration theory at the upstream
portion of the bubble, plus a renewing wake
downstream and an overall solute balance.

Although Lake Erie is still an excellent source
of municipal raw water, the effects of pollution
are becoming ever more discernible. The report
presents the results of a 1967-1968 survey. The
dissolved solids have increased by nine percent
since 1964 with progressively higher concen-
trations from west to east. Most chemical con-
stituents in both water and sediment have in-
creased during the same period. High popula-
tions of phytoplankton. Bloom conditions were
not noted during the 1967-68 sampling period.
Pollution-sensitive types, such as sludgeworms
and bloodworms, were in profusion. The limited
winter program revealed higher bacterial densi-
ties in western basin bottom waters as opposed
to the nonwinter 1963-64 findings where the
highest densities were found in the surface
waters.

The booklet is designed to acquaint the public
community and others interested in radium-226
with the research programs being conducted at
the Southeastern Radiological Health Labora-
tory to minimize radiation dangers of radium.
Radium-226 is a radioactive element which has
application in industry and particularly in
medicine. Its use requires caution. Since its
discovery about 70 years ago, about, 1,300
grams of this nuclide are unaccounted for in
the United States. Improper use of radium-
loaded devices, sources, and damaged
sources, such as these,shown at the left.
represents a radiation danger to health.
Elimination or reduction of this health problem
can -be accomplished through application of
proper handling, testing and management
techniques in the use of radium. To this end,
improvements in transportation, leak testing.
and in assessment of radium and its radiation
dose to humans are being studied. Several
aspects of research activities are discussed, in-
cluding safe storage of unwanted radium,
development of effective leak-test methods,
and handling equipment. (Author)

Potential transpiration is a measure of the rate
at which water can be transmitted from
evaporation sites in plant leaves to the at-

defined as a measure of the capacity of a soil to
transmit water to a root site. A differential equa-
tion is presented describing radial flow of soil
moisture to a single vertical sink (root) in an in-
finite soil mass which is initially at a uniform
moisture content. .The relationship between
moisture, content and diffusivity for the soils
studied may be represented by an exponential

The Guide summarizes the sources of pollution
in the wool-processing industry, the polluting
effects of woolen-mill wastes, and information
on the methods- of dealing with the waste
problems of the industry. Four separate opera-
tions of the industry produce liquid wastes:
opening and scouring, spinning, dyeing, and
finishing. Significant polluting characteristics
of these individual wastes include oxygen de-
mand, suspended solids, acidity, alkalinity,
color, and grease. The polluting effect of the
wastes may be reduced by substituting deter-
gents for soap, mineral acids for acetic,
synthetic compounds for starch, and similar
changes. Limiting the amounts of acids, bases,
and reducing agents to the actual requirements
for the process also will reduce waste loads.
Wool fibers, wool grease, and fertilizer material
all may be recovered from the wastes. The
wastes may be treated in combination with
domestic sewage, or they may be treated by (1)
coagulation and precipitation with chemicals,
(2) chlorination, (3) biological processes, arid
(4) adsorption, The Information contained in
this Guide can help the mill supervisor carry out
his increasing responsibility to reduce the pol-
luting effect of the mill wastes. Much can be ac-
complished through good housekeeping
procedures which also reduce operating costs.

Public health biologists are often responsible
for teaching animal indentification to personnel
(sanitarians, engineers, physicians, veterinari-

One of the most successful devices for such
training has been the pictorial key. After the
Communicable Disease Center was founded
(1946) many such keys were developed. At
present the Center utilizes more than 75 such
keys in its regular training program. These are
the major items incorporated into this booklet.
Apropos morphological diagrams are also in-

is essential to their efficient control. The pic-

found in reference works and scientific papers
except that they are arranged as diagrams and

Concepts in water pollution control are chang-
ing to meet the impact of population and indus-
trial growth. No longer can the use of water-
ways as receptacles of uncontrolled wastes be
accepted as a legitimate use of water. All users
of waters have a responsibilit for returning
those waters to the stream as clean as is techni-
cally possible. This is the new scope of national
water pollution control policy. (Author)

Liquid alum and sodium aluminate were util-
ized for phosphorus removal at 1.0 and 0.2 mil-
lion gal./day activated sludge municipal waste-
water treatment plants. Phosphorus removals
were determined at aluminum to phosphorus
ratios up to a limiting point which exhibited a
minimum total soluble phosphorus residual of
about 1.0 mg./liter. More efficient use of chemi-
cal and higher phosphorus removal efficiencies
are obtained in a multistage activated sludge
system. The type of activated sludge system
also influenced chemical phosphorus
removals. Excessive effluent suspended solids
were found to be more a function of the volatile
solids produced to aluminum added ratio than
of exceeding a given aluminum to phosphorus
ratio or aluminum dosage. Batch studies in-
dicate that aluminum as alum will outperform
iron as ferric chloride on a performance/cost
basis and that the best point of addition is just
before solids-liquid separation. The considera-
tions involved in this type of phosphorus
removal system are discussed. (Author)

The evident tpnd in the taste and odor quality
of raw water is downward. Estimates of stream
pollution in terms of population equivalents
show an ever-upward trend. Taste and odor
loads may be expected to increase more rapidly
than loads in terms of 'population equivalents'
because of many factors. Subject to relief by
self-purification in streams, organic pollutants
of surface waters present an additive assault on
water quality, and each tangible organic source
is a factor in determining the odor of the result-
ing water. These topics are discussed.

The purpose of the study was to outline and
demonstrate an ion exchange water treatment
system made low cost through a system of
recovering and reusing regenerants. The need
of the study was to prove that nitrate salts can
be conveniently dissociated into acid and base
useful for regeneration of ion exchange resins.
The scope of the study covered laboratory scale
steam calcination studies of nitrate salts, and
continuous ion exchange runs to show
economics in regenerant use and minimum
dilution inherent in a continuous counter-cur-
rent flow system. (Author)

control needs in the Willow Creek Basin. The
objective of the study was to determine on a
preliminary basis whether or not provisions for
municipal and industrial water supply and/or
low flow augmentation for stream quality con-
trol should be considered in the planning of the
proposed reservoir. Studies involved Heppner,
Oregon (population 1.660), located immediately
below the proposed dam site, and Lexington,
Oregon (population 240) and lona, Oregon
(population 350), situated approximately eight
miles and seventeen miles downstream from
Heppner, respectively.

removal of the mineral portion of the use incre-
ment in sewage prior to re-use. Specifically, (1)
to optimize the operating variables of a strong
acid cation-weak base anion exchange system
for the partial demineralization of brackish
waste water, (2) to develop a rational basis for
the design of partial demineralization systems
for municipal use, (3) to identify the limitations
and the operational difficulties, and (4) to deter-
mine the economic feasibility of the process in
comparison with other methods.

The broad objective of the study was to op-
timize the design and operating cycle of ion
exchange systems for the specific purpose of
demineralizing brackish waters for municipal
use. As regenerant chemicals comprise a major
item of cost in ion exchange demineralization,
special emphasis was placed on ascertaining
the most efficient exhaustion-regeneration
cycle. Throughout the study advantage was
gained by using the generally lower domestic
criteria of mineral acceptability in comparison
with the usual industrial requirements for low
conductivity water.

which the public health would not be endan-

formulated. The survey covered practically the
entire period of April, May and June. 1941, and
was made by three cooperating laboratories

temperature as a parcel of water moves
downstream. The elements of the problem are:
(1) the mass of water affected in a given time
period; (2) the energy input per unit of area for
this period; (3) the exposed area of the water
surface. The problem is to find the value of area
and energy input for a given set of weather and

Pollution from acid mine drainage is a chronic
problem. The current vigorous interest has led
to a re-examination of the methods of measur-
ing total acidity, which are clearly based on the
limited laboratory capabilities of prior years.
Defined acid-metal mixtures containing
iron(lll), aluminum(lll), iron(ll), and hydrogen
ion were reacted with sodium hydroxide under
varying titration conditions. Results- snowed
that at 25C a reliable measure of the total acidi-
ty can be obtained by oxidizing iron(ll) with
hydrogen peroxide and stopping the titration at
pH 7.3. Hydroloysis of Fe(lll) and Al(lll) was
complete at pH 7.3 before formation of alu-
minate ion. Positive interference due to man-
ganese and hardness can be held to a minimum
by proper selection of sample volume. Acidity
due to carbon dioxide is easily removed by
aeration. The procedure was applied to the
analysis of acid mine sample with added stan-
dards with recoveries of 98 to 103%. (Author)

During the summer of 1961, the Public Health
Service and Oregon State Sanitary Authority
cooperated in several water quality surveys on
the lower Willamette River downstream of
Oregon City. Sampling station locations were
midstream at No. 1 - SP and S Bridge (R.M. 7.0);
No. 2 - Steel Bridge (R.M. 12.0); No. 3 - Staff
Jennings (R.M. 16.5). The three stations were
sampled every two hours at midstream for a 24-
hour period. Measurements were made at the
surface, mid-depth, and bottom 1 / of dissolved
oxygen, biochemical, oxygen demand, sulfite
waste liquor, pH, and temperature. The BOD
and SWL were sampled at mid-depth only.
River stage data was made available by the U. S.
Weather Bureau which operates a recording
water level gage in the Portland Harbor.

The project was designed to demonstrate the
feasibility of using refined tracer techniques to
measure mixing and diffusion taking place
under non-steady, non-uniform flow condi-
tions. Specifically, the test demonstrated the
feasibility of using fluorescent dyes to trace
polluted water, traveling as a power wave, into
and through a stratified impoundment. Mea-
surements of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical
mixing were made to demonstrate the feasibili-
ty and ease of this technique in determining
mixing coefficients, which can be used to pre-
dict the spread of polluted inflows in a stratified
environment.

small storage reservoirs throughout an urban
community as a means of storm water pollution
control. Facilities were provided to treat the
water prior to release or to provide sub-potable
or potable water for use in the community. A
conventional approach to controlling storm

purposes. Computerized system analysis was
used to select the optimal combinations of
reservoir locations, type of treatment, and type
of reuse on a least cost per day basis. Alterna-
tives were ranked and the optimal practical
solution determined considering the con-

Lagoons for industrial wastes have developed
out of simple holding pits to contain solids and
remove water by evaporation, infiltration, or
overflow. The eventual failure of such lagoons
has led to more sophisticated management of
various types. Lagoons are used to provide one
or more of the following treatments: mixing and
equalization of loads, clarification and reten-
tion of solids, dewatering, chemical neutraliza-
tion or conversion, and removal of biologically
active materials. Each of these functions is
discussed with emphasis on the ultimate fate of
the materials that have been placed into the

Stream water to be assayed for beta radioactivi-
ty will have natural radioactivity with or without
artificial radioactivity. The principle source of
natural radioactivity is from K40 and from urani-
um, thorium and their daughter products. The
artificial radioactivity will be the result of con-
tamination from (a) the disposal of radioactive
wastes, (b) fall-out'from a contaminated at-
mosphere, and (c) the use of stream waters by
atomic energy installations. The paper

Shark River and Inlet, Manasquan .River and
inlet, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the vari-

waterway. The study waters have a surface area
of more than 115,000 acres. Municipal and in-
stitutional waste discharges constitute the
greatest source of pollution within the New Jer-
sey coastal basin. A recent Federal Water Pollu-
tion Control Administration survey of municipal
and institutional wastes discharged into the
New Jersey Coastal Basin between Shark River
and Cape May found that: 23 sources discharge
directly into the Atlantic Ocean. 30 discharge
directly jnto the estuary (shellfish waters), 23.
including three Federal installations, discharge
to tributary streams. The report summarizes in-

Wool Textile Weaving and Finishing Industry:
the second section, the Cotton textile Finishing
Industry;.and the third, section, the Synthetic

: are complex, variable, and in constant transi-

of fabric and color varies, the wastes generated
by the industry change also. For this reason, the
Study has emphasized the principal types of
textiles produced. For the purposes of this
study, it is important to differentiate between
the finishing process and the textile operations
preceding it. Except for the scouring of raw
wool, the making of raw fiber into unfinished
cloth Or yarn is essentially a dry operation. The
finishing operation is a large producer of liquid
wastes, however, and is the segment of the in-
dustry which concerns us.

drop size distribution formed in an atomization
process for liquid with non-Newtonian rheolog-
ical behavior. This study was motivated by the
potential application of the Atomization
Suspension Technique in ultimate disposal and
the observation that suspensions and slurries
often behave like non-Newtonian fluid. The
principal findings are: The freezing technique is
an account method of determining liquid drop
sizes; The drop size distribution of non-New-
tonian liquid can be described in terms of
square-root normal distribution; and A
stochastic model was successfully developed
for the breakup mechanism in penumatic

For three generations pollution of the Delaware
has been self-evident. However, up to now
there has never been available a detailed analy-
sis of that pollution; what it is, who is responsi-
ble for it what might be done, and what it would
cost to abate it In 1957-58. at the request of the
Corps of Engineers, the Public Health Service
made a preliminary study of, pollution in the
Delaware Estuary. This in turn led to the making
of the comprehensive study covered by the re-
port The study was begun in 1961 by the Water
Supply and Pollution Control Division of the

Radioactive luminous compounds represent a
significant potential source of radiation expo-
sure to both industrial workers and the general
public. Luminous compounds with tritium as
the activating agent are in relatively widespread
usage in the painting of watch and instrument
dials and in the production of radio-lu-
minescent light sources. It is therefore desira-
ble to have accurate information regarding the
degree of uptake and the metabolic behavior of
tritiated luminous compounds in general, and
comparative data regarding the specific
tritiated compounds now in use. In the present
study the gastrointestinal(GI) tract and cutane-
ous absorptions of four commercially available
tritiated luminous compounds were in-
vestigated. The cat was chosen as the experi-
mental animal for studies of Gl tract absorption
because of the relative similarity of its Gl system
with that of the human. Cutaneous absorption
of the tritiated compounds was studied in the
rat.

forms of phosphorus in the wastewater, but
removals to residuals of 0.3 mg./liter as P oc-
curred only above pH 11.5, where precipitated
magnesium hydroxide flocculated the turbidity.
Nitrification of the wastewater during
biochemical (secondary) treatment reduced the
lime requirement for precipitation, the amounts
of sludge from precipitation, and also improved
phosphorus removals. Liming of organic free
solutions insolubilized mixtures of ortho and
pplyphosphates by pH 10, although insolu-
bilization of meta or tripolyphosphate alone
required a pH above 11. The degree of
biochemical oxidation significantly influenced
the phosphorus removals, while temperature
and ionic strength did not. (Author)

When a pesticide formulation plant and
warehouse at Massies Mill, Virginia, was
destroyed by flood waters in 1969, it was not
known whether the pesticides or other toxic
materials had contaminated the river, and sam-
ples were urgently needed during the initial
flood period. Boat sampling or sampling from a
helicopter were unsafe, and representative
sampling locations were inaccessible. It was
decided that samples would be taken utilizing
an aerial pick-up technique generally used for
air rescue operations. The report describes this
technique.

The article discusses high molecular weight
polymers, which are natural anionic polyelec-
trolytes bearing an excess of negative charges.
They are present in the effluents of waste water
treatment plants employing biological
processes. These colloids are derived prin-
cipally from the capsular slimes of bacteria and
other microorganisms. Although the absolute
quanility of polymers is less than 10 mg. I., the
effects produced by these hydrocolloids have a
large influence on physiocochemical processes
used to purify waste water. The polymers offer
great resistance to filtration and interfere with
other membrane processes such as electrodial-
ysis and heat transfer.

Missouri River Basin includes that reach of the
Missouri River from below the mouth of Milk
River in Montana to the mouth of Spring Creek.
South Dakota, the Devils Lake Area, the James
River Basin, and the United States portions of
the Souris and Red River Basins. The plan calls
for diversion of Missouri River water at strategic
points for multipurpose use and to supplement
available water in the Souris, Red, and James
River Basins. This report covers the Missouri-
Souris-Red area. The James River Basin will be
presented in another report. Among the many
contemplated water uses of the resource con-
servation plan are those for municipal, industri-
al, public health, sanitation and related pur-
poses. In order to determine these needs, infor-
mation is required on present water quantity
and quality; and types, sources, and extent of
pollution in streams of the region. A general
section of the report deals with over-all water
supply and water pollution problems pertinent
to the area and includes survey methods,
review of State Water Pollution Control Law,
conclusions and recommendations. The major
sub-basins are discussed in detail in separate
sections of the report. Pertinent detail informa-
tion, laboratory and flow data, and other
presentations are included as appendixes.

greater than 90 microgram of carbazole in the
3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone and p-

be used for the estimation of carbazole in the
benzene extracts of airborne particulates. Two
new spot tests for carbazole are also in-
troduced. With the p-nitrosophenol test 0.4
microgram of carbazole can be detected. This
test can be applied to air samples. In strongly
alkaline solution 0.2 microgram of carbazole
can be detected through the brilliant blue
fluorescence of the anion.

The paper reviews the efforts of the Southeast-
ern Radiological Health Laboratory in low-level
counting by liquid scintillation. The author has
dealt primarily with (3H) counting but have
recognized that low-level counting of other
radionuclides may be - carried out ad-
vantageously by the same technique. All in-
vestigations reported here have been carried
out using a Beckman liquid scintillation system
except where specifically mentioned. There are
a number of factors affecting the performance
of low-level counting systems, and various at-
tempts have been made to correlate these fac-
tors in a single formula. The major factors
determining the sensitivity of a low-level count-
ing system are background, efficiency, and
sample size. Other factors, such as the require-
ments of time and skill for sample preparation,
and the convenience of operation, are impor-
tant but have relatively little effect on the sen-
sitivity of the system.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Adminis-

surveillance stations throughout the United
States, consisting largely of automatic monitors
emplaced on rivers and streams to record water
quality changes throughout the year. The auto-
matic monitors serve as a crucial information
source in water quality management to protect
desired water uses, particularly fish migration.
During the critical period, the data must be
keyed to weather and streamflow forecasts to
allow management agencies to maintain water
quality above minimum levels. The report
describes the device which was developed to
reduce the maintenance time and expense
required for accurate water quality information
from automatic monitors.

effects of waste discharges representative of up
to one-fourth of the U.S. Navy's entire active

craft containing sanitary facilities, over a hun-
dred ships of the West Coast commercial fish-

discharged from these vessels were found to
create conditions that are hazardous to health,
aesthetically offensive and damaging to

The Baltimore metropolitan area, like all
metropolitan areas in the United States, has ex-
perienced unprecedented growth in recent
years. Such growth will be accompanied by
multiplied problems of urban living. Among the
continuing problems will be air pollution. In-
dustrial emissions add to unsatisfactory levels
of pollutants. The individual's automobile is
part of one of the largest, most offensive groups
of air pollution sources. At present,, participate
pollutants are a problem. Sulfur dioxide levels
have been reduced recently, but remain a
potential problem. During summers, Los An-
geles-type photochemical smog has appeared
as indicated by hydrocarbon and oxidant levels
measured.' Higher nitrogen oxide and carbon
monoxide levels can be expected in the future
as a result of the lack of control of nitrogen
oxide emissions and the anticipated increase in
automobile use. Recommendations are set
forth for effective control authority and regula-
tions throughout the metropolitan area.

December 1976
The U.S. Public Health Service Drinking Water
Standards of 1962 recommend that nitrates in
drinking water be limited to 45 milligrams per
liter. This limit has been set because of the as-
sociation of high nitrates in water with the in-
cidents of methemoglobinemia in infants. The
results of investigations on the removal of
nitrates from irrigation return waters in the San
Joaquin Valley in California have indicated that
biological denitrification may be an economi-
cally feasible way to remove nitrates. The pur-
pose has been to develop methods to control
the discharge of undesirable quantities of
nitrates into the San Francisco Bay System
rather than to develop a process for nitrate
removal from a municipal water supply. How-
ever, of the several processes studied, biologi-
cal denitrification in filter beds has proved to
have the stability and efficiency of operation
that would be necessary for treatment 'of a
drinking water supply. The paper contains a
summary of the pilot-plant studies which were
conducted to estimate chemical requirements,
to evaluate possible filter media, and to deter-
mine the important operating parameters.

The family Tubificidae are characterized as
'small aquatic worms, up to 200 mm in length,
with setae in four bundles per segment, with
usually an interminate number of setae per
bundle.' The family Tubificidae according to
present systematic studies contains approxi-
mately eighteen genera. Representatives of two
of the genera, Limnodrilus and Tubifex are the
most commonly found types. Tubificids have a
reputation for resistance to pollutants. The
common name of 'sludge worms' attest to that.
However, no quantitative work on the extent of
this resistance has been carried out. For a term
such as 'tolerant' to have meaning, some quan-
tification must be carried put under standard
laboratory procedures. This report presents
some data from such procedures and is an at-
tempt to quantify the tolerance of tubificid
worms to three common types of pollutants, the
metals, lead and zinc and the wood preserva-
tive, sodium pentochlorophenol.

From October, 1956 to March, 1957 the City of
Chanute, Kansas, (population 12,000) faced
with a critical water shortage, resorted to use of
its sewage as a source of water supply. The
paper reports on the treatment methods used,
some of the problems which arose, and the
water quality studies which were made during
the period of water recirculation. No adverse ef-
fects on the health of the people were noted but
much of the population used other sources of
drinking water because of the various objec-
tionable characteristics of the public supply.

Medical laboratories. Tests.
The diagnostic stages of intestinal parasites are
differentiated on the basis of specific
morphologic features which can be seen micro-
scopically. Some of the parasites listed occur
only infrequently or accidentally in man; but,
since their diagnostic stages may be confused
with those of the more common organisms,
they have been included here. For example, En-
tamoeba polecki is rarely found in human
feces; however, it closely resembles En-
tamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba coli, and
microscopists unaware of its existence may
mistake it for these species. Likewise, several
helminth species of lower animals which occa-
sionally parasitize man are included. The diag-
nostic stages may be misidentified. For exam-
ple, Trichostrongylus (Nematode) eggs may be
confused with hookworm eggs, and
Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestode) eggs may be
confused with Hymenolepis nana eggs.

A systems analysis approach has been un-
dertaken in investigating the water quality
responses in the Potomac River Basin. The
analyses included the effects of low flow aug-
mentation, wastewater diversions, water supply
withdrawals, and increased degrees of waste-
water treatment on water quality in the upper
estuary. Several techniques or mathematical
models capable of simulating the response of
water quality in an estuary were available when
the study of the Potomac Estuary was un-
dertaken in 1965. After an investigation of the
modeling systems available, the segmented
estuary model developed by Dr. Robert
Thomann was selected as the one which most
closely conformed to the requirements of the
study. It discusses the verification and uses of
this model.

The objective of the Project was to determine
strengths of known sources of wastes and to
obtain an accurate picture of quality at any
point in the waters under study. A large number
of samples were collected and analyzed to yield
the physical, chemical, and bacteriological data
necessary to evaluate the waste loading and
water quality. A system of sampling was set up
to gather data from the Detroit River and tribu-
taries, Michigan part of Lake Erie, beaches, in-
dustrial outfalls, and municipal outfalls. Section
II presents comprehensive surveys of the six
major sewa-.e treatment plants in the Project's
study area These were carried out at various
times throughout the summer and fall in
cooperation with the Michigan Department of

A federal drain (The San Luis Drain) is currently
contemplated in the San Joaquin Valley for the
purpose of collecting and transporting highly
saline agricultural drainage waters to a disposal
point in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta
near the City of Antioch. The effect of the drain
on the quality of the Bay and Delta waters was
studied. The future fifty year period, 1970-2020,
was examined. The scope of this part of the Ap-
pendix is limited to description of effects re-
lated to nutrient enrichment of the San Fran-
cisco Bay-Delta system including effects on
fishery, recreation and shoreline real estate
values. Material is presented describing labora-
tory and field studies, literature surveys on

The report describes the future quality of water
for the year 2010 in the United States Study
Commission - Texas area and determines the
amounts of augmentation water required to
maintain the water quality criteria adopted by
the Commission. The report is .to serve as a
guide in determining and locating points and
reaches in the eight river basins under study
that may need water for water quality control.
This report does not specify sources of water to
be used for quality control. The study and anal-
ysis of the river basins and adjoining areas
show a total need of 827,920 acre-feet of aug-
mentation water to control the deficiency in dis-
solved oxygen.

A two-year study in San Diego Bay reveals that
vessel waste discharges produce undesirable
water quality conditions in areas of concen-
trated vessel activity. The study examined the
effects of waste discharges representative of up
to one-fourth of the U.S. Navy's entire active
fleet, more than twenty-five hundred pleasure
craft containing sanitary facilities, over a hun-
dred ships of the West Coast commercail fish-
ing fleet, and commercial freight vessels cany-
ing in excess of a million tons of cargo to the
Port of San Diego each year. Wastes
discharged from these vessels were found to
create conditions that are hazardous to health,
aesthetically offensive and damaging to
ecological balances in San Diego Bay. (Author)

to study the effect of temperature on removal
efficiency, the ability of a soil to be rejunenated,
the desirability of certain common cations in

pollution control program being followed by
the respective States in the Minnesota River
Basin. This program, which is based on data
available as of January 1, 1954, was developed
after a thorough consideration of the existing
and potential uses of the water resources in the
basin;.the pollution entering the streams and
the resulting damages; .the benefits which may
result from pollution prevention and abate-
ment; .and the prevention measures now in ef-

Indigenous fresh water fish species were col-
lected in all of the major watersheds in Mas-
sachusetts during the summers of 1965. 1966,
and 1967 and an individual analysis of these
fish conducted to determine the concentrations
of DDT and metabolites, DDE and ODD (TOE). In
all, 1,310 individual fish specimens were col-
lected and analyzed,from 93 stations. Mean
DDT concentrations based on the analysis of
five fish per station ranged from 0 17 to 28.88
parts per million. A study of factors relating to
the concentration of pesticide by fish showed
that some fish species had varying abilities to
concentrate DDT. Results of this study are ex-
pressed in parts per million of pesticide found
in whole fish and based on dry weight Conver-
sion factors to convert parts per million based
oh dry weight to parts per million based on wet
weight were determined for nine species of fish.

Discussed is a new process of concentrating
the dissolved inorganic and organic con-
taminents in the waste stream from a tertiary
treatment process by eutectic freezing or
hydrating. In this process a substantial fraction
of the water(93 to 98%) is first removed by any
means such as freezing, hydrating. evapora-
tion, or reverse osmosis. The remaining 2 to 7%
of the waste, which presumably contains all or
most of the original dissolved material, is sub-
jected to temperatures low enough to
precipitate ice and the majority of the organics
and inorganic salts simultaneously. The report
is a description of the work accomplished dur-
ing the period June 1962 to February 1964 in
checking -certain key assumptions made in
designing the eutectic process on paper and
also in observing the behavior of waste water
samples subjected to concentration by freez-
ing.

The report summarizes research into the rela-
tive functional and cost efficiencies of the one-
man crew when compared to alternative two- or
three-man crews for the collection of refuse.
Four basic analytical techniques were used:
comprehensive field surveys;.nationwide sur-
vey data analysis; .time-motion studies; .and a
mathematical model. The comprehensive field
surveys were applied to four municipal collec-
tion systems and two private-firm collection
systems. The time-motion studies compared
field times in three cities with Methods-Time-
Measurement values developed under con-
trolled laboratory conditions. A mathematical
model was designed to permit simulation of the
refuse collection system. The model is a formu-
la which expresses the interrelationships
among the variables affecting collection time
and system cost. Tables and charts have been
prepared to support and illustrate the informa-
tion developed, and the conclusions and
recommendations which have been based
thereon. (Author Modified Abstract)

The purpose of the study was to determine the
need for and value of storage for municipal and
industrial water supply and water quality con-
trol. The studies cover water storage needs and
values during the study periods, usually 50 or
100 years. The present and future needs for
water storage for strearnflow regulation for
quality control are estimated. The present
needs are based on uncontrolled streamflows,
organic and inorganic concentrations and
other miscellaneous factors. Economic projec-
tions, water quality, and prospective legitimate
water uses are used in estimating future needs
for strearnflow regulation for quality control.
The preceding statements are from water
resource reports of studies made in the Four-
State area of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and

operation on water quality in the Sun and Teton
Rivers and in the proposed project reservoirs,
(2) to ascertain what benefits are achieved or
lost from changes in water quality, (3) to assess
the suitability of the water for proposed water
uses, and (4) to determine the need for and
value of streamflow regulation for the purpose
of water quality control. The necessity of
streamflow regulation was studied not only in
light of present conditions but also for an-
ticipated future conditions in the study area to
the year 2075. The study area includes the Sun

The report is focused on the presentation of the
principal findings of the study as they relate to
requirements for action to control pollution. It
emphasizes that pollution does exist in the Wil-
lamette River system, that pulp and paper mills
that have been subject to less stringent waste
control requirements than municipalities and
other sources of waste are the major causes of
pollution, that pollution abatement will require
immediate improvements in the level of waste
reduction achieved in the Willamette River
system, and that the continuing control of pol-
lution will impose demands for action well into
the future upon the people and industries of the
Willamette River Basin, as well as upon the
State and Federal agencies that serve them.

The report presents data which indicate that
pipe and pump systems can alter the dissolved
oxygen concentration, percent saturation and
temperature of a water sample as it is pumped
from a river to a distant sampling site. These
data were obtained at the Little Miami River
Field Test Station during the period July 27 to
September 21, 1962. A jet and a submersible
pump were delivering water through 400 feet of
plastic pipe against a lift of 44 feet. (Author

rats, and flies exist in the Basin and constitute a

especially mosquitoes and rats, are directly as-

the waters of the Basin. This pollution is Instru-
mental in creating and supporting the present
high population levels of disease-carrying vec-
tors, particularly in the Denver Metropolitan
area. Future vector population levels will
remain high as long as significant quantities of
organic pollutants are discharged to the waters
of the Basin. Reduction or elimination of

problem in wastewater treatment. The initial
concept of the demonstration project Was to
develop a process that would employ-wet
digested sewage sludge to reclaim seashore
land. This final report contains the results of
four programs that were conducted serially.
The first program demonstrated with laboratory
scale experiments the critical problems and the
feasibility of the proposed concepts. The
second program employed bench scale experi-
ments concerned with pollution, drying and
settling of the sludge. The third program em-
ployed truck load samples and these results
form the basis for the conclusion presented.
The fourth program of full scale field demon-
stration is in progress.

A matrix method has been developed for calcu-
lating dissolved oxygen profiles near and within
slimes of microorganisms bathed by flowing
nutrient medium. The matrix manipulations and
recursions necessitated by non-linearities in
the equations are carried out in FORTRAN pro-
gramming on an IBM-360 computer. The com-
puter provides numerical output and plots of
dissolved oxygen concentration versus either
distance from the slime surface or distance
along the slime. A diffusion mechanism is as-
sumed, and equations are derived from mass
balances for oxygen and from the laws of diffu-
sion. Two situations which were studied in
detail were the development of steady-state ox-
ygen profiles as medium flowed past a microbi-
al slime and the profile established at an infinite
distance along a microbial slime. (Author

waste heat (i.e. from cooling water or flue
gases) to improve conventional and advanced
wastewater treatment processes was in-
vestigated. Important sources of waste heat
were identified and the effects of increased
temperature on wastewater treatment
processes were explored. A cost/benefit analy-
sis indicated favorable application of waste
heat in conventional wastewater treatment
plants adjacent to heat sources where at least
secondary treatment is employed and the
capacity is greater than 5 MGD. Advanced treat-
ment processes also showing benefits from
waste heat use were reverse osmosis, carbon

Water was pumped from Jackson Creek into the

analyses were undertaken on the influent and
effluent from the filter. There was little effect of
the filter on the water chemistry or bacteriologi-

quality, both downstream and in the reservoirs,
under alternative development and operation
schemes, have been analyzed, and an appraisal

The influence of altered quality on present and
future uses and the net change to be expected
in these uses have been determined, consider-
ing both beneficial and detrimental. Available

Oxidation Channel type of sewage treatment as
developed in Holland will remove more of the
plant nutrients from the effluent than is possi-
ble with the more conventional types of sewage
treatment. One of the principle investigators
visited a number of these plants in Europe and
came to the conclusion that these plants had
the unique feature of assimilating much of the
nitrogen and phosphate into microbial
protoplasm that could be removed from the
system before these ingredients were again
released into solution through a breakdown or
decomposition-of the microorganisms involved.

The research was to prepare a model of the
lower reaches of the Kansas River drainage
basin. This model was to be used for opera-
tional and planning activities within the basin.
During the course of the investigation, it
became apparent that the biological, the
chemical, and the time of flow data on the
model region was insufficient to establish many
of the parameters required to accurately
describe the behavior of the drainage system.
The report describes the chemical analysis of

The Chesapeake Bay-Susquehanna River

Control Administration has as its primary objec-
. live the development of a comprehensive pro-
gram for water pollution control in the Ches-
apeake Bay drainage basin. To permit a better
understanding of this complex body of water
and to provide a satisfactory means for analysis
of present and future pollution problems and
selection of optimum control methods, an at-
tempt has been made to model the system in
mathematical terms. To mathematically
describe the fate of pollutants entering such a
tidal system, knowledge of its turbulent disper-
sion properties is required. To gather this type
of information for the upper Potomac estuary, a
dye tracer study was carried out by the Project
during the 34-day period from June 10 to July
14, 1965. The purpose of the5 report is to
describe the procedure used in this large scale
tracer experiment, the results obtained, the
methods used in the analysis of these results.

The analysis provides a preliminary estimate of
the economic potentials and anticipated
growth of the area. The study period is the 50-
year period 1960-2010, with an interim point at
1985. Two limitations apply to this study. The
first is that it is intended only as a preliminary
estimate of the outlook for the area's growth.
The second limitation is that the study is in-
tended for use particularly in assessing future
water needs. Emphasis has been placed on the
analysis of those industries which make heavy
demands upon the water resource. Other in-
dustries have been considered only insofar as
they may have a significant effect on future
population. For this reason, the study is not
submitted as a detailed industrial forecast.

high ends. Both the existing and new main
sewers would be intercepted at appropriate lo-
cations by vertical shafts connecting to a tunnel
system 600 feet or more below the ground sur-
face. These tunnels, or galleries, would both
temporarily, store storm water overflows and
drain these waters to a reversible pump-turbine

Anaerobic waste treatment is a biological
process. As such it depends for successful
operation on the maintenance of a proper en-
vironment for the organisms involved. By
delineating this proper environment, a more
complete understanding of the process will be
attained. This will lead to an increase in the
operational control and predictability of
anaerobic treatment. Special attention must be
focused on the problem of toxicity-causing
substances if anaerobic treatment, long a main-
stay of municipal sewage treatment, is to be
successfully extended to the treatment of com-
plex industrial wastes. The effects of high sul-
fide concentrations on anaerobic treatment are
not well understood, and were explored in this
investigation.

Injection wells provide a safe, economical, and

However, the problem of major importance in

clogging factors, physical and biological, were
observed after recharge of either fresh water or

Both clogging processes took place at the
same time during injection. Experimentation
with combination beds of sand and anthracite.
sand, anthracite and carbon, and single beds of
sand or anthracite led to the choice of anthrafilt
filter media as producing the longest filter runs
and the best effluent quality.

Aluminum is present in practically all natural
waters and may appear additionally in treated
waters as a residual from alum coagulation.
There is increasing evidence that very small
amounts of aluminum, such as 0.05 mg/1, en-
tering the distribution system can be objec-
tionable. As a result, a recently proposed rapid
eriochrome cyanine R(ECR) method for the
determination of aluminum in water was tried
and appeared to be at least as accurate as the
aluminon method and less time consuming and
complicated. This study was devised primarily
to evaluate the ECR method and compare it
with the existing aluminon standard method for
aluminum in the presence and absence of inter-
ferences (fluorides, polyphosphales, and other
metals).

The review proved conclusively that (1) even
though not all streams are polluted, our major
streams are gravely affected and the problem is
Nation-wide, and (2) pollution is a factor that al-
ready affects or eventually will affect all water
resources development, whether it be for flood
control, irrigation, hydroelectric power, mu-
nicipal and industrial use, or recreation. These
11 field surveys covered 4,409 municipalities
and 3,413 industrial plants. Of the cities stu-
died, 1,912, or 43 percent, were discharging raw
untreated waste into nearby water. The surveys
reveal a predominance of pollution in the heavi-
ly populated, highly industrialized East.

ing lower and higher molecular weights. The
various polymer systems were characterized by
Brookfield viscosity and foaming tendency in
aqueous solution. These polymers were evalu-
ated for efficiency in removing solids from un-

As part of the research concerning the develop-

having low exhaust emission, one approach
which is being investigated is the Rankine cycle
which includes a reciprocating steam expander
as the prime mover. For maximum engine per-
formance, high temperatures and pressures
similar to modern steam power plant practice
are required. For these operating conditions,
liquid lubricants for cylinder and inlet valve
lubrication are a limitation. The report
discusses the following concerning this
research: Additional design analyses for lubri-
cant wear which indicate the life for the gra-
phite rings should be satisfactory; Planning for
assembly of cost data on primary and alternate
materials for both the crosshead piston and
trunk piston designs;. The Mobil • synthetic

cludes those streams draining eastward to the
Atlantic Ocean, the various bays and harbors,
and the immediate Coastal waters. The Region
lies entierly within the State of New Jersey. The
discharge of waste from municipalities and nu-
merous other sources degrades water quality
and prevents full utilization of this natural
resource throughout the Region. The purpose

straints are excluded. It is assumed that con-
sideration of these more subjective factors will
follow the objective analysis and some reorder-
ing of priorities will be required. It is shown that
existing theory for priority setting is not fool-
proof and much depends on accurate estimat-
ing. The ideas of cost-benefit analysis and
planning are" sueful and if used properly can
bring the problem into clearer focus and lead to
a rational decision making process. .

In the very brief study the removal -with
polyelectrolytes of both soluble organic and in-
soluble organic and inorganic materials is con-
sidered. Particular attention is given to the use
of Primafloc C-7. a polyamine bisulfate salt
which permits much greater removals to be at-
tained than do other presently known cationic
polyelectrolytes. Emphasis is placed upon the
removal of soluble, anionic, organic foulants
from aqueous streams. These materials are
known to irreversibly foul conventional anion
exchange resins. Economical removal of such
anionic. organic foulants should increase con-
siderably the useful life of such anion exchange
resins.

The present study has investigated the possi-

absorption of tritium from luminous com-
pounds in the Chinese hamster. The following
conclusions were' reached: Tritium was ab-
sorbed through the skin of Chinese hamsters as
indicated by the appearance of significant
amounts of tritium in the urine of the test
animals. Chromosomal aberrations were
produced at 7 and 30days to both lung and kid-
ney tissues. The type of aberrations most often
found demonstrated that more damage oc-
curred during the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

The Environmental Protection Agency is spon-

sions. One approach being investigated is the
Rankine cycle which includes a reciprocating
steam expander as the prime mover. For max-
imum engine performance, high temperatures
and pressures similar to modern steam power
plant practice are required. For these operating
conditions, liquid lubricants for cylinder and
inlet valve lubrication are a limitation. Solid
lubricants, to be investigated in this program,
appear to offer long life at high temperatures.
Potential system contamination problems from
liquid lubricants introduced to the working fluid
are also reduced. Phase I of this program in-
cludes the design of practical single cylinder
reciprocating expanders for the purpose of
evaluating solid lubricants and other support-
ing materials for use in a Rankine cycle au-
tomotive propulsion system utilizing a water
base fluid.

The profile is a qualitative and quantitative
description of wastes and wastewater
generated in the Dairy Industry. The industry is
examined in its important major subdivisions as
follows: Creamery butter; .Cheese, natural and
processed;.Condensed and evaporated milk;
Ice cream and* frozen desserts; .Fluid milk; The
waste and wastewater estimates are developed
from actual plant operating experience, and are
correlated with manufacturing processes and
are augmented with waste reduction and
removal cost estimates. Projections of waste
and wastewater for future years are developed
in detail.

The report estimates the costs of providing
waste treatment to. the total urban population of
the U. S by 1973 (162.6 million) at appropriate
treatment levels to comply with water quality
standards. In order,, to meet the standards by
1973, it is estimated that 90% of .the urban
population will require secondary treatment
facilities and'10% primary treatment facilities.
, The urban population in 1973 will be,75% of the
total U. S. population. Currently, only. 55% of
the urban .population is served by adequate
waste treatment facilities.

The publication represents the combined ef-
forts of dairy waste sanitary engineers, dairy
waste technologists, and others of the dairy in-
dustry to develop a practical guide for milk
plant management and operating personnel.
The subject of milk plant wastes, with methods
of recovery and treatment, has been extensively
Studied for years by State and Federal agencies,
experiment stations,- sanitary" engineers, and
other individuals. For the'purpose of this guide
results as; are available have been used to
demonstrate'the various types of treatment.
This publication emphasizes the appreciable
reduction of dairy waste which can be accom-
plished through a waste-prevention program
that can be carried out within the processing
plant; Practical procedures.,are described.
Some performance data'are presented which
will serve to emphasize to milk plant superviso-
ry personnel the value of waste prevention
methods in deducting total waste treatment
costs.

which diatomite filters may be used success-
fully, to study the effect of various variables on
filtration economy and effectiveness, and to
outline a procedure for designing a plant to
operate with maximum economy. The topics
discussed include: Permeability of diatomite
filter cakes containing various clay minerals;

A number of studies were undertaken related to
effects of clearcut logging on water quality and
the process affected in small streams. Water
temperature studied before and after logging
was increased significantly where stream cover
was removed. Energy balances of small streams
were measured and predictive models were
developed. Road building significantly in-
creased sediment yield in clearcut and patch
cut watersheds. Logging itself was not an im-
portant sediment contributor. Methods for sam-
pling bed load and suspended sediment were
developed. Bed load constituted 70 percent of

The objective of this project was to discover a
compound which would effectively and
economically control the growth of nuisance
species of bluegreen algae and would also
exert a minimum impact on the more desirable
aquatic life. Acomputer search was made of
some 80.000 compounds and thirty-three were
selected for testing. Those compounds which
gave at least 80% control at 2.0 ppm against
both Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena
flos-aquae. the specified target species of blue-
green > algae, were selected for secondary
screening tests at 1.0,0.5 and 0.1 ppm. Of the
thirty-three compounds tested, four were
selected for further research in the long-range
algaecidal development program. In addition.
an organism. Ochromonas oyalis. was
discovered whose phagocytic action against
Microcystis sp. was enhanced by compounds
having algaecidal properties. (Author Modified

tary features of water supplies with which they
are concerned. The text is divided into four sec-
tions. Part I gives those features of water-
supply systems which are of sufficient im-
portance to be included in a sanitary survey,
and lists major sanitary defects and health
hazards, which, if present, would be detrimen-
tal to the safety of the water supply. Parts II and
III deal, respectively, with recommended sanita-

water-distribution systems. Part IV has been
added as an explanatory discussion of the bac-
teriological and chemical requirements for
potable drinking water as set forth by the 1946

Between the ages of five and sixteen, the
average child spends many of his waking hours
within the school environment. That this en-
vironment should be both as suitable and as
healthful as possible has been an accepted
premise for many years. Yet a long-standing
need has existed for a comprehensive, over-all
statement of basic environmental criteria for,
schools, by which either existing or planned
facilities could be evaluated. The publication
endeavore to meet that need. The basic recom-
mendations and the standards that it contains
are the result of three years of thorough and
careful study, in cooperation .with school offi-

The vehicle tested in this study Was a 1967 Pon-
tiac Tempest station wagon with an overhead
cam six cylinder engine. The engine was
modified to provide internal exhaust gas recir-
culation. An air pump and a catalytic reactor
were also added for further emission reduc-
tions. A special Texaco design ignition system
was provided to allow operation at leaner fuel
air ratios and to provide more energy for spark
propagation. A complete series of hot and cold
emission tests were run using these test cycles:
(1) 1970 Federal Emission Test Procedure; (2)
1972 Federal Emission Test Procedure;.(3) a
combination using 9 repeats of the 1970 driving
cycle. It was concluded that the vehicle, as
tested, did not meet the requirements of 1975 or
1976 emission standards. The results of the hot
start tests indicate that better control over the
choke and warm up, 1975 emissions could be
met. The prospect of this vehicle meeting 1976
standards seem slight without further NO(X)
control.

The exhaust emission characteristics of three
prototype low-emiSsion vehicles were in-

transmission and air-conditioning. Vehicle no.
1 used a modified choke system, exhaust gas
recirculation, air injection, a single catalytic
reactor, and a charcoal canister to collect un-
burned hydrocarbons from the exhaust during
the cold portion of the test. Vehicle no. 2 also
had a modified choke, exhaust gas recircula-
tion, air injection, and two catalytic reactors.
Vehicle no. 3 used similar choke modifications
and exhaust gas recirculation. This vehicle was
equipped with air injection and a catalytic reac-
tor. The following tests were performed: (1)
Standard 1970 Federal test procedure for ex-
haust emissions (FTP); (2) Closed, constant
volume sampling technique using nine repeats
of the Federal emissions test cycle (9X7); (3)
Closed, constant volume sampling technique
using the LA4-S4 driving schedule as
developed for 1972 and later testing. All three
vehicles showed considerable emission reduc-
tions relative to present production vehicles. It
is expected that a considerable driveability loss
could be expected based' on dynamometer
evaluations.

procedure for certification of new vehicles was
used. The tabulated results indicated the fol-

the vehicles tested are below 1972 standards;.
(2) the level of emission of the vehicles tested
are below the p roposed 1975 standards.

The exhaust emission characteristics of the
•Brisko Heavy Duty PCV Valve Adaptation' was
studied as a part of an evaluation of retro-fit
devices. The Brisko device replaced the stock
PCV valve on a 1970 Chevrolet equipped with a
350 CID, 300 hp. high compression engine and
automatic transmission. The following tests
were performed: six baseline tests during
which the vehicle was in stock condition, and
five device tests during which the vehicle was
equipped with the Brisko device. All tests were
performed according to the Federal test
procedures for 1972 and later testing, using a
constant volume sampling technique. The
results, which are tabulated, led to the follow-
ing conclusions: (1) emission reductions were
marginal and would not by themselves warrant
installation of the device: (2) only a marginal
fuel saving was measured.

As part of a program to develop methods for
measuring exhaust emissions from alternate
powerplants for automobiles, tests were con-
ducted on two Rankine cycle power plants in-
stalled in chassis, and designated as: SE101
and SE124. The SE124 engine uses a double
acting, double expansion V-2 expander with a
displacement of 124 cubic inches and is
mounted in a 1969 Chevelle sedan. The SE101
uses a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix body. The ex-
pander is an in-line four cylinder, single stage,
single acting engine of 101 cu. in. displace-
ment. The 1972 Federal Test Procedure was fol-
lowed as closely as possible, however, certain
deviations were made in the test procedure
because of the nature of these unconventional
engines. Exhaust samples were measured for
CO, CO2, NO, NO(x), and hydrocarbons. Fuel
consumption was determined. The results are
discussed and tabulated. Neither car met the
1975 exhaust emission standards according to
results from the hot start and cold start tests.

Phosphates in waste water may be removed
electrochemically utilizing sacrificial elec-
trodes. The electrode metal is first dissolved by
the flow of current then precipitates out, remov-
ing from solution the phosphate ions. This
removal is either dependent on chemical reac-
tion of the metal cation and the phosphate
anions or, possibly, on the adsorption of the
phosphate by the metal hydroxide floe. Data on
the phosphate removal was gathered using
both aluminum and iron electrodes. Essentially
complete removal was found to occur on using
300 coulombs/liter of charge flow with normal
phosphate concentrations for both types of
electrodes. Treatment costs (excluding labor
and filtration) have been estimated when using
iron and aluminum electrodes respectively. Ex-
ploratory tests indicated that flotation by means
of the hydrogen generated during the electroly-
sis may be used to remove suspended solids
from raw sewage while phosphates are being
removed. (Author Modified Abstract)

winner in the Liquid Fuel Division of the 1970
Clean Air Car Race. The use of methanol as a
fuel is the basic technique used in the Stanford
Gremlin for control of pollutant emissions. Car-
buretor jets were changed to furnish air-fuel
ratios slightly on the lean side of stoichiometric.
The intake manifold was modified to supply ad-

catalyst was placed about six inches
downstream of the exhaust manifold. The test
car was an American Motors Gremlin with a 232

that the use of methyl alcohol as fuel can result
in very low emissions. The most noticeable
change on this car was in the reduction of

Vacuum Breaker is basically an airbleed device
resulting in leaner engine combustion. Installa-
tion of the. AVB system requires good shop
equipment as well as several hours of a com-
petent mechanic's time. Two vehicles were out-
fitted with trie AVB system: a 1963 Chevrolet Im-
pala with a 283 cu. in. engine and manual 3-
speed transmission and a 1970 Plymouth
Valiant with a 225 cu. in. engine with automatic
transmission. A series of 1972 Federal emission
tests were performed on both vehicles. It was
concluded thaMhe AVB system is an effective
control system for the reduction of carbon
monoxide. The system has a lesser effect on
hydrocarbon emissions. Nitrogen oxides rose
as a result of the enleanment process. Carbon
dioxide increased with the installation of the
device indicating a potential increase in fuel
consumption. (Author)

Results are discussed and tabulated. The fol-
lowing conclusions were drawn: by averaging
two sets of data, it was determined that the test
vehicle did not meet the ,1975. standards.
Because a new combustor design had been in-
corporated in the engine, it was unadvteable to
perform a larger number of tests. The dri veabili-
ty of this turbine car did not compare to a con-
ventional internal combustion engine vehicle. :

An evaluation of turbocharging and its effect on
emissions was conducted on a 1971 Volk-
swagen that was equipped with a turbocharger
retrofit package-that consisted,of a new ex-
haust system, a revised, heater system and
minor, changes to fuel, oil arid vacuum lines.
The vehicle was a standard model using a four-
speed manual transmission. The engine is a
four-cylinder air-cooled opposed cylinder with
96 cu. in. displacement. The turbocharged vehi-
cle was tested initially with the air concentra-
tion jet in the carburetor plugged, and with a
high idle CO concentration of 2.5 percent. The
carburetor was then adjusted to 0.6 percent idle
CO and with stock air correction jet reinstalled.
The vehicle was tested without the tur-
bocharger with idle CO set at 0.6 percent The
emission; performance of the turbocharged en-
gine was evaluated and its results were com-
pared against the standard engine by using the
1972 Federal test procedure with a constant
volume sampling system and the 1970 Federal
test procedure using the 7-mode driving cycle.
A standard performance test was also run.
Results indicate that the turbocharger installa-
tion has no adverse effect on emissions when
properly installed and adjusted.

As part of a continuous evaluation program of
vehicles for trie U. S. Army Tank-Automotive
Command, two new Army M-151 's were evalu-
ated. This standard Army 'Jeep' has provisions
for two or four wheel drive, a 4-speed manual
transmission and a 4-cylinder engine. The en-
gine, and Army designed overhead valve 4-
cylinder, displacing 141 cu. in., was designed to
be operated over a wide range of temperatures
and grades.* All tests were run using the 1972
Federal emission test procedure which involves
the LA4-S4 driving schedule. The conclusions
drawn from the results are as follows: (1) the
emission levels of the M-151 are quite high
when compared to controlled production au-
tomobiles and trucks; (2) the emission levels of
the M-151 compare with the uncontrolled car
population produced prior to 1966; (3) evapora-

As part of an evaluation of vehicular emission
control devices, a test program was initiated to
determine the emission reduction potential of
the 'FUMCELL'. The device was.installed in the
PCV line of a 1970 Chevrolet Impala and a 1970
Plymouth Valiant. The following emission tests
were performed: Impala - 6 baseline 1972

tion was measured, and flow versus vacuum
tests were conducted. The following conclu-
sions were drawn from test results: (1)
hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions
from both vehicles were substantially reduced;.
(2) fuel consumption effects ranged from a -6
to -7 percent

The effects of the additive Bycosin were evalu-
ated using a 1962 Chevrolet Impala. The follow-
ing tests were performed on the vehicle: (1)
standard 1970 Federal Test Procedure for ex-
haust emissions; (2) closed, constant volume
sampling technique using 9 repeats of the 7-
mode. 1970 Federal emissions test cycle;. (3)
standard 1972 Federal Test Procedure using
the LA4-S3 driving cycle with constant volume
sampling; (4) steady state test procedure, using
the continuous sampling technique. The fol-
lowing conclusions were drawn from the tabu-
lated data: The data from tests utilizing a cyclic
driving pattern differed considerably from that
of a steady state operation. The steady state
operation showed a significant increase while
the exact opposite was found when the cyclic
driving patterns were driven. These data proved
to be inconclusive in that no consistent re-
peatable data was obtained.

The exhaust emission, characteristics of the
'Pollution Master' device on both controlled
and uncontrolled vehicles were evaluated. The
uncontrolled vehicle used was a 1963 Chevrolet
V-8 with a manual transmission. The controlled
vehicle was a 1968 Ford Falcon with a 200 cu.
in. six cylinder engine and manual transmis-
sion. The 'Pollution Master' is a two part system
containing ah 'exhaust scavenger' and a
'crankcase scavenger.' The total effect of this
device is to admit additional air to the manifold
thus providing a leaner fuel-air mixture to the
engine. For evaluation purposes, the Federal
emission test procedures for certification of
new cars for 1971 and the procedure for 1972
certification were used. The vehicle was tested
alternately with.'Pollution Master' installed and
with the vehicle returned to original condition.
The results are presented and data is well tabu-

A symposium on direct measurement of the
reaeration capacity of streams and estuaries
was conducted in July 1970 at the Georgia In-
stitute of Technology. It was designed to make
public all of the available information on the
subject at that time. The papers presented pro-
vide an outline of the fundamentals of gas
transfer in turbulent systems, the theory and
application of radiotracers for measuring gas
transfer in natural waters, and the associated
field and laboratory procedures. Other papers
provide tracer-observed values of the reaera-
tion capacity of several streams, and com-
parisons with computed values obtained from
well-known predictive models. A new theory re-
garding the relationship between the reaeration
capacity and the hydraulic properties of natural
streams is presented, together with early sup-
porting observed results. The effects of pollu-
tants on the reaeration capacity, and some ob-
served results, are discussed. (Author Modified

The document describes a number of different
oil collection devices presently available, giving
the manufacturer's name and other pertinent
information on each method. In addition, some
information covered by various patents on the
subject of skimmers is also included. The
skimming devices described in the report con-
sist primarily of three different types: weir.
drum and belt. The skimmers are classified as
belonging to one of the major categories. The
weir type uses the principle of overflowing a
weir to separate the oil from the surrounding
water, whereas the belt and drum types utilize
the principle of selective adsorption of the oil
from the water. In each category, skimmers
have been listed in alphabetical order. No at-
tempt has been made to determine the relative
effectiveness of any of the skimming methods
or to compare their merits. The equipment is
described in as much detail as practicable from
the information available. Additional data can
be secured from the reference indicated, or by
contacting the manufacturer or inventor
directly.

A field measurement program was carried out
in August and September 1972 to investigate
the source of high ozone concentrations in
Garrett County, Maryland and Preston County,
West Virginia. Approximately 11 percent of the
hourly ozone concentrations measured at the
Garrett County, Maryland airport exceeded the
0.08 ppm National Air Quality Standard. In one
episode, the Standard was exceeded for 26
consecutive hours. The mean hourly ozone
concentration for the study period was 0.057
ppm and the maximum hourly concentration
was Oil 19 ppm. High ozone concentrations per-
sisted through the night;.the nighttime mean
was 0.055 ppm. Nitrogen dioxide and non-
methane hydrocarbon concentrations were at
or near background levels throughout the study
period. It was concluded that local photochemi-
cal synthesis could not account for the ob-
served ozone concentrations in the study area.
Analysis of meteorological data indicated that
the high ozone concentrations were associated
with air masses arriving in the study area after
passing over urban-industrial regions. (Author)

by replacing the stock cylinder head. A hot start
1972 Federal Emission Test Procedure and a
cold start 1975 FTP were performed on the
vehicle. Bag samples were analyzed for
hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, carbon diox-
ide, and nitrogen oxides. Steady state cruise
emissions were collected in CVS bags at 20,30,
40, and SO miles per hour. Results are tabu-
lated. While the system does exhibit very low
carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen levels,
the excessive hydrocarbon levels indicate that a
major modification to the system would be
necessary to approach 1976 Federal emission
standards.

Sta-Power fuel additive is being marketed as an
emission reduction compound when mixed in
the specified proportions with gasoline. It was
desired to determine whether there was an im-
mediate effect on emissions. An immediate ef-
fect would indicate that Sta-Power effects the
chemical properties of the fuel or the reactions
in the combustion process. A 1970 Plymouth
Valiant.with a 225 CID six cylinder engine was
used for the emission testing. Baseline, and ad-
ditive tests were run using the 1968 Federal
Emission Test Procedures. Continuous emis-
sion measuring was used, values being calcu-
lated according to the 1968 Federal Emission
Test Procedure. The test data indicate that Sta-
Power has no immediate chemical or com-
bustion effect which results in an emission
reduction. No evaluation of long term detergent
effect was made.

An evaluation was conducted of the Stargas
fuel additive to verify its influence on reduction
of emissions and to establish the adequacy of
the Federal Emission Test Procedure to mea-
sure the relatively small effects of a fuel modifi-
cation of this sort. The Stargas additive was for-
mulated to be used with unleaded gasolines. It
was mixed in approximate proportions of eight
ounces to fifty gallons of fuel. This modified
fuel was used both for testing and for mileage
accumulation. The vehicles used in the test pro-
gram were a 1971 Ford Galaxie with a 351 CID
engine and automatic transmission, and a 1970
Plymouth Valiant with a 225 CID engine and au-
tomatic transmission. Both vehicles were tested
in the baseline condition on fuel without Star-
gas; then the vehicles were tested with no mile-
age accumulation with Stargas. The testing em-
ployed on both vehicles was the 1972 Federal
Emission Test Procedure. Emission data from
both vehicles became erratic after mileage ac-
cumulation on fuel containing Stargas. The
emissions were generally worse with the addi-
tive than without, which discourages any
further evaluation of Stargas.

The development of testing techniques for the
accurate determination of emissions from
prototype vehicles with diesel engines, was un-
dertaken. The test vehicle was a 1972 Mercedes
Benz 220 Diesel four-door sedan, equipped
with automatic transmission. Testing has been
by the 1975 Federal Emission Test Procedure,
with the inertia set at 3500 Ibs. There have also
been some emissions tests under cruise condi-
tions for sampling investigations. Comparison
of the test emissions data with data from Mer-
cedes diesels from other sources shows good
agreement in CO and N0(x), when it is con-
sidered that different cars were tested in differ-
nent laboratories. Data also indicates that the
present CVS bag procedure is valid and reliable
for determining CO and NO(x) emissions. The
sampling method for hydrocarbons, however,
needs to be refined.

Preliminary evaluations indicated that the Per-

reduction in total oxides of nitrogen emissions
from passenger vehicles. Evaluation of the ef-
fectiveness of the device was initiated. The
vehicles .were tested both in.baseline and
device equipped configurations by the 1972
Federal emission test procedure. The Retronox
system demonstrates significant effectiveness
in reducing oxides of nitrogen. In general these
emissions can be reduced by over 50%. There
also appears to be a smaller yet consistent
reduction in hydrocarbon and carbon monox-
ide possibly resulting from increased fuel-air
mixing hence more homogeneous delivery to
the individual cylinders. It is anticipated that in-
stallation of the system will result in decreased
fuel economy. Little adverse effect on "drivea-
bility was noted or anticipated.

is to supply fuel vapors from the gasoline tank
to the intake manifold. The test vehicle was a

the Berg System were evaluated. Baseline or
stock vehicle testing was conducted before,
during, and after the device testing. All tests
were performed according to the 1972 Federal
Emission Test Procedure. The Berg System is a
simple-air bleed device. Depending on the
quantity of bleed air, the system reduces
hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels.
Maximum reductions of 29% and 64% were ob-
tained during the evaluation. Further investiga-
tion is needed to determine the proportion of
in-use vehicles which would be adversely af-

The exhaust emission characteristics of a 1967
Ford Falcon, extensively modified with the
LaForce system,'was evaluated using the 1975
test procedure to determine if the latest con-
figuration could approach emission levels
required for 1975 and 1976. The LaForce
system consisted of numerous modifications.
The production carburetor had been replaced
by an extensively modified Holley two barrel. To
further reduce, hydrocarbon emissions the ac-
celerator pump cam was modified to reduce the
pump shot to the minimum the engine required.
The carburetor's float bowl had overflow ports
on each side to drain fuel back to the tank on
cornering. The exhaust manifold had been in-
sulated and modifications had been made to
provide for increased spark advance during
start up. Test results are summarized and tabu-
lated. The modifications made to the vehicle
enabled a previously uncontrolled car to meet
emission levels required by the 1972 Federal
exhaust emission standards. The emission
levels were far, above the 1975 and 1976
requirements and the system was too com-
plicated to be considered as a retrofit package
for uncontrolled vehicles.

of the race. The report describes the control
techniques which are incorporated in this elec-

which is tabulated, were relatively high. This
may have been due to failure or poisoning of

An evaluation was conducted of a 1969
Chevrolet Kingswood station wagon which had
been modified by Auto-Mate Research Cor-
poration. This test vehicle Was equipped with a
350 CID, four barrel V-8 and an automatic trans-
mission. Several devices were evaluated. The
first device was an air bleed valve which caused
an enleanment of the mixture during light load
conditions. A fuel valve was installed between
the fuel pump and the carburetor which con-
tinuously .by-passed a portion of fuel pump
discharge to the inlet side of the fuel pump. An
electronic device attached to the fender of the
vehicle was claimed to eliminate oxides of
nitrogen emissions. Two Auto-Mate Research
fuel additives, claimed to eliminate oxides of
nitrogen emissions were evaluated. Both the
1972 and the 1975 Federal Test Procedures
were used. The reductions in CO and HC and
increases in NOx observed during the test of
the air bleed and fuel valve are typical of
devices that cause enleanment of the mixture.
Results also indicate that the fuel valve also had
an enleanment effect on the mixture.

A program was conducted to determine the
emission control potential of Eccono-Needles.
The Eccono-Needles replace the stock idle mix-
ture screws from a vehicle's carburetor. These
devices are hollow allowing air to bleed
through them with the intended effect of lean-
ing air/fuel ratio. The vehicles selected for in-
stallation of Eccono-Needles were: a 1962
Chevrolet Biscayne, 283 CID;. a 1963 Ford
Galaxie. 289 CID; and a 1970 Plymouth Valiant.
225 CID. All testing was performed in ac-
cordance with the Federal Emission Test
Procedure for 1972. Results that hydrocarbon
and carbon monoxide levels can be reduced in
the vehicles tested with careful combustion
analyzer setting of Eccono-Needles. Fuel com-
bustion results were mixed and therefore no
conclusions to the device's effectiveness of Ec-
cono-Needles on fuel economy can be made.

evaluated in two configurations: with and
without flame holders. Testing at two different
idle mixture settings in each configuration was
also accomplished. Emission testing was done
using hot start 1972 FTP and cold start 1975
FTP. Test results indicate that none of the tests
approach 1975 or 1976 required levels. Results
indicate the following shortcomings for the
reactor: reactor warm-up time must be shor-
tened,-.control of CO is minimal;.the use of
flame holders appears to be of little benefit in
this design.

A confirmatory evaluation was conducted on a
retrofit system for which previous test data in-
dicated a significant reduction in hydrocarbon
and carbon monoxide emissions. The Landrum
system employs the replacement of stock idle
mixture screws with hollow bleed-type screws
which allow gasoline to enter mixing with air.
For this test the stock idle screws were removed
from a 1971 Ford, 351 CID engine with auto-
matic transmission. The Landrum screws were
installed with the associated heating element.
Testing of the vehicle both baseline and device
equipped was done in accordance with the
1972 and 1975 Federal Test Procedures. Fuel
consumption has been calculated from exhaust
emissions. The test data indicates that the Lan-
drum system appears to reduce hydrocarbon by
10% and carbon monoxide by 15%. A 7% fuel
consumption penalty is associated with the
system. While these reductions appear small,
this was partially due to careful adjustment of
the baseline vehicle to a lean idle setting.

tested to determine its effects on exhaust emis-
sions. This device made use of- a vacuum
diaphragm and associated circuits to vary the
position of the camshaft in relation to the
crankshaft as a function of engine load and
speed. The vehicle used was a 1970 Plymouth
Fury with a 383 cu. in. engine and automatic

ducted: (1) the 1970 Federal emission test
procedure as used for certification of new
motor vehicles (7-mode): {2) a closed, constant
volume sampling technique using nine repeats
of the Federal emission test cycle (9-CVS); (3) a
closed, constant volume sampling technique
using the LA4-S3 driving schedule as specified
for 1972 and later. The following conclusions
were drawn from the results: The variable cam
timing device shows improvements in oxides of
nitrogen; The use of this device would not meet
1973 emission levels except for oxides of
nitrogen; This system appears to be more effec-
tive than external exhaust gas recirculation for
oxides of nitrogen control.

The design characteristics of the Wilford Smog
Suppressor provided an opportunity to evaluate
the effects of applying back pressure to the ex-
haust system and its relationship to reduced
emissions. The testing was required as part of
an evaluation of retro-fit devices to aid in
reducing emissions in used cars. The device
was mounted on a 1963 Ford Galaxie test bed,
with a 289 cu. in. engine and automatic trans-
mission. The device was tested under the 1970
Federal test procedure as stated in the Federal
Register, Vol. 33, No. 108, Part II. Because of the
increase of unburned hydrocarbons during the
cold cycle and the lack of any meaningful
reduction in both CO and NO, it appears that
the Wilford Smog Suppressor has no beneficial
effect on emissions.

device on a used vehicle. This device operates
on the principle of electromagnetic induction,
its circuits tapping electro-static energy from
the firing spark. This energy is directed to the
non-firing cylinders where it bombards the fuel
molecules with radiation preparing the mixture
for more complete combustion. The vehicle
chosen for the test was a 1963 Chevrolet Impala
equipped with a Retro-fit kit for low emissions.
The following tests were conducted: (1) a
closed, constant volume sampling technique
using 9 repeats of the Federal emission test
cycle (CVS); (2) a closed, constant volume sam-
pling technique using the LA4-S3 driving
schedule. Samples were analyzed for carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and
oxides of nitrogen. The results obtained show
no significant effect of the Paser Magnum on
exhaust emissions or fuel economy.

On the basis of locally obtained test results,
Tsurumi Trading Company, Ltd. of Japan,
requested emission tests on a device they had
developed. Basically the Tsurumi system pro-
vides a method for preheating the air-fuel mix-
ture prior to combustion. A new manifold was
designed which involved enclosing the intake
manifold in the exhaust manifold forming a
heat exchanger arrangement. Additional air is
supplied to the intake manifold through the use
of an air valve installation below the carburetor.
The test vehicle was a Nissan Cedric with a six
cylinder engine and manual transmission. For
these tests the vehicle choke was discon-
nected. Three different fuels were used for
these tests. The test program consisted of a se-
ries of 1975 Federal Test Procedure emission
tests. Conclusions indicate that this modified
engine system does not appear to be a likely
candidate for future application.

The test vehicles were desired to demonstrate
possible 1975-76 emission control systems and
to compare emissions measured by the 1972
and 1975 Federal Emission Test Procedures.
The four vehicles are descirbed as follows: (1)
An Oldsmobile 88 equipped with a 455 CID en-
gine, automatic transmission, exhaust gas
recirculation, an oxidizing catalytic reactor and
an air pump; (2) An Oldsmobile 88 with a 455

valve, and converted to run of LPG fuel; (4) A
Buick Gran Sport with 455 CID engine and au-
tomatic transmission equipped with a modified
intake manifold, exhaust gas recirculation, ox-
idizing catalyst and air pump systems. All test-
ing was performed in accordance with the July
2, 1971. Federal Register. Tabulated results in-
dicate while three of the vehicles tested demon-
strated emission levels approaching those
required for 1975 with one of these achieving

Tests were conducted on a vehicle with an in-
duction system modified by Mr. Robert Edde.
The modifications were made on a 1964 Dodge
Dart equipped with the 1970 CID slant six
.cylinder engine and an automatic transmission.
Extensive changes were made in the induction
system of the vehicle to lower exhaust emis-
sions. The mail) feature of the system was a
special intake manifold which had been
designed to remove liquid fuel from the intake
; charge. Additional modifications were also
made to the carburetor's accelerator pump. A
series'of three tests were run, using the 1975
Federal Test Procedure. The test data indicate
ithat, this control system greatly improves emis-
sions over uncontrolled vehicles with conven-
, tional induction systems, and that, the system
would be too complicated and expansive to be
considered as a retrofit system for unused cars.
It is unlikely that this system, by itself, could be
optimized to obtain 1975-1976 emission levels.

A rapid method was developed to measure benz
(a)anthracene (BaA) and benzo (a)pyrene (BaP)
in auto exhaust tar, gasoline, and crankcase oil.
Nine other polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
were also included in the measurement. These
included: pyrene, chrysene, triphenylene,
methyl BaA, dimethyl BaA. benzo (e)pyrene
(BeP), methyl BaP, methyl BeP, and benzo
(g.h,i)perylene. The method can also be ex-
tended to other PNA hydrocarbons, such as
benzofluoranthenes, dibenzanthracenes,
anthanthracenes, anthanthrene, and coronene.
In addition, methodology to determine the total
PNA content of auto exhaust tar was developed.
A third major accomplishment was the develop-
ment of a quantitative method to determine in-
dividual phenols in the aqueous condensates
produced along with exhaust tar. The methods
used gas chromatography for separation and
UV, radioactive measurement, or mass spec-
troscopy for identification.

This computer program (FORTRAN, IBM 1130)
is a steady-state model of the conventional ac-
tivated sludge process which is flexible enough
to simulate the performance of any of the
models proposed (complete mix, plug flow,
multiple aeration tanks, step aeration, step
return flow, contact stabilization, extended
aeration, etc.). Two classes of microorganisms
are considered: heterotrophs and
nitrosomonas. The mathematical model allows
the maximum rate constant for synthesis to vary
with process loading. Another computer pro-
gram is also included which simulates a fill and
draw bench experiment in which activated
sludge is mixed with substrate in any propor-
tion. The program uses Runge-Kutta method of
numerical integration to compute the biological
activity as a function of time in the batch ac-
tivated sludge experiment.

A new methodology is introduced and empiri-
cally tested for estimating the economic
benefits accruing to society from an improved
recreational facility. The specific facility under
consideration is Upper Klamath Lake. Oregon,
which presently has low water quality. The
methodology draws upon previous work done
in the evaluation of recreational demand; how-
ever, it focuses upon the individual recrea-
tionist and separates the traditional price varia-
ble into on-site costs and travel costs. The
model is used to estimate the number of days
per visit the recreationist will stay at the site as
the water quality improves. Data collected at
three other lakes with varied characteristics are
used to derive a relationship between the
number of visits to a site and the characteristics
of the site. The impact of expanded recreational
use of Klamath Lake upon the local economy is
also estimated through the use of an input-out-
put model of the Klamath County economy.

Squareback with electronic fuel injection was
used. This vehicle is equipped with a 98 cu. in.
opposed 4 cylinder engine and automatic trans-
mission. The stock fuel injection system was
modified to prevent cutoff of fuel during
deceleration and the catalyst unit was installed
in place of the standard muffler. The following
conclusions were drawn from the test results:
(1) the vehicle supplied by Universal Oil
Products for evaluation showed quite low ex-
haust emissions: (2) there appears to be an ad-
verse effect on the early results caused by the
conditioning of the vehicle prior to testing;.(3)
the vehicle failed to meet the 1975 exhaust
emission standards; (4) the driveability of the
vehicle as converted was acceptable.

vehicle was a 1970 Chevrolet Impala equipped
with a 350 cu. in.' V-8 engine, automatic trans-
mission, and air conditioning. It had veen
driven 15,000 miles and had two experimental
carburetors and exhaust gas recirculation. The
second vehicle was a 1970 Valiant equipped
with a 225 cu. in. six cylinder, automatic trans-
mission, an experimental carburetor, and ex-
haust gas recirculation. It had been driven
22,000 miles. Test results for the Valiant in-
dicate that this vehicle failed to meet any of the
emission standards set for this year vehicle.
Driveability was marginal during the tests. The
Chevrolet failed to meet the standards with
either carburetor system. Unburned hydrocar-
bons were considerably reduced when the
standard carburetor was installed.

The water storage of logs is widely practiced in

been made to determine the effect of this prac-
tice on water quality. Soluble organic matter
and some inorganics leach from logs floating in
water and from logs held in sprinkled land
decks. The character and quantity of leachate
from Douglas fir, ponderosa pine and hemlock
logs have been examined. Measurements in-
cluding BOD, COD, PBI, solids and toxicity have
shown that in most situations the contribution
of soluble leachates to holding water is not a
significant water pollution problem. The most
significant problem associated with water
storage appears to be the loss of bark from logs
during dumping, raft transport and raft storage.

Laboratory studies were conducted with ac-
tivated carbon as a catalyst for oxidation of fer-
rous iron in coal mine water. Batch tests and
continuous flow tests were: conducted to
delineate process variables influencing the
catalytic oxidation and to determine the
number and types of coal mine water to which
this process may be successfully applied. Trie
following variables influence the removal of
iron with activated carbon: (1) amount and par-
ticle size of the carbon; (b) pH. flow rate, con-
centration of iron, temperature, and total Ionic
strength of the water; and (c) aeration rate. Ad-
sorption as well as oxidation are the
mechanisms involved in iron removal by this
process. An evaluation of this process indicated
technical feasibility which would permit acid
mine drainage neutralization using an inexpen-
sive reagent, such as limestone. (Author

Recent awareness of environmental degrada-
tion coupled with ever increasing sizes of in-
dividual feedlots .and related, decreases in
available land area for wastes disposal have
placed emphasis on the environmental hazards
associated with livestock feeding. Environmen-
tal pollution can be significantly reduced in the
initial planning stages by adequate facility
planning, management, and, most importantly,
by proper site selection. Climatic, topographic,
and local weather extremes of the general area,
selected with, regard to economic and market
factors, should be considered when planning
the type of feeding facility. The report discusses
those basic considerations of site selection
which are compatible with pollution control
designs and which lessen the impact of other
environmental hazards.

ygen. Th6 filter also operated as a highly effec-
tive, polishing device reducing BOD. and
suspended solids by as much as 80 to 90 per-
cent to levels of less than 10 rng/l. Two methods
of oxygen introduction were'evaluated. One
system involved preoxygenation with pure ox-
ygen at one atm of pressure, and required recy-
cle of treated effluent because of limited ox-
ygen solubility. The other system, which em-
ployed direct bubbling of oxygen into the filter,
was estimated to be less costly because of a
lower oxygen equipment requirement. (Author

A summary is presented of the research results
of a three year study of the economic effects of
changes in air quality in the Willamette Valley.
The study specified a conceptual model within
which the benefits of controlling air pollution
can be evaluated, as well as generated new
testable hypotheses concerning the effects of
air pollution on consumer activity. Implementa-
tion of the benefit-cost methodology consistent
with the conceptual model and its associated
hypotheses focused on the estimation of the
various benefits and costs of controlling smoke
produced by open burning of grass seed fields
in the Willamette Valley. Eight appendices are
attached which present theoretical and empiri-
cal materials, new, generally unappreciated
theoretical results and empirical investigations
which tested important hypotheses. (Author

haust gas recirculation device with the addition
of an air-bleed system. Exhaust was picked up
from the exhaust manifold and piped through a
control valve to the PCV line for introduction
into the intake manifold. In addition, filtered air
from the air cleaner housing was allowed to mix
with the EGR flow into the PCV line. Baseline
and device tests were performed according to
the 1972 Federal emission test procedure,
using a 1970 Plymouth Valiant equipped with
an automatic transmission and 225 CID six-
cylinder engine.

vacuum actuated valve which allows air to
bleed into the engine's PCV system and sub-
sequently to the intake manifold. The device is
installed in the PCV line between the crankcase
and the carburetor. Installation of the system
requires cutting the PCV line and inserting the
Air-Jet unit. Baseline and device tests were
conducted using a 1970 Valiant equipped with
automatic transmission and 225 CID six-
cylinder engine. A total of four baseline and
four device tests were conducted using the
1975 Federal cold start emission tests. The in-
stallation of Air-Jet resulted in moderate reduc-
tions of carbon monoxide emissions from the
vehicle tested. It did not appear to have any ef-
fect on either hydrocarbon or nitrogen oxides
emissions beyond changes attributable to nor-
mal test variability.

'A 50,000 gpd Desal ion exchange pilot plant for
the demineralization of lime treated, dual media
filtered, tertiary sewage effluent has been built
and tested at Santee, California. The plant
removed up to 86 percent of the total dissolved
solids (JDS) as CaCO3. Influent TDS ranged
from 700 to 1000 mg/l during the two month
operating period. An ion resin (45 cu ft of IRA-
68) capacities of 11.4 and 9.7 Kgr (as
CaCO3)/cu ft were obtained with a tertiary ef-
fluent flow of 1 gal./cu ft/min and an operating
pressure of 40 psig. The system was designed
to demineralize a portion of the influent stream
and blend it with influent water to make a
product TDS equal to or better than the
Colorado River drinking water supplied to San-
tee. Because of the short operating time,
emphasis was placed on the demineralization
process, especially the anion IRA-68 resin per-
formance. The estimated total cost, based on
Santee. for 64,370 gpd of 500 mg/l (as CaCO3)
blended effluent is $1.00 per 1000 gallon's. This
estimate calls for activated carbon adsorption
influent, two complete operating cycles per
day. and a properly functioning blending
system.

To facilitate controlled, reproducible testing for
nitric-oxide (NO), generation, a mechanical
analog for the spark-ignition was designed, in-
strumented and tested. The analog provides for
constant-volume combustion followed by
product-gas expansion through a cam-driven
poppet valve, giving pressure-time histories like
those of spark-ignition engines. Measurements
of NO concentrations in the product gas were
made several seconds after combustion both
with and without product-gas expansion. Ul-
traviolet absorption was used to monitor these
NO concentrations. Efforts to measure NO con-
centrations during constant-volume com-
bustion were impeded, by unanticipated strong
background absorption by CO2. (Modified

a 141 CID four cylinder with 3 inch bore and 3
7/8 inch stroke, developed by the Ford Motor
Company. In order to provide low emissions
from this engine, several modifications were
made in the control systems. A very close con-
trol over fuel air ration was required, therefore,
an air throttle system was developed to provide
a 17:1 air-fuel ratio. Exhaust gas recirculation
was added to reduce the amount of oxjdes of
nitrogen. This engine was provided with a ther-
mal reactor. The air-fuej ratio control was an
experimental unit and did not contain an am-

Extensive improvements have characterized
the evaluation of the GRC Photochemi-
cal/Diffusion model. Despite the limitations of
smog chamber experimental data, they have
served an essential purpose toward updating
the kinetics portion of the model. Consistency
of rates and reactivities is now achievable using
recently measured coefficients for a wide
variety of systems. Model methodology revi-
sions have enhanced the realism of the advec-
tive and diffusive descriptions. Previous as-
sumptions regarding transverse (cross-stream-
line) horizontal diffusion have been confirmed
by an exhaustive series of parametric tests.
Photochemical/diffusion validations were suc-
cessful for trajectories occurring during four
days of the 1969 smog season in Los Angeles.
The measure of success is seen in concentra-
tion-history fidelity with a minimum of adjust-
ments of diffusion parameters. (Chemical coef-
ficients were scaled from the smog chamber
studies and held fixed for the simulations car-
ried out to date). Future directions for air pollu-
tion model development are discussed in detail
in an appendix as information supporting the
experimental recommendations. (Author)

The report describes a study which was per-
formed in order'to examine the development
and collapse of mixing layers with particular
emphasis upon the latter using aircraft motion
due to air turbulence as the primary measured
quantity. Variations in this process which might
be attributed to cloud cover, urbanization, wind
patterns and other meteorological parameters
were sought. Toward this end;data were col-
lected in several meteorological patterns and in
one urban (Atlanta) and one rural (Gainesville.
Florida) setting. Data were gathered by making
vertical soundings with an instrumented air-
craft and recording signals that would furnish
measures of the mixing height and a function of
turbulent energy levels therein. Thus altitude,
temperature and lateral acceleration of the air-
craft ' were sensed and recorded simultane-
ously. The RMS value of the aircraft lateral ac-
celeration was also monitored and recorded,
thereby serving as an atmospheric turbulence
indicator. The results and conclusions are
presented.(Author) '••...<••-.. •-, .••- *

The report is designed to acquaint one with a
broad overview 'of the urban air pollution
problem. The problems of the City of St. Louis
were discussed in some detail to serve as a typi-
cal example of,this urban air pollution crisis. It
was stressed that the urban poor are often sub-
jected to higher pollutant concentrations as a
result of living in the .central city area. The
health effects of the common pollutants (SOx,
NOx, Ox. COx. HC and particulates) were briefly
discussed as were the effects of some of these
pollutants on buildings, homes, and automo-
biles. The costs of air pollution.in terms of
damage to health and property was compared.
to the cost of making,the necessary emission
reductions through burning cleaner fuel, in-
stalling emission contrpl equipment on sta-
tionary and mobile sources, and improved
transportation. Federal activities in urban areas
were discussed including the importance of ef-
fective transportation and land use planning. A
variety of measures available for transportation
and land use control were mentioned.

the odorous species in diesel exhaust and
develop the quantitative" relationships between
these measurements and the exhaust odor.
Through the integrated application of analytical
chemistry and sensory methods, the major
odorous species have been identified. Diesel
exhaust odor can be described as having two
major odor groups — oily-kerosene and smoky
burnt. The oily-kerosene odors are due prin-
cipally to the alkyl-substituted indans, tetralins
and alkyl benzenes in the aromatic portion of
the unburned hydrocarbons. The smoky-burnt
character is due primarily to the partial oxida-
tion products of these same aromatic species,
plus a smaller contribution from paraffin oxida-
tion products - specifically;. alkyl, hydroxy,
and/or methoxy-substituted indanones.

bubbled through water, and the constituents
measured were: CO, CO2, NO, hydrocarbons,
NOx, O2, and total aliphatic aldehydes and for-
maldehyde. The engines tested were a Chrysler
35 hp twin, a Mercury 65 hp in-line four, and
OMC twins of 4 hp and 9.5 hp. The engines were
operated on stationary test stands with power
absorption by electric (eddy current)
dynamometers driven from the propeller shafts.
Pertinent operating data were recorded along
with emissions, and mass emissions computed
from data gathered during this project are used
in conjunction with available sales and usage
data to estimate national emissions impact.

Following an overview of mathematical

smog modeling. Finite difference formulations
are employed to compute concentration histo-
ries. The chemical kinetics are expressed as
lumped parameter reaction mechanisms
derived from laboratory data in the literature.
Turbulent diffusion coefficients, which depend
on height and time, come from atmospheric
measurements. Inputs consist of source inven-
tories for the Los Angeles basin and solar ir-
radiation curves for the appropriate days. Pre-
dicted time histories of reactive hydrocarbons,
oxides of nitrogen, and ozone are consistent
with the variations observed at air monitoring
stations. With refined descriptions of advection,
the mathematical model will serve as a tool in
planning legislation and guiding urban
planning in the future. (Author)

A project was initiated with principal objective
being to increase the optical efficiency of the
Melpar flame photometric detector for the de-
tection of 502. Two routes were explored. First,
the spatial distribution of sulfur and
background emissions were plotted to
establish regions of greatest
signal/background. Second, multi-slits were
constructed to match .the structured sulfur
emission and allow background subtract. The
spatial studies of sulfur and background emis-
sion demonstrated that the optimum
signal/background is obtained below the
geometric center of the standard burner. The
distribution suggested use of a monochromator
with horizontal entrance slit rather than a filter.
A study of the line emission of sulfur demon-
strated that multiple slits could be constructed
which would both increase specificity for sulfur
and increase the usable signal. Using multi-slits
in the non-differential mode the final sensitivity
was about an order of magnitude greater than
the comparison standard instrument.

economic effectiveness model is designed to
evaluate two general vehicle inspection and
maintenance strategies: (1) direct inspection of
engine and control device adjustments and
their maintenance using conventional or more
sophisticated garage equipment and (2) mea-
surement of exhaust emissions at various en-
gine loads to diagnose engine maladjustments
followed by their subsequent maintenance. The
model provides considerable latitude to in-

The main focus of this study was to assess the
feasibility of reducing exhaust emissions
through a program of mandatory inspection
and maintenance. The study was conducted
using the Economic Effectiveness Computer
model program which is capable of predicting
the emissions changes and costs associated
with a'wide range of inspection and main-
tenance procures. To support the model, data
have been obtained experimentally which
define the general maintenance state of large
vehicle populations, the sensitivity of exhaust
emissions to engine malfunctions, and the rate
with which engine parameter deteriorate. The
primary purpose of this report is to provide
general guidance for those states contemplat-
ing inspection/maintenance programs as part
of their implementing strategy for meeting the
new federal air quality standards.

The primary purpose of the Economic Effec-
tiveness Model is to serve as a research and
design tool for assessing the various implica-
tions of a mandatory program of vehicle inspec-
tion/maintenance. The model is designed to
both analyze the regional feasibility of vehicle
inspection/maintenance as well as to specify an
optimal system design. Input data for several
regional areas covering the gamut of auto re-
lated air quality problems are incorporated into
the model. The model can aJso be used to
analyze the sensitivity of system performance to
various model assumptions and basic data in-
puts. The' model is best used for evaluating the
attractiveness of alternative policies, e.g., en-
gine inspection or emission inspection, which
govern and control the operation of an inspec-
tion/maintenance system. The main function of
the model is in simulating the behavior of the
inspection/maintenance process overtime.

The Economic Effectiveness Model is a tool by
which any state, air basin, or region can deter-
mine the most effective vehicle maintenance
and inspection program to reduce vehicle ex-
haust emission contributions to air pollution.
Three distinct experimental programs were
conducted to characterize vehicle emissions
and maintenance states: (1) A large scale fleet
evaluation to determine vehicle engine parame-
ter setting distributions and component deteri-
oration characteristics with time and mileage;
(2) Statistically designed test (orthogonal ex-
periments) of 1971 California and pre-emission
controlled vehicles to determine the main ef-
fects and first order interactions of emission
response to engine parameters; and (3) A sur-
vey to determine the maintenance condition
(state of tune-up) of vehicle engine tune-tip
parameters and emission control systems and
components of vehicles in the Detroit area. The
designs and results of each of these experi-
ments are discussed.

The overall objective of this experiment was to
develop measures of service organization ef-
fectiveness in correcting engine part failures,
malfunctions and tune-up parameter malad-
justments which cause high exhaust emissions.
Subsidiary objectives were to assess the capa-
bility of service organizations to (1) detect
specific malfunctions, (2) return malfunctions,
maladjustments and failures.to manufacturer's
specifications and (3) respond to the type of in-
formation which might be provided by manda-
tory vehicle inspection and the resulting impact
on cost and performance effectiveness.
Statistics were developed on (1) cost to accom-
plish maintenance, (2) maintenance cost and
performance effectiveness of garages or-
ganizations in different communities, (3) in-
fluence' of service organization type
(independent, dealership and service station)
on cost and performance effectiveness and (4)

Two distinctly different types of instrumenta-
tion are widely used to measure automotive ex-
haust emissions of the oxides of nitrogen (NO
and NO2). Until quite recently, virtually all such
measurements were made using non-disper-
sive infrared (NDIR) analyzers for NO and non-
dispersive ultraviolet (NDUV) analyzers for NO2.
The use of Chemiluminescence (CL) analyzers
has recently gained wide acceptance for the
measurement of both NO and NO2. This report
describes an experimental study which was un-
dertaken to describe differences between CL
and NDIR/NDUV measurements, as applied to
dilute samples of automotive exhaust gas.

Vehicles in Six Cities - 1957-1971 Model Year
Survey. Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide
emmissions for the vehicles tested were as-
sessed by comparing their mean emission
levels with applicable Federal standards. In an
effort to assess the extent to which local cli-
mate, terrain, driving practices and other geo-
graphically differentiated factors affect emis-
sions, vehicles were sampled in cities selected
to span the range of such factors.

the Ford stratified charge combustion system.
Ford's basic stratified charge system uses an
unthrottled air intake with fuel injected directly
into the cylinder. Descriptions are given of the
modifications made to the control systems to
provide low emissions. The emission per-

It has been demonstrated that large airports
have a direct impact on environmental quality
as a result of aircraft operation, and an indirect
impact by providing a focal point for urban
development and industrialization. This report
addresses the air pollution impact of an airport
and its environs. A methodology is presented
for integrating the air pollution impact of an air-
port and its associated ground-support activi-
ties with that of the induced urban development
in its vicinity, to provide a quantitative basis for
decisions related to airport site selection and
for the development of land surrounding the
site. Procedures for estimating airport-related
air pollutant emissions are defined. The flexible
impact methodology is achieved through a
general protocol for identifying isolating and
quantifying an array of airport related and
urban activities which provide environmental
insults. The procedures are general and ap-
plicable to either existing or proposed airport
facilities.

Simulation of Chloride Concentrations In the
Potomac Estuary,
Leo J. Hetling.Mar68,52p CB-SRBP-Technical
Paper-12
Use of the upper Potomac Estuary as a water
supply source has been proposed as an alterna-
tive to upstream reservoirs. This proposal has
been discarded previously because waste water
treatment technology was lacking and because
of uncertainty concerning the possibility of
salinity (chloride) intrusion from the Ches-
apeake Bay if large withdrawals of fresh water
from the upper Estuary were made. Advances in
the technology of waste water treatment are
rapidly eliminating the first objection, except
for the buildup of chlorides and total dissolved
solids. The purpose of this paper is to present
the results of a simulation model of chloride
concentrations in the upper .Estuary. It is hoped
that these simulation results will prove useful to
water resource planners in this critical area.

Beryllium in almost all forms is known to have
adverse effects upon human health. Approxi-
mately 300 domestic facilities either extract
beryllium or manufacture beryllium-containing
products. Beryllium extraction processes
generate atmospheric emissions that include
beryllium salts, acids, beryllium oxide, and
other beryllium compounds in the form of dust,
fume, or mist. Facilities engaged in processing
beryllium-containing materials into finished
products generate a more restricted range of
emissions, including beryllium dust, beryllium
oxide dust, and beryllium-containing dust and
fume. Beryllium emissions can be controlled by
the following classes of gas-cleaning equip-
ment: prefilters, dry mechanical collectors, wet
collectors, fabric filters, and high-efficiency
particulate filters. The choice of specific control
equipment is discussed in terms of process
variables, effluent properties, and economics.

The need for protein feed and the need to
dispose of waste cellulose are problems being
studied to develop a feasible method for the
direct conversion of cellulosic wastes to
microbial protein—a single cell protein to be
used as an animal feed supplement. This report
presents data on the process and summarizes
research in large-scale production. The
economics and techniques of the conversion
process are compared with work done by
petroleum companies on the fermentation of
hydrocarbons. Controlling variables used in the
process are defined and significant goals
necessary to achieve success in the field are
described. The research deals mainly with the
alkali treatment and fermentation parts of the
process. Different micro-organisms from which
single cell protein can be produced are given.
Research in the areas of cell flocculation, flota-
tion, or hyperfiltration are recommended to im-
prove the most costly single step of the
process-drying the cells. Methods of decreas-
ing the degree of crystallinity are also included.
The practicality of complete acid hydrolysis of
cellulose to a soluble substrate for conversion
to yeast protein and partial acid hydrolysis of
the cellulose followed by microbial consump-
tion is discussed. An economic analysis is given
of the potential markets and the competitive
cost with other proteins. (Modified author ab-

the most promise. Aluminum extraction tests
using sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and

The report defines the relationship between
scale formation and scrubber chemistry, based
on thermodynamic analyses and bench-scale
scrubber experiments, and includes a review of
scaling problems in limestone wet scrubbing
systems. It is assumed that mechanical scale
deposition (due to wet/dry interfaces, stagnant
areas, or poor gas/liquid distribution) can be
controlled by good engineering design. Ap-
proaches to controlling chemical scale deposi-
tion are: pH control, highL/G, seeding, high re-
sidence time in a holding tank, temperature
control, and oxidation control. It is shown that
S02 removal efficiency is a linear function of
pH for 0 5% CaSOS slurries, 0.5% CaCO3 and
0.6% limestone slurries, and 1% CaCOS slur-
ries. The CaCOS scrubbing system is non-scal-
ing, but removal efficiencies are limited by the
S03/HSO3 equilibrium to about 50%. In CaCO3
scrubbers, S03 scaling can be minimized. A
100-125F temperature increase seems to in-
crease the rate of scale deposition and. in the
presence of O2, can lead to catastrophic scal-
ing via a cementing reaction initiated by the
precipitation of anhydrite. (Modified author ab-

results indicated that fly pupae have potential
as a protein supplement in chick starter and

The sugar, in turn, is fermented to produce
ethanol. The processes reported on are: (1) the

Flow smoothing in sanitary sewers was studied
to determine under what conditions the result-

obtained. Conservative assumptions were
made in this preliminary design and economics
study to provide a severe test for the cost effec-
tiveness of the concept. In many situations, flow
smoothing is an attractive alternative when
compared to relief pipe installation. Circum-
stances which favor flow smoothing are high
interest rates, high peak-to-average flow ratios,
low pipe slopes, small diameters, and low
design depths of flow. Flow smoothing is
strongly favored where earthen construction
can be used. (Author)

their potential use, in conjunction with a cheap

control of the setting time and proper distribu-

mine seal could be placed through a borehole
from the surface without the benefit of retaining
bulkheads. A slurry mix consisting of an acryla-

was found to produce a strong controllable gel
which resisted chemical attack in the laboratory
over an eleven week exposure period. An at-

entry with high flow was not successful.

The effects of possible modifcations to the Van-
couver Lake-Columbia River system on the
hydraulic characteristics of that system were
tested in a physical hydraulic model. A mathe-
matical model was developed for predictive
analysis and to expand the results of the
hydraulic model study. Alternate methods for
improving flushing action through Vancouver
Lake by use of a conduit were investigated. The
tests were conducted to determine the hydrau-
lic characteristics and the flushing efficiency of
pollutants by using a fluorescent dye to simu-
late the soluble conservative pollutants in the
prototype. In addition, the hydraulic model
study provides information on the dispersion,
mixing, dilution rates and detention times
which are important factors influencing water
quality. (Modified author abstract)

A study was undertaken to search for new ap-

ice control. Proven techniques of technology
transfer were applied for the purpose of identi-
fying technologies that have not yet been used
fordeicing purposes. Contracts with specialists
and a 'brainstorming session' were used to
determine strategies for search of compu-
terized data banks. Although several ap-
proaches were identified, none are immediately
useable. Results indicate that: (1) More infor-
mation is needed on salt damage to the en-
vironment, highway structures, and vehicles in
order to perform accurate cost-benefit analyses
of alternative approaches. (2) More complete
knowledge is needed on the effects of alternate
chemical deicers. (3) Pavement heating is an
expensive means of removing snow and ice but
can be justified in special cases for safety or en-
vironmental reasons. (4) Two mechanical
devices, snow plow with compressed air and a
brush and blower system require further testing
and development. (5) Research is required to
identify a hydrophobia substance which can be
applied to pavement to reduce ice adhesion. A
brief cost estimate of the various approaches
has been included.

port presents three specific conceptual plans. A
description is presented of a data management
system using the Los Angeles Reactive Pollu-
tant Program (LARPP) as a prototype. It is con-
cluded that future field programs must be
structured to meet specific goals. The specific
goals discussed here include verifying emis-

photochemical transformations in a moving air
mass, searching for turbulent reaction in-
homogeneities in the atmosphere, and charac-
terizing the interaction of gas phase species

A photochemical/diffusion simulation model is
employed to evaluate four control strategies for
reducing air pollution in Los Angeles. Three
previously tested, representative air trajectories
serve as baseline cases using 1969 emission
levels. Transportation controls are emulated by
reducing source emissions in accordance with
hypothetical plans worked out with the Division
of Meteorology of the Environmental Protection
Agency. Straight reductions of vehicle miles
traveled do not give ozone reduction percent-
ages that are as large as the emission reduction
percentages. Strong influence of initial pollu-
tant load of the air in the morning is noted. Day-
to-day pollution carryover must be carefully ad-
justed through the initial conditions to account
for continous strategies in contrast with inter-
mittent strategies. Ratios of nitrogen oxides to
reactive hydrocarbon affect the ozone buildup
markedly. It is found that control of the mixture
ratio can be more important than straight
reduction in emissions. (Author)

tive was to determine the effectiveness of these
biological treatments processes on cannery
wastewater and to compare the two units under
the same operating conditions. Nitrogen and
phosphorus were added to the influent waste-
water so the BOD:N:P ratio was kept above
100:5:1. Effluent quality from both units was
about the same over the operating temperature
range of 10-20C, although the RBC appeared to
recover more rapidly from organic shock load-
ing. Neither unit produced an effluent that
could be discharged to surface waters without
further treatment. (Modified author abstract)

Ferry. The sanitation system tested is a physi-
cal-chemical system capable of providing a
high degree of secondary treatment using ac-
tivated carbon. The system was designed as a
'flow-through system', that is, one which
discharges a treated effluent overboard. After
promulgation in June 1972 of the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency's 'No Discharge' stan-
dards, the program was revised to include the
evaluatiion of the system in a recycle mode,
using the treated effluent for sanitary flush
water. Testing in the recycle mode was then
conducted to determine the effects of such
recycling on the treated wastewater, i.e., buil-
dup and effect on treatment of constituents in
the wastewater.

related to carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus
removals. During steady-state testing, chemical
oxygen demand, net growth rate, aeration tank
detention time, and final settling tank detention
time were found to be the key operational con-
trol parameters. Changes in COD removal and
suspended solids removal were proportional to
a change in control parameter. Nitrogen
removal was related to specific operational
parameters and system nitrogen balances were
computed. Phosphorus removal without exter-
nal chemical addition was related to specific
operational parameters. (Author)

A method for performing in situ nutrient en-

phytoplankton communities was developed
and evaluated. One set of experiments in which
it was employed was designed to detect limiting
nutrients and to provide a basis for predicting
future experiment results. Individual species
responded differently to different treatments,
and interactions among the treatment variables
were important in shaping the community
responses to mixtures of two or three variables.
The most consistent features of the productivity
results were incorporated into a 'most probable
response pattern,' which was partially validated
by a second series of experiments. The second
experiment series was also used to test the
ability of NTA to stimulate phytoplankton
productivity. In a third series of experiments
sewage effluents were tested in parallel with N
and P. Recommendations for the use of in situ

Data.
The Piceance Creek study was undertaken to
obtain information about physical, chemical,
and biological parameters of a small stream in
northwestern Colorado. Oil shale, abundant in
this area, will likely be mined and processed in
the future. Pollution from this exploitation
could alter aquatic habitats in the Piceance
basin, in the White River, and in the Colorado
River. Sampling a small stream in the rich oil
shale country of northwestern Colorado con-
firmed distinct seasonal trends and habitat
preference in invertebrate populations.
Discharge was a major influence on inver-
tebrates and chemical composition of the
stream. Seasonal variations, biomass, and spe-
cies composition of invertebrates appear
characteristic of oil shale area streams.

The objective was to investigate the toxicity to
rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) of soluble
anionic species and neutral precipitates of alu-
minum hydroxide complexes under known
conditions of pH and concentration. The stu-
dies were divided into effects of aluminum on
fingerling rainbows and effects of aluminum on
fertilization and early life history. Fertilized
eggs, fry, and fingerlings were exposed to
aqueous aluminum complexes in neutral and
basic media under constantly flowing, con-
trolled conditions of aluminum concentration,
pH, and temperature. Toxicities of various con-
centrations were highly pH dependent. Dis-
solved concentrations over 1.5 ppm aluminum
caused physiological and behavioral aberra-
tions as well as acute mortality. Toxic effects of
suspended aluminum, though greater at lower
concentrations, do not increase as much as the
effects of dissolved aluminum with higher con-
centrations. (Modified author abstract)

Four chronic bioassays were conducted to
determine the toxicity of lead to rainbow trout.
Results obtained from acute and chronic bioas-
says in hard water and soft water were used to
test the application factor approach as related
to different water qualities. The toxicity of lead
to rainbow trout in hard water was determined
on a total and dissolved lead basis. Total and
free lead were considered to be the same in
soft-water. The maximum acceptable toxicant
concentration ('MATC') was determined in both
hard and soft water bioassays on the occur-
rence of abnormal black tails caused by ch ronic
lead exposure. The application factor approach
as related to different water qualities was found
to be very promising when lead analysis was
limited to the free or dissolved metal and failed
when total hard water lead concentrations were
used. (Modified author abstract)

Detailed sampling, gaging and laboratory

the Aroostook-Prestile Basin's potato
processing industry. Studies indicated that sig-
nificant reductions in load could be accom-
plished by in-plant conservation. Biological
treatment of the, residual wastes, however, was
found necessary. Preliminary designs were
prepared for numerous treatment and loading
operations, including joint industry-municipal
plants and regionally inter-connected systems.
A transport-treatment channel system covering
some eleven miles was shown to be technically
feasible. Cost analyses of all viable options and
alternatives were prepared, including capital
and operating costs. Annual revenue require-
ments for each system were projected, includ-
ing evaluation of current State and Federal
grant-in-aid programs. Joint municipal-indus-

A final report is presented of work undertaken
to assess the potential for the use of flue gas
desulfurization (SOx control) systems by steam
electric plants. The primary objectives of the
study were (1) to attempt to quantify the availa-
bility of stack gas cleaning systems to steam
electric utilities in 1975,1977, and beyond, and
(2) to identify possible actions that might serve
to maximize the use of these systems. Many
factors must be considered in estimating the
use of stack gas cleaning systems by the utility
industry. These include technology, cost, ad-
verse environmental effects, institutional bar-
riers, and the ability of the suppliers to produce
and install all of the systems demanded. Uncer-
tainties in the assessment of these factors have
been the major barrier to widespread applica-
tion of stack gas cleaning systems. The study
examined each of the factors sufficiently to
support the conclusions and recommendations
presented.

Fish hatchery activities have been suspected as
a source of pollution. Therefore the study was
undertaken to evaluate hatchery discharges in
relationship to possible pollution. A program of
semi-monthly physical-chemical analysis was
conducted for a year at six trout hatcheries.
These determinations were taken at the
hatchery inflow and outfall, the receiving water
above and below the hatchery outfall. Bottom
fauna was sampled once a month during the
summer and bi-monthly through the winter on
selected stations in the receiving waters. Flow
data was recorded for the influent, effluent, and
receiving waters. The analysis of samples
revealed degradation of the water quality
through every hatchery and in the receiving
water. This degradation was beneficial from a
fisheries standpoint but water quality and
public health considerations may require
cleanup before acceptable levels could be
acheived.

Bench-scale and laboratory tests were con-
ducted for chemical removal of sulfur (S) from
coal to produce a low sulfur coal to meet air
quality standards. The method used was the
Meyer's process in which pyritic sulfur is ox-
idized by ferric compounds to a water soluble
form. Approximately 100% of pyritic S was
removed, using. aqueous ferric salt solutions
which, for the four coals tested, corresponded
to an absolute removal of 1-3.5% by coal weight
of S. The heat content of the coal increased and
the ash content decreased as a result of pyrite
removal. The pyritic S was removed from the
coal as elemental S (40 mole %) and iron sulfate
(60 mole %). Process operating temperatures of
50-130C, pressures of 1-10 atm, residence
times of 1-16 hrs, and coal top sizes from 1/4-

Analytical studies and harbor tests were con-
ducted to determine the feasibility of harvesting
oil beneath the surface of the water with the use
of inclined planes. The analytical and laborato-
ry investigations provided basic information to
design and build units and showed that this
kind of device could harvest both light and
heavy oils between 3/4 knot and 2 knots. Infor-
mation was obtained regarding the geometry of
the device. Tests showed that oil could be col-
lected in waves without seriously affecting effi-
ciency. A 22-foot-long unit was designed, built,
and domonstrated in Boston Harbor. The
results showed that the fixed-plane concept is
highly effective in areas where the vessel can
travel through the slick. Recovered oil is vir-
tually water free and the unit recovered
between 70% and 85% of the oil presented to it.

A system has been developed for the restora-
tion of oil-contaminated beach sands. The
method involves washing the sand in a high
energy jet contactor washer and separation of
the cleaned sand from the washing fluid in a
conventional solid liquid cyclone. Separation
and concentration of the oil-water effluent from
the washing process is also accomplished in
cyclones. The two separate stages of this
process have been demonstrated on a pilot
scale equivalent to about 3 tons of wet, oil con-
taminated sand per hour. The sand washing
process has been shown capable of removing
over 99% of the contaminating oil from a simu-
lated beach sand. Oils used were No.4 and No.6
fuel oil at 4 to 8% of the dry weight of the sand.
A conceptual design for a mobile beach clean-
ing system based on the processes studied is
presented and is shown to be feasible within
the state-of-the-art. (Modified author abstract)

The history, basic principles, process applica-

concerning solvent (liquid-liquid) extraction
was investigated in relation to its application to

as a feasible waste treatment method. Various

ment One of the areas of greatest need for

taining low concentrations (0.05%) may be
feasible on a 'swap out' basis or in conjunction
with biological, adsorption, or incineration

of solvent extraction to waste systems for
recovery of salable products to offset cost of
treatment should be studied for feasibility. Ac-

The report is one of a series which presents the
findings of intensive interagency investigations
of practical means to control the nitrate con-
centration in subsurface agricultural waste
water prior to its discharge into other water on
such areas as the San Joaquin Valley. As a
result of the application of large quantities of
water to relatively slowly permeable stratified
soils, the west side of the San Joaquin Valley
now has large areas with groundwater at root-
zone depths. Wherever subsurface drains have
been installed to control this groundwater, the
drainage effluent has had high nitrate concen-
trations. Large quantities of inorganic nitrogen
fertilizers are applied annually and the assump-
tion prevails that fertilizer is the major source of
nitrates in the drainage water. The study was
designed to evaluate this assumption and to
derive, ifpossible, practical answers regarding
the role of on-farm practices in controlling

The stability of thirty-six different commercial
dyes in water to visible and ultraviolet light from
a carbon arc has been studied. The dyes were
selected on the basis of their importance in the
textile industry from six major classes: basic,
acid, direct, vat, disperse and sulfur dyes. A
comparison is made for two of the dyes
between laboratory fading rates and fading
rates in natural sunlight. Both dyes degraded at
least 10 times more rapidly in artificial light than
in sunlight. Some previously identified
degradation products of Basic Green 4 were
confirmed, and a mechanism of their formation
was proposed. A significant difference in
degradaton rate was observed between water-
soluble dyes and pigment dispersions. This
study showed that most commercial colors are
resistant to photodegradation and many weeks
would be required to produce appreciable dye
degradation in a natural aquatic environment.

An aerial surveillance system, was evaluated for
the remote detection of both real and potential
spills threatening inland waterways. Twenty-
three multiband and baseline missions were
flown over oil refineries and other industrial
sites located adjacent to the Mississippi River.
Baseline flights were effective in counting
storage tanks, locating and identifying storage
equipment and pipeline systems and determin-
ing dike conditions. Stereoscopic analysis of
baseline imagery was used to estimate the
height of tanks and dikes, drainage patterns
and the area of openly stored waste products.
The multiband imagery was obtained by com-
bining each of nine filters with each of three dif-
ferent black and white films. Spectral contrast
image enhancement was accomplished by
either suppressing or transmitting the target
reflected radiation through proper film/filter
selections. Spills, effluents and waste areas
were hence identified on the multiband
imagery. Normal and false color imagery was
evaluated with the multiband imagery to deter-
mine the best film/filter combinations for the
areas of interest. Finally the personnel, equip-
ment and procedures required to implement an
aerial surveillance spill prevention system were
determined. (Modified author abstract)

A one-year study of a biological process for
treatment of coke plant ammonia liquor was
conducted. The process was designed to
remove carbon compounds and ammonia. The
pilot plant consisted of three treatment systems
arranged in series. These systems were
designed for the removal of carbon com-
pounds, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate
(nitrification), and the reduction of nitrate to
nitrogen gas (denitrification). The results of the
study indicate that the biological process can
be used to remove carbon compounds and am-
monia from dilute ammonia liquor. Treatment
efficiencies obtained include removals of
greater than gg.g percent phenol, 80 percent
COD, and 90 percent ammonia. Removal effi-
ciencies for cyanide and thiocyanate were less
encouraging with averages of 57 and 17 per-
cent, respectively.

The effects of a combined radiation-oxidation
process on solutions of textile dyes have been
studied. The combined treatment with gamma
radiation and chlorine causes more decoloriza-
tion than the effect of the two components
when they are applied individually. Several
chemical classes of dyes were tested, including
anthraquinone, azo, metallized azo, sulfur, stil-
bene, and triphenylmethane dyes. At a concen-
tration of 0.25 g/l the transmittance at the wave-
length of maximum absorbance of dye solu-
tions is greatly increased by treatment with a
radiation dose of 60 kR plus 75 ppm chlorine.
Non-optimized cost estimates indicate
$0.31/1000 gal. for design treatment, with nor-
mal operating costs potentially lower. Although
the major benefit from this treatment will be
removal of color, some reduction of chemical
oxygen demand will occur, and possibly some
reduction in the biochemical oxygen demand.

A comprehensive investigation of the physical,
chemical and biological limnology of Bighorn
Lake (formerly Yellowtail Reservoir) and its
tributaries was initiated in the fall of 1967 to
determine if a decline in primary productivity of
this new impoundment would occur. The study
specifically encompassed the heat budget,
salinity regime, internal currents and biological
productivity (phytoplankton) of the reservoir.
The three-year study was undertaken to relate
the physical and chemical environment of the
reservoir to primary production and to deter-
mine what changes in the primary production
took place over the entire study. An effort was
also made to assess the physical and chemical
characteristics of the influent and effluent
waters of the reservoir.

A theoretical study of the heat and momentum
transfer resulting from a flow of power plant
condenser effluent discharged vertically to
shallow, quiescent coastal receiving water is
presented. The complete partial differential
equations governing steady, incompressible,
turbulent flow driven by both initial momentum
and buoyancy are solved using finite-difference
techniques to obtain temperature and velocity
distributions in the near field of the thermal
discharge. Results were obtained for over 100
cases, using the computer program presented.
These results ranged from cases of pure
buoyancy to pure momentum and for receiving
water depths from 1 to 80 discharge diameters
deep. Various computed gross aspects of the
flow were compared to published data and
found to be in excellent agreement. Data for
shallow water plumes and the ensuing lateral
spread are not readily available: however, one
computed surface temperature distribution was
compared to proprietary data and found also to
be in reasonable agreement. (Modfied author

SIC codes in which they occur. Along with the
catalog, a simple model has been developed to
estimate rates of pollutant entry into the water-
ways, via various routes. A guide including ex-
amples is provided on how to use the catalog
and associated models to assess potential
water pollution problems arising from finished

The magnitude of potentially hazardous chemi-
cals now being transported through the country
poses a serious threat to the water ecosystem.
Unless spills can be controlled at their source,
movement into the water system may be in-
evitable. Such control dictates the availability of
systems capable of forming dikes or flow divert-
ing barriers either as a portable system carried
on the vehicle or a mobile unit rapidly deploya-
ble to the site. In this regard, a program was in-

the survival, development, bioenergetics and
growth, swimming performance, and avoidance
behavior of Chinook and coho salmon, steel-
head trout, and largemouth bass. Some studies
have been conducted under very simple labora-
tory conditions, as in aquaria or other ap-
paratus, but some studies on bioenergetics and
growth have also been conducted under rather
natural conditions in laboratory streams and
ponds. In some important cases, close cor-
respondence was found between the effects of
reduced oxygen concentration in aquarium stu-
dies of growth at maximum rations and its ef-
fects under more natural conditions in labora-
tory streams and ponds. Some of the biological
responses of the fish studies were affected by
any appreciable reduction in dissolved oxygen
below the air saturation levels, whereas others
were affected only at levels below about 50 per-
cent the air saturation levels. (Modified author

This report attempts to describe performance
criteria for an ideal oil spill containment boom
for emergency harbor service. The type of
boom recommended is that which an emergen-
cy service, such as a fire department or a plant
team could transport promptly to a spill in-
cident within a harbor and deploy quickly to
contain the spilled oil. The experience acquired
by the Marine Division of the NYFD over the
course of one year, both at active spill control
operations and in test exercises, serves as the
principal source of information for this report.
Among the boom criteria developed are:
recommended size and performance capabili-
ties; storage and handling problems; optimum
design characteristics. (Modified author ab-

The objective was to study the effects of in-
creased water temperature characteristic of
clearcut watersheds of Pacific coastal streams
upon the growth rate of juvenile coho salmon.
The natural temperature fluctuations of the
stream were used in the study of growth of un-
deryearling fish held in aquariums and fed at
various consumption levels. Juvenile coho fed
in the control stream grew somewhat faster
than did those that experienced the warmer
temperatures of the clearcut stream. This was
particularly true at low levels of consumption.
Growth rates of juvenile coho salmon in the
wild state were found to be slightly higher in the
clearcut stream as compared to the unlogged
stream. This difference from the experimental
results may have been due to a change in
availability and abundance of food. There was a
marked decrease in the cutthroat trout popula-
tion in the clearcut stream, which may have
reduced competition for food. There was no ap-
parent influence of infestation by salmon
poisoning fluke on the condition of the juvenile
coho in the clearcut stream.

The substantial momentum output of large
volume, high pressure water nozzles can be
used to establish surface currents which are
helpful in controlling floating oil. When these
induced currents have components opposite to
the ambient current, a turbulent rip zone is
established where the opposing currents can-
cel. It is mainly by means of this zone that oil
slicks may be influenced in a useful way. An
empirical relationship for the distance between
the impact point of the stream and the rip zone,
as a function of nozzle output and natural cur-
rent speed, has been determined and compared
with a theoretical prediction based on a sim-
plified model. Techniques for the use of such
large volume, high velocity water streams to
control oil are described and their limitations
are discussed. (Modified author abstract)

While this report deals primarily with methods
of extracting oil from under piers, it ts recog-
nized that simple extraction is not enough, and
that the oil should also be removed from the en-
vironment. Therefore considerable attention
has been paid to driving the oil out in such a
way that it can be picked up. The primary
means of extraction are by the establishment of
artificial currents under the contaminated pier,
and a number of methods are suggested to
cope with various types of pier substructure.
Some other possible approaches, not involving
flushing by artificial currents, are also
discussed. These include: uses of chemicals,
sinking, air entrapment and entombment. A
generalized description of pier structures is
also included. Author

One of the most common sources of failure in
the application of floating oil booms to contain
an oil spill is leakage between the end of the
boom and the adjacent shoreline, deck or bulk-
head. Booms cannot be fastened solidly to the
shore since they must rise and fall with the
changes in height due to tides and waves. The
use of counter-currents generated by a fire
stream or prop wash is attractive, although it
ties up a boat often needed for other tasks.
Futhermore. the shallow draft of a small boat al-
lows oil to escape beneath the boat unless the
boat is overlapped by the boom. Securing
boom to the boat while avoiding the fouling of
the boat's propeller then becomes operational
concerns. A simple structure is described for
mounting a small outboard motor to 'seal' the
gap. This boom terminator can be constructed
on-scene with tools and materials generally
available around the waterfront by relatively un-
skilled personnel.

uated. Its basis was to hydraulically flush
manure from shallow dunging gutters with the
treated wastewater. The treatment devices eval-
uated included an anaerobic lagoon and an ox-

The study attempts to develop a methodology
for comparing hospital solid waste handling
systems from a point of view which considers
both the operational and the social costs. The
problem is laid out as a decision tree, where
nodes of the tree represent decision points at
stages of hospital waste handling, and
branches at any node represent the different
system's available at that point. Cost functions
are developed for each alternative, with
hospital characteristics and performance stan-
dards as parameters in the functions. The op-
timal system minimizes the total cost of collec-
tion, treatment and transportation to the point
of final disposal, while maintaining the
prescribed performance standards. A model of
a centralized incineration system, which com-
bines the waste hauling and treatment systems
of hospitals in an area, is developed and ap-
plied to hospitals in the Minneapolis and St.
Paul metropolitan area. (Modified author ab-

for incinerating mixed oversized wastes, with
special reference to the combustion and air
pollution. The report illustrated a type of in-
cinerator that was suitable for burning over-
sized wastes without smoke and without the
necessity for prior sorting or shredding. A
procedure was outlined for designing the con-
figuration of combustion chambers, primary
and secondary, and for sizing the air ducts,

balances, the volumes of air and flue gas were
determined. The prinicples and design factors
were derived from tests on full-scale furnaces.

and their economic impact on the construction
and operation of asphalt concrete plants,
petroleum refineries, storage vessels, seconda-
ry lead smelters and refineries, brass or bronze
ingot production plants, iron and steel plants,
and sewage treatment plants. Information is
also provided on the environmental impact of
imposing the standards. The standards require
control at a level typical of well controlled exist-
ing plants and attainable with existing
technology. To determine these levels, exten-
sive on-site investigations were conducted, and
design factors, maintenance practices, availa-
ble test data, and the character of emissions
were considered. Economic analyses of the ef-
fects of the standards indicate they will not
cause undue reductions of profit margins or
reductions in growth rates. (Author)

The problem of bark waste that is generated by
the forest products industry in the United States
has become increasingly important. The major
overall goal of the work covered in this report
was to use physical and chemical sciences in
coordinated studies to promote economic uses
of bark in order to relieve pollution created by
present methods of disposal. Physical utiliza-
tion research included: investigating the
preparation of bark pellets from bark; determin-
ing the components responsible for 'self-bond-
ing' of bark; and investigating potential
products from or applications of bark wastes
obtained from production sources. Chemical
utilization research included: preparing, for
chemical studies, natural bark, bark that had
been ammoniated to contain 4 percent
nitrogen, and bark that had been molded into
pellets and then broken down into small parti-
cles; and investigating the chemical composi-
tion of each type of bark prepared.

Methods of drastic acid hydrolysis or of intense
irradiation can effect the conversion of cellu-
lose to glucose; however, either of these two
processes is not practical for a large-scale
commercial operation. An investigation was
made using a combination of the two above
mentioned methods. Cellulose (filter paper)
was irradiated with gamma rays and sub-
sequently hydrolyzed in solutions of hydrochlo-
ric acid. The combination of possible industrial
conditions, i.e., dilute acid hydrolysis, moderate
radiation doses, short hydrolysis times, and
relatively low temperatures, produced cellu-
lose-to-glucose yields of up to 25%. Although
the yields obtained were too low to be industri-
ally attractive, this study indicated promising
trends toward cellulose conversion under
radiation and hydrolysis conditions that might
well lie within the range of economic feasibility.

The established nature and enforcement of en-
vironmental standards will have a far reaching
impact on future socio-economic-environmen-
tal characteristics of geographical areas,
availability and cost of energy, revitalization of
urban areas and overall quality of life. The pur-
pose of the paper is to provide a frame of
reference for discussion of fixed vs. variable
standards and to generally explore some poten-
tial social and economic consequences of al-
lowing variable standards. It is shown that ef-
fluent or emission standards particularly, ex-
hibit both fixed as well as variable properties
based on parameters such as time, geographi-
cal area and source category. Present variabili-
ty in standards generally results from indepen-
dent analyses of individual pollutants and in-
dividual source categories. The implications of
variable standards are discussed within the
context of the air pollution problem as a
specific illustration.

The operation of an anaerobic-aerobic bio-ox-
idation treatment system for textile wastes
using activated carbon was studied for 24
months at Palisades Industries. Peace Dale,
Rhode Island. Biological oxidation and conver-
sion of soluble organic waste constituents took
place in the aerated basin operated as a mixed
dispersed growth reactor without return
sludge. Washed out solids from the aeration
basin were filtered by a parallel set of activated
carbon columns. The entrapped solids were
then hydrolized when these columns were
regenerated in place anaerobically. A second
parallel set of carbon columns provided for ad-
ditional removal of solids and soluble organics.
However, the biological regeneration in these
columns was carried out aerobically. The study
demonstrated that waste streams from a typical
cloth dyeing and finishing operation can be ef-
fectively treated using activated carbon cou-
pled with biological regeneration. (Modified

The effect of hydrodynamics of flux decline of

fluent from the Oak Ridge East Sewage Plant as
feed. The system contained multiple, annular-
geometry housings which could be operated
simultaneously at different velocities with the
same feed. The range of fluxes studied was
from 2 to 1 SO gal./sq ft a day and axial velocities
ranged from 3 to 30 ft/sec. System pressure
was 600 psig. The results demonstrate that
there is a threshold velocity above which flux
decline is markedly smaller than at lower
velocities. In scouting studies, addition of a
flocculant appeared to markedly reduce the
threshold velocity. For the initial 200-300 hours
of those tests with primary sewage effluent as
feed and in which the axial velocity was above
the threshold velocity, the flux decline parame-
ter was determined. (Modified author abstract)

were also conducted to assess the affect of
Mg(-G) ion on the solubility of calcareous
materials. Solubility was found to vary with the
surface area and mineralogy of the carbonate
material, and the degree of saturation of the
water with respect to a given carbonate
mineral. The presence of Mg(-C) decreased the
solubility of dolomite in waters which were near
saturation with respect to dolomite.

The report summarizes research on the use of
waste glass as an aggregate in asphaltic paving
mixtures. Reusing waste glass in this manner
would provide an outlet for large quantities of
the glass and would permit recycling in urban
areas where large accumulations of glass are
found. Field tests as well as observations of
pavement performance have indicated that field
installations of asphaltic paving mixtures con-
taining glass have generally maintained
adequate skid resistance and performed ac-
ceptably from a structural standpoint. The
economic feasibility of using waste glass as an
aggregate in asphaltic concrete is discussed.

Successful operation is described of a storage
pond used to collect treated wastewaters and
runoff for recycle to manufacturing operations
under conditions of drought and severe water
shortages. Treated sewage and cafeteria
wastes are stored in an air sparger mixed pond
and are returned to the manufacturing plant to
provide water for evaporative cooling and a
variety of production processes. By applying
long term storage, air sparger agitation, and
controlled stratification during the summer, it
has been possible to increase the effectiveness
of limited well supplies from six to fifteen times.
The efficiency of the pond depends in larger
part upon biological processes that go on in the
comparatively shallow areas of the system.
These act to capture phosphorus and to stabil-
ize algal organics generated in the pond itself.

The emission levels that could be reached by
development on two combustors representing
a 12:1 pressure ratio simple cycle gas turbine,
and a 5:1 pressure ratio regenerative cycle gas
turbine, both for automotive application were
evaluated. Goals were to equal or better the
EPA 1975-76 Federal Emission Standards for
automobiles. Some 60 atmospheric rig tests
'were carried out on the simple-cycle combustor
whilst 39 atmospheric rig tests were carried out
on the regenerative cycle combustor. Some 430
pressure test points involving over 200 modifi-
cations to combustor geometry were run. Vari-
ous fuel injection methods were employed,
such as pressure atomizing, air-assisted pres-
sure atomizing and air-blast atomizing. For
reasons of reliability and primary zone lean-
ness, the air-blast atomizer was the final selec-
tion. The best results were obtained by the in-
troduction of sufficient air to provide a lean
head end (in the form of 3 stages of swirl) while
maintaining fairly high temperatures in the in-
termediate zone, the remainder of the air being
introduced into the dilution zone. Effects of
outside parameters - viz. inlet humidity and
regenerator bypass - on combustor emissions
were also evaluated.

The feasibility of using nitrite-accelerated
photodegradation as a pretreatment for waste
cellulose before converting the cellulose to
protein was investigated. The substrates used
were cotton (inters paper and purified wood
cellulose. The method employed was to ir-
radiate the dry paper or a slurry of the cellulose
in an aqueous solution with ultraviolet light,
from lamps. The indicated cellulose materials
were irradiated for selected time intervals, and
the average degree of polymerization (and
hence, the degree of degradation) was deter-
mined from their intrinsic viscosities in cadox-
ene solutions. Although some of the
photochemical pretreatments showed benefi-
cial effects in accelerating bacterial protein
production, the quantum efficiencies did not
appear to be sufficiently high to be of practical
value for treatment of cellulosic wastes. Signifi-
cant benefits, however, could possibly be ob-
tained by less costly chemical treatments.

Because poultry manure is an agricultural
waste, methods of disposing and treating it
must be found. The interrelationships between
poultry manure processing, bacterial load,
pathogenicity, and bird performance are poorly
understood. In an attempt to deal with these
problems, six experiments were conducted to
compare the effects of various litter treatments
on bird performance to eight weeks of age. To
produce litter for broiler-type male chickens,
the experimenters mixed poultry manure with
other substances such as pine shavings, fresh
sand, and cleaned rice hulls. Some of the mix-
tures were treated with a bacterial preparation.
Comparisons were made of the treatments to
see if the poultry manure could be incorporated
into a mixture that would be beneficial to the
chickens. The survival of disease agents in
composted poultry waste was also investigated.
Observations were recorded for each experi-
ment.

The report describes the investigation of the
nitrate contamination in Runnels County,
Texas. It was found that most water well con-
tamination is due to naturally occurring nitrate.
However, all the very high nitrate contamination
problems (XXX) ppm) are principally due to
nitrate from barnyards. The nitrate sources
were confirmed using the nitrogen isotope ratio
technique. The nitrate contamination was
caused by a rising water table which inter-
sected and dissolved nitrate deposits from the
soil. The rising water table was caused by a
combination of low porosity aquifers, increased
infiltration (decreased surface runoff) due to
terracing, and several consecutive years of
above normal rainfall. There appears to be no
economical way to remove the nitrate from
either the water or the soil. Recommendations
for ways for the area residents to obtain potable
water and for a continued monitoring program
are included. (Modified author abstract)

Identifiers: 'Fabric filters.
The report identifies a semi-empirical relation-
ship for fabric air filters between clean cloth
fabric structural parameters, dust parameters,
and filtration performance. High outlet concen-
tration caused by bleeding or seepage of dust is
a function of the pore size distribution of the
fabric vs. size properties of the dust. A signifi-
cant number of pores with a characteristic
dimension roughly 10 times the mass mean par-
ticle diameter of the dust being filtered leads to
bleeding and seepage of dust. This conclusion
results from studies with three dusts (fly ash,
limestone, and silica), a number of fiber types,
and a range of fabric construction variables.
Pressure-related filtration performance can be
correlated with clean fabric free area if yarn
boundaries are well defined. Since many yarn
boundaries are not well defined, clean cloth
Frazier permeability may be used as an alterna-
tive method of correlating pressure-related fil-
tration performance. (Author)

possible uses are discussed. Burning sludge in
incinerators costs between S11 and $13/dry
ton, including all prior dewatering steps.
Sludge can be made available at various
degrees of dewatering at costs of from $7 to
$20/dry ton. Incorporation into farm soil offers
the possibility for disposal of large quantities of
sludge. At fow levels (100-200 tons/acre) crop
yields are satisfactory, provided adequate
nitrogen is added. A high level incorporation
(600 tons/acre) requires a year of fallow
preceding crop planting. Sludge alone or in
combination with bark can be used as a
hydromulch in establishing grass stands on
steep embankments.

A plant of 100 gal/min capacity was con-
structed and operated for one year to demon-
strate the feasibility to remove and recover
phenol and acetic acid from an 16% sodium
chloride brine by adsorption on fixed beds of
activated carbon. The purified brine was used
for production of chlorine and caustic soda.
Separate electrolytical test-cell evaluation of
the purified brine showed it to be equivalent to
pure brine. Regeneration of the carbon was ac-
complished by desorption with dilute sodium
hydroxide. The phenol desorbed was recycled
to the phenol manufacturing plant while the
acetate regenerant was processed to un-
derground disposal wells. More than 23 million
gallons of brine were purified. Fourteen cycles
of phenol adsorption and regeneration and 105
cycles of acetic acid adsorption and regenera-
tion were completed with no significant deteri-
oration of carbon performance. The process
results are discussed in detail along with costs.

Laboratory evaluations of twenty resins and
seven carbons for removing color and minerals
from a four-stage kraft bleach plant showed
resins were equal to carbon for decoloring the
combined waste. With few exceptions, resins
were unsuited for decoloring wates from each
stage separately. Except for success in the use
of weak wash to regenerate Amberlite XAD-8
resin, utilization of mill liquors for regeneration
was unsuccessful. Sulfuric acid, caustic, and
ammonia were good regenerates, but lime was
poor. Single stage ion exchange produced
water adequate for unbleached pulping. Two-
stage desalination produced water adequate
for bleached pulping. Any of the continuous
counter-current ion exchange processes are
probably adequate for producing water for
bleached pulping. The estimated cost for
desalination including amortization over a 10
year period at 9 percent interest, labor, chemi-
cals, maintenance, and repairs are estimated.

The selection of the best control mode for a
steam-car power plant and experimental verifi-
cation of the soundness of the concept through
pre-prototype control hardware is presented. A
new control concept, the predictive flow-con-
trol system, was proposed; .it includes the use
of the expander as a positive-displacement
machine so give an indication of instantaneous
steam-flow requirements. A strong open-loop
control system then adjusts both the burner
power level and the feedwater supply system to
satisfy this demand. Secondary closed-loop
controls correct any deviations in the output
pressure and temperature of the steam genera-
tor from the desired set points. The corrections
are accomplished by an appropriate trim-con-
trol function in both the burner and feedwater
supply systems. A wide-range, analytical model
of the vapor generator was combined with an
analytical description of the expander and all
auxiliaries to form a hybrid-computer simula-
tion. Results were compared with experimental
data on the Steam Engine Systems Model-4

lime effectively removes phosphate but
generates considerable quantities of sludge
and a sludge disposal problem. Evaluation of
technical and economic aspects of potential
sludge utilization, or disposal concepts con-
sidered agricultural applications, conversion of
sludge to products of known market value, and
transporting sludge from the plant site by vari-
ous means. The phosphate industry appeared
to offer the greatest potential for use of the
sludge provided sludge phosphate content
could be enriched. Methods considered for
phosphate enrichment were: thermal beneficia-
tion, carbonation. and calcining/slaking. In
areas where the magnesium content of waste-
water is relatively high, sludge processing to
recover both phosphate and magnesium could
be economical. Preliminary cost estimates are
presented for several levels of process com-
plexity in liming secondary effluent with poten-
tial recovery of lime and phosphate. A summary

Erosion rate studies supported by attenuated

and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
analyses provide a definitive technique for
determining the effect of atmospheric pollu-
tants on the performance of exterior coatings.
This technique is based on the use of a gas con-

other methods of testing that were in-
vestigated—tensile strength, gloss or sheen and
surface roughness—provided considerably less
consistent trends in data for either the 'short
term' exterior exposure or the Weather-Ometer
studies. Atmospheric pollutants at levels
representative of a highly polluted industrial
site (1.0 ppm SO2 or O3) were shown in
Weather-Ometer studies to exert a significant
adverse effect on the performance of specific
coatings compared to the zero pollutant condi-
tion. The ranking of a coating in terms of ero-
sion rates was also shown to be virtually inde-
pendent of exposure to a pollutant type or level.
Four paints were studied—oil house paint, latex

This project has been directed towards the
evaluation of the effect of electrical fields, AC
and DC, on the metabolism and growth of
microorganisms. Test systems used were batch
culture, (Aerobic and anaerobic), continuous
culture, and the use of genetic mutants for
membrane transport studies. Voltages were ap-
plied to cell suspensions with inert platinum
and carbon electrodes, and were limited to
levels below the onset of electrolysis of water.
Care was exercised in maintaining constant
temperatures for comparative experiments,
since one direct effect of applied currents was
resistive heating of the solutions. The growth
medium was designed so that the carbon
source (usually glucose) was the limiting
nutrient. For most of the studies, analysis of cell
growth and glucose utilization was used to
evaluate the effects of electric fields. (Modified

The process of thermophilic aerobic digestion
has been proposed to treat wastewater sludge,
either alone or mixed with garbage from
household garbage disposals. The major reac-
tions involved in the process are presented,
discussed, and simplified into an overall net
reaction for the determination of the basic
stoichiometric, thermochemical, and kinetic
relationships. Volatile solids destruction, ox-
ygen utilization, and carbon dioxide production
are related stoichiometrically for both ammonia
and nitrate as products of organic nitrogen ox-
idation. A simple procedure is presented for
determining the thermochemistry of the net
reaction by relating heat production to the ox-
ygen equivalent or COD of the organic solids.
The simulation studies and mathematical
model discussed employ conservative values of
biological parameters. The mathematical model
provides assistance in planning and conduct-
ing pilot plant studies.

Processed residential refuse from four mu-
nicipal composting plants was evaluated as a
source of plant nutrients and as a soil amend-
ment. Indicator plants were turnip, pearl millet,
cranberry beans, tomato, and sorghum. Three
of the composts used were high in carbon and
low in nitrogen, which resulted in delayed
nitrification accompanied by poor plant growth.
Total soluble salts in those composts were rela-
tively high and could affect seed germination.
Extracts of compost (160 g/500ml H2O) greatly
reduced germination in radish and turnip seed,
and extracts from 320 g compost/SOOml H2O
reduced germination to 0 in turnip and radish
seed and to about 40 percent in oat and millet
seed. After a period of time in the soil, compost
applications above 32 metric tons/ha increased
plant yields and improved soil cation exchange
capacity and water-holding capacity. In labora-
tory studies with compost incorporated at vari-
ous levels in Arredondo sand, almost no nitrifi-
cation occurred. When mixed with cow manure
in equal parts, compost effectively curtailed
nitrification in the cow-manure almost 100 per-
cent. (Modified author abstract)

The effects of copper ions at subacute concen-

fish (Carassius auratus), channel catfish
(Ictalurus punctatus), largemouth bass
(Micropterus salmoides), white sucker
(Catostomus commersoni commersoni) and
green sunfish (Lepomis cyannelus) were in-
vestigated in detail. In regions of water contain-
ing 11-17 micrograms/1 Cm+(as CuCI2) in a
shallow gradient goldfish oriented toward the
copper source ('attraction'). This response is
reduced in a somewhat steeper gradient.
Whether the response will be 'avoidance' or
'attraction' seems to depend on the slope of the
gradient to which the fish is exposed. Even in
steep gradients, the 'avoidance' behavior is
reversed to 'attraction' when the copper ions
interact with a temperature slightly higher (.4C)
than that of the surrounding copper free water.
The orientation of the largemouth bass is not
affected by copper ions at the concentrations
tested. Channel catfish are weakly attracted by
the copper-containing water and green sunfish
significantly increase time spent there. Suckers
significantly but not absolutely 'avoid' such
water through changes in turning behavior.

The association of automotive fuel composition
with exhaust reactivity was studied in an experi-

ferent automotive engines and with gasolines
of varied composition. Results showed clearly
the exhaust reactivity to increase with increas-
ing levels of polyalkylbenzenes in the fuel. For
the purposes of the study, had it been possible,
fuel composition should have been defined and
expressed in terms of component groups such
that the potential for exhaust reactivity would
be the same within each group and different
from group to group. Statistical analysis of the
mass emissions data showed significant car
and fuel effects on hydrocarbon, carbon
monoxide, nitric oxide, total aldehydes, and
formaldehyde emission levels and on total
photochemical reactivity. Correlations were
found between mass emission parameters and

Gamma irradiation of textile mill affluents
under oxygen pressures up to 1500 psi, with
and without activated charcoal present, was
studied as a method for removing color and
removal of substances contributing to the
chemical oxygen demand (COD). Both color
and COD reduction are directly related to the
radiation dose and pressure of the oxygen over
the dye solution samples during irradiation. The
study revealed a new method for in-situ reac-
tivation of charcoal by gamma-radiation-in-
duced oxidation of organic compounds ad-
sorbed on charcoal. This discovery permits a
large reduction in the gamma source size
required for processing textile mill effluents
because the water fraction of the effluent does
not need to be irradiated to the same degree as
the organic material contained in the effluent. A
mathematical model for the process was
developed.

The role of routine water quality surveillance
was investigated, including a delineation of the
objectives of a state water quality program
based upon the state and federal laws. Seven
specific objectives are listed under the two
general objectives of prevention and abate-
ment: planning, research, aid programs, techni-
cal assistance, regulation, enforcement, and
data collection, processing, and dissemination.
Each objective was broken down into the
general activities required for its accomplish-
ment and the data needed for each activity were
identified. A survey of systems for grab sam-
pling, automatic monitoring, and remote
sensing was performed, each data acquisition
technique being analyzed for capabilities, relia-
bility, and cost. A procedure was developed for
designing a state water quality surveillance pro-
gram responsive to objectives. Financial and
manpower constraints are considered.

Bioassay experiments were conducted to deter-

stages of bluegill sunfish. Bluegill eggs hatched
at temperatures from 18 to 36C during two in-
cubation tests. Maximal hatch occurred at 22.2
and 23.9C. Lower TL50 temperature for hatch
or normal fry was 21-9C and upper TL50 tem-
perature was 33.8C. Juvenile bluegills accli-
mated to 12.1C had a lower 96-hour TL50 of
3.2C and an upper 96-hour TL50 of 27.5C. Ju-
veniles acclimated to 32.9C has a lower 96-fiour
TL50 of 1S.3C and an upper 96-hour TL50 of
37.3C. TL50 increased with increasing tempera-
ture of acclimation. For juveniles acclimated to
a given temperature, upper TL50 decreased
with longer exposure. A preliminary test deter-
mined ranges of thermal tolerance for sac-fry
and swim-up fry. In another preliminary test, ju-
venile bluegills were acclimated to 12.1, 19.0,
26.0 or 32.9C, and reared at a series of test tem-
peratures for three to six wks. to define optimal
temperature ranges for growth and survival.

A program was conducted to evaluate the
feasiblity of methods for plugging leaks in
damaged chemical containers by application of
suitable plastic barriers. Such a system would
be valuable in helping to prevent water pollu-
tion from spilled hazardous chemicals. A large
number of candidate sealants were evaluated in
laboratory screening tests, including various
urethane foams;, polystyrene and polyvinyl
acetate instant foams; .filled and unfilled epoxy
systems; and polysulfide, butyl, neoprene, and
silicone rubber systems. The most promising
results were obtained with the urethane foams.
Additional evaluation and scaleup tests were
made, including sealing of leaks of many dif-
ferent hazardous chemicals, application to
leaks both under water and in air, and sealing of
leaks in 55-gallon containers. The feasibility of
this concept was demonstrated. As a con-
sequence of the success already realized, it is
probable that a practical and useful system,
embodying this approach, can be developed.

Oil pollution.
Part I of this project has established that fossil
hydrocarbons can be distinguished from
biogenic hydrocarbons in living organisms.
Hydrocarbons are stable in marine organisms
and sediments and can move unaltered through
several trophic levels. Only very low levels of or-
ganic stimuli are necessary for chemical com-
munication—a mechanism especially prone to
interference by pollutants. Part II has
established that a low level of crude oil (0.9 mil-
jiliters/liter) interferes with the timing of feed-
ing behavior in the lobster (Homarus amer-
icanus). Water soluble fractions (in the 50 ppb
range) did not affect feeding behavior. Added
oil reduced the lipids as well as alkane and al-
kene-aromatic content of aquaria. Degradation
of added oil followed the usual pathways of
evaporation, dissolution, oxidation,
polymerization, and metabolism. (Modified

There are about 600,000 to 700,000 producing
oil and gas wells and about 800 natural gas
processing plants in the United States. The field
separation equipment serving these wells and
the natural gas processing plants emit pollu-

total of 7,000 to 18,000 tons per day of
hydrocarbons, about 20,000 tons per day of sul-
fur oxides, and about 52 tons per day of sulfides
(as H2S) were emitted. It is estimated that 90 %
of the field processing equipment has adequate
emissions control. Technology is available for
100% control;, however, conomics are not
favorable for recovery of hydrocarbon losses
from small production fields in remote loca-

The atmospheric emissions that are produced
during the operation of calcining gypsum and
production of gypsum board products are stu-
died. The average paniculate emissions from
these plants are between 25 and 40 pounds per
hour with baghouse collectors and electrostatic
precipitators generally being employed as con-
trol devices. Emission of sulfur oxides is
primarily dependent upon the sulfur content of
the fuels being used for calcining and other
operations, and production of nitrogen oxides
is also a function of the combustion equipment
and fuels used. Emission regulations relating to
visible, particulate, sulfur oxide, and nitrogen
oxide emissions are shown for nine states. A
description of a general process for production
calcined gypsum and gypsum board products
is given with flow diagrams. A list of gypsum
and/or gypsum product producers is shown
along with total industry production capacity,
best controlled plants and their control equip-
ment, and emissions data from various produc-
tion locations. A brief description of emission
analysis, applicable control technology, and

A prototype instrument was developed for auto-

The analytical principle employed was flame
emission photometry. Phosphorus compounds
burned in a hydrogen flame emit at about 525
millimicrons. Conditions were established for
the sensitive measurement of phosphorus in
water. Operating parameters investigated in-
cluded fuel and air flow rates burner configura-
tion, operating temperature, method of sample
aerosolization, etc. Using an ultrasonic nebu-
lizer to aerosolize samples of triethylphosphate
in water, it was possible to detect phosphorus
at a concentration of less than 2 parts per bil-
lion. A procedure was worked out for distin-
guishing between organic and inorganic
phosphorus with ion exchange resins. In mea-
surements designed to determine interference
by sodium and calcium, it was observed that the
method is about 1000 times more sensitive
towards phosphorus than towards sodium and
5000 times more sensitive towards phosphorus
than towards calcium. A prototype instrument
was designed, fabricated, and tested.

A state-of-the-art review is presented of
highway deicing practices and associated en-
vironmental effects. The bare pavement policy
has resulted in a great increase in the use of de-
icing salts, but excessive application is leading
to environmental problems. Besides chemical
melting, various methods for deicing are
discussed in this article. Salt storage facilities
often become a major contributing source of
local groundwater and surface water salt con-
tamination. Coverage of salt piles is becoming
more prevalent. Types of enclosed structures
are illustrated, and cost considerations given.
High chloride concentration levels have been
found in roadway runoff. The special additives
in deicing salts may create more severe pollu-
tional problems than the chloride salts.
Widespread damage of roadside soils and
vegetation has been observed in areas of liberal
salt usage.

criteria and data necessary to produce a low
emission combustor. This information was to
be utilized in the production of two combustor
designs, one for a typical low-pressure
regenerative type of engine and the other for a
high-pressure engine with partial recuperation.
Several model combustors were produced em-
ploying various concepts to obtain low emis-

Sealing, grouting, and mechanical-hydraulic

banks were evaluated through 15 demonstra-
tion grants in three states of the Appalachian
region of the United States. The primary pur-
pose of the demonstration grant program was
to evaluate various techniques for extinguish-
ing culm-bank fires. Both effectiveness and unit
cost were major considerations in the evalua-
tion. Mechanical-hydraulic methods were the
most successful procedures used in terms of
effectiveness and economy. These methods,
however, require large quantities of water and a
large disposal area—requirements that are not
always present at burning culm-bank sites. The
wide diversity of coal-refuse-bank sizes,

selection of a universally recommended control
method impossible. (Modified author abstract)

less than 5% were obtained by the dual cell

Copper caused low analytical results for NTA.
No other significant interference by metals or

The report gives results of a study of the poten-
tial of catalytic combustion for pollution-free
domestic heating applications. Nine of the 14
commercially available catalytic heaters tested
operated on propane; the other five, on lead-
free gasoline. Substrate thickness, catalyst type
and concentration, and fuel rate were ex-
amined. Hydrocarbon emissions could not be
reduced to levels now possible with conven-
tional domestic heating units; however, NOx
emissions were very low from nearly all heaters.
In the controlled testing, substrate thickness
and catalyst treatment had little effect on HC
emissions. Some units produced very high
levels of CO which the performance of other
units and controlled testing showed to be
preventable. Because of the high HC emissions,
more research is necessary before catalytic
heating can be considered a viable domestic
heating alternative. (Modified author abstract)

The principal objective of the combustion ex-

nitric oxide formation process in a continuous
flow combustion system in which the flame is
stabilized by recirculation. Specifically, the fac-
tors affecting nitric oxide production in the
recirculation zone were to be identified and the
importance of nitric oxide production in the
recirculation zone' to overall nitric oxide
production in the combustor was to be deter-
mined. A simplified experimental configuration
was used to permit detailed examination of the
nitric oxide formation process in the com-
bustion. The amount of nitric oxide produced in
the recirculation zone is known to depend on
four principal factors-the recirculation zone
volume, the temperature and residence time of
the gas in the zone, and the O-atom concentra-
tion in the zone. The data were used to corre-
late nitric oxide production in the recirculation
zone with the important zone characteristics.

Laboratory studies were conducted with a shal-

flowing ambient stream. Plume behavior,
characterized by excess temperature, trajecto-
ry, and width, was observed to determine the
qualitative effects of the discharge angle,
Froude number, relative stream velocity, and
turbulence in the ambient water. Increasing the
angle of discharge in a vertical plane parallel to
the direction of stream flow caused increased
dilution and lower temperatures along the
trajectory. Jets of higher Froude number
diluted less than those of lower Froude number
for the same discharge angle and relative
stream velocity. With no turbulence in the am-
bient stream, dilution was increased by a reduc-
tion in the ambient stream velocity. However, in
a turbulent stream, dilution was decreased by a
reduction in the ambient velocity. (Author)

Ferrous solid waste is one component of the
total problem relating to solid waste manage-
ment. The study focuses attention primarily on
the problems associated with recycling of ob-
solete ferrous scrap. The major steel compa-
nies use large quantities of in-house and
prompt industrial scrap in the production of
raw steel. But difficulties are being encounted.
Thus the emphasis was on the factors influenc-
ing the recycling of can scrap, automobile
scrap, obsolete consumer durables, and in-
cinerator residue. The analysis suggests that
recycling of ferrous solid waste would not in-
crease markedly until the latter half of the
present decade.

The economic impact of air pollution on
vegetation in New Jersey was studied for a
second year, from May 1972 through May, 1973.
Direct losses to agronomic crops and ornamen-
tal planting were evaluated; crop substitution
and indirect yield reduction were not ac-
counted for. The total losses to these crops for
1972-73 amounted to $128.019. Forty-seven
percent of the plant damage was caused by oxi-
dants, 18% by hydrogen fluoride. 16% by
ethylene, 4% by sulfur dioxide and 1% by an-
hydrous ammonia. Cumberland. Warren, Atlan-
tic and Salem Counties sustained the greatest
degree of injury. Damage reported in this sur-
vey was only 11% of that reported for 1971-1972
in New Jersey. (See PB-214 100). Reduced
losses did not result from decreased air pollu-
tion concentrations but rather from altered en-
vironmental conditions. The unusual rainfall
patterns in 1972 placed the plants under water
stress and probably protected them from air
pollution injury. The report also documents
unknown problems, and assesses research
needs. (Author)

The phenomenal growth of oxidation lagoons
as a form of municipal waste treatment is a
reflection of their relatively low cost and ease of
maintenance. The widespread acceptance of
lagooning was originally predicated on their
ability to produce effluent quality at least
equivalent to accepted secondary treatment In
the semi-arid Great Plains states where lagoons
were originally successful, such efficiencies
were easily achieved for most of the year. Un-
fortunately, differences in climate (especially
sunlight and rainfall), soil type, population den-
sity and a multitude of diverse problems have
worked against such success for other portions
of the country. Inventory and operative data
from municipal lagoon facilities have been col-
lected and evaluated. The adequacy of such
facilities to produce effluent to meet state water
quality criteria for receiving waters has been
evaluated.

The report discusses research which found that
the use of an oxidation ditch for treatment of
domestic sewage sludges by aerobic digestion
was superior to anaerobic digestion. Maximum
reductions of 64.7% for volatile solids and
67.8% for COD were achieved. At moderate
temperatures the DO content of the mixed
liquor appears to be the factor limiting COD and
volatile solids reductions. When the DO content
exceeds 1.5 ppm the reductions of COD and
volatile solids reached their maximum values,
however, nitrate and phosphate concentrations
in the mixed liquor increased to values of 30
ppm and 115 ppm respectively. The dewatering
characteristics of the digested sludge were
found to be no better than those of raw sludge.
Evidence also indicates that this process is
better suited to continuous rather than semi-
continuous operation costs are reported.

The research program was designed to provide

and rates of removal of organic materials from
waste waters by biological processes. Pure
compound feed materials were used with the
exception of a series of tests on sewage solids
obtained from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Sewage
Treatment Plant by centrifugation of primary ef-
fluent. Two model reactor systems were used to
measure rates of substrate removal. The film
flow reactor, characterized by a stationary
biological slime layer, was used to study
removal kinetics under conditions where mass
transfer may be a limiting factor. A well mixed
batch reactor was used to study rates of
removal under conditions where biological
processes are rate controlling. Rates of sub-
strate degradation and carbon removal are re-
ported for each of the pure compounds using
acclipoated innoculum. Rate data from batch
reactors are expressed in terms of microbial
growth rate coefficients. Rate data from the film
flow reactor is reported as the quantity of sub-
strate removed per unit of slime surface per unit
of time.

The aim was to determine the optimum gas tur-
bine powerplant system for a standard six-pas-
senger automobile. The major goals for the gas
turbine automobile are (1) it should meet the
1976 Federal Emissions Standards and (2) it
should be similar to, or better than, the present
automobile with respect to: acceleration; .per-
formance; initial consumer cost; fuel economy;.
and maintenance and repair costs. Through
proper design, a gas turbine en-
gine/transmission system can be mass-
produced at an estimated cost comparable to a
1970 spark ignition (SI) system. The optimum
gas turbine (GT) system has a lower computed
average fuel consumption than the 1970 SI
system and GT system vehicle acceleration
response would equal or exceed the SI system.
This study is a limiting case since the engine cy-
cles were not penalized for low-emission com-
bustor designs, because the penalty, if any, has
not yet been quantitatively determined. Federal
driving cycle emissions were computed for the
three candidate systems using data from exist-
ing AiResearch engines and analytical
techniques. It was found that all of the engines
met the CO and UHC requirements with margin,
but that none of these conventional com-
bustors met the NOx requirement. Schematics
of the systems are presented. The design point
characteristics are tabulated. Tables are also
presented and discussed of acceleration per-
formance, fuel economy, and costs to the
manufacturer and consumer, and of repair and
maintenance, and ownership cost. Other
figures of the recommended engine system, a
mock-up of the engine-transmission system,
the demonstration program logic chart,
schedule, and milestones are also discussed.

wastewater treatment plants. The objective of
the planning activities is the development of
conceptual and applied tools for direct use by
plant personnel in optimizing the cost-effec-
tiveness of their plant, complementing the
design engineering of the physical plant. The
guide is divided into five major steps,
representing a proceduralized methodology for
developing operational planning materials. The
contents and sequencing of these steps are
designed to rationally combine operational
planning and design engineering. Heavy
emphasis is placed on general methods and
principles which can be applied to a wide
variety of specific treatment plant designs and
situations. Appendixes provide a detailed clas-
sification and description of planning materials
deemed essential to plant functions of manage-
ment, operations, and maintenance. Job

treatment function. Preliminary testing was per-
formed at three different flow rates and with dif-

full-scale testing. In the final, full-scale test
phase, a flow rate equivalent to 0.5 MGD was
used, and alum was injected as required to
produce satisfactory turbidity levels in filter ef-
fluent. The operation was monitored constantly
for flow rate, inlet pressure, water temperature
and alum input; influent and effluent values for
turbidity, suspended solids, BOD, COD, total
phosphate, orthophosphate and pH were deter-
mined. Filter performance was inconsistent and
generally unpredictable. Alum as a coagulant
was effective as an aid in contaminant reduc-
tion. Polyelectrolytes used as coagulant aids to
the alum proved ineffective in developing floe
strength and extending the cycle duration.

A mathematical model which predicts and con-

blowdown is developed and analyzed. The
model has eight variations to allow for (a) the
fraction of the recirculating water chlorinated,
(b) the type of chlorine feed equipment used.
and (c) the time length of the chlorine feed
period. The variations to the model are useful
not only in predicting residual chlorine levels in
the blowdown, but also in making alterations in
existing Chlorination programs which minimize
chlorine waste, provide more disinfecting effi-
ciency, and reduce residual chlorine levels in
the blowdown. (Modified author abstract)

equipment: affect upon groundwater; laborato-
ry decomposition studies and salmonella; and
effect on soil water and the soil. Poultry manure
was used as the organic waste, and there was
no indication of groundwater pollution by fecal
coliform. The upper limit of poultry manure
disposal appeared to be less than 15 tons per
acre of dry material because of nutrient con-
tamination in the soil water. The PFC technique
utilized the soil media for degradation and the
eventual utilization and recycling of organic
wastes by plants.

In an attempt to study phosphorus uptake by

apparatus was constructed. Correlations were
attempted between mineral composition of the
feed solutions and the phosphorus and
nitrogen content of the resulting slimes grown
on the discs. An inclined channel apparatus
was also constructed and evaluated to dif-
ferentiate physical or chemical mechanisms
from biological mechanisms of phosphorus up-
take. The angle of inclination was used to mea-
sure the kinetic rates before and after inactiva-
tion of the biological slime with ultraviolet light.
With the disc apparatus, limited success of in-
ducing biological uptake of phosphorus was
obtained. Results from- the inclined plane
growth chamber showed that the limited
phosphorus uptake that did occur could be re-
lated to metabolic activity rather than physical
sorption or chemical precipitation.

A preliminary analysis was undertaken to
prepare a control technology development plan
for air pollution problems facing industry. A
literature search was completed (with 144
references) to estimate toxicity levels of 18 pol-
lutants, and the magnitude of emissions from
industrial emitter types or classes of emitting
processes. A review of control methods or-
ganized by pollutants as well as industry, offen-
sive trades (animal processing), food industry
(brewery and cannery), chemical industry (paint
and rubber), metal industry (foundry and metal
coating), other (paper textile, cement, etc.) is
included. Minimum controls were often re-
ported where sites were remote to populated
areas. Emission hazard data is presented in 14
tables and appendices. Flow charts indicate
emission allocations in major areas of
processing. Identification and emission points
are shown for principal emitting processes. The
survey recommends that new R and D should
focus on control of non-ferrous emitters, heat
and energy generating sources, open mining
milling and materials handling as well as
several lesser industrial sources, particularly
those emitting large amounts of fine paniculate
material, (less than 2 micron diameter parti-
cles). (Modified author abstract)

The purpose was to investigate the feasibility of
absorption of equimolar concentrations of NOx
into MgO slurry on a 1500 cfm wet scrubbing
pilot plant. A wet scrubbing pilot plant consist-
ing of several scrubbers was modified by the in-
clusion of an additional scrubber to enable se-
ries scrubbing of fly ash, sulfur dioxide, and
finally nitrogen oxides. Gaseous nitrogen diox-
ide was injected into the flue gas following the
SO2 scrubber but before the NOx scrubber.
Seventeen tests were performed to evaluate
parameters including the liquid-to-gas ratio,
the ratio of NO2 to NO, slurry concentration,
stoichiometry, and gas flow rate. NOx absorp-
tion was very poor for all conditions tested. The
results are obscured by large variance in the
NOx measuring techniques. SO2 absorption in
the NOx scrubber was dependent upon the
liquid-to-gas ratio and varied from 86% to
98.3%. Deposition on the underside of the first
tray of the SO2 scrubber was observed. NOx ab-
sorption with equimolar concentrations of NO
and NO2 into MgO slurry is not feasible in the
apparatus tested. It is probably unfeasible in
any practical gas-slurry contacting apparatus.
NOx absorption into soluble alkalis may be
feasible and would best be done in packed
towers. (Modified author abstract)

The aim of the research was the preparation of
a model odor control ordinance that could be
adopted and applied effectively by enforcement
authorities throughout the United States. To
meet this objective the following tasks were un-
dertaken: Preparation of a tentative form of a
model ordinance; Selection of four air pollution
control agencies to evaluate the procedures
developed in the second phase of research
along with the model ordinance; Instruction of
employees of the selected agencies in the
proper use of the procedures in relation to the
model ordinance; Guidance of selected agen-
cies' project related field activities; and Refine-
ment of the procedures and the model or-
dinance for submission to the Environmental
Protection Agency. It is concluded that a model
ordinance cannot be drafted that is compatible
with the legalistic approach to controlling air
pollution preferred by every jurisdiction. Thus,
emphasis in the development of the recom-
mended form of the model ordinance was given
to a conceptual framework that would promote
the most efficient solutions to community odor
problems given the existing state of knowledge.

The purpose of this study was to develop a
biological system for conversion of natural cel-
lulosic wastes to products that can be utilized
as nutrients by animals. Efforts toward develop-
ment of a fermenter for the growth of an
anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria on cellulosic
materials were not successful because the yield
of bacterial cells and other products was too
low. However, a repression mechanism was
demonstrated on the synthesis of cellulose that
prevents accumulation of sugar from the
hydrolysis of cellulose. The strictly anaerobic
bacteria Ruminococcus albus was successfully
grown on petri plates. Trichoderma vtride cul-
tures also were used in laboratory experiments
for degradation of cellulose.

under conditions similar to those encountered
in municipal incinerators. Detailed concentra-

These results were used to evaluate both the
rate controlling processes and control strate-

to burning rates and overfire gas compositions
that were constant over most of a run. From the
oxygen concentrations in the bed, it is con-
cluded that low underfire air rates are desirable
early and late in a burn, and that for a fully ig-
nited bed the maximum air rate is determined
more by consideration of ash carryover and
channelling than by the bed's ability to con-
sume the oxygen. (Modified author abstract)

Strategy.
This project had three purposes: (a) survey
public attitudes toward a proposed system of
national disposal sites (NDS). (b) develop a
behavioral model as a means of predicting
citizens' reactions to an NDS in a particular lo-
cation, and (c) propose an effective public in-
formation compaign. The national survey, sam-
pling randomly and purposefully selected
respondents (key influential), was conducted
in 10 counties that were selected as feasible
NDS locations. The questionnaire elicited infor-
mation about three classes of variables con-
sidered predictive of citizen reaction to an NDS.
These variables, (a) contextural variables
(physical/economic environment), (b) situa-
tional variables (Social environment), and (c)
individual variables (personal attitudes/beliefs),
constituted the basic structure of the
behavioral model. A generalized public infor-
mation program designed to create public ac-
ceptance of NDSs is outlined. (Modified author

The report describes three separate projects
which relate to the study of the characteristics
of automobile exhaust emissions. Part I studied
the association of automotive fuel composition
with exhaust reactivity. This involved experi-
mental tests with different automotive engines
and with gasolines of varied composition. Fuel
composition was determined by gas chro-
matography. Exhaust reactivity was both esti-
mated from detailed composition data and
determined directly using a smog chamber.
Part II, Toxic Products from Fuel Additives, stu-
died procedures for the determination of any
toxic gaseous products resulting from ther-
mochemical reactions of fuel additives in the
combustion process. The exhaust analyses in-
cluded determination of: hydrocarbon, ox-
ygenates, and the additive and its direct com-
bustion products. Part III, Diesel Odor, studied
the following problems: development of an
odorant dilution and presentation system suita-
ble for use with isolated exhaust components
and synthetic odorants, establishing methods
for demonstrating the reactivity and stability of
diesel exhaust odorants. and isolation and col-
lection of unstable components.

hydrocarbon is thermally decomposed and
then reformed to a synthesis gas in the
presence of high-temperature steam. Although

The efficacy of combining biological nitrifica-
tion with each of two modes of chemical clarifi-
cation is evaluated for production of a water
suitable for specific industrial reuse applica-
tions. A 7200 gpd pilot plant was constructed,
operated and analyzed. In the conventional
clarification system, low doses of lime or alum
were effective in removing greater than 95% of
the BOD, turbidity, and suspended solids from
the nitrified secondary effluent. Efficient
phosphorus removals necessitated higher lime
and alum additions of 300 mg/liter, and' 100-150
mg/liter, respectively. At the higher line doses,
a two-fold reduction in bacterial organisms was
achieved. Specific heavy metals were removed
through both alum and lime additions. With
either coagulant chemical, practical rapid sand
filter runs of 16 hours were possible. Similar
removal results were obtained with alum in a
high-rate clarification flow system with direct
duel-media filtration of alum flocculated waste-
water. Filter runs of 5-6 hours could be realized.

Several melting and casting techniques that
have been successfully used for purifying
refractory metals were evaluated as methods of
upgrading automotive scrap steel. These
methods included (1) nonconsumable elec-
trode arc melting, (2) electron beam melting, (3)
vacuum arc melting, (4) vacuum induction melt-
ing, and (5) electroslag remelting. The removal
of copper, chromium, and tin from the scrap
was of primary interest because these impurity
elements are not removed during the steelmak-
ing process but are known to adversely affect
the mechanical properties of steel. The op-
timum conditions for impurity removal by the
melting techniques were determined using
simulated auto scrap in small-scale melting ex-
periments. Once these conditions were
established, they were used to melt actual auto
scrap obtained from a commercial source.
Evaluation of the processed material was made
by chemical analysis, metallographic examina-
tion, and mechanical property measurements.

The report consists of data from a series of
human exposures to carbon monoxide which
were analyzed to determine the fit to the
theoretical Coburn, Forster. Kane (CFK) equa-
tion as a function of experiment duration and
CO concentration, exercise level, and sex. The
equation was found to predict carbox-
yhemoglobin (COHb) levels for both men and
women at exercise rates ranging from sedenta-
ry to 300 kp-m/min when they were exposed to
steady CO concentrations of 50, 100, and 200
ppm for 0.33 to 5.25 hours. In addition, the
equation accurately summed the results of a
discontinuous exposure to CO. Methods for
determining values of each of the variables in
the CFK equation were collected and a rational,
efficient procedure for solving the equation was
then used to prepare a graph relating COHb
saturation to exposure duration and concentra-
tion, and also to describe the effect of several
variables on the rate of CO uptake and equilibri-
um COHb levels. Portions of this document are

CaCO3-H2O systems. It generates equations
relating total pressure, liquid velocity. SO2 con-
centration in the liquid. It solves these equa-
tions numerically for performance profiles,
used to examine the effects of such operating
variables as liquid flow rate and the concentra-
tion of alkali in the liquid phase on the absorp-
tion rate. It analyzes data from various size
holding tanks and proposes mathematical
models for the lime/limestone slurry process
holding tanks. Finally, it combines these
models to simulate the venturi/holding-tank
system with closed-loop recycling of the liquor.
It examines the sensitivities of such operating
variables as the recycling liquor rate and the al-
kali makeup rate on the absorption. It qualita-
tively discusses such practical problems as ox-
idation of sulfite to sulfate and scaling of the
solids. (Modified author abstract)

The report describes a brief test series that
demonstrates that both Drierite and molecular
sieve sorbents can cause incorrect NO results if
SO2 is present. It was noted that the standard
analytical system used for measuring NO emis-
sions gave incorrect NO emmissions in the
presence of SO2. The problem was traced to
the dry sorbents used to remove water vapor
prior to the NO analysis. Further testing
revealed that the materials can simultaneously
remove both NO and SO2, even in low concen-
trations. Although more work is needed to
define the actual fate of these species, it ap-
pears that this might offer a possible NOx/SOx
control technique since the data indicate that
the sorbent effect is thermally regenerable.

The effect of emission control devices on the
particulate emissions of an automotive power
plant was investigated. The work was divided
into five tasks as follows: TASK I was the
characterization of a particulate trapping
system, and the determination of what effects, if
any, were noted as conditions within the system
were controllably varied; TASK II was the defini-
tion of a particulate baseline for a 1972 400 CID
engine, using non-leaded and low lead fuel—ho
emission control devices were used for the
baseline runs; TASK III was the evaluation of the
particulate emission from a 1972 400 CID en-
gine equipped with the following control
devices—three different oxidation catalysts one
NOx catalyst, and one exhaust gas recirculation
system; TASK IV involved testing automobiles
equipped with control devices for particulate
emissions—these vehicles were supplied by
both the contractor and the Government; .and
TASK V was to define a preliminary collection
system for diesel engine particulate sampling.
In all tasks, particulate mass emission rates
were measured, as well as particle mass size
distribution, carbon and hydrogen, tract metal,
and benzo-a-pyrene content of the particulate.
Ammonia and aldehydes were measured in the
exhaust gas condensate, and gaseous emis-
sions were determined as a routine check on
engine operating conditions. (Modified author

ry tests indicate that emissions from the com-
bustor operating on No. 6 oil, are consistent
with emissions from field-tested package

used to screen many different applications of
combustion modification techniques for con-
trolling pollutant emissions. Phase three will in-
clude long-term testing of the optimum con-
figurations.

A study was made of the technical and
economic aspects of the emissions and control
of air pollutants in the primary aluminum indus-
try. The cost and performance data base for the
study included detailed information supplied by
the domestic producers, typical performance
data obtained from equipment suppliers, and
published information from the technical litera-
ture. Engineering analysis of the data resulted
in systems evaluation of current industry con-
trol in terms of present costs and performance.
Systems analysis was applied t6 growth projec-
tions at various control levels to estimate future
costs and emissions. Recommendations were
made covering the direction of research and
development efforts towards improvement in
pollution abatement by the industry. (Modified

The report gives results of a study of the oxida-
tion of S02 over a commercial vanadium pen-
toxide catalyst, using an all-glass, essentially
gradientless reactor at 470-480C and at con-
centrations up to several percent of S02. A
theoretical development was derived for the
use of isotopic tracers to study the kinetics and
mechanism of complex catalytic reactions.
Relationships developed on the basis of steady
state conditions are combined with principles
of thermodynamics and transition state theory.
Data were obtained using radioactive sulfur 35
and the stable isotope oxygen 18 as tracers.
The employment of two tracers simultaneously
and the employment of more than one level of
marking while still maintaining a fixed overall
reaction velocity were often advantageous. Ox-
ygen Chemisorption was found to be the most
important mechanistic step in SO2 oxidation.
However, as equilibrium is approached,
desorption of SOS also assumes considerable
importance. These findings led to the formula-
tion of an improved rate equation, especially
accurate near equilibrium for SO2 conversion.
The use of sulfur 35 in developing improved
catalysts is also suggested.

Mass emission tests were run on a number of
gasoline powered trucks above 6,000-lb GVW
during road driving and chassis dynamometer
operation. A constant volume sampler was used
to obtain samples during operation on a 7.24
mile course in San Antonio and during the en-
tire 20 minute nine-mode FTP. The agreement
between the road and dynamometer results, in
terms of grams of emission per pound of fuel,
was used to determine what road emissions
would be from a larger, 145 vehicle, fleet that
was subjected to similar CVS nine-mode FTP
tests in the laboratory. Consideration of the end
use of the data was made with preliminary ex-
pressions developed for possible use in deter-
mining the contribution of gasoline HDVs to air
pollution. Data was provided to assist in better
estimating national impact from this source. A
group of 25 trucks representing a variety of
makes, displacements and gross vehicle
weights were studied and extensive road and
dynamometer hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide
and oxides of nitrogen emission data are in-
cluded. Also included are percent of time at
various increments of engine speed and

for gas turbines. However, comprehensive ex-

required for a meaningful assessment. Catalytic
combustion is not considered feasible for exist-
ing steam boilers, but might apply to newly
designed units. Sintered metal porous-plate

Integral photosynthetic rates and growth rates
of phytoplankton were measured before, dur-

which occurred in August 1970. The size of the
population increased during the bloom despite
decreasing specific production rates, probably
because the dominant algal became more
buoyant and decreased its sinking rate. The ef-
fects of changing the specific production rates
and specific loss rates are demonstrated by
comparing the integral photosynthetic rates
and chlorophyll concentrations that would
prevail under steady state conditions.

Microbial nitrate and nitrite volatilization was
considered as a means to eliminate nitrogen
from soil and water in order to inhibit the accu-
mulation of nitrogenous substances as pollu-
tants or health hazardous compounds. There-
fore it was attempted to compare nitrate reduc-
ing microorganisms in their reactions to dif-
ferent environmental conditions in laboratory
experiments. Changing oxygen concentration,
pH, temperature, nitrate or nitrite concentration
affected differently the denitrification process
of various isolated microorganisms. Biological
and chemical factors were evaluated during
nitrite transformation in autoclaved and non-
autoclaved soil by determination of the evolve-
ment of nitrogenous gases. During chemical
nitrite volatilization, which occurred essentially
at a low pH, the major gases evolved were nitric
oxide and nitrogen dioxide, but if biological ac-
tivity was predominant in a neutral and alkaline
environment, nitrous oxide and molecular
nitrogen were formed. The validity of laboratory
observations in relation to field studies in the
domain of denitrification is discussed and eval-
uated. (Modified author abstract)

The report examines various strategies for
reducing national energy demand. Suppose
government chooses to reduce national energy
use, and to do so in a cost-effective way. Then it
is necessary to find out, for each potential ener-
gy saving, how much energy is involved and
how costly the alternatives would be. The study
begins by asking how much is now paid, or
might be paid in the future, by various energy
users. It emerges from the study that many
users get much of their energy at relatively low
prices, and are thus encouraged to waste it; the
economist calls this price distortion, a form of
market failure. The study analyzes the kinds of
market failure which seem to cause the present
energy crisis, the kinds of government action
which could rectify these failures, and the likely
response of the economy to moderate price in-
creases. Numerous actions, some large and
some small, would be required to restore a
more efficient functioning of the market for
energy. Some of these actions have already
been initiated. In an efficient market, energy
price increases of 25% would prompt a halving
of the growth of energy demand; through 1990,
energy needs would grow 40% rather than the
100% projected at current prices. (Author)

A municipal wastewater was treated in a
nominal 100 gpm pilot plant by chemical
coagulation-precipitation, powdered activated
carbon adsorption and granular media filtra-
tion. Spent carbon was gravity thickened,
vacuum filter dewatered and thermally
regenerated in a fluidized bed furnace. Solids-
contact units were used for chemical treatment
and carbon contacting. Ferric chloride, alum or
lime were all found to effectively produce
coagulation and phosphorus insolubilization.
Based on total treatment costs, including
sludge disposal, alum treatment was estimated
to be the economic choice for Salt Lake City
municipal wastewater. Organic removal in the
powdered carbon contactors was substantially
enhanced by anaerobic biological activity. The
use of solids-contact treatment units for carbon
contacting resulted in effecting gravity clarifi-
cation without the use of chemicals. The pow-
dered carbon physical-chemical treatment
system produced a treated effluent similar to
that expected for biological treatment followed
by tertiary treatment for phosphorus removal.
Carbon losses of 17 to 60 percent were ex-
perienced across the fluidized bed furnace
regeneration system. The cause of high carbon
losses was identified as ignition of carbon in-
stead of gas which was injected into the
fluidized bed to scavenge excess oxygen.

Three pilot treatment sequences were operated
during this study to produce various grades of
effluent for subsequent testing as industrial
water sources. The testing was conducted in
pilot-sized test loops consisting of small cool-
ing towers and heat exchangers. At the same
time the renovated waters were tested, Contra
Costa Canal water, which is presently used by
industry in the study area, was also investigated
in a test-loop identical to those used for the
renovated water. The study results illustrated
that the wastewater investigated can be treated
satisfactorily for reuse in industrial applica-
tions. Corrosion rates and fouling factors ob-
served with renovated water were equal to or
less than found with the canal water. Precipita-
tion of phosphorous was the major source of
scale formation while using renovated water for
cooling purposes, thus indicating the need for
phosphorous removal. (Modified author ab-

which were determined to have the greatest
water pollution potential (As. Cd, Cr. Cu, Fe, Pb,
Mn, Hg, Ni, Sr, Ti, Zn._and Zr) were analyzed in
each of about 75 samples collected nationwide
in 10 cities. Other analyses conducted in-
cluded: size affinities of the metals, solubilities
and toxicities of the road surface runoff mix-
ture, and certain organic analyses on selected
samples. Additional sampling was conducted
on rural road, highway and airport surfaces and
particulates were analyzed for the following
common water pollution parameters: BOD,
COD and nutrients, plus selected heavy metals,
for comparison with values representative of
normal city streets. (Modified author abstract)

The Chapel Hill high rate trickling filter plant
which consists of two parallel and equal lines of
treatment units was operated in parallel as two
separate plants over a period of 26 months.
Each side was operated with various fractions
of influent flow and recirculation flow rates.
Statistical analysis of operating results in-
dicated that the common mathematical models
are not reliable in predicting daily performance
at the Chapel Hill plant. They are, however, use-
ful in predicting long term average per-
formance. Recirculation ratios as high as 3.0
proved beneficial at total hydraulic loadings of
less than 20 mgad. The hydraulic surface load-
ing of the final settling tanks was found to have
a significant effect on overall plant per-
formance. Pilot plant studies using four-foot
diameter rock filters indicate a significant ad-
vantage for two-stage filtration even through
the hydraulic loading on each stage may be
double that for single-stage operation. Pilot
plant studies of activated sludge treatment of
trickling filter effluents were conducted. The
process proved effective in improving removal
of BOD, if effective final solids removal facilities
are provided. The process also proved effective
in reducing nitrogenous oxygen demand.

The feasibility of oil pollution source identifica-
tion is demonstrated on eighty crude oils from
the world's major oil fields. Measurements of
fifteen diagnostic parameters were made on the
600-F fraction of the crude oil samples. Of the
fifteen parameters studied it was demonstrated
that six were sufficient to distinguish among
the crude oils. These parameters are carbon
and sulfur isotopic composition, sulfur,
nitrogen, vanadium and nickel contents. A
hydrocarbon gas chromatographic profile was
also diagnostic for identification but its useful-
ness was reduced for aged samples by the ef-
fect of weathering. The other parameters stu-
died were the saturate, aromatic and asphaltic
contents and the carbon isotopic composition
of each of these fractions, the n-paraffin dis-
tribution (odd-even predominance curves) and
the sulfur gas chromatographic profile. The in-
fluence of weathering on the parameters was
studied. A statistical procedure based on mul-
tivariate normal analysis was developed to
compare an unknown with a data library and to
give an unbiased match of the unknown with a
known based on the precision of the measure-
ment methods. (Author)

A 14-month pilot and plant scale sludge de-
watering study was conducted at the Joint
Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP).
Discharge requirements on the effluent from
this facility necessitated that at least 95% of the
suspended solids be removed from the primary
digested sludge for disposal by alternative
means. The applicability of heat, polymers,
chemicals and flyash was investigated as a
means of conditioning digested sludge for de-
watering. Sludge dewatering schemes using
horizontal scroll centrifuges, imperforate
basket centrifuges, vacuum filters and pressure
filter were thoroughly studied. Operational
results were obtained from twenty condition-
ing-dewatering test systems of which five suc-
cessfully produced the desired suspended
solids removal. Full scale cost estimates were
prepared for each of the five systems. Estimates
were prepared for the requirements and costs
associated with the ultimate disposal of de-
watered sludges generated from each success-
ful dewatering scheme. It was concluded that a
2-stage centrifuge sludge dewatering scheme
(polymer addition to the second stage) with
truck hauling of dewatered sludge solids to a
landfill was most suitable for the JWPCP.

The project demonstrated an interactive

teractive computer graphics as a method of

faced: Michigan's Water Information System for
Enforcement (WISE) and EPA's STORET
system. The WISE system is used to alert en-
forcement personnel to problems through ex-
ception reporting, and to provide follow-up in-
formation on these problems. STORET is used
as a storage and retrieval system for water
quality and inventory information. As informa-
tion enters WISE, certain inputs are coded for
storage in STORET. The interface mechanism is
a common numbering system. Because WISE is
modular in design, it can be used in part or in
total by other agencies. The demonstration in-
dicated that careful consideration should be
given to the information that will comprise the

Bivaled mollusks of the superfamily Unionacea
(Order Schizodonta) are represented in North
America by three families, 46 genera, and, as
treated in this key, 221 species. The primitive
Margaritiferidae are represented by two genera
and four species, the Amblemidae by eight
genera and 25 species, and the very large family
Unionidae by 36 genera and 192 species. Syste-
matics are not well worked out in many groups,
which makes a definitive listing of species
somewhat arbitrary at this time. The present key
in most instances reflects a conservative ap-
proach to the lower taxa and, although it omits
many nominal species of doubtful validity, the
key nevertheless represents most of the biolog-
ical species. Characters of soft anatomy are
used to separate the families, subfamilies and,
in a few cases, genera. Species are separated
by shell characters. The main feature of this
publication is an illustrated taxonomic key
using both soft anatomy and shell characters
for the identification of the North American
Unionacea.

0.5, 5, and 7 mg/l respectively. Aluminum
sulfate was more effective than ferric chloride.
Alum addition ahead of the final clarifier proved
the best arrangement. An optimum mole ratio
(metal/phosphorus) 1.6 developed:.this ratio
shows moles of aluminum fed per mole of in-
coming total phosphorus. Chemical costs, of
which one-third was for transportation, were 5
cents per 1,000 gallons of flow treated, or 36
cents per pound of phosphorus removed when
in the 96 percent reduction range. Chemical ad-
dition doubled the volume of digested sludge
but dewatering on sand beds took half as long
as previous conventional operations. During
this demonstration the treatment system
received some 1.6 mgd of typical domestic
discharge, essentially its design loading.
Hydraulic loading on clarifiers was minimized
by drastic reduction of recirculation flows.

An investigation of seasonal changes in species
diversity and biomass of phytoplankton.
zooplankton, benthos, and fish in Lake Wingra,
Madison, Wisconsin, was conducted during
1970 and 1971. The objective was to obtain
ecological data on the biological components
of an aquatic ecosystem and to utilize these
data along with concurrent chemical data to aid
the development of systems models of nutrient
and energy fluxes in lake drainage basins. In-
terpretations of the data reveal several impor-
tant considerations for models of lake systems
and future studies of Lake Wingra. Phytoplank-
ton associations, for example, appear to be
adaptive, self-organizing systems. Such
behavior suggests the possibility to apply op-
timization principles to phytoplankton models.
The data suggest, furthermore, that optimiza-
tion analysis can be based on size particle dis-
tributions of the phytoplankton, which, rather
than species, appears to be the basis of
phytoplankton categories. Zooplankton and
benthos analyses, on the other hand, indicate
that energy and nutrient fluxes may be
adequately approximated by simulating only a
few species. (Modified author abstract)

affect their composition in trace elements. The

section on petroleum and shale oil includes

which export to this country. The number of
elements for which statistical data on composi-
tion and geographical location exist is entirely
different for crude oil and for coal. Good data
and useful correlations with source locations
are available for petroleum, for sulfur, nitrogen
and nickel/vanadium, but not for other poten-
tial pollutants. A large body of data is available
for trace elements in coal, and is examined
herein. For both coal and petroleum, however.
the level of trace elements present is relatively
low sot that methods of sample selection and
sample handling, prior to analysis, can and do
present major complications in the interpreta-
tion of results.

The purpose of this project was to assess the
feasibility of in-stack monitoring of an air-
suspended paniculate stream by fluorescence
or Raman optical interactions. The study ex-
plored the feasibility of two approaches: quan-
titatively monitoring a prescribed constituent,
and monitoring the relative concentrations of
several constituents simultaneously. The
method of approach was to assess the magin-
tude of the Raman and fluorescence interac-
tion, and then calculate the detectability of that
material for a typical in-stack system. A few
crude experiments were made to detect the
fluorescent response of a paniculate material
suspended in a liquid. It is concluded that both
fluorescence and Raman in-stack monitoring
systems can yield useful information about the
quantity and composition of a paniculate
stream. Recommendations are made for addi-
tional efforts toward achieving an operational
in-stack monitoring system. (Modified author

The report describes the formulation and initial
verification of two model.ing frameworks. The
first is directed toward an analysis of the impact
of the carbonaceous and nitrogenous com-
ponents and wastewater on the dissolved ox-
ygen resources of a natural water system. The
second modeling framework concentrates on
the interactions between the discharge of
nutrient, both nitrogen and phosphorus, and
the biomass of the phytoplankton and
zooplankton populations which result, as well
as incorporating the overall impact on dis-
solved oxygen. The models are formulated in
terms of coupled differential equations which
incorporate both the effect of transport due to
tidal motion and turbulence, and the kinetics
which describe the biological and chemical
transformation that can occur. The modeling
frameworks are applied to the Delaware and
Potomac estuaries in order to estimate the
ability of such models to describe the water
quality effects of carbon, nitrogen, and
phosphorous discharges. The agreement
achieved between observation and calculation
indicate that the major features of the impact of
wastewater components on eutrophication
phenomena can be successfully analyzed
within the context of the models presented
herein. (Author)

sampler, existing as a manually operated
bench-scale prototype, is capable not only of
fractionating the particles in the desired range,
but also of tolerating the process stream en-
vironment. A preliminary evaluation indicated
not only that existing hardware did not meet all
requirements, but that automatic sampling was
more cost effective (despite higher initial costs)
than manual sampling, by at least 16 percent.
However, program economics resulted in the
decision to design a manually operated model.

The bio-disc wastewater treatment process was
evaluated during operation for one summer at a
recreational camp. The bio-disc section con-
sisted of four stages, each of 22 polystyrene
discs 1.98 m (6.5 ft) in diameter, and was
preceded by a septic tank that served to handle
both the primary and the biological sludge
produced. Evaluation of the plant included time
required for st,art-up, organic removal efficien-
cy, response to flow variations, nutrient
removals, aesthetic impact, and required main-
tenance and operation attention. Overall or-
ganic removals reached essentially full efficien-
cy by the end of the first week of operation.
However, removals across the bio-disc section
continued to increase somewhat till about the
fifth or sixth week of operation. (Modified

Thirty-five combustor configurations were
tested to determine emissions characteristics.
Chemical kinetics of emissions formation are
discussed. A design technique that achieved
significant NOx reductions in a gas turbine
combustor was demonstrated. This technique
involved the application of recuperator (or
regenerator) bypass air directly into the com-
bustor primary zone. The vaporizer combustor
resulted in the most significant improvement by
the use of bypass flow. The optimum low emis-
sions engine would use an engine cycle and
variable bypass flow that have been matched to
provide the best balance between fuel economy
and related emissions. Variable recuperator
bypass is a simple and convenient alternative to
variable combustor geometry. The required
control system is simpler and has the potential
of: lower cost; higher reliability; and better
maintainability. Portions of this document are

A flame spectrometer for phosphorus analysis
was evaluated. Response to phosphorus in the
form of H3P04 was linear from 3 micro-
grams/liter, the detection limit, to 120 mg/liter,
the highest concentration tested. Metal ions
depress phosphorus emission and must be
removed by cation exchange prior to analysis.
High concentrations (=or :mg/liter) of sulfur
interfere positively. Volatile phosphorus com-
pounds produce a larger signal for a given
phosphorus concentration than nonvolatile
compounds. River water samples were spiked
with inorganic and organic phosphorus and
analyzed. The measured phosphorus concen-
trations were 10-25% lower in river water than
in deionized water. (Modified author abstract)

Laboratory studies were designed to define the
role of protozoa in the fate of particulate
(bacterial) organic carbon. Specific objectives
were to measure the effects of selected en-
vironmental parameters on protozoan growth
rates, to measure organic carbon in bacteria
and protozoa, and to quantitate carbon trans-
formation in predator-prey experimental
systems. T. Tetrahymena pyriformis altered the
amount and form of carbon in the system while
growing on bacteria. Of the total organic car-
bon present at the initiation of the predator-
prey experiment (93 mg), 93% was in the bac-
terial fraction. Within 96 hours. 38% of the car-
bon was released as CO2; 5% was present as in-
organic carbon in the water and the remainder
(57%) was present as organic carbon. The or-
ganic carbon in the bacterial fraction
decreased from 86 to 2 mg within 96 hours,
while the carbon in the protozoan biomass in-
creased from 1 to 40 mg. In the bacterial con-
trol, 11% of the organic carbon was released as
CO2 within 96 hours while negligible amounts
of inorganic carbon remained in the water.

This report defines and evaluates on technical,
economic, risk, and legal grounds the various
alternatives for managing hazardous wastes.
The basic alternative approaches that were
considered included: (1) on-site processing; (2)
off-site processing; and, (3) on-site pre-treat-
ment with off-site treatment and disposal. The
major emphasis of the study, therefore, was
devoted to assessing differences among these
alternative approaches in: the economics as-
sociated with waste treatment; the immediate
risk to human safety, as well as the eventual
hazard to the environment and, the legal and in-
stitutional issues that would have an impact on
a national treatment system. The major and sig-
nificant conclusion of this report is that on
economic grounds alone, off-site treatment
facilities will be preferred by a majority of
producers of industrial hazardous wastes, with
the possible exception of those who handle ex-
plosives and dilute aqueous wastes. Although
the shape and form of the processing system
may vary, because of individual differences, this
conclusion will be true for all regions of the
United States.

these versions have dealt with real day-to-day
problems in collecting and disposing of solid
waste. It has explored the financial opportuni-

By 1966. disposing of solid wastes in the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia had become a critical
problem. At the same time the number of re-
sidents and tourists was increasing each year,
thus requiring that more solid waste be
disposed of, land values were also rising. This
latter factor dictated against using land suitable
for residential, commercial, or recreational pur-
poses for solid waste disposal. In addition, the
presence of high water table (5-8 ft) makes
deep pit excavation impractical. The concept
was advanced that an existing dump located on
relatively inexpensive land be converted into a
recreational site by building a 65-foot hill of
solid waste. Provision would be made for a
10.000-seat amphitheater, a soap box derby
ramp, a fresh-water lake, and parking facilities.
Details are presented on design and construc-
tion techniques, operating procedures, equip-
ment used, problems encountered, water and
gas sampling methods, economic factors, and

that demand upon those industries. The de-
mand and impact analyses are performed under
assumptions of three alternative futures for the
1972-80 period. A Baseline scenario extrapo-
lates pollution abatement activity from a base
year predating major environmental legislation.

industrial wastewaters. Selected sites were
visited and extensive literature reviews were
made. Information and data were gathered on
the many factors involved in system design and
operation for the three major land application
approaches: irrigation, overland flow, and infil-
tration-percolation. In addition, evaluations
were made of environmental effects, public

dling waste from the terminal and shipping
operations before collection by the city; (3)
handling demolition waste generated by the
removal of old piers and related structures.
Considerable emphasis was placed on evaluat-

The report gives results of sampling and studies
of 37 operating and other pits in fresh-water
marl in northeastern U.S., and 24 deposits of
chalk in chalky limestone, four deposits of shell
and coquina, two deposits of caliche, and a
large carbonate sludge refuse pile, all in the
eastern U.S. The studies related to their poten-
tial use in limestone processes for SO2 emis-
sion control from fossil fuel combustion. Each
sample and its calcined product were in-
vestigated for petrography, mineralogy,
chemistry, pore structure, and surface area. It
was indicated that marls and their calcones
should have high reactivities with SO2; because
of their ease of production and disaggregation.

-------
December 1976
marls should be given important consideration
for use in limestone scrubbing of flue gases at
power plants near marl deposits. Chalks and
some chalky limestones should also have
higher reactivities with SO2 gases than would
dense limestone. Carbonate shell materials
should not be crushed and used in SO2
scrubbing; however, their calcines are probably
as reactive as those of other carbonates. Car-
bonate waste sludge resembles marl in many
properties and Is potentially very reactive with
S02, especially in wet scrubbing processes.

Biological phosphate removal was investigated
in pilot and plant scale at Mansfield, Ohio, to
determine waste and sludge amenability and
the suitability of the activated sludge plant for a
full-scale research or demonstration project.
Pilot studies on the effect of MLSS, BOD,
phosphate, and hardness concentrations
showed only BOD exerted a significant change
in phosphate removal. The addition of iron or
aluminum salts effectively precipitated the
phosphate. Amenability was established follow-
ing sludge acclimatization when high levels of
phosphate were removed from the primary ef-
fluent supplemented with a BOD material. Plant
studies prior to and following manipulation of
the operating conditions did not reveal
phosphate removal. The plant is not suitable for
full-scale research or demonstration studies

Phosphate removal by activated sludge was in-
vestigated in pilot- and plant-scale research
conducted at the Cleveland, Ohio Easterly Pol-
lution Control Center. These studies showed
that the aeration tanks were averaging 25 per-
cent removal of the orthophosphate in the tank
influent. Pilot investigations were made to
determine the amenability of the waste and ac-
tivated sludge to phosphate removal. A slight
increase in removal was observed with increas-
ing MLSS or oxygen-demanding substrate con-
centration. Ferric iron or aluminum salt addi-
tion caused high orthophosphate removals.
Orthophosphate addition resulted in reduced
removal efficiency. After an acclimation period
of 18 to 42 hours, the sludge removed signifi-
cant quantities of orthophosphate. Excluding
the chemical addition studies, the maximum
removal efficiency was 67 percent. The waste
and sludge were concluded as only
'moderately' amenable to phosphate removal.

The report concerns a study to develop a pilot
field-test program to evaluate combustion
modification techniques to reduce NOx emis-
sions from tangentiaily coal-fired steam-
generating units. The report includes details of
the preliminary test program, including analyti-
cal measurement and sampling techniques, en-
gineering drawings, cost estimates, and
schedules. Overfire air is the least expensive
technique for controlling NOx, incurring no
loss in unit efficiency or increased operating
expenses. Flue gas recirculation is significantly
more costly, requires additional fan power, and
(in existing units) could result in a 10-20%
decrease in load capability due to increased
gas flow weights. Water injection into the fuel-
firing zone has the lowest initial equipment
cost; however, losses in unit efficiency
(resulting in increased fuel costs and signifi-
cant water consumption) make it the most ex-
pensive system to operate. The cost of applying
controls to existing units generally is twice that
of new units. (Modified author abstract)

prior scrubbing or extracting of the metals from
the air is necessary. Consequently, the time
necessary for analysis is a matter of minutes -
permitting real time analysis to be carried out
on small volume of air. The method was based
on atomic absorption spectroscopy and in-
volved the development of a highly efficient
atomizer. The sensitivity of the method was

A computer program has been written and ap-
plied to investigate the stochastic distribution
of equilibrium temperature as determined from
a standard meteorological data base. The
equilibrium temperature at an air-water inter-
face is the temperature which would be at-
tained by the surface if the net heat flow
through it were zero. Since it is a basic factor in
the prediction of actual water temperatures, the
distribution of equilibrium temperature, and
hence of water temperature, is an important
statistic. (Modified author abstract)

Kinetics in water of some chemical and

transformations in the environmental mercury
cycle were investigated. Decomposition of
dimethylmercury (DMM) and diphenylmercury
(DPM) by acids and mercuric salts was in-
vestigated. Theoretical evidence indicates that
loss of elemental mercury or DMM at the air-
water interface can be important in turbulent
systems. ' Dimethylmercury, methylmercuric
chloride, methylmercuric hydroxide, and
methylmercuric ion were not decomposed by
sunlight, but phenyl-mercury and sulfur-
bonded methylmercuric species were readily
decomposed to inorganic mercury. Detailed
equilibrium calculations indicate that the sul-
fur-bonded methylmercuric species are the
predominant species in natural waters. Quan-
tum yields for these reactions are presented
along with a technique for calculating sunlight
photolysis rates from laboratory data. The
chemical literature concerning the kinetics of
chemical and photochemical decomposition of

Results of a five-year laboratory research pro-
ject on various flow phenomena of importance
to transport and dispersion of pollutants in
hydrologic and coastal environments. The
results are useful in two general ways: first, to
facilitate the prediction of ambient water quality
from effluent characteristics in various water
environments:. and secondly, to provide the
basis for design of systems (like outfalls)
required to meet given ambient water quality
requirements. The results for buoyant jets may
be used for the design of waste-water outfalls in
oceans, reservoirs, lakes, and large estuaries.
For reservoirs which are density stratified, the
results include formulations for prediction of
selective withdrawal, and a simulation
procedure for predicting reservoir mixing by
systems which pump water from one level to
the other. For applications to rivers and estua-
ries, laboratory flume experiments were made
to measure transverse mixing of buoyant or
heavy tracer flows, as well as for neutral-density
flows. (Modified author abstract)

proper control of water quality is to be

decelerations; and second, stationary opera-
tion at idle with the vehicles grouped with
minimal interval between vehicles as if stopped
at a traffic light or in a traffic tie-up. Under
heavy traffic conditions, when the effect of in-
ducted exhaust gases in the passenger com-
partment is greatest, traffic conditions
generally result in a minimum of two cars

Act of 1970, as amended. In March, 1971, the
Office of Solid Waste Management Programs
(OSWMP) requested that the Town of Braintree
allow it to test the facility for this purpose. How-
ever, OSWMP was not able to conduct any tests
on the incinerator until July. 1972 because it
had not been formally accepted by the town
until September, 1971. By this time the National
Emission Standards had already been
established. Since the incinerator is a modern
plant equipped with high-efficiency air pollu-
tion control equipment, data obtained from the
tests can be used for possible substantiation of
the standards.

meteorologically equipped aircraft and mobile
units, radiosondes and pilot balloons, lidar, sur-
face temperature and dew point recording net-
work, radar and 35-mm photographs. Analysis
of the data revealed regions where convective
cloud activity was inhibited by the presence of
an elevated thermally stable layer, while simul-
taneously, other regions showed cumulus
development. Using a dimensional similitude
analysis of a fluidal model, it was found that the
atmospheric system may be capable of exhibit-
ing elevated warming via turbulent entrainment
of warm airdownward through the elevated sta-
ble layer. Aerosol heating was also considered
as a mechanism which may produce elevated

Since solid wastes disposal is a distasteful sub-

does not comprehend the difficult problems in-
volved in collection and disposal. Public infor-
mation programs are important because they
can reverse the trend, changing criticism to
public support. Positive images and impres-

most people are interested in conservation of
natural resources and community improvement
while they have little interest or sympathy with
the mundane procedure of collecting and

engineer when introduced to contemplated im-

People's opinions about the environment and
their attitudes toward the fight against pollution
are studied. The study attempts to answer
questions about the perception of the environ-
ment and its quality, the concern about pollu-
tion, the willingness to pay for a better environ-
ment and the attitudes toward enforcement.
Relationships between opinions, attitudes and
demographic factors are examined in a way
designed to gain a better understanding of the
complexities of public opinion and attitudes.
The data was gathered through 3,012 personal
interviews with a representative sample of
adults, 18 years of age and older, who reside in
the continental United States.

The extent of cycle-by-cycle combustion varia-
tions of a single cylinder spark ignition engine
were determined for specific characteristics of
the cylinder pressure development histories.
The extent of cycle-by-cycle gas velocity varia-
tions were determined in the vicinity of the
spark plug of the motored engine using a hot
film sensor. The results led to the conclusion
that cycle-by-cycle combustion variations are
caused by cycle-by-cycle variations of the gas
velocity in the vicinity of the spark plug at the
time of ignition. Additionally a quantitative
measure of the phasing of the combustion
process allows the effects of these velocity
variations on maximum cylinder pressure to be
evaluated for different engine variables.

Nitrogen oxides emitted from spark ignition en-
gines play a significant role in the production of
photochemical smog. A nitric oxide product
gas monitoring apparatus was developed which
related absorption of ultraviolet radiation at the
(0.0) gamma band of nitric oxide to the NO con-
centration in the combustion product gas a few
seconds after combustion was complete. It was
determined that the rate of expansion of the
product gas immediately after attainment of
peak pressure does not have a substantial ef-
fect on measured product gas concentration of
,NO. A time-resolved nitric oxide monitoring
technique, intended to monitor NO concentra-
tion during, and subsequent to the completion
of combustion was also devised. Limited
qualitative data were acquired. (Modified

Artificial heat sources cause the base of stable
air layers which are at ground level in rural re-
gions to become elevated over urban areas. An
intervening layer characterized by an adiabatic
lapse rate is formed. Within this layer pollutants
are trapped and mixed in the vertical. A model
is presented for the urban heat island which is
based upon the above premises and the first
law of thermodynamics. It is a modified version
of an advective model first advanced by Sum-
mers. The modification consists of the in-
troduction of two heat sinks which permit an

During late 1967 or early 1968. a small, 'head of
hollow* landfill operation was initiated on the
northwest side of Teligman Creek, an intermit-
tent stream in the Meramec Heights area of Jef-
ferson County, Missouri. In this operation, solid
waste of domestic and possible industrial origin
was placed in tributary 'hollows' of Teligman
Creek, compacted, and covered with soil.
Because of the great volume of solid waste
generated by our society, the operation grew
rapidly With increasing amounts of solid waste
placed in the site. During the latter part of 1968.
reports were received that a spring, known as
'Kohl Spring' had turned black" and the
discharge had killed fish living in a small pond
receiving the spring flow. Other springs,
notably Averback Spring, also had showed
signs of deterioration. The U.S. Attorney, on
Nov. 23,1971, requested the EPA to furnish in-
formation on the relationship of the landfill to
the observed degradation, for possible legal ac-
tion. This report provides information on the
subsequent investigation.

This study focuses on the changing awareness
and current practices in promoting environ-
mental quality through urban planning and
controls in local and metropolitan planning
agencies. It reviews the mainstream and cutting
edge practices and orientations of the 1960's.
The study then reviews the more promising and
innovative approaches in four sectors of
planning activity that are related to environ-
mental quality: land use and comprehensive
planning, planning and controls for the water
resources-land use interface; urban design and
controls; and residuals management (limited to
noise and air quality. Based on the review of
mainstream and cutting edge practices and at-
titudes, the summary chapter integrates recom-
mendations within a proposed guidance system
approach for local and metropolitan agencies.

The initial charge to the health program analy-
sis group—air pollution was to study all aspects
of the sources and control of air pollution. In
that charge, emphasis was to be placed on
determining the relative effectiveness of the
various pollution control techniques and upon
developing optimum control strategies. The
analytical approach developed in the course of
the study is a form of simulation, relying heavily
upon a computerized meteorological model to
translate pollutant emission data into ground-
level concentration predictions. With this
meteorological model, it is possible to simulate
the improvement in air quality resulting from
various combinations of control techniques.

The impact of water and air quality standards,
the tremendous quanities of sludges produced,
and the expenditure of physical and monetary
resources for conventional methods of waste-
water treatment have prompted a search for al-
ternative methods. One such alternative
method, which utilizes our land resources, is
known as Soils Treatment Systems(STS). While
not a new technology, its prior use has lacked
the in-depth evaluations required to assure that
STS's are truly environmentally acceptable. The
initial task for this ad-hoc subcommittee was to
identify what is known about liquid effluent and
sludge application to the land, and what
research is needed for successful utilization of
land as a soils treatment system from
economic, engineering, health, and esthetic
points of view. It was felt that the Nation's ex-
perts on STS should be contacted to accom-
plish the above task. This document presents
information gathered at the Research Needs
Workshop, sponsored by the ad-hoc subcom-
mittee on July 9-13, 1973, in Champaign. Il-
linois. It will provide a firm foundation from
which the ad-hoc subcommittee can work to
achieve its objective.

Descriptors: 'Ground water, 'Soils.
In the future, quality management of ground
waters will depend on better knowledge of
natural mixing phenomena in porous media.
The paper is a contribution to the basic
hydrodynamics of interfacial instability in
stratified flow in porous media. Although flows
in porous media generally involve extremely
low Reynolds numbers (the so-called Darcy
flows), the existence of several mechanisms
which could induce instability has been recog-
nized for many years. In particular, most of
these effects can appear in the instabilities as-
sociated with an interface between two fluids in
a porous medium (Soils).

For some time past it has been,observed that
piston engines of the spark ignition type display
wide variations in the combustion process as
indicated, e.g.. by the pressure development
from one cycle to another. These random varia-
tions occur although overall engine operating
conditions .are apparently kept-constant The
engine's mechanical (power output) and
chemical (exhaust gas emissions) performance
are the result of an averaging out of the in-
dividual cycles. One of the points in question is
the existence of a correlation between the ran-
dom variations of the combustion process and
the exhaust gas emission. A solution to the ex-
haust emission problem might then be at-
tempted by decreasing ,*he magnitude of the
variations. The report tries to establish the rela-
tionship to design a system capable of correlat-
ing certain parameters of the combustion
process.

County Indiana was selected for this project. An
investigation of the Black Creek Area identified
land treatment measures, which will signifi-

this watershed to the Maumee River. Monitor-

were a series of scientific studies to aid in the
understanding of the mechanisms involved in
the treatment of the watershed. A work

Four Detroit-area road routes were first
developed for trucks in four gross vehicle
weight (GVW) classifications. These routes
were selected to provide modes of operation
similar to those for trucks operating in the Los
Angeles metropolitan area. Chassis
dynamometer mode cycles were then
developed to simulate the observed operating
modes of the trucks when driven on the Detroit
road route. For use in the test program, ten
trucks in each weight group were selected as
being most representative of those on the road.

A hydraulic laboratory pilot project was run in
conjunction with mathematical modeling to
refine and demonstrate the swirl flow regula-
tor/solids-liquid separator. The device, of sim-
ple annular shape construction, requires no
moving parts. It provides a dual function, regu-
lating flow by a central circular weir while
simultaneously treating combined wastewater
by a 'swirl' action which imparts liquid-solids
separation. The low-flow concentrate is
diverted via a bottom orifice to the sanitary
sewerage system for subsequent treatment at
the municipal works, and the relatively clear
liquid overflows the weir into a central
downshaft and receives further treatment or is
discharged to the stream. (Modified author ab-

The health of over 4.5 million people in Georgia
is directly dependent upon the condition of
their drinking water. The effectiveness of the
Georgia Water Supply Program was judged
primarily on the bases of drinking water quality,
adequacy and condition of water system facili-
ties, and water supply surveillance found in a
field evaluation of actual supplies. The report
presents the findings of this study and docu-
ments widespread departures from acceptable
standards of waterworks practice in Georgia.

The subject of stream pollution has always
received considerable attention in the state of
Texas. The report on the Trinity River Sub-
Basin has been prepared as an aid in the con-
tinued development of the water pollution con-
trol program for protection of the waters of the
basin. It is a summary of information and data
that were available January 1952 on the uses to
which the water resources were put, the pollu-
tion reaching the watercourses and the
damages resulting from that pollution, the
benefits which may result from pollution
prevention measures in effect and those pollu-
tion prevention measures which were required.

The report reviews the pollution of the in-
terstate waters of the Snake River in the vicinity
of Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington.
Emphasis is placed on the causes of water pol-
lution and on the resulting interference with
legitimate water uses. The purpose of that sur-
vey was to develop information to advise the
Corps of Engineers on water quality changes
that can be expected when impoundments con-
structed downstream produce a ponded condi-
tion in the Lewiston-Clarkston area. The two-
fold objectives of the survey were to determine
present water quality conditions and to evalu-
ate the effect of impoundments on future water
quality.

The report gives results of a feasibility study of
flux force/condensation (FF/C) scrubbing for
fine particle (smaller than 2.0 micron diameter)
control. FF/C scrubbing includes effects of dif-
fusionphoresis, Stephan flow, thermophpresis,
and particle growth due to condensation of
water vapor;.it is not restricted to a specific
scrubber configuration. Experimental deter-
mination of sub-micron particle collection effi-
ciency in a bench-scale, sieve-plate FF/C
scrubber validated the mathematical model
developed in the analytical phase. Process
designs and cost estimates for applying FF/C
scrubbing to two fine particle pollution sources
demonstrated its technical and economic feasi-
bility. FF/C scrubbing is an attractive control
method for fine particles when high efficiency
is required and when the gas is hot enough to
evaporate the necessary water vapor. Further
development of FF/C scrubbing is clearly war-
ranted. (Modified author abstract)

Sugarbeet factory transport (flume) water
wastes were treated in pilot-sized anaerobic,
facultative and aerobic ponds to remove BOD.
Physical, chemical and mechanical data were
collected on the performance of each pond
which showed cause for abandoning the facul-
tative phase of treating. BOD removal in the
anaerobic pond was a linear function of the
BOD loading and up to a loading of 2,000
pounds of BOD per acre per day, 80% removal
was accomplished with the assistance of
mechanical aeration. The algae (aerobic), pond
was mixed by means of fours 12,000 gpm
propeller pumps. Some unseparated algae
pond effluent was recycled to the anaerobic
pond providing organic nitrogen, phosphorus
and 'seed' for the microbial transformations.
Additional nutrients were required for max-
imum performance. The system was effective in
converting soluble BOD to insoluble BOD. The
report contains 42 figures and 11 tables which
show potential commercial application of cer-
tain segments of the processes investigated.

The object of the study was to demonstrate the
feasibility of temporarily detaining storm and
combined sewage in natural underground for-
mations. Five sites were selected for subsurface
geological and geophysical investigation for
the purpose of determining which site pos-
sessed subsurface conditions most suitable for
storing and retrieving storm and combined
sewage. The geophysical work required six re-
sistivity soundings as well as resistivity survey
involving five traverses. Based on this work,
three sites were selected for test boring. A four-
inch test boring was made at each of these
three sites. Two of the sites were too shallow for
later demonstration of the technique. The third
site was selected for the demonstration.

The Climatological Dispersion Model (CDM)
determines long-term (seasonal or annual)
quasi-stable pollutant concentrations at any
ground-level receptor using average emission
rates from point and area sources and a joint
frequency distribution of wind direction, wind
speed, and stability for the same period. This
model differs from the Air Quality Display Model
(AQDM) primarily in the way in which concen-
trations are determined from area sources, the
use of Briggs' plume rise formula, and the use
of an assumed power law increase in wind
speed with height that depends on the stability.
The material presented in diredted toward the
engineer familiar with- computer techniques
and will enable him to perform calculations
with the CDM. Technical details of the com-
puter programming are discussed: complete
descriptions of input, output, and a test case
are given. Flow diagrams and a source program
listing are included. Campanion papers on the
technical details of the model and on validation
are included as appendices. (Author)

A project to demonstrate the feasibility and
safety of recycling water under operating con-
ditions was performed in the Hemet-San Jacin-
to Valley of the State of California. Since the
Valley is a closed basin, and is dependent in
part upon -imported water, it was felt that
recycling of the water would ultimately lead to a
reduction in the salt input and resultant
degradation of the existing underground reser-
voir. The project added considerable
knowledge and experience to the technology of
intermittent wastewater percolation and as-
sociated monitoring techniques. A novel fea-
ture of the project was the employment of
highly sensitive temperature probes to trace the
lateral migration of the recharged water, much
of which appears to be escaping as shallow un-
derflow to the San Jacinto River and hence not
reaching the deep groundwater table. (Modified

captive metal finishing facility. The treatment
system reduced the amount of chromium,
nickel, zinc, cooper and other heavy metals in
the waste to a level where substantial quantities
of water could be reused. The precipitation of
toxic metals in the chemical rinsing system
produced an easily settled dense sludge, which
was further compacted in simple outdoor

Diatomaceous Earth Filtration System employs
chemical precipitation prior to filtration. The
WWRS system produced an effluent suitable for
discharge into many streams. For effluent
recycling, a functioning demineralizer would be
required. The ALMI system increases effluent
alkalinity and hardness and render very
questionable the suitability of efluent reuse
without softening and pH adjustment. The in-

A study of the application of thermal techniques
to the measurement of flow rates in combined
sewers has been conducted. The utilization of
flush-mounted hot wire or hot film anemome-
ters in a direct reading mode was extensively
investigated. It was concluded that such a
direct reading application was not feasible due
to shifts in calibration caused by the build-up of
contamination and the lack of commercially
available units with sufficient ruggedness and
reliability for application in a combined sewer
pipe. A particular technique, which is based
upon measuring the time-of-flight of thermal
pulses generated at various positions around
the perinphery of the pipe, was investigated in
depth. A full scale prototype unit was fabricated
and tested. These tests indicated that the con-
figuration does not provide signals which have
precision to enable the measure of fluid flow
with the desired accuracy. (Author)

This report presents a survey of the literature
and other sources on present practices and ad-
vanced methods of handling and treatment of
pulp and paper mill effluents, with particular
emphasis on the kraft process, and the use of
activated carbon and lime treatment as ad-
vanced methods of treatment. The survey was
made as a first step of a development program
aimed at maximum water reuse in kraft pulp
and paper mills based on effluent treatment
using activated carbon. The results of the sur-
vey include information on activated carbon
and its applications in treatment of pulp and
paper mill effluents as well as in treatment of
municipal water supplies and effluents. Infor-
mation is presented on lime treatment of kraft
mill effluent and on other advanced treatment
methods. It also covers the subjects of in-plant
water reuse, effluent collection systems, solids

The report summarizes the air pollution
problem of the asphalt industry-hot-mix asphalt
plants and roofing manufacture—emphasizing
paniculate emissions. It outlines industrial
processes, types and sources of pollutant emis-
sions, and current and required controls. Par-
ticulates are the principal emission from the in-
dustry: sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, odors,
and hydrocarbons are emissions of minor im-
portance. Approximately 200,000 metric tons of
these pollutants (except for odor, per se) were
emitted in the U.S. in 1968, with substantial
control only for particulates. In spite of
developed controls, the industry still has air
pollution problems. Emitted pollutants con-
tribute to a dense and foggy fume and cause
most of the public's complaints. Particulates
can be controlled by wet or dry methods (or a
combination of the two), by fabric filters, or by
baghouses. Emissions of sulfur oxides,
nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons are not sig-
nificant qualitatively, but each contributes to
the odor and smog problems and should be
controlled. Control devices can be used on
asphalt plants. Electrostatic precipitators are
not usually considered because of their initial
cost and rather high volume. Control methods
are available for the principal pollutant, particu-
lates; . however, as in many other industries,
available controls are often not being installed.

Tile drainage systems of the San Joaquin Valley
were monitored for nutrients (nitrogen and

(1) the average nutrient concentrations in tile
drainage, (2) the magnitudes of annual, area!
and seasonal variability of nutrients and
discharges, (3) if a possible correlation exists
between nutrients and agricultural practices,
and (4) if existing soil conditions influence
nutrient concentrations and flows. From this in-

The Middle Atlantic Regional Office was
notified on Thursday, January 18, of an oil spill
of unknown origin on the Anacostia River near
the 11th Street Bridge in Washington, D.C., Oil
was found scattered in numerous small slicks
varying from 20 to 300 square feet in area, for a
distance of approximately 3,500 feet upstream.
Of immediate concern was the possible
damage to the paint of watercraft moored at the
marinas and the possibility of scattering the oil
along other shorelines or into the Potomac
River. It was decided to remove the oil. The
method selected was to use a boom to contain
the oil and straw to remove it from the water.
The source of the oil has not been identified at
this time.

density of live diatom cells on the slides
reached 15,000 per sq mm in approximately 30
days. The periphyton diatoms were dominated
by species of Nitzschia and Navicula, whereas
the plankton diatoms consisted largely of spe-
cies of Melosira and Cyclotella. Dry weights of
scrapings from slides exposed 14 days ranged
from 149.5 mg per slide (32.5 sq cm) in July
1965, to 2.7 mg per slide in December 1965.
Ash-free weights averaged 16.2% of the dry

The reverss osmosis process, which employs a

producing water low in inorganic and organic
substances from single solute aqueous
systems, multi-solute aqueous systems, and
secondary-treated sewage effluents. Com-
pounds when in an aqueous system haying sig-
nificantly higher vapor pressure than water may
appear in significant quantities in the reclaimed
water. This process can also serve as a means
of concentrating weak waste water to a point
where the waste water can be more economi-
cally treated. The permeation of 55 chemical
species singly in an aqueous solution and
dispersion, and/or in multi-component systems
were investigated. The degree of permeation of
radioactive nuclei and of some enteric microor-

This laboratory study was initiated with the pur-
pose of determining the aerobic and anaerobic
digestion characteristics of livestock wastes.
Hog, cow, and sheep manure were digested
anaerobically in bench-scale digesters. First
stage BOD and oxidation rate constants were
measured for these same wastes. A BOD and
COD correlation was determined for each waste
and the rate and degree of biodegradation of
hog wastes in aeration tanks was investigated.
The quantity of water required to treat the
wastes, either aerobically or anaerobically, is
considered in the final chapter, and it is shown
to be a practical problem from the standpoint of
the adequacy of many farm water supplies.

The aim of the research was to obtain basic
data on the aerobic metabolism of potassium
cyanide. Studies were conducted on activated
sludge cultures fed cyanide as their only source
of carbon and nitrogen at hour and one-half
hour intervals and continuously. It was shown
that these cultures could metabolize the cya-
nide converting the carbon to carbon dioxide
and the nitrogen to ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate.
Little growth was realized in these systems
although suspended solids could be main-
tained. Further studies showed that a cyanide
acclimated culture readily metabolized a cya-
nide-acetate feed with the acetate producing
considerable growth in the system.

by a team of Mechanical Engineering students
at the University of California at Berkeley. The
vehicle finished fourth in class and exhibited
exhaust emissions 50 percent below 1975

development time resulted in some problems
with the vehicle;, however, its overall per-

the automovite pollution problem. The results
of these studies are discussed.

A computer simulation program in conjunction
with an instrument systems analysis program
lead to the conclusion that microwave
radiometry working in concert with thermal in-
frared systems could detect petroleum product
pipeline leaks. The utilization of these systems
from an airborne platform would result in a low
falso alarm rate and a high probability of leak
detection. A demonstration experiment was
designed to test the simulation program. This
demonstration was carried out in west Texas
along three different pipeline sections with
eighteen individual leak circumstances. All
data, airborne and ground, was reduced, corre-
lated and analyzed to demonstrate remote sen-
sor capabilities. It was found that the apparent
microwave (13.7 GHz) temperature of a leak in-
creases significantly compared to surface
material containing no oil. Also, a soil contain-
ing oil caused a decrease in polarization con-
trast. Thermal infrared showed a warm area
surrounded by a cool halo. When these circum-
stances all occurred together a leak was
identified, proving the correctness of .the
original computer simulations. (Modified

The feasibility of using histochemical and
histopathological changes in brook trout,
longnose dace and fathead minnows as bioin-
dicators of acid pollution was investigated.
Laboratory studies entailed using a gravity flow
diluter system. Field studies involved using net
traps in polluted streams. Exposure durations
were 4-5 days and 28-30 days. Histochemical
and cytophotometric analyses were made of
gills, Stannius corpuscle, blood, spleen, kidney
and liver. The primary mode of acid toxicant ac-
tion is gill damage which results in impaired
respiratory, excretory and liver functions. Short
term indices of acid stress include: colloidal
iron and aminosalicylic acids (PAS) staining of
gills and renal Stannius corpuscles. A useful
bioindicator of prolonged acid exposure is
decreased azure B-RNA staining of liver cells;.
this assesses the extent of liver impairment and
reflects a reduced tolerance of fish to other tox-
icants. (Modified author abstract)

The air-bubble plume induced by the steady
release of air into water has been analyzed with
an integral technique based on the equations
for conservation of mass, momentum and
buoyancy. In this study the compressibility of
the air and the differential velocity between the
rising air bubbles and the water are introduced
as basic properties of the air-bubble plume in
addition to a fundamental coefficient of en-
trainment and a turbulent Schmidt number
characterizing the lateral spreading of the air
bubbles. Theoretical solutions for two- and
three-dimensional air-bubble systems in
homogeneous, stagnant water are presented in
both dimensional and normalized form and
compared to existing experimental data. The
further complication of a stratified environment
is briefly discussed.

For many years an increasing level of attention
has been given to instream water quality and to
a variety of environmental and public health
factors in connection with water resources
planning, development and operation. How-
ever, little attention has been given to the drink-
ing water supplies provided for the use of the
millions of visitors who use dams, reservoirs,
and related areas for sightseeing and recrea-
tional purposes every year. The purpose of the
pilot study was to commence an assessment of
the water quality, construction, operation and
health surveillance of the water supply systems
provided for public use on Federally operated
or constructed water resources development in
Ohio and Indiana.

This study demonstrated the feasibility of using

biological nitrification of municipal effluents.
The secondary effluent from the Midland,
Michigan, wastewater treatment plant was
dosed to a pilot scale trickling filter containing
plastic media. Consistent nitrification was ob-
tained under both summer and winter condi-
tions. Net cell growth was minimal, and the
filter effluent could be directly filtered by tri-
media filtration. The tri-media filter also served
as a denitrification system when methanol was
added to the nitrified effluent ahead of filtra-
tion. Significant changes were noted in the
operational characteristics of the tri-media
filter.

Diego Bay, California, was ideally suited as a
laboratory in which to conduct an investigation
on this problem. The review traces the history
of waste disposal practices in the San Diego

plant at Point Loma. The desecration of the Bay
by three-quarters of a century of waste loadings
is documented. The remarkably rapid recovery
of water quality, once sewage waste loadings
were discontinued, is also cited.

various operating situations, and the behavior,
especially with respect to the solids resulting
from a unit of substrate removed, was noted.
Both batch-fed units, simulating conventional
activated sludge, and continuously-fed units,
simulating complete mixing activated sludge,
were studied.

During the investigation of the foaming
problem, the need for a rapid and sensitive
method for detection of nonionic detergents
was recognized. A number of methods are
available for the determination of the ethylene
oxide nonionic detergents in the higher con-
centration ranges. However, few methods are
available for determination in quantities less
than one ppm. Ammonium cobaitothiocyanate
has been widely used to form a complex with
polyethoxylated-type compounds since it was
first described. The present method uses this
reagent to give the typical blue color reaction
on the thin layer. The sensitivity and selectivity
of the method are comparable to that of Patter-
son et al. The method is applied to carbon ad-
sorption samples representing 1,000 to 20,000
liters of water as well as 1 liter water grab sam-
ples. Whenever possible, as with most carbon
adsorption samples, the analysis is confirmed
by the PMA or the PTA method and infrared
spectroscopy.

In the field of air pollution, awareness of the

resulted in studies aimed at measuring levels of
exhaust components. Since excessive expo-

of this work is directed currently toward the
measurement of lead concentrations in urban

are available for the determination of lead. A

to provide such comparative information to

The widespread use of detergents that exhibit
little or no degradation in surface waters has
produced many problems in water supply and
pollution control. Prerequisite to an evaluation
of these problems and the development of
remedial measures is an efficient, reliable
analytical procedure for identifying synthetic
detergents and measuring the concentrations
present. This study was undertaken to evalute
the precision and accuracy of the three most
widely used procedures for detergent analysis
and the degree of reagent cleanup required to
remove interferences. The three methods are
based on the reaction of alkyl benzene sul-

chloroform-soluble blue complex which is
measured spectrophotometrically. The
methods differ in the degree of reagent cleanup

Nine-chlorinated phenols have been studied for
their rate of biological degradation. The disap-
pearance of the phenol has been observed by
recording changes in ultraviolet absorption.
The cleavage of the carbon-chlorine bond has
been determined by observing the increase in
the chlorine ion. There is some evidence that
the decrease in concentration of the more
biologically refractive compounds occurs by
adsorption into the slime and that these com-
pounds are not immediately degraded. When
some sludge is mixed with agitation but without
oxygen in the presence of more of the refractive
compound, the concentration of the refractive
compound in solution may increase sharply.
The toxicity of these compounds toward fish
shows a rough correlation with the ease of bac-
terial degradation. The toxicity of these com-
pounds to fish is greatly reduced by an increase
in the dissolved oxygen level.

Biological activity occurring in subsurface re-

ble importance in determining the fate and ef-
fect of pollutants in ground water. This paper
comprises a discussion of subsurface biologi-
cal activity in regard to ground-water pollution
as reflected by available literature references.
The subsurface environment is discussed in
terms of factors likely to be of greatest sig-
nificance in regard to the development of
biological systems, and previous investigations
of subsurface microbial activity are reviewed.
Previous investigations of subsurface microbial
activity clearly show the presence of diverse
microbial populations in many subsurface re-
gions below the soil zone. Hence, microbial ac-
tivity appears both possible and probable in
most subsurface regions of importance in re-
gard to ground water. (Modified author ab-

were concerned principally with an attempt to
describe the acute episode in terms of the in-

population, and to develop a clinical picture of
the disease. In addition, an investigation was
made of the possible effects on health of con-

which during the period of prolonged smog
might have contributed to the acute outbreak.

A stream's temperature is a major factor in its
ability to support fish life and to be utilized for
other beneficial purposes. The approach most
generally used for stream temperature predic-
tion is the Energy-Budget method, which in-
volves the inventory of all the energy entering
and leaving the stream. The research involved
the measuring of evaporation rates from porous
stream models of five surface configurations
placed in a low velocity wind tunnel and the
measurement of physical parameters which are
included in various evaporation equations.

The heating of streams is receiving growing at-
tention for many reasons. The Analysis of
Stream heating for natural sources has been
carried out with considerable success. In order
to determine the effects of terrain radiation, the
study problem was divided into three parts.
First, the format for data analysis, preferably by
a computer. Secondly, a field study to verify the
experimental results in a prototype situation.
and thirdly an analysis and field study to check
the effect of shading by terrain from direct
(shortwatve) solar radiation.

The problem of stream heating from natural in-
solation has received increasing attention dur-
ing the last decade. The purpose of turbidity
and bed material studies is related to radiant
heat transfer. The problem of turbidity was stu-
died by the analysis of a series of basins in
which water of various degrees of turbidity was
introduced. The temperature values in these
basins were observed for five days under
similar weather conditions, each degree of tur-
bidity having two basins to insure that there
was not only a check of repeatability during the
test period but that daily values were dependa-
ble as shown by duplication of the daily results.

The feasibility of applying the concept of oil-
water separation by means of woven hydrophil-
ic fabric to a floating oil containment boom was
investigated through a series of model tests. A
preliminary model boom configuration was
developed and towed at speeds to 0.686 me-
ters/sec (2.25 ft/sec) in both calm water and
waves. Oil retention performance of this model
was clearly superior to that of a conventional
flat plate boom of comparable draft in the en-
vironment investigated. A larger model of
similar configuration .demonstrated no oil
leakage when towed at 0.77 meter/sec (1.5 kt)
in calm water. While further detailed analysis,
engineering, and testing is required to fully ex-
amine this concept, it appears that a properly
designed flexible boom which uses a hydrophil-
ic skirt material offers significant potential both
as a containment device for floating oil In high
current situations and as a high-speed collect-
ing device. (Author)

ning U-tube systems. A satisfactory basis for
design now exists, although additional im-

tions. They are well-suited to applications in
which it is desired to raise the oxygen concen-
tration of a moving stream, even to saturation.

net reaction rates from the composition and
temperature profiles. The overall reaction rates
for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide were
also calculated from a postulated reaction

the spring, summer, and fall of 1966. Benthic
and phytoplankton samples were taken and the
results tabulated in conjunction with a chemi-
cal water quality study of the river. The results
of the seasonal chemical and biological surveys
were reported to the University of Kansas
Center for Research for incorporation and use
in their mathematical model of the river. Special
biological studies of the upstream areas and an
intensified study of the lower reach near the
river's mouth were also made. A total of 175

the representation of currents, and water levels,
and the representation of diffusion and the
local change of concentration due to currents,

The report provides a definition of the noise in-
formation community. An a priori model of this
community was established and the informa-
tion requirements were determined through an
activity analysis. This conceptual model was
then expanded and verified through a series of
personal interviews. The highlights of the
findings include: The interest of this community
in noise is heterogeneous and there is no single
information product or service indentifiable
which would satisfy, all needs. There are how'in
existence many information services. However,
the majority of information users are either hot
aware of these services or are unable to benefit
from them. Those people whose activities have
the greatest impact on the national noise cli-
mate operate with the least amount of informa-
tion support. Recommendations to alleviate
this situation are presented.

directed toward observing the change in mag-
nitude of the maximum uptake rate due to
changes in ambient temperature, NaCI concen-
tration, and the presence of B.O.D. dilution
salts, while the benthic material is exposed to
various states of agitation. .These parameters
are selected for study because of their possible
influence on the rate of oxygen depletion in
estuaries due to the resuspension of bottom
sediments during periods of intense dredging.

Investigations were carried out on methods of

was developed and found useful because of the
simple operations involved and the yielding of
reproducible results. Possible applications of
CEC data were explored. The control of pH in
coagulation of kaolinitic and bentonitic
suspensions produced a significant effect on
turbidity removal. The optimum pH of coagula-

This report outlines an optimum program to
meet the Nation's pollution control needs over
the next five years. During those years, the
major thrust will be the cooperative Federal-
State effort to implement water quality stan-
dards and attain adequate municipal and indus-
trial waste treatment. The FWPCA will also
develop, test, and demonstrate new technology
to solve present and avert future pollution
problems. The training of adequate manpower
to operate the waste treatment facilities is cru-
cial to the success of the whole anti-pollution
effort. Program activity will be directed increas-
ingly toward water quality control for entire
river basins. The estimates given here represent
FWPCA's best thinking at the start of 1968.

The process of eutrophication is a natural one.
often accelerated greatly by man's activities
that contribute nutrients. The key nutrient is
phosphorus: Although there is no simple rela-
tionship, it is clear that increasing phosphorus
content frequently leads to accelerated
eutrophication. Of all important nutrients,
phosphorus is most controllable. Control ef-
forts follow five basic directions: Limiting fer-
tility;, improving food webs;.stimulating plant
diseases and parasites;, recycling nutrient-
laden water to agricultural and forest lands;
and using toxic chemicals to kill vegetation.
Limitation of nutrients is the most desirable ap-
proach, particularly through curtailing
phosphorus inputs. (Modified author abstracts)

The overall objective of the study was to
develop fundamental data and information
relating to the effect of discharges from the
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
(CYAPC) plant on the aquatic environment so
as to permit a more scientific evaluation of the
disposal process. Specifically, the authors
sought to determine baseline populations of
bacteria, phytoplankton and chemical condi-
tions existent in an area of the Connecticut
River prior to plant operation with which to
compare observations following initiation of
power generation.

The initial mixing of discharged waste water is
basically a problem of jet diffusion, whereas the
subsequent dispersion and dilution is a more
complex phenomenon, due to the multitude of
significant parameters involved. The efficiency
of the initial mixing process is directly related to
the flux of momentum and buoyancy from the
source and is generally gained by a relatively
close port spacing. Hence, from a practical

The dynamical effects of an urban surface on
the airflow above it could be an important fac-
tor in meso-scale precipitation patterns. In
order to evaluate the dynamical influences of
an urban area, local variations in the mixing
layer depth over metropolitan St. Louis are in-
vestigated. Variations in the height of a tem-
perature inversion capping a deep mixing layer
are used to measure the urban effect on the
mixing layer depth. Case studies employing air-
craft, pilot balloon and radiosonde data col-
lected in Project METROMEX show that the St.
Louis urban area produces a doming of the in-
version layer over the. city during the morning
hours on certain summer days. It is concluded
from observational and numerical modeling
studies that the urban surface influence did not
contribute significantly to the formation of the

•Ecology,
An investigation was made into the ecological
factors which influence the growth of the pur-
ple sulfur bacteria, particularly Chromatium
and Thiopedia, By utilizing radioactive sulfide it
was indicated that sulfide uptake is enzymatic
in nature. Fructose, glucose, acetate, pyruvate.
and prppionate were shown to be capable of
•applying electrons for the metabolism of
"n.iopedia. Fructose, glucose, acetate, pyru-
vate. lactate, formate,'and propionate were able
to supply electrons for the metabolism of Chro-
matium. These organic compounds with the ex-
ception of pyruvate were not capable of supply-
ing carbon for synthesis of new cefl material. In
a field study made upon waste lagoons, micros-
tratiflication was demonstrated to be of great
importance in maintaining semi-anaerobic con-
ditions necessary for the growth of the purple
sulfur bacteria. (Modified author abstract)

tracer and ambient fluids have different densi-
ties. Longitudinal dispersion in flows with
lonitudinal density gradients is investigated
also. Many waste effluents which are
discharged into streams have densities slightly
different from those of the receiving waters.
The study investigates the effects of density dif-

effect of rainfall on total sediment transport in a
shallow stream: to establish a relationship
between changes in flow conditions due to
simulated rainfall and the resultant changes in
sediment concentrations: to determine how

The upper portions of the Chesapeake Bay and
its tidal tributaries are currently suffering from
an, insidious eutrophication problem as
evidenced by the increased frequency and per-
sistence of undesirable-algal blooms and the
dramatic changes in .the Bay's natural flora
which have recently been experienced. Water
quality monitoring data collected between 1968
and 1971 have shown an upward trend in
phosphorus levels and indicated that inorganic
nitrogen may presently be the growth rate-limit-
ing nutrient since it is almost nonexistent dur-
ing peak bloom conditions. In order to limit the
maximum algal standing crop to 40 ug/l
chlorophyll a, it was determined that total
phosphorus and inorganic nitrogen concentra-
tions should not exceed 0.12 mg/l and 0.8 mg/l.
respectively. The achievement of these concen-
trations necessitates the institution of a con-
siderable abatement program in the
Susquehanna River Basin and the Baltimore
metro area. (Modified author abstract)

stage process consisting of (1) neutralization
followed by (2) sulfide treatment. The first stage
removes ferric and aluminum hydroxides, and
the second (sulfide) stage precipitates the

economic recovery. The two-stage process has
been demonstrated in the laboratory and in a

This study was undertaken to determine the
current state-of-knowledge concerning the
measurement of the potential benefit of water
pollution control on property values, and to
analyze the relationship between water quality
parameters and property values at several sites
where water pollution has been substantially
reduced in recent years. Multiple-regression
analysis and an interview technique were em-
ployed to study the relationship between re-
sidential and recreational property values and
water quality components. Study sites were
located on San Diego Bay and the Kanawha.
Ohio, and Willamette Rivers. It was found that
effective pollution abatement on badly polluted
water bodies can increase the value of single-
family homes situated on waterfront lots by 8 to
25 percent, and that these water quality im-
provements can affect property values up to
4000 feet away from the water's edge. The mea-
surable water quality parameters which have
the greatest influence on property values are
dissolved oxygen concentration, fecal coliform
concentrations, clarity, visual pollutants-(trash
and debris), toxic chemicals, and pH. (Modified

When the outflow of sewage is small enough so
that the sewage microorganisms do not
completely dominate the marine microflora,
those microorganisms carried in sewage are
rapidly killed in the sea. A number of different
hypotheses have been proposed to account for
this kill including dilution, heavy metals, unk-
nown organic compounds, and algal products.
The object of this research was to determine
precisely the mechanism of kill of intestinal
microorganisms in the sea. Most of the data ob-

A specification is presented of research needs
and priorities involving water pollution control
costs and benefits. A series of theoretical and
methodological research needs are presented.
Water quality management is required in a
dynamic setting and over a broad range of
hydrctogic and economic conditions. The com-
mon property resource aspects of the problem
with the prevalence of externalities complicates
the issues involved. A major development of a
cost-minimization methodological approach
for water quality mangement is presented. An
important distinction is made between the
economic costs of pollution and the costs of
pollution abatement. The economic costs of
pollution are a function of water quality,
whereas pollution abatement costs are typically
a function of the degree of pollution control.
For comparable cost comparisons, a transfor-
mation of pollution abatement costs in terms of
water quality is desired. Finally, in a series of
technical appendicies. the following subjects
are discussed: Water pollution control cost and
benefit estimates; and water quality associated
health impacts.

The research concentrated on efforts to isolate
pure cultures which would use both cellulose
and hydrocarbons. From more than 70 different
inocuia of soil, compost, sewage sludge and
forest litter. 367 pure cultures were isolated on
n-hexadecane media; 28 of these were found to
be capable of attacking sodium carboxymethyl
cellulose and lowering its viscpsoty. Only one
proved to be capable of attacking purified cel-
lulose, ball-milled newspaper, or newsprint.
This culture is a fungus which grows well up to
45C, identified as Aspergillus fumigatus. More
than 300 enrichment cultures were also
developed on cellulosic substrates (purified
cellulose, ball-milled newsprint, without ink, or
ball-milled newspaper) from similar inocuia.

The problem of stream pollution is assuming
more and more importance in the efforts not
only to maintain but also to increase the availa-
ble supply of potable water for both industrial
and domestic uses. Efforts to locate, identify,
and eliminate as many sources of contamina-
tion as possible are continually being made by
many state and national groups. One such large
scale investigation has been made by the Public
Health Service in the vicinity of Kansas City. All
possible sources of pollution of the Missouri,
Kansas, and Blue Rivers were located and
identified. This investigation was a preliminary
effort to determine the feasibility of using IR
equipment to detect and thereby accurately to
locate sources of stream pollution.

The rate of ammonia absorption in the dark and
the amount of ortho-phosphate extracted by
boiling water treatments have been used to fol-
low the transient nature of the nitrogen and
phosphorus nutrition of algae, and aquatic
weeds. It is suggested that only terminal por-
tions of aquatic weeds be used for nutritional
bioassays because of nutritional differences
between young and old portions of the same
plant. Available nitrogen compounds related to
rainfall have been shown to influence the
nitrogen nutritional status of Spirogyra and
Cladophora. In applications of bioassays the
importance of testing each species of plants
separately is shown by contrasting results ob-
tained with nitrogen-fixing (phosphorus-
limited) and non-fixing (nitrogen-limited) blue-
green algae from the same environment.

Among the more than 50 desulfurization con-

these are considered to be sufficiently well
characterized to potentially make a significant
contribution to S02 control within the next 5
years: wet lime/limestone scrubbing process,
wet magnesium oxide scrubbing, and catalytic-
oxidation. The various control processes are
compared with each other in terms of removal
efficiency, capital and operating costs, and with
low-sulfur fuel in terms of operating costs. It
appears that the three control processes
discussed offer an economic incentive for
utilization over low-sulfur fuel for many power
plants, although power plant location and the
fossil fuel type utilized strongly affect any com-
parison.

The disposal of wastes into nearshore ocean
waters is increasing in importance all over the
world. One of the most important criteria for
evaluating a system disposing domestic or in-
dustrial wastes into nearshore waters is the
amount of floatable material in the waste. The
report describes in detail the progress made
during the first two years of a planned three-
year program aimed at the development of
treatment methods which are to be oriented
toward the removal of floatable material from
domestic and industrial wastes before disposal
of such wastes into the marine environment It
has been a special consideration during this
work to develop treatment methods which will
remove only the floatable material from a waste.
followed by disposal of the remainder of the
waste directly through a well designed and
adequate outfall and diffuser system.

Disinfection of sewage is of primary concern to
shellfish sanitation. The use of chlorine and its
compounds is practically the only means used
for sewage disinfection and therefore many in
shellfish sanitation should be familiar with
Chlorination practices. The authors have at-
tempted to combine the important aspects of
sewage Chlorination as found in the published
literature in order to eliminate the necessity of
searching out the references by the reader. The
subject material is applicable to design, con-
struction, and modification of the important
factors of Chlorination in considerably more
detail than generally found in a sewage treat-
ment plant design manual. , .

Because of the tremendous volume of wastes
discharged from paper and pulping operations,
lignin ranks high as an industrial contaminant
of surface waters. However, little is known con-
cerning its decomposition in natural biological
processes. This is even more pronounced with
regard to the biological decomposition of in-
dustrial forms of lignin in streams receiving
these wastes. As a starting point for the estima-
tion of lignin in microquantities, two methods
were chosen for examination: (1) A spectro-

the ultraviolet range of the spectrum; and (2) A
chemical method using properties of structure
which would result in a colorimetric reaction.

In semi-arid areas where water-supplies are
being depleted at alarming rates, re-use of
water is of paramount importance. The in-
vestigation was initiated in an attempt to deter-
mine the survivability of amoebic cysts, in-
testinal flagellates, and ova of helminths at vari-
ous phases of the stabilization process. Only
those organisms pathogenic to man were to be
investigated.

A testing station was operated at the Grove City

tain devices commonly used in sewage purifi-
cation, were used to treat the waste. It is be-
lieved that the tests were conducted for a suffi-
cient length of time and that the results were
satisfactory enough to justify rather definite
recommendations as to the type of plant best
suited for treating creamery waste of the kind
produced at the Grove City Creamery Co.

Suppl-90
Descriptors: "Water analysis. 'Dissolved gases.

Numerous requests for information regarding
oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen tests
have indicated the desirability of assembling
this scattered material and of placing it in a
more readily usable form. In the instructions
given herewith for the conduct of the oxygen
demand test the only notable departure from
previous recommendations is the substitution,
under certain conditions, of a buffered
synthetic dilution water for stored tap water.
This change appears desirable In view of the
difficulty experienced in many places in secur-
ing a suitable dilution water, owing to the
presence of unusual amounts of iron in the tap
water supply or to the undesirable pH value, at
times, of softened water or of water purified by
excess-lime treatment

manner in which this rule has been qualified by
other common-law principles and by changing

Study of the flight habits of the anopheline

planning control measures. The radius of flight
or dispersion has been studied since the early
days of antimosquito work and has been the
concern of most mosquito workers at some
time. This study is important because the
distance the mosquito can fly determines the
limits to which a given breeding place is dan-
gerous and sets the distance to which an-
tianopheline work must be carried out if a given
point is to be protected from disease.

A cooperative project to study the performance

packing, as a biological slime attachment sur-
face for secondary treatment of sewage at the
City of Battle Creek. Michigan, was initiated in
December, 1955. The report contains a summa-
ry of data obtained and calculations based
upon the data. An equation was developed from
the data relating performance as a function of
depth and the hydraulic application rate. From
the available data, it was not possible to distin-
guish a relationship between performance and
organic application rate. Indications were that
within the narrow range of organic application
rates studied, variations resulting from daily
fluctuations in waste strength, efficiency was
independent of organic loading.

The report gives a synopsis of data collected
from investigating the relationship between
combustion, aerodynamics, and pollutant emis-
sion characteristics of industrial burners. Five
types of burners were studied: a scaled-down
utility power boiler burner; a high-intensity
(flat-flame) burner; a movable-block burner
developed by the International Flame Research
Foundation; an axial flow burner; .and a baffle
burner used in steel reheat furnaces. Broad
conclusions, applicable to all burners tested.
were: burners using radial gas injection
produce peak NO at 11% or less excess air; bur-
ners using axial gas injection produce peak NO
at 22% or more excess air; NO concentration in-
creases with increasing air preheat, but the
magnitude of the change depends on burner
design and the gas injection method;, and
Changing from axial to radial gas injection con-
sistently results in an increase in NO concentra-
tion.

In 1950 a mimeographed set of data was
prepared for the students' attending the
Radiological Health Training Courses offered
by the Public Health Service at the Environmen-
tal Health Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. These
data were so useful for both the students and
staff they were extended, reorganized and as-
sembled in 1951 into a temporary booklet. The
cordial response to such a compilation of data,
the addition of more and varied course in the
field of radiological health, the exponential
progress in the theory and use of'atomic ener-
gy, and the student recommendations inspired
the issuance of the 1952 edition of the
Radiological Health Handbook. This edition of
the Handbook includes the revised table of
isotopes and utilizes the more recent data from
this table to calculate other entries in the hand-
book.

At the conference concerning interstate pollu-

on August 27.1963. it was determined that un-
treated and inadequately treated sewage and
industrial wastes discharged to the Coosa
River. These waste discharges lowered the dis-
solved oxygen content of parts of this reach.
Higher temperature increased the rate of ox-
ygen utilization by bacteria in decomposing or-
ganic material thereby causing a more rapid
depletion of oxygen in the receiving waters. The
report gives data on these effects.

The report describes the development of the

stream and power generation. Coal is burned in
a fluidizied bed of crushed lime in the boiler's
primary combustion zone; the partially sulfated
lime is continuously regenerated (by reductive
decomposition) in another zone. High com-
bustion efficiencies are achieved by recycling,
to a Carbon Burnup Cell, the carbon-containing
flyash which is carried out of the primary com-
bustion zone. Experimental work was con-
ducted for the purpose of demonstrating
system operability, including: high degrees of
sulfur removal in the primary combustion zone;
high levels of SO2 in the off-gases from the
regeneration zone, suitable for sulfur recovery,
and high combustion efficiencies. Preliminary
designs and cost estimates are presented for
30-MW and 300-MW boilers.

using thermal reactions. Thermal degradation
reactions were carried out using pure cellulose,

products that could be separated into char, tar.
volatile liquid and gas fractions. Useful grades
of active carbon were recovered from the chars;
pure cellulose tar contained significant
amounts of levoglucosan but contaminants in
the recovered materials drastically reduced the
sugar yields. Acid catalysis, under aqueous
conditions, provided reasonable yields of levu-
linic acid, a compound of commercial value.

The aim of the project was to measure the BOD
of various species of algae alone and in as-
sociation with bacteria under incubation condi-
tions of 5 days' time in the dark and at a tem-
perature of 20 C to determine if algae have an
effect on BOD measurements under the stan-
dard conditions. The culture procedures used
to supply Chlorella for the BOD tests are
described and the growth rates of this alga in
four different media were measured. Because
there is little information in the literature on the
measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the
presence of algae, tests were carried out to ob-
serve if algae affected this measurement.
Another series of tests were made to determine
if the algae used in BOD tests under the stan-
dard conditions would survive the 5 days of
darkness in the presence of bacteria.

effluents, that can be detrimental to aquatic life,
and are perhaps the most subtle, namely: the
effects of increased temperature; the effects of
paniculate matter, as turbidity and settleable
solids; .the effects of nutrients resulting in un-
desirable aquatic growths; and the relationship
of radioactive wastes to aquatic life.

In recent years considerable attention has been
given to evaluating the relationships between
actinomycete development and the earthy taste
and odor problems frequently encountered in
potable waters. Increased concern over these
problems has resulted in extensive inquiries
concerning the isolation and enumeration of
those actinomycete groups which may signifi-
cantly affect water quality. In an effort to help
fill this need, procedures are set forth in con-
siderable detail so that they can be adopted by
investigators who have had little experience
with this group of organisms. The methods
described are well established techniques that
have been employed with considerable suc-
cess.

The insidious nature with which the pollution of

required for it to regain its original quality make
it essential to prevent pollution rather than at-
tempt corrective measures after its occurrence.
Relatively few of the state water-pollution con-

of reportedly adequate statutory control are

in connection with air pollution investigations.
These results, which comprised the first phase
of the study, were to be related to broad class
intervals of population increments and to the
fuel and industrial economies. The second
phase of the study involved selection of a
complete pollution simulant formulation
representative of the average maximum con-

The treatment needs of the aluminum industry
relate to common types of industrial waste
water such as cooling tower blow-down and
neutralization products, and the specialized
need to remove or recover fluoride ion com-
ponents from fume scrubbers at smelters. The
primary mercury industry, by virtue of a current
air pollution control problem, may require in-
creased measures of water pollution control as-
sociated with air emission control equipment or
new processing methods. The primary molyb-
denum industry has taken or is designing effec-
tive methods of water pollution control ranging
from isolated water systems to changes in flota-
tion reagent concentrations. Plants processing
refractory metal concentrates to end products
generally are associated with municipal water
systems and show high materials recoveries
with concurrent close control and careful
segregation of waste water streams. Neutraliza-
tion with filtration of acid wastes is a common
practice of the plants surveyed. The small
amount of information available for the primary
gold and silver industries shows greatly differ-
ing practices, ranging from zero discharge in

Cost information on erosion and sediment con-
trol measures was developed for over 25
methods In current widespread use in both the
humid Eastern and arid Western United States.
Most of the data presented were developed for
the Walnut Creek Basin in California and the
Occoquan Creek Basin in Virginia, but the
detailed cost estimates presented provide a
basis for estimating local costs elsewhere for
similar control methods using three principal
cost elements: labor, equipment and materials.
Soil losses were estimated by using the im-

A Numerical Solution of the Two-Dimensional
Diffusion Equation in a Shear Flow.
Technical memo.,
Jean F. Coudert.Jun 70.41 pTM-70-7
Descriptors: 'Shear flow.
A numerical method developed in the last two
years is used to solve the diffusion equation
with a delta-function as initial value. The two-
dimensional case of a steady line source in a
stream is considered. The velocity profile is
logarithmic and the diffusivity is parabolic but
any profile could be used. The source can be
set anywhere from the bed up to the free sur-
face. The results are given in a dimensionless
form and a significant set of plots is automati-
cally produced. The method could be easily ap-
plied to more complicated cases (unsteady,
point source, etc.). (Author)

the National Conference on Water Pollution.
called at the request of President Eisenhower
and held in Washington, D.C., in December
1960. The purpose of the conference was to as-
sess the problem of water pollution, to deter-
mine its effects upon the national welfare, and
to set realistic goals for its control. In this way
the conference would create a national body of
opinion and documented fact on which our
country may base a new and more vigorous at-
tack on this serious hazard. The theme of the
conference was 'Clean Water—A Challenge to
the Nation'.

In medical practice and research, sterilization
of materials and equipment is frequently neces-
sary to prevent infection. Steam pressure and
other heat sterilization methods are usually
satisfactory;. however, a number of materials,
certain instruments, and various types of ap-
paratus are easily damaged by the high tem-

tion. This paper presents an evaluation of a new
method of sterilization, which uses a non-

'Algae. *Lagoons(Ponds),
The initial goal of this project was to study the
types of organic compounds which affected the
growth of unicellular green algae such as are
found in stabilization ponds, to investigate the
occurance of these compounds in domestic
sewage, and to determine the importance of
direct algal assimilation of organic compounds
in the process of biochemical oxygen demand
reduction in stabilization ponds. Investigations
of some ecological factors were undertaken in
order to evaluate the importance of light inten-
sity, carbon dioxide concentration, pH, and
algal concentration upon algal growth and BOD
removal in stabilization ponds. Thus this report
includes the results of four separate investiga-
tions concerning the ecology of stabilization
ponds.

The feasibility of recovering oil in slicks Imm
and thicker by the use of recycled sorbents has
been shown in laboratory and wave tank tests.
Sorbents made of recticulated foam are broad-
cast on the sea, herded by a boom, picked up by
a porous belt and the oil squeezed out of the
sorbents by a wringer. The sorbents are then
rebroadcast on the sea for further oil recovery.
General equations were developed for basic
sorption properties, sorbent broadcasting, sor-
bent herding, sorbent pickup, recovery of oil
from the sorbent and for the total system.
Based on the laboratory modeling and general
equations, the total system concept was
developed. It was concluded that one inch cube
sorbent particles distributed in a shrouded
rectilinear screw fed system was optimal. A 4/1
compression ratio of the slick by a boom herd-
ing the sorbent and oil to the channel would
work under virtually any wave condition.

Massive kills of fish have occurred in the lower
Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers and the Gulf
of Mexico, in the fall and winter months every
year since 1960, and were particularly severe in
the winter of 1963-64. Experiments showed that
endrin was present in lethal amounts in the
blood of dead fish taken from the Mississippi
River. As a result of these experiments and re-
lated investigations, endrin appears to have
been the most likely cause of the fish kills in
1963. Because of the many similarities involved,
it is quite probable that the kills in earlier years
were caused by the same chemical.

The results from a study of the removal of gase-
ous hydrogen chloride by the solid, metal or-
ganic complex, chromium oxinate, in a fixed-
bed adsorption column is presented in the form
of adsorption curves or exit gas concentration
histories. These experimental curves are sub-
sequently compared to the solutions of a
theoretical mathematical model representing
the adsorption process. The model incor-
porates axial diffusion, as described by G. I.
Taylor. A gas phase mass transfer resistance
and a solid phase adsorption-desorption rate
were considered as the mechanisms for the ad-
sorption model. The solutions to the mathe-
matical model were generated by an analog
computer. (Author)

With the advent of large high-speed computers,
many problems in fluid mechanics and ground-
water hydraulics can be solved or 're-solved'
using only basic principles. Historically, the
solutions to problems in groundwater hydrau-
lics have been with applications of complex
variables and conformal mapping. The program
presented here is an application to many of the
same problems using only Darcy's Law and the
continuity equation. The program was verified
against an analytical solution to a single well

Descriptors: 'Radiation hazards. 'X rays,

The report is based on one of a series of studies
conducted by the United States Public Health
Service to estimate population exposure from
X-rays. Interest in this problem was manifested
as early as 1952. and intensified in 1956. when
studies were published in several countries
suggesting that the levels of man-made geneti-
cally significant radiation were rather substan-
tial. The recent passage of the Radiation Health
and Safety Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-602)
reflects the growing concern of responsible
persons and agencies for the need for research
on the effects of radiation exposure to persons
and the control of radiation hazards. The X-ray
Exposure Study of 1964. is providing data on
the exposure and dose resulting from medical
diagnostic X-ray procedures, provides an es-
sential baseline for evaluating the effectiveness
of program efforts in the control of excess
radiation exposure from these procedures.

The research discusses the possibilities for
revising Federal Government procurement
specifications to provide incentives for reduc-
ing solid waste. The extent of Federal direct
purchases relative to domestic use was a pri-
mary consideration in the selection criteria.
Disposal problems and the technical feasibility
of including recycled materials in procurement
specifications were also considered. The op-
purtunily areas selected for in-depth evaluation
were paper and paperborad, metals, glass, and
rubber. Alternative scenarios were developed to
assess the impacts of changing specifications
for linerboard. The report concludes that
changing government specifications for paper
products, especially those used in packaging,
offered the best opportunity for solid waste
reduction.

The study shows that a large amount of nutri-

the lakes from various sources. It further shows
that the inorganic nitrogen contributed from
these sources and from deposits on the lake
bottom is a critical substance with relation to
lake blooming. While the Madison sewage ef-
fluent contributes by far the largest amount of
this substance to Lake Waubesa. 76.9%. it is not
the sole contributor. Lake Kegonsa receives
67.2% of its inorganic nitrogen and 88.6% of its
organic nitrogen from Lake Waubesa. In the
case of Lake Monona the storm and industrial
sewers of Madison are large contributors.

This paper represents a philosophy of approach
held by many of the German workers to the
problem of evaluating the effects of air pollu-
tion on vegetation. Following the definition of
the distinction between injury and damage and
some discussion of diagnostic methods, a rela-
tionship is developed between damage and a
tolerance limit based upon the immission and
the effect of the injuries. This is suggested as a
basis for the critical examination of the hazard
to vegetation and the evaluation of admissible
emissions.

Lakes and Illinois River Basins. The Great Lakes
and their tributaries are part of the St. Lawrence
River system, draining to the Atlantic Ocean,
while the Illinois River drains to the Gulf of Mex-
ico through the Mississippi River. The two
Basins are being studied jointly because of
their interrelation at the city of Chicago, which
straddles the divide between them.

was found to be a normal mid-temperature

More than 90% of the surface runoff on the

of natural depressions or playa lakes. The basic
aims given in the report are to design, construct
and evaluate a series of modifications of these
palya lakes. The inter-disciplinary team ap-
proach is being used to obtain one or more
methods of handling surface water that will
serve several purposes rather than one single
purpose. The ideal modification would prevent
mosquito breeding; maintain water for fish

the objective of the study is to extend the data
given in the report on entrainment to sediments
with small particle sizes. The study of entrain-
ment of finer particles is of interest to the
operation of settling tanks commonly used to
remove solids from water. The turbid water is
introduced at one end of the settling tank and
allowed to flow slowly through the tank so solid
particles can settle to the bottom and be
removed. Panicles which settle to the bed may
also be reentrained by the flow in the tank and
be carried away in the effluent, thus reducing
the efficiency of the tank.

Gradual changes and improvements in the

many water treatment plants have altered the
role of the filtration process to such a degree
that a review of the function and design of the
filter is called for. As a part of this review the
Sanitary Engineering Center has cooperated
with various State Health Departments and

higher rates of filtration on the quality of
finished water. This report covers a project ear-
ned out in a 3-mgd water plant at Gaffney.
South Carolina, from 1959 to 1961. The results
emphasize the fact that, when a coarse
anthracite filter media is used adequate coagu-

gardless of filter rates. When the coagulation
process functioned properly, well-clarified
water was obtained at a filtration rate between 1

metals as a water quality problem requiring ad-
ditional study and analysis. Sediment analyses
were made during August and September 1970.
and again in April 1971. While small concentra-

the overtying waters of the estuary, considera-
ble amounts of various heavy metals were
recorded by acid extraction determination from

evaluation of transmission types through a
feasibility study and ultimate selection of a
transmission type; (2) evaluation of the selected
transmission type through design calculations
and layouts, performance analysis, control

The equation for unsteady and unsaturated
flow of water in soils was derived by Klute in
1952 and since then many efforts have been
made to obtain a solution to this equation.
Some successful numerical procedures for the
solution have been developed for the one-
dimensional form of the equation, but the two-
and three-dimensional forms of this equation
have been untouched because of the mathe-
matical complexities involved. The writer has
succeeded in obtaining a solution to the two-

disposal. Turbulent diffusion.
The disposal of wastes into bodies of water is
probably as old as man himself. In recent years,
the coastal communities in the world have been
disposing of their sewage in the ocean at ever-
increasing rates. Many countries also deposit
radioactive wastes at sea. The physical trans-
port and dispersion of these wastes, i.e., their
concentration in time and space after deposi-
tion, is an important consideration in any waste
disposal problem. Thus, the report of the turbu-
lent diffusion of fluid in the ocean is of Immense
practical significance and deserving of serious
consideration, as an important problem in the
general field of turbulent diffusion, by en-
gineers and scientists alike.

The report gives results of Phase I of an in-

techniques for controlling NOx emissions from
putverized-coal-fired utility boilers. The
techniques-studied on a 5-million Btu/hr sin-
gle-burner pilot unit-included: excess air: air
preheat: rating: flue gas recirculation; staged
combustion: quench: and swirl. The study
showed that NOx reductions of up to 50% are
possible either using staged combustion or by
lowering excess air levels from 30 to zero %-
Rue gas recirculation yielded only moderate
NOx reductions. Fuel-bound nitrogen conver-
sion increased with increasing excess air level
and decreasing temperature. At sub-
stoichiometric conditions, the final precursors
for NO formation from either fuel-bound
nitrogen or thermal atmospheric fixation ap-
peared identical. For existing units, control of
excess air promises to be the best method for
NOx reduction; however, for new units, staging
(with physical separation of the two stages) ap-
pears to be the most promising. (Author)

organic material. The solubility in water of p,p'-
ODT as well as a number of other chlorinated

solubility of DDT in water is believed to be a
major factor in minimizing degradation, diffu-
sive movement and movement by mass flow of

This report presents estimates of costs to

effluent limitations and discusses the economic
impact of these costs. Data on industry loca-
tion, water use, waste treatment and byproduct
disposition are provided. For representative
plants, wastewater treatment costs ranged from
0.5 to 1.9 percent of average total costs. Waste-
water treatment costs of this technology would
represent 1.6 to 5.9 percent of average total
costs for representative plants. High costs of
constructing wastewater treatment systems to
meet the effluent limitations will encourage
poultry slaughtering plants to seek other alter-
natives to reduce water use and wasteloads.

for developing state and local area projections.
A major problem stems from the fact that per-
sonnel (professional economists, planners, ad-
ministrators, and so on) are far better supplied
with national, regional, and state projections
than with those of a local nature. However, it is
the local projection which must be used for
most investment planning.

December 1976
A sub-scale simulation of a high-voltage trans-
mission line was constructed and operated in a
chamber roughly 1.5 meters long by 0.5 meter
in diameter to determine ozone production
characteristics. Effects of voltage and corona
power, conductor size and surface condition,
air temperature, relative humidity, and air flow
rate (wind velocity) on ozone yield were deter-
mined. Of these, corona power (voltage), rela-
tive humidity, and air flow rate exhibited signifi-
cant effects on ozone yield. Averaged yield
values ranged from about 3 gm/kw-hr at high
humidity (75-80 percent) to about 7 gm/kw-hr
at low humidity (25-30 percent). (Author)

The report presents a computational procedure
for calculating the coupled flow and chemistry
within combustion devices. The procedure
solves the time-averaging Navier-Stokes equa-
tions with coupled chemistry, including the ef-
fects of turbulence and radiative hear transfer,
using a novel field relaxation method. Although
the procedure employs a relatively simple tur-
bulence model, the model can be easily
modified within the framework of the computa-
tional method. The flow and chemistry within a
representative furnace have been computed,
using the procedure; and the computations are
presented and compared with experimental

The research had as its purpose a stochastic
description of the movement of particles in a
turbulent medium. Through this theoretical
description, the movement of an ensemble of
particles is investigated and an equation is for-
mulated to describe the concentration of sedi-
ment as a function of time and space in a turbu-
lent medium. Experimental investigations of the
validity of the mathematical model were con-
ducted in a 40 ft. research flume with rainfall

'Dolomite(Mineral), 'Calcium oxides,
•Magnesium oxides, 'Chemisorption.
Calcined dolomite is a candidate acceptor for
H2S in processes for gasifying or pyrolyzing
sulfurous fuels, such as coal and residual oil, to
provide sulfur-free fuels for use in power sta-
tions. Differential kinetic data are given for the
reaction (CaO*IgO) +H2S =(Cas-MgO) +
H2O between 475 and 900C at H2S partial pres-
sures between 0.003 and 0.2 atmospheres. The
main features of data obtained for a powder ap-
pear to be explained by the assumption that ac-
tivated adsorption of H2S by unreacted CaO
hinders the rate, the adsorption being in
general not at equilibrium. An expression for
the rate appears to require at least three kinetic
constants: an adsorption rate constant, a
desorption rate constant, and a reaction rate
constant. The activation energy of the reation
kinetic constant is estimated. Some effects of
steam concentration, hydrogen concentration,
and sintering on the activity of calcined
dolomite are discussed. (Modified author ab-

Benthos samples stained with phloxine B at a
concentration of 100 mg/l in ethanol and for-
malin preservatives were sorted in approxi-
mately half the time required for unstained
samples. The time saved in sorting benthos
samples depends on the amount of ditritus,
number of organisms, and the skill of the sorter.
The stain concentration must be adjusted to
suit the particular substrate type and increased
if the samples are composed primarily of or-
ganic detritus. The organisms in the stained
benthos samples became bright red after 48
hours which offered good visual contrast to the
detritus. Rose bengal has been used in samples
at a concentration of 100 mg/l with equal effec-
tiveness in reducing the sorting time. It has ad-
vantage over phloxine B in that good staining
results in 24 hours and the red color is more
vivid.

human activity is the primary cause of air pollu-

pattern is another important consideration,
since an air quality control region should be
designed not only for the present but also for

Rooted aquatic plants in the Upper Potomac
Basin are not a significant factor in the nutrient
budget of the lower Potomac River. In August
1969 the standing crop of rooted aquatic plants
in the Upper Potomac River Basin contained
400 pounds of phosphorus and 4400 pounds of
nitrogen. These quantities are equivalent to ap-
proximately 40 percent of the phosphorus and
nitrogen in wastewaters discharged to the
Upper Potomac River in a single day. Standing
crop estimates were made for growths in An-
tietam Creek, Conococheague Creek and the
Potomac River. Other basin streams contained
too few growths of rooted plants to merit sam-
pling for standing crop estimates.

year was spent on the modification of the
analytical methods to accommodate the solvent
system and to study the distribution of both or-
ganic and inorganic contaminants between the
solvent extraction streams. During the second
year the distribution of different cations and
anions found were studied using standard solu-
tions of each, and the organic matter distribu-
tion in the solvent extraction streams was stu-
died using samples of secondary effluents from
local sewage treatment plants.

In the Fall of 1971 the Division of Municipal
Waste Water Programs completed a survey of
construction needs from Fiscal Year 1972 to
Fiscal Year 1976 for municipal waste treatment
plants serving populations of 10,000 or more
persons. For a number of reasons it is con-
sidered essential that an estimate of the Na-
tion's need for sewage treatment facilities be
developed by conducting a survey of individual
municipalities, rather than by a sampling
technique which extrapolates with a mathe-
matical model. The municipalities for 10,000 or
more persons surveyed accounted for 77% of
the total needs. The remaining 23% of the
needs occurred in communities of less than
10,000 persons. The 1971 assessment esti-
mated the total needs for the FY-1972 to FY-
1974 period, as $14.6 billion. As Exhibit I in-
dicates, this amount is effectively $3.2 billion
greater than the 1970 assessment. The survey
provided some insight concerning the com-
position of the needs of municipalities of 10.000
or more. It is shown the majority of needs to be
for secondary treatment, tertiary treatment, and
interceptor sewers and that 58% of the needs
are for new facilities and 42% for modifications
and improvements.

A literature search of recent industrial waste-
water characteristics, water utilization data,
and manufacturing production for the base
years 1963 and 1964 were implemented into the
resulting tabulation 'NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL
WASTEWATER ASSESSMENT MANUFACTURE
YEAR 1963'. Only the raw (untreated) waste-
water volumes and characteristics are
presented. The data presented in the report
should be used for guideline purposes only,
and should not be applied directly as effluent

One obvious problem facing municipal solid
waste disposal is that the spatial distribution
pattern of generation is nearly inverse to that of
the most cost effective existing techniques for
disposal. This suggests widespread, intensive
reliance on transportation or on the potential of
development of new technology. This report
addresses one attempt at development of a
technological approach, as is being made by
Ecology, Inc. of Brooklyn, New York. The
technology involved is composting; the attempt
is to develop the economic viability of its use on
municipal refuse in an inner city situation.
Discussed are the market constraints, the
process technology, the economics, and the
feasibility of the process.

An analytical model of the combustion process
in a closed system is developed. The model
uses real gas properties and assumes the
burned gas region to be non-uniform. Numeri-
cal calculations using this model predict a 600K
temperature difference across the combustion
chamber with the high temperature region ad-
jacent to the point of ignition. Chemical kinetic
calculations show that the formation of nitric
oxide is greatly influenced by the temperature
gradient. Experimentally infrared spectroscop-
ic measurements were made to substantiate the
existance of this temperature gradient.

The general objective of the research is to learn
more about the estuarine system and, in the
particular, the tidal flat system, with particular
emphasis given to how man's activities can
disrupt these systems to the eventual disad-
vantage of man. In the reported research pro-
ject, an approach was used in which emphasis
was alternately given to mathematical models
and expermental results.

This investigation deals with the production
and release of hydrogen sulfide from waste sta-
bilization ponds. All experiments were con-
ducted under controlled environmental condi-

were designed to evaluate the relationships
between sulfide concentration in the pond and
four operating characteristics, namely: deten-

The extent of the problem of pollution from ves-
sels has been reviewed and evaluated, and
recommendations for corrective and preventive
action have been developed. All navigable
waters of the United States have been con-
sidered in the study — coastal waters with their
bays, sounds, and inlets and the myriad of
rivers, lakes and canals comprising the Nation's
major inland water resources. This report
represents an initial assessment of the degree
and magnitude of the problem which may be
further refined by future studies. The great
diversity in vessel size. type, usage and operat-

Attempts to measure theological parameters at

founded upon a careful mathematical analysis

The suggestion was made that aeration in the
summer months might aid in reducing the in-
sanitary conditions of a marina during the
yachting season. It was found that at the
beginning of the summer a supersaturated dis-
solved oxygen content appeared in the marina.
In earty July. 1963. compressors .were turned on
the oxygen level was reduced nearer to that of
saturation for the prevailing summer tempera-
tures. Thus, as always has been known, algae
produce oxygen in excess in an attempt to
clarify a stagnant body of water. The water
seemed clearer, and the number of fish in the
lagoon increased. It was concluded that the ad-
ditional air did tend to restore a somewhat
better biological balance which has not been
evident for many years prior to the summer of
1963.

A number of urban factors are relevant to the
problem of defining air quality control region
boundaries. First, the location of population is
an important consideration, since human ac-
tivity is the primary cause of air pollution, and
humans are the ultimate victims. The projected
population growth pattern is another important
consideration, since an air quality control re-
gion should be designed not only for the
present but also for the future. The location of
industrial activity and the political and jurisdic-
tional considerations are important. The re-
ports discussion of urban factors will present
these considerations as they apply to the Puget

The behavior of hygroscopic particles in the at-
mosphere under various humidity conditions
has long been of interest to the field of at-
mospheric science. These particles absorb
water vapor from the atmosphere and dissolve
into droplets at high humidities. The condensa-
tion process is simple and well understood.
However, when the humidity is decreased to a
level lower than the humidity at which the
droplets are formed, the droplets do not readily
give up all the water until a much lower humidi-
ty condition is reached. Often a long waiting
time is required. The mechanism of this process
is closely related to the nucleation process and
it has caused much confusion in the past. This
study was undertaken to reveal some of the
behavior of solution droplets in this region.

pounds of carbon per million gallons of waste
water treated has been removed from the car-

the carbon column influent during the plant
startup resulted in mechanical fouling of the

fouling could be reduced and the carbon dose
decreased.

polar colloidal solids. This research has been
carried out using alumina as a model polar
oxide solid together with well-characterized
sulfonates as the detergent. The effects of
hydrocarbon chain length on sulfonate adsorp-
tion have been studied and two distinct adsorp-
tion mechanisms delineated. The thermo-
dynamics of adsorption have been investigated
by measurement of the heat of immersion of
alumina into aqueous surfactant solutions and
a model for sulfonate adsorption onto a
hydrated alumina surface has been presented.
Studies delineated conditions under which in-
organic electrolytes compete with the adsorp-

evaluating the general health of streams in a
variety of settings and conditions. Keeping in
mind that a stream is a dynamic, quasi-living or-
ganism under the influence of a large number
of ever-changing factors, then the value of
acquiring a key to determine and understand
these changes will be appreciated.

The air pollution characteristics of a model gas
turbine type combustor using methane as fuel
were studied in this investigation. Detailed in-
formation regarding gas compositions at vari-
ous locations within the combustor and direct
measurement of temperature within the com-
bustor were obtained. The essential differences
between air pollution characteristics of gase-
ous and liquid fuels used in the combustor were
investigated. Performances of two nozzles em-
ploying two different gas Injection velocities
were compared. Influence of overall
equivalence ratio on hydrocarbons and CO
emissions was evaluated. Information regard-
ing air flow distribution in the combustor was
obtained. An estimate of the characteristic time
of combustor flow processes was obtained.

The possibility that the diverse responses of
biological materials to photochemical reaction
products results from the differents in free radi-
cal formation during photolysis is consistent
with the nature of the reactions of biochemical
systems. Preliminary observations of the isome-
ric products of oxidation of limonene indicates
that the distribution of the products is a func-
tion of the relative concentrations of the bu-
tene-nitrogen dioxide mixture and that singlet
oxygen was present in the photochemical reac-
tion products of some of the mixtures. Further
exploration of these observations should in-
dicate the contribution of free radicals and/or
singlet oxygen to biological responses, and in
turn assist in the development of valid dose-
response relationships.

is the aerobic biological treatment process. The
two major forms of aerobic treatment for mu-

was given to providing a selection of research
projects and a subject index which would en-
compass this broad subject area in a useful
form. A total of 884 projects which were active
during the FY 1970 and FY 1971 period are in-

A field investigation of the dispersion of a con-
servative tracer was made in a fresh water
reservoir in which the predominant currents are
generated by the wind. The purpose of the in-
vestigation was to examine the current velocity
distribution with depth, the rate of dilution and
the dispersion coefficients for correlation with
such parameters as the surface current velocity
and the wave conditions. Tests were conducted
at three sites of very different geometric
characteristics in Lake Travis near Austin, TX.

The system sodium o-dodecytbenzene sul-

H2O) was chosen for solubility studies to deter-
mine quantitative data concerning the
behavior, in the eutectic freezing process, of a
dissolved organic material in the presence of a
high inorganic salt concentration at low tem-
peratures. The NaCI was chosen for this study
because it is presumed to be the dominant inor-
ganic salt at the eutectic point of sewage. For
the organic component of the ternary system,
the notorious surfactant found in waste water
NaDBS was selected. It was hoped that the data
from this particular ternary system would pro-
vide valuable information on the solubility
phenomenon in waste water and sewage.

Single drops supported on hypodermic tubing
have been studied in a wind tunnel to determine
the effect of drop oscillation on mass transfer.
The systems studied for the case where internal
resistance controls .consisted of absorption of
SO2 gas by drops of glycerine, propylene
glycol, and ethylene glycol. The results can be
expressed in terms of effective diffusivity. The
effect of oscillation.on external mass transfer
coefficients was studied by sublimation of
naphthalene spheres. A technique has been
developed for studying the effect of internal cir-
culation on effective diffusivity, using forced
circulation through a drop suspended on
hypodermic tubing. A 'pseudo-film thickness' is
determined as a function of circulation velocity,
and presents a means of predicting effective
diffusivity. This technique has been demon-
strated for the system SO2-H2O, giving results
in fair agreement with the correlation of Garner
and Lane. (Modified author abstract)

Reservoir. The structure, an earth fill dam with a
gate controlled spillway in a saddle on the left
bank, is to be located at river mile 24.05 on the
Navasota (a tributary of the Brazos River). This
structure is to provide 672,500 acre-feet of con-
servation storage which will have a firm yield of
350 cfs (226 mgd). The prospective needs of the
cities of Bryan, College Station, and Navasota,
for municipal and industrial water supply, were
studied. The municipal and industrial supply
needs of water users in the entire lower Brazos
River Basin were also studied.

Education of Engineers tor Wastewater Treat-

Improved operation can be attained by increas-
ing the quantity and quality of personnel in-
volved and/or by using modern control systems
similar to those currently used in industry. The
need for an increase in the quantity and quality
of personnel is well known. The prospect of im-
proving plant operation through the use of
modern control systems is not as well recog-
nized. Much of the work in this area has been
more concerned with the replacement of per-
sonnel through automation. In .the author's
opinion, the improvement of product quality
which can be obtained by proper control is
equal to or greater in significance than any
reduction in labor costs which may be ob-
tained. This paper is concerned with both the
control systems' which may be used, in plant
operation and the educational needs of en-
gineers responsible for plant operation.

The .report explores means of abating pollution
caused by coal mine drainage and develops
cost estimates. Methods examined are grouped
into those dealing with underground mine
drainage, surface mine drainage, drainage from
refuse and waste disposal areas, and control
and treatment of water in active mining situa-
tions. Costs of remedial measures are listed and
evaluated on a unit price basis. They cover a
period of 33 years from 1933.

The classification of aquatic midge larvae is a
difficult and time-consuming procedure for the
ecologist who may not be familiar with the lan-
guage of the taxonomist. A picture can save
many words and prevent much confusion. The
procedure presented in the report for the
identification of larvae of the family
Chironomidae to genus is based solely on
drawings of the labial plates. These should be
an aid to the beginning taxonomist until he
develops the expertise to utilize the formal
literature for more definitive identification.

During the past 50 years over 20 commissions
or committees have looked into national water
policies and problems. Some were composed
of personnel of the executive branch of Govern-

from both branches of the Government and
from the public at large. Some were established
by Presidential directive while others came into
being as a result of congressional action. All
were composed of men having a sincere in-

either Federal, State, or local. The Legislative

In addition to furnishing quantitative informa-
tion showing water use, water availability, and
amount of storage which will be required to
maintain certain rates of riverflow, the report
identifies and discusses water problems in six
major areas;. namely, supply, variability, dis-
tribution, natural quality, manmade pollution,
and floods. The report indicates that almost
every part of the United States faces current or
potential water problems. The present water
use of about 250 billion gallons of fresh water a
day is estimated to reach about 600 billion gal-
lons a day by 1980. However, less than a third of
the water used at present is consumed, and
with proper attention to pollution abatement
the same water can be used over and over
again. With a manageable supply of water of
1,160 billion gallons a day, the presently known
problems can in general be solved, although
some of the solutions may be costly. The report
concludes with the finding that the United
States has an adequate water supply if properly
managed.

A major problem.of bacteriology has been the
development of rapid, accurate techniques of
isolating, identifying, and counting organisms
in water, air, and food. The authors of this paper
have undertaken a series of controlled experi-
ments in the United States to develop and apply
techniques employing a membrane filter for
this purpose with water. The results reported
promise a substantial reduction in the time.
labor, and space required for specified phases
of bacteriological analysis and. at the same
time, they indicate a likelihood that these
techniques will be more certain and precise in
results than methods now in use. These experi-
ments have a particular significance for the hy-
gienic aspects of waterworks operations.

A report was called for containing a summary of
new technical developments, including but not
limited to weather modification, evaporation
and evapo-transpiration, desalination of saline
and brackish waters, seepage control, waste
water salvage, and the application of nuclear
energy, as these techniques are likely to affect
the planning of river basin development and fu-
ture river management in the United States. The
contract called for an evaluation of possible ef-
fects of such techniques on the manner of com-
prehensive river basin planning and on multi-
ple-purpose river management, and for sug-
gestions as to actions that might be taken to
hasten or otherwise aid future application of
beneficial new technology to comprehensive
river development and water conservation. The
report furnished under the contract presents a
survey of comprehensive, multiple-purpose
water development as it is expected to be
needed in the future.

With all indications pointing toward our present
rate of water withdrawals increasing as much
as threefold by 1980 and possibly by six times
by the year 2000, the essentiality of improving
our techniques for waste water salvage and
reuse becomes apparent. A report has been
prepared on technical means of improving
water supplies and utilization in the United
States by means of waste water salvage and
other methods. The report was to cover, but not
necessarily be limited to, reuse of sewage ef-
fluent, underground storage of water, and im-
proved methods of ground water discovery.

One of the principal requirements for water in
the future is for the dilution of effluent resulting
from the treatment of municipal sewage and in-
dustrial wastes which are disposed of in our
rivers. It was necessary for use in the overall
water supply-demand study that quantitative
data be obtained as to the requirements for
overflows for pollution abatement at various
levels of waste treatment. Shortcut methods
were developed for approximating dilution
water requirements as a supplemental measure
for control of water quality in rivers, and these
methods have been used to provide estimates
of water requirements for pollution abatement
for use in the committee's supply-demand stu-
dies. The method is a new one and is highly
complex. It is based on extrapolations of
methods heretofore used only for dealing with
pollution loads in short reaches of river.

Solutions have been obtained for the disper-

from a point source in a non-uniform flow of
ground water. Variation of soil properties and
velocity along the flow modifies the maximum
concentration at each cross section, while
transverse variation of velocity causes a lateral
shift of the trail of contaminant, and destroys
the symmetry of concentration distribution at a
cross section. The contaminant of a well by
dispersion is used as an example of application.

Although the report deals primarily with
research needs involved in the fields of agricul-

deemed necessary have also been referred to in
reports received from other agencies as being
essential in their respective fields of water
management and control. The report indicates

As a means of summarizing and bringing up to
date information on recent progress in the field
of desalination, the Department of the Interior
prepared a report on an evaluation of recent ef-
forts in the field of desalinization of brackish
and ocean waters. In addition, a request was
made of the Atomic-Energy Commission for a
report on the most recent developments in the
field of application of nuclear energy for
desalinization purposes by means of combining
nuclear reactors for the production of electric
energy with desalinization plants, since this ap-
pears to be one of the most promising areas for
developing an economical process.

The Bureau of Reclamation believes that the in-
creasing needs for food and fiber and for new
economic opportunities will require the
greatest practical acreage of land in the West
that can be reasonably and economically ir-
rigated. The Bureau indicates that the develop-
ment of the full physical irrigation potential of
the West will never be realized because of fac-
tors such as excessive cost, competition by
other uses for the limited supply of water, lack
of local interest, and legal and other limitations
on what we can do with water which will always
preclude some potential development. With
these limitations, however, the Bureau believes
that about 75 percent of the potential Federal
projects and 90 percent of the non-Federal pro-
jects could be developed by the year 2000.

No one can predict accurately just what the rate
of growth of the United States will be. Methods
for projecting past trends have been developed
by which projections can be made under vari-
ous assumptions. The Resources for the Future
population projections for the United States
range from 225 million to 278 million in 1980,
and from 267 million to 431 million in the year
2000. Along with these population projections
Resources for the Future estimated that our
gross national product, currently at about the
$500 billion level, would reach to between $960
billion and $1,260 billion in 1980, and the
Federal Reserve Board index of industrial
production would increase from 134 in 1958, to
between 303 and 437 in 1980. This index is
based on levels prevailing in 1947-49 as equal
to 100. Middle ranges of these projections were
adopted as the basis for studies for the commit-
tee. For 1980. this contemplated a population of
244 million, gross national product of $1,060
billion, and an index of industrial production of
355. It is recognized, of course, that many fac-
tors not now determinable will affect these esti-
mates.

supplies that can potentially be developed by
. storage. Basic water problems are related to
provision of the proper quantity and quality of
water in places needed at the times needed.
The report therefore deals with the basic physi-
cal problems of providing necessary facilities
for storage and treatment of water, quantity
being controlled by storage and quality being
controlled by treatment The report develops
relationships between the amount of treatment
and the storage required to meet needs in 1980
and 2000. and lays out several broad potential
programs for meeting the Nation's needs
through either a minimum storage program, a
minimum treatment program, or through a

over and over again in many areas and that we
are rapidly running out of clean water. Thus the
management of water resources presents a
problem of the first magnitude. It includes with

The area in the field of evapo-transpiration
reduction which shows promise of yielding the
most immediate water savings is the reduction
of losses from phreatophytic and hydrophytic
plants along western streams. These are plants
which have their roots in the groundwater or
which grow which result in the transpiration of
large amounts of water into the atmosphere.
The report on phreatophytic and hydrophytic
plants along western streams indicates that
nonbeneficial phreatophytes hi the 17 Western
States cover nearly 16 million acres and that
they may discharge from 20 million to 25 million
acre-feet of 'water into the atmosphere an-
nually. The report discusses methods which are
being used to control phreatophytes and the
need for future research in the field of water use
by phreatophytes, and the hope is expressed
that as much as one-quarter of the total esti-
mated savings can be accomplished by 1980
and one-half by the year 2000.

in demand for and decreases in availability of
our fish and wildlife resources and explains the
impact which many water-use projects have on
these resources. The present and projected
water requirements for fish and wildlife are
given, including those for our inland sports
fisheries, for wildlife habitat, and for our com-
mercial fisheries which are based in tidal estua-

light of the fact that it appears that overall flood
damages appear to be increasing more rapidly
than it has been possible to reduce them by
construction of control works. The Corps of En-
gineers suggests that the Federal flood control
program could be improved by expanding the
present program to encompass provisions
designed to encourage regulation of the use of
the flood plains and to preserve important
reservoir sites for future use. Suggestions are
also made for more effective coordination of all
activities affecting the development, use. and
conservation of the water resources of major
river basins, and for the elimination of dif-
ferences in basic policies between the pro-
grams of Federal agencies on such matters as
cost sharing and procedures for authorization

The use of water for agricultural purposes is the
largest consumptive use of water in the United
States, even though in recent years withdrawals
of water for industrial purposes exceed those
for irrigation. Generally, over half of the water
withdrawn for irrigation is consumed by
evaporation and transpiration, while lesj than a
tenth of the water withdrawn for industrial pur-
poses is consumed. Therefore, in view of the in-
creasing trend to irrigation in the humid areas
of the country as a means of increasing crop
yields, irrigated agriculture may well be signifi-
cant. The Department of Agriculture has con-
sidered the land and water potentials of the
United States and made projections of future
requirements for low, medium, and high levels
of population in 1980 and 2000, with estimates
of how these requirements may be divided
among the several water resource regions into
which the committee staff has divided the

. A report is presented for the committee cover-
ing present and projected future use of water
for municipal purposes in the United States for
the years 1980 and 2000. The report prepared
by the Public Health Service shows that from a
recorded figure of 162/3 billion gallons per day
in 1954, with per capita use of 147 gallons, an-
ticipated water use from municipal systems in
the continental United States, under assumed
medium rates of population growth, may be
conservatively projected to 29 billion gallons a
day in 1980, and to 43 billion gallons a day in
the year 2000. Under assumptions calling for a
high rate of population increase, this water use
is projected to about 33 billion gallons per day
in 1980 and 58 billion gallons per day by 2000,
at slightly lower per capita rates. The report
goes on to point out that if certain stimulants of
municipal use continue to occur, these figures
may increase to as high as 43 billion gallons a
day in 1980 and 88 billion gallons a day in the
year 2000, with per capita use of 185 gallons per

Galveston Bay is the largest, the most used, and
the most productive bay on the Texas Gulf
Coast. Continued municipal, industrial, and
agricultural developments around Galveston
Bay, as well as the diversion of fresh waters, will
seriously affect the quality of the Bay waters
and the regional development around the Bay
unless remedial action is undertaken. To evalu-
ate alternative measures for maintaining a
suitable quality, it is necessary to immediately
undertake a study project which has as its
major objectives the determination of the func-
tional relationships between incremental levels
of water quality, the cost of achieving these
levels, and the benefits that may be associated
with each of the alternatives. To accomplish
these objectives, certain basic studies must be
made on the Bay system.

An activated sludge culture was developed
which would operate at a steady state condi-
tion. At steady state the environment of the or-
ganisms remains essentially constant over a de-
tention period. Numerous attempts were made
to develop an environment which would main-
tain a relatively steady state condition for an ac-
tivated sludge system. In no case was it possi-
ble to maintain an environment in which the
mass of activated sludge would remain con-
stant over an indefinite period of time. In the
most successful systems, the activated sludge
suspended solids varied as much as five per-
cent from one detention period to the next.

observe the removal rates of these organics in
terms of the laboratory and field parameters in
use today; to show that the summation of the
COD removals of each of the compounds alone,
results in the overall COD removal of a treat-
ment unit containing a mixture of the organics
in the same initial concentrations; and, to ob-
serve the removal of these simple compounds
by two types of microbial population, filamen-

The objectives of this research were to in-
vestigate the role of the environmental,
biochemical or other factors responsible for the
occurrence of phasic or concurrent assimila-
tion of two competing substrates;.to obtain
basic information necessary for formulation of
mathematical models describing the kinetics of
assimilation of the competing substrates; .and
to identify the probable cellular mechanisms
that regulate the pattern (sequential or concur-
rent) of substrate assimilation.

The purpose of this report is to: review the na-
ture and magnitude of problems of abating in-
dustrial pollution of water:. identify, describe
and evaluate reasonable and possible alterna-
tive measures for providing financial and other
appropriate incentives, including the role of
state and local governments, to encourage in-
dustrial pollution abatement; evaluate existing
incentive programs in local, state or in the
Federal government aimed at encouraging in-
dustrial pollution abatement; and discuss and
evaluate alternative measures for more effec-
tive control with special attention to possible
incentives for cooperation by public agencies
and private corporations in an'effective control
program. An additional alternative to be con-
sidered is the potentiality of control under com-
mon and statutory law; the study will survey and
evaluate the adequacy of the law on industrial
pollution control.

Grant PHS-WP-00658
Descriptors: 'Flocculating.
The purpose of this investigation was to identify
the major parameters of significance in
orthokinetic flocculation and to express their
interrelationship in the form of a rate equation.
Theoretical equations expressing the rate of
flocculation of a polydispersed system were
developed from the Smoluchowski equation
and other considerations. The progress of floc-
culation in a series of continuous stirred-tank
reactors was simulated by repeated computer
application of the basic Smoluchowski equa-
tion and the computed floe size distributions
compared with those predicted by the theoreti-
cally derived equations. The flocculation of
kaolin by alum was experimentally studied in a
laboratory-scale reactor and the results com-
pared with those predicted by the integrated
rate equation after substitution of parameters
susceptible to laboratory measurement.

An evaluation is made of three computational

models are applicable on a micro-scale to the
material transport in shear flows such as found
near the surface in water bodies subject to wind
stress. The three algorithms correspond to the
explicit, implicit, and characteristic methods of
solving the conventional parabolic differential
equation normally used to represent dispersion

This report describes a technique for concen-
trating traces of oxygenated organic corn-
pounds in air. The method depends upon the
use of a 0.125 by 6-inch copper tube filled with
an ordinary gas chromatographic column
packing. When a sample of approximately 1000
ml of polluted air is pumped through the tube
with a rubber aspirator bulb, a sufficient quanti-
ty of pollutants is absorbed for subsequent de-
tection and identification by gas chromatog-
raphy with a hydrogen flame detector. The limit
of sensitivity is estimated to be about 5 ng/l.

nitric oxide in combustion processes occuring
under conditions similar to those found in prac-
tice. At the same time, development of a reac-
tion mechanism and chemical kinetic calcula-
tion technique capable of accurately predicting
formation rates of nitric oxide has been at-
tempted. Ultraviolet absorption techniques
were used to directly record the time rate of for-
mation of nitric oxide in the immediate vicinity
of a flame front propagating through a high
pressure combustion vessel. Hydrogen and
propane were used as fuels. The oxidizer was

A survey of process wastes resulting from

Plant at Dearborn, Ml., was undertaken. The
survey covered the period from October 23
through November 3.1949 and was carried out
for the purpose of collecting detailed informa-
tion regarding the wastes produced by this
plant. Coal was carbonized in coke ovens for
production of blast furnace and foundry coke.
Coking conditions during this survey were ab-
normal in that coking temperatures for produc-
tion of blast furnace coke were from 350-400F.
lower than normal, while coking time had been
doubled. This was necessitated by a coal
shortage due to a strike In the coal fields. Gas
and liquor evolved in the process are treated for
recovery of by-products, which include am-

The power industry is widely recognized as a
major source of air pollution. In the presenta-
tion on status of emission regulations and con-
trol technology, separate treatment is given to
the three major pollutants: particulates (and
visible emissions), SOx, and NOx. Some control
processes, however, affect more than one pol-
lutant; this is recognized when appropriate.

Increases in population, an expected three per-
cent annual per capita solid waste generation
factor, and more stringent air and water pollu-
tion regulations could rapidly shift solid waste
management toward efficiently operated mu-
nicipal incinerators. Another increasingly
evident economic consideration is one of urban
land use. The Little incinerator inventory
identified most, if not all, of the municipal
systems now operating or under construction
in the United States.

In 1968, an estimated 9,600,000 tons of nitrogen
oxides were emitted from stationary sources.
The manufacture of nitric acid generated emis-
sions of approximately 150,000 tons of NOx .6%
of the total NOx emitted from stationary
sources. Though emissions from nitric acid
plants do not account for a major proportion of
NOx on a nationwide basis, large individual
plants can be large point sources of this pollu-
tant. Approximately 50% of this emission will
usually be in the form of nitrogen dioxide, a
very visible reddish-brown colored gas. Most
new plants utilize catalytic combustion devices
to decrease operating costs and to reduce NOx

According to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, there
are over 180 cement manufacturing plants now
in operation in tha United States. The growth
rate of the cement industry has increased regu-
larly since World War II. Producers are still un-
certain about long-range prospects for the in-
dustry but generally are optimistic. In a cement
plant the initial materials are dust and the end
product is a fine dust. Other types of pollution
from a cement plant include gaseous emissions
from the combustion of fuel in the kiln. Most of
the sulfur dioxide formed from the sulfur in the
fuel is recovered because it combines with the
alkalies and also with the lime when the alkali
fume is low.

The monograph portrays the social nature of
environmental hazards in an American
metropolis. It is concerned with air pollution in
Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The hazard
is compared with airplane noise, brush fires,
floods, and slides; to indicate the manner in
which air pollution is related to urban popula-
tion, social organization and technology. The
work provides a framework for the analysts of
environmental hazards, and explores their
meaning for urban life. The report is an initial
attempt to describe the interrelations of urban
environmental hazards and the social life of the
metropolis.

The objectives of this study were to develop
rapid and accurate analytical methods for the
determination of nitrate and sulfate in at-
mospheric paniculate samples, and to compare
the new methods developed with current spec-
trophotometric methods for nitrate and sulfate.
An Orion nitrate electrode is used to measure
nitrate leached from High Volume filter sam-
ples. A sultate procedure was developed using
a lead precipitation technique and measuring
the excess lead ion with an Orion lead elec-
trode. Increased sensitivity was obtained by ad-
ding an equal volume of methyl cellosolve
acetate (MCA) to the High Volume filter ex-
tracts. Studies on leaching the sulfate or nitrate
from the High Volume filter samples were per-
formed. The techniques and results are re-
ported. The recommended procedures for
nitrate and sulfate analysis are appended to this
report.

The report gives the results of an investigation
of kinetic mechanisms governing the fate of
chemically bound nitrogen and sulfur in com-

detailed computer simulations of reaction
schemes considered to be relevant. The
problem areas examined included the role of
pyrolysis, mathematical modeling of a turbulent
diffusion flame, kinetic mechanisms of NO for-
mation and NO reduction, and kinetic
mechanisms of the oxidation of SO2 to SO3.
The report tentatively answers some of these
questions, either from the literature survey or
from the results of the computer simulations.
The insights gained may lead to control of air

The study was primarily of an experimental na-

results of applying existing automotive emis-
sion control techniques to aircraft piston en-
gines. Attention was restricted to the emissions
of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide,
and oxides iof nitrogen. Control techniques
considered were those primarily used to reduce
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, since the
rich mixtures normally used in aircraft opera-
tion inherently lead to low levels of oxides of
nitrogen. The general program approach was to
select two typical engine configurations, design
and implement selected emission control provi-
sions, establish baseline emissions outputs for
the standard engines, and determine the effect
of the various emission control techniques and
systems relative to the baseline values. A Con-
tinental 0-200 carbureted engine and a Lycom-
ing IO-540 fuel-injection engine were selected
for evaluation. The report describes the control
approaches selected and tests conducted.
Results are presented and discussed. Pertinent

The National Emissions Data System (NEDS)
was designed by the Environmental Protection
Agency to be a central repository for all emis-
sions inventory data. Since the inception of
NEDS, the major concern of EPA has been the
accumulation of an acceptable data base. After
the Oregon state inventory data were converted
to NEDS format, the NEDS inventory and the
Oregon inventory did not correlate. This report
describes the development and implementation
of a computer program which could read the
Oregon data files and convert the data present
to a format acceptable for input to the NEDS
system. The methodology used to develop this
program is presented. Much of the data
required some degree of conversion. A discus-
sion is included of each of three tables used by
the program to convert the data which could
not be used directly. The purpose of each pro-
gram is described and a system flow chart is il-
lustrated. This program gives the state the
capability of producing their inventory in NEDS
format to meet any requirements from EPA.

The report gives results of a study of the ab-
sorption of SO2 from an SO2/N2 gas mixture
into water and lime solutions and slurries (in a
short wetted wall column at approximately 1 at-
mosphere and 25C). The mole per cent of SO2
in the gas was varied from 0.03 to 0.37. In solu-
tions of calcium hydroxide greater than 0.01 g
mole/liter and in slurries, the system appeared
to be gas absorption accompanied by an
'infinitely' rapid irreversible second-order reac-
tion in the liquid phase. The only effect of the
solid in the slurries was to increase the absorp-
tion capacity. In water, the system appeared to
be gas absorption accompanied by a fast rever-
sible hydrolysis reaction in the liquid phase.
The major resistance to gas absorption at these
concentration levels was found to be in the gas
phase. At the lowest concentrations studied,
the system was gas-phase controlled.

Emissions reduction for diesel engines can be
approached either directly by exploratory test-
ing or indirectly by using a mathematical model
to predict low-emission modifications. The em-
pirical approach suffers from excessive costs
and limited extrapolations from given engines;
at the same time, theoretical predictions are too
uncertain to use alone because of lack of un-
derstanding of the diesel combustion
mechanism. The two approaches are comple-
mentary and should be pursued together. The
authors have established a foundation for a
mechanistic model by four activities: emissions
data was generated and correlated with
changes in engine parameters; existing models
were critically assessed; a mechanistic model
of heat release was outlined and an analysis of
key questions was begun;.and diesel flame
measurements were conceived which can
resolve modeling issues and thereby insure that
model development will be cost effective.

organic fraction of urban refuse. Shredded
domestic refuse from which the inorganic frac-
tion was separated was used as a substrate.
Raw sewage sludge was added to the substrate
in proportion to the rate at which it is produced
by a population producing a given quantity of
refuse. The quantity and quality of gas
produced, the rate of gas production, the solids
reduction, nutritional requirements, and
operating problems were evaluated in a labora-

from 35C to 60C. The results of the laboratory
study together with published data on both
capital and operating costs of refuse shredding,
refuse separation, reactor volume, reactor mix-
ing, reactor heating, and residue dewatering
were used to analyze the economics of the
process. (Modified author abstract)

Techniques were developed for sampling
undisturbed sediment interface, and measuring
oxygen uptake by intact sediment cores,
dehydrogenase activity of sediment bacteria,
and metabolic heat release by benthic organ-
isms. Laboratory experiments were conducted
to determine the relationship between oxygen
uptake, loss of carbon, and release of silicate,
nitrate, ammqnia, and phosphate by sediments.
The oxygen consumption at 33 stations in
Puget Sound was measured each season to
provide baseline data for this estuary. The
original working hypothesis, that total oxygen
uptake represents a measure of total metabol-
ism in the sediment column appears erroneous,
at least in organically rich sediment where
anaerobic metabolism may greatly exceed
aerobic metabolism.

A trickling filter sewage treatment plant was
designed and constructed in the Borough of
New Providence, New Jersey to alleviate local
sewage treatment plant hydraulic overloading
and resultant loss of treatment efficiency
caused by excessive infiltration. The plant uses
two high rate trickling filters, one with rock
media, the other with plastic media, operating
in parallel to treat wet weather flow. During dry
weather periods the plant is operated in series
with a controlled flow to maintain an active
biological slime on the filters. The plant also
consists of a primary clarifier-leveling reservoir,
secondary clarifier and chlorine contact tank.
This investigation has shown that it is both
technically feasible and economical to design,
construct and operate a treatment plant to
process both the controlled dry weather flow
and the higher flows encountered during
periods of excessive infiltration using a com-
bination of series-parallel high rate trickling fil-
ters.

An electrodialysis procedure is developed
whereby the discharge of rinsewater is
eliminated. The final rinse contains a concen-
tration of cyanide of 1 /10,000 of that of the plat-
ing. These concentrations are maintained by
the use of electrodialysis to transport cyanides
continuously from the second rinse solution
back to the first rinse solution and also from the
first rinse back to the plating bath. In this way,
all cyanide is recovered and returned to the
bath. Design parameters are determined, and
costs are estimated. The experimental system
used in this study was a prototype of a commer-
cial size electrodialysis unit operated continu-
ously under conditions which simulated those
of the projected two-stage commercial system

This study deals with a proposed scheme for
restoration and maintenance of dissolved ox-
ygen in the hypolimnion of stratified impound-
ments without disturbing the stratification. The
characteristics of a bubble-water plume, as
used in hypolimnion ae.ation, were studied.
The major factor introduced in the study of
these characteristics was the effect of mass
transfer. A mathematical model was developed
for this case and compared with a mathematical
model which neglects the effect of mass
transfer. The model calculates the diameter of
the bubble, the diameter of the plume, the
velocity of plume rise, the water flow rate, and
the momentum and energy flux for the rising
plume at any level above the diff user. It also cal-
culates the amount of oxygen absorbed at any
level and the increase of the dissolved oxygen
concentration in the plume for any oxygen flow
rate. (Modified author abstract)

The study deals with a proposed scheme for
restoration and maintenance of dissolved ox-
ygen in the hypolimnion of stratified impound-
ments without disturbing the stratification. A
mathematical model was developed for predict-
ing the gas transfer characteristics of a bubble
plume within an impoundment. Particular at-
tention was given to evaluation of the gas
transfer coefficient as a function of bubble size.
Tables were compiled from the calibrated
model. These tables predict the oxygen absorp-
tion characteristics which can be expected for
various field situations. (Modified author ab-

The Harriman Utility Board and the Mead Cor-
poration made a study of the joint treatment of
primary clarified domestic waste and neutral
sulfite semichemicai (NSSC) pulp and paper
mill wastes. The most effective treatment
scheme consisted of a biofilter (used as a
roughing filter) and an extended aeration
system. Color reduction was accomplished by
massive lime and chlorine additions due to the
color's dependency on pH. Disinfection was op-
timum when ammonia was mixed with the com-
bined wastes prior to chlorination. The
biofilter's BOD removal efficiency ranged from
3 to 45%. Extended aeration's BOD removal ef-
ficiency ranged from 24 to 98%. (Modified

New full scale equipment and modification to
the existing standard waste treatment equip-
ment were installed at the Swift & Company
modern, high-volume, edible fat and oil refining
plant at Bradley, Illinois, complete with neces-
sary controls and instrumentation to study
methods for removing and upgrading the fatty
materials for resale. An in-plant survey was
conducted. The waste streams were charac-
terized as to source, flow rate, and either solu-
bles, suspended solids and BOD content.
Synthetic acrylamide polymers were laboratory
tested as flocculants in combination mainly
with alum for plant waste water clarification.
Cathodic protection devices and impressed
current successfully controlled corrosion and
build-up of solids on the walls of the existing
Skimmer and Air Flotation Units. A DeLaval PX-
213 bowl opening, disc stack, centrifuge was
tested to concentrate and upgrade the removed
fatty materials after caustic and sulfuric acid
treatment. An overall economic evaluation in-
dicated 7000 pounds of oil recovered would off-
set 60% of the total daily direct operating costs
for the waste treatment system, including the
oil reclaiming system. (Modified author ab-

One of the key considerations in selecting a
system of solid waste management is the rela-
tive costs of the available alternative systems.
This report was prepared in order to provide
public officials and solid waste management
planners with information upon which they can
base estimated costs of operating a rural
transfer system as well as a modified landfill
system. The suggested, estimating techniques
are compatible and permit comparison of the
estimated costs of these two alternative
management systems. The experience of the
Lane County, Oregon Solid Waste Division pro-
vided the basis for development of the cost esti-
mating techniques outlined in this report.

Alabama is one of the last jurisidications to
retain common law pleading and to maintain
separate courts for law and equity; thus any
new legal theory presents difficulties not en-
countered in states with more liberal systems of
procedure. The Alabama legal system not only
makes the processing of claims more difficult
than in other systems but it presents special
hazards and barriers in pleading new theories,
as is done in environmental litigation which
donot fit the ancient forms of action. Chapter 1
discusses Commission procedures;.Chapter 2
concerns the role of the Commission as coor-
dinator of the state program; chapter 3
discusses the theoretical problems of pleading
in air pollution enforcement suits in Alabama:
chapter 4 presents form complaints for initia-
tion of court actions: chapter 5 presents a form
complaint and supporting affidavits drawn to il-
lustrate enforcement of the Commission's or-
ders in an air pollution emergency situation;
chapter 6 presents a ready reference index of
the various violations and types of enforcement

Simple Collection and assay of NO and NO2
using solid chemical absorbents was proven
feasible. The selective collection of these ox-
ides is possible with a tandem arrangement of
two absorbent cartridges: The first, containing
triethanolamine hydrochloride packing,
completely absorbs NO2 from the' air sample
without affecting the NO concentration. The
second, filled with cobalt oxide packing, quan-
titatively removes NO. These collected oxides
are later eluted and analyzed separately. The in-
terface devide developed to transfer the sample
for analysis accepts one collector cartridge and
heats it to a temperature which releases the
nitrogen oxide. When cooled the collector car-
tridges are ready for reuse in sample collection.
The identification and characterization of solid
chemical absorbents, their evaluations, and in-
terference studies are described. Additional ex-
perimental techniques and data analysis is
presented. A weatherproof collection system
was built for field collection. Recommendations
for further work are detailed.

This paper reports a comprehensive study of
the state-of-the-art of dairy wastes, their con-
trol and treatment, both from the point of view
of past literature and current industrial
knowledge and practice. The dairy industry has
only limited knowledge of the Biological Ox-
ygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen De-
mand (COD) of its waste waters. BOD-COD rela-
tionships are reviewed together with available
knowledge on all aspects of waste composition.
Sources and control of in-plant wastes are
presented. Detergents and sanitizers contribute
to the BOD load, to refractory COD and to the
toxicity of some dairy food plant wastes.
Problems of shock loading, whey, cottage
cheese wash water and the presence of surfac-
tants appear to contribute to the difficulty of
continuing efficient dairy food plant waste

The report gives results of an experimental
study of the pressurized combustion of coal in a
fluidized bed of limestone and regeneration of
sulfated limestone. The study is part of a pro-
gram to develop fluidized-bed coal combustion
as a means of desulfurizing flue gas in-situ and
generating clean power at low cost. The
process, including regeneration of spent
limestone by reduction to lime, produces a gas
stream containing a sufficient concentration of
SO2 to be fed to a by-product sulfur recovery
unit. Initial SO2 removal rates were about 85%.
The regeneration step was studied at pressures
up to 10 atm and temperatures up to 2100F.
High conversion of sulfated material to lime
was achieved by injecting air into the bed, by
forming adjacent reducing and oxidizing zones,
and by minimizing formation of undesired CaS.

was accomplished by conventional clarifica-

of mixed liquor concentration, particle shape,
particle density and seasonal variation (i.e.,

for 10 days in mid-November. The sampling in-
volved continuous monitoring of the
meteorological1 conditions and the gas-phase
composition of the air concomitant with col-

tion due to light scattering. Samplers were
equipped with size-fractionating devices which
provided particle separation near 2 um diame-

A detailed procedural description of a
technique for the dynamic calibration of am-
bient air monitors for ozone, nitric oxide, and
nitrogen dioxide is presented. A gas phase titra-
tion technique utilizing the rapid gas phase
reaction between nitric oxide and ozone is used
in such a manner that, with the concentration of
one of the three gases known, the concentra-
tions of the other two are determined. Ozone is
added to excess nitric oxide in the dynamic
calibration system, and a chemiluminescent
nitric oxide monitor is used as an indicator of
changes in concentration. The decrease ob-
served on the spanned nitric oxide monitor
upon addition of ozone is equivalent to the con-
centration of nitric oxide consumed, the con-
centration of ozone added and the nitrogen
dioxide' concentration produced. The ad-
vantages of the procedure are that a primary
standard for only one of the gases is required
and that rapid and routine calibrations of
ozone, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide moni-
tors may be performed at a common manifold.

naphthol as a model compound, in vitro
methods were developed to study mechanisms
of glycosylation in insects and mammals. The
glucosides of 4- and 5-hydroxy carbaryl were
prepared chemically and their acute toxicity to
mice compared to the aglycones. Results of
these studies showed that carbamate insecti-

and oxidative-type reactions and the resulting
products are then almost totally conjugated.
These conjugated products constitute the
majority of the terminal residues of carbamates
in both animals and plants.

This volume is the third in a series on standards
of performance for asphalt concrete plants,
petroleum refineries, storage vessels for
petroleum liquids, secondary lead smelters,
brass and bronze ingot production plants, iron
and steel plants, and sewage treatment plants.
The first two volumes gave background infor-
mation and the data base for the proposed
standards. This volume presents the promul-
gated standards and the rationale for any
changes that were made, with particular atten-
tion to the problems of opacity and dilution air.
Major comments received during the period for
public comment are discussed where ap-
propriate and are summarized with Agency
responses in the appendix. The appendix also
contains a list of commentators, new data for
asphalt concrete plants, revised economic
analyses for asphalt concrete plants and
petroleum refineries, and errata for Volumes 1
and 2. (Author)

The purpose of this contract was to test and
evaluate instrumentation based on specified
measurement principles selected for the Re-
gional Air Pollution Study (RAPS). The primary
objective of the program was to equip an ex-
perimental trailer with selected instrumentation
and to evaluate these instruments at a non-
urban site to: determine if the monitors
selected for the study can meet the required
performance specifications or need to be
modified; determine the operating environment
needed to obtain optimum performance from
these monitors; evaluate the latest calibration
techniques and select calibration procedures to
provide the most reliable measurements; .and
recommend, based on the results of the evalua-
tion program, instrumentation for use in the
RAPS program. Instrumentation for the mea-
surement of ozone, sulfur compounds (sulfur
dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, total sulfur), nitric
oxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons (total
hydrocarbon, methane. non-methane
hydrocarbon) and carbon monoxide in ambient
air were included in the program. (Modified

Several physical models which simulate the im-
pact of emissions and meteorology on the crea-
tion and dispersion of photochemical smog
have been developed. This paper explores
'repro-modeling.' the analysis and replication
of the input/output characteristics of the
model. A study of the application of repro-
modeling to the SA1 model developed for the
Los Angeles Basin is described. The major ob-
jectives of the study were threefold: (1) a feasi-
bility test of the repro-modeling approach; <2) a
limited interpretation of the implications of the
model; and (3) an efficient repro-modet pro-
gram which'duplicates input/output relation-
ships of the original model. The repro-model
developed is analyzed in a particular applica-
tion context (i.e., transportation emission con-
trol policy evaluation) and its general implica-
tions are discussed. Examples of use of the
repro-model, which requires orders of mag-
nitude less computer time than the original
model, are provided.

A national inventory of the sources and emis-

ducted. The study included the preparation of
an overall material flow chart depicting the
quantities of phosphorus moving from sources
of mining and importation through all
processing and reprocessing steps to ultimate
use and final disposition. All major sources of
phosphorus-containing emissions were
identified and their phosphorus emissions into
the atmosphere estimated. A regional break-
down of these sources and their emissions was
also provided. The physical and chemical na-
ture of the phosphorus-containing emissions
was delineated to the extent that information
was available, and a methodology for updating

The report gives results of a hypothetical study
of marketing abatement H2SO4 from S02
removal and acid production facilities assumed
to be installed at selected TVA coal-burning
steam plants. The net return to TVA is deter-
mined by assigning a zero dollar value for the
acid at the steam plants, computing the trans-
portation cost of shipping the acid to existing
acid producers, and selling to the existing acid
producers at their avoidable manufacturing
cost. From an approximate 18,000 MW coal-
burning power generation capacity in the TVA
system, about 10,000 MW was considered for
H2SO4 production and about two million tons
of H2S04 per year would be produced. Assum-
ing that TVA would be the only utility producing
abatement acid, a net sales revenue of about $5
to $9 per ton was indicated. The computer
model developed for the study can be ex-
panded to include other U.S. utilities. Such an
expansion of the study is suggested.

In the metal finishing industry highly concen-

extensively to deoxidize aluminum surfaces
prior to anodizing, conversion 'coatings,
prepaint preparation, welding and adhesive
bonding. A regeneration process was con-
ceived and tested to reduce the frequency of
discarding the spent chromated deoxidizers.
The engineering techniques developed in this
project involve reoxidation of trivalent chromi-
um to the hexavalent state by electrolysis thru a
diaphragm plus removal of undesirable dis-
solved metals by crystallization and separation.
Results of the accomplished work establish that
regeneration of chromated aluminum deox-
idizers is feasible, practical and economical.

A system has been developed for recovering
spilled oil from water surfaces under a wide
variety of environmental conditions and for all
types of oils. The system is designed to recover
oil at rates up to 9,000 gal./hr. The system is
based on the use of polyurethane foam, foamed
on the job site, as a sorbent for the spilled oil.
The foam is recirculated to increase efficiency
and to lower unit costs. Equipment needed in-
cludes collection booms, and open-mesh
chain-link belt for harvesting the oil-soaked
sorbent, and a roller-wringer to remove oil and
water from the foam. The foam is initially com-
minuted and distributed onto the water by
means of a hay blower (mulcher), and recycled
foam is distributed by an open-throat centrifu-
gal blower. Recovered oil and water are trans-
ported to shore in large fabric bags for further

Bulking or nonsettling activated sludge has in-
termittently disrupted operation of sewage
treatment plants for years. One of the most
common causes of bulking is the proliferation
of filamentous growth. The establishment of
filamentous growth is generally believed to be
caused by conditions under which the filamen-
tous organism propagates as fast or faster then
the more desirable spherical aerobic (floe form-
ing) bacteria. This work describes the use of
H202 in laboratory and pilot activated sludge
systems to eliminate filamentous growth. The

chlorine resistant bioindicalor. The presently
used indicator organisms and the reported
chlorine resistance of wastewater organisms
are reviewed. Wastewater effluents were
chlorinated to a free chlorine residual and
plated on various media at different tempera-
tures. Surviving organisms were collected for
further study. With this procedure the most
chlorine osensitive organisms were eliminated
from consideration. Pure cultures of 135 iso-
lates were collected in this manner. A yeast and
two different acid-fast bacteria were shown to
be resistant to chlorination at levels considered
necessary for the inactivation of pathogens, in-
cluding viruses.

The report describes the work performed to
develop an eyesafe CW lidar for remote mea-

industrial smoke stacks. The analysis, design,
construction, and evaluation of a laboratory
model CW lidar were performed to determine
the limitations and potential of the technique.
The proof-of-principle experiments combine
what is called an FM-CW radar technique with
an argon laser. The technique involves modu-
lating the intensity of the laser beam at a
frequency that changes rapidly and linearly
with time. A portion of the transmitted signal is
mixed electronically with the light reflected
from the targets in a device similar to a radio
receiver. Each target appears at a particular
frequency. By tuning the radar's receiver to
these target frequencies, the researchers were
able to measure both the range and the opacity
of semi-transparent targets over distances of
100 to 200 meters.

The report presents results of a study of
technology for disposal of sludge created by
lime and limestone flue gas desulfurization
systems at steam-electric power plants. Effects
of operating variables on the volume of sludge
produced are explained with emphasis on plant
situations in the state of Ohio. Properties of
sludges are reviewed, including settling
characteristics, rewatering tendency, strength,
particle size, bulk density, and chemical com-
position. The report considers potential en-
vironmental hazards of sludge disposal, namely
contamination of water and ground water sup-
plies. Methods of avoiding these hazards are
presented and evaluated. Technologies for
solidifying (fixating) sludge are discussed and
evaluated along with the current status of full-
scale projects. The report concludes that any
large degree of commercial utilization is unlike-
ly. Based on available data, there are no insur-
mountable problems in disposing of sludge in
an environmentally acceptable manner.

The results from these tests, together with other

Young coho and sockeye salmon, acclimated to
30 parts per thousand salinity, were exposed in
various ways to different amounts of crude oi!
from the Prudhoe Bay field. Oil poured on the
surface of the water in 95 liter (25 gallon)
aquaria produced significant mortalities when
the oil concentration was 500 ppm or greater.
Fish dipped into a crude oil film, or with a drop
of oil placed directly on each gill, showed no
significant mortalities. The same was true of
fish force-fed crude oil at 1 g per 100 g body
weight. Oil that had been exposed to air for 30
days produced no significant mortalities.
Among oil components tested for toxicity on
coho salmon, aliphatic compounds were not
lethal. Mono-cyclic arpmatics were generally
toxic, the degree of toxicity increasing with the
degree of unsaturation.

The report describes test results from a proto-

removing S02 and participates from flue gases.
The facility consists of three parallel scrubbers-
-a venturi/spray tower, a Turbulent Contact Ab-
sorber (TCA). and a Marble-Bed Absorber-
each able to treat a 10-Mw equivalent (30,000
acfm) of flue gas from a coal-fired boiler at
TVA's Shawnee Station. The short-term (less
than one day) limestone factorial tests, were
conducted at high (6.0-6.2) scrubber inlet liquor
pH. Longer term (about 500 hours) limestone
reliability verification test were conducted at
reduced (5.6-5.8) scrubber inlet liquor pH, to in-
crease system reliability and limestone utiliza-
tion. An objective of testing has been to identify
the most economically • attractive
lime/limestone system operating conditions,
consistent with reasonable performance.

This study was undertaken to identify typical

conventional methods for controlling or
eliminating these substances. A styrofoam
dome covering a sludge thickener was used to
control atmospheric conditions and concen-
trate odors. Field collected vapor samples were
analyzed using gas chromatography
techniques. Analyses using both polar and non-
polar column material indicated that the major
odor causing compounds were mercaptans and
amines. Other compounds which were minor
contributors to odor were aldehydes, alcohols,
and organic acids. Odor control methods
selected for study included air dilution, ac-
tivated carbon adsorption, and chlorine oxida-
tion. Air dilution using cyclic operation of an
exhaust fan was an effective means of odor
control when outside atmospheric conditions
were conducive to odor dissipation. Passing
vapors through activated carbon filters was not
completely effective in odor control since a de-
tectable residual odor remained.

The carbonate bonding process consists of
mixing a suitable material with water and lime
hydrate, compacting the mixture, and reacting
it with carbon dioxide-rich gas to form a
coherent structure bonded by a matrix of
calcite crystals. A laboratory study has in-
dicated that taconite tailings could be car-
bonate bonded to form an effective road paving
or brick-making material. In general, the com-
pressive strength of carbonate bonded taconite
tailings increased with increasing lime hydrate
content, reaction time, and carbon dioxide con-
centration in the reaction gas. In addition, air
and water permeabilities, freeze-thaw re-
sistance, and flexural strengths of carbonate
bonded taconite tailings were found to be com-
parable to concrete. Scale-up of the laboratory
studies to demonstrate paving applications in
small plots was hampered by a failure to obtain
sufficient compaction. The results, however,
did confirm the laboratory study findings.

this work has been the formulation of an S02

concentrations that agree favorably with those
observed. An approximate theoretical analysis
of sulfate washout in conjunction with field ob-
servations indicates that sulfate formation and

The availability and utilization of nutrients by
algae and rooted aquatic plants was measured
in laboratory studies using both sorption and
algal growth assays. The tests were conducted
to evaluate contributions of phosphorus to the
Madison (Wisconsin) lakes from septic tanks,
agricultural runoff, and urban drainage and to
measure changes in the nutritional status of six
lakes which were manipulated for water quality
improvement by nutrient inactivation or
hypolimnetic aeration. The assay techniques
are described and results are compared with
chemical determinations of plant nutrients.
Comparative rates of phosphorus sorption by
different types of aquatic plants were deter-
mined by three methods in order to understand
how the plants compete for limited phosphorus
sources. In situ and laboratory experiments in-
dicated that naturally layered lake muds in
three lakes release soluble phosphate-
phosphorus when disturbed and will be com-
petitively sorbed by both muds and plants in
aerobic conditions.

Spiral-wound reverse osmosis systems were
tested on acid mine drainage discharges whose
water quality characteristics were quite varied.
In addition, comparison studies were made of
the hollow-fiber and tubular systems and of the
spiral and hollow-fiber systems. At all sites, the
limiting factor in high recovery operation was
calcium sulfate insolubility. Product water was
of near potable quality. Neutralization was
required in all cases to elevate pH and, in some
cases, to remove residual iron and manganese.
A 'neutrolosis' process was developed in the
course of these investigations and constituted a
major technological advance in reverse osmo-
sis treatment of acid mine drainage. The
neutrolosis process, a combination of reverse
osmosis and neutralization, achieved water
recoveries near 99 percent while producing a
high quality product. Pretreatment consisted of
ten micron filtration. Ultraviolet disinfection,
acid injection, or both, were sometimes neces-
sary to inhibit iron oxidation and precipitation.

The role of activated silica in coagulation of
wastewaters with lime was examined. Labora-
tory studies were conducted on synthetic
wastewaters to simulate certain' wastewater
characteristics and verification studies were
conducted on samples of natural waters and
wastewaters. For high alkalinity wastewaters
activated silica provides no substantial benefit;
reasons for the loss of effectiveness are
discussed. For low alkalinity wastewaters how-
ever, significant (3 to 10-fold) reduction in lime
requirement is possible; the addition necessary
to accomplish this lime reduction is small, 2 to 4
mg/l as SiO2. In low alkalinity wastewaters high
in phosphate concentration (approximately 7
mg/l as PO4) coagulation is accomplished with
low lime addition only; multinuclear silica is as
effective and in most cases more effective than
activated silica. This treatment scheme may
provide a convenient method of treating storm
and combined sewer discharges which are
commonly tow in alkalinity.

Under experimental conditions investigated,
these coefficients did not appear significantly
different from those observed for gaseous ox-

oxygen injection were less significant in affect-
ing the mass-transfer coefficients than was

The heavy-duty engines covered in this report
include eight gasoline and four diesel engines
used in farm, construction, and industrial appli-
cations. The report includes descriptions and
photographs of the test engines, instrumenta-
tion systems used, explanations of test
sequences and calculation methods employed.
They were monitored for CO, C02, NO, NOx,
02, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, HCHO, particu-,
lates, and smoke. The engines were tested'
using well-accepted steady-state procedures
for gaseous emissions measurement, and in ad-
dition, the Federal procedure for smoke certifi-
cation was used for testing the diesel engines.
The emissions results obtained in this study, as
well as data obtained from other sources, were
used in conjunction with information on engine
population and usage to estimate emission fac-
tors. National impact was estimated separately
for each of three engine applications.

The report reviews the work of H. F. Johnstone
in 1935 and of B. A. Chertkov in the 1950's. re-
lated to laboratory vapor pressure-temperature
measurements of sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and
water above ammoniacal solutions. It indicates
that, although Johnstone and Chertkov are in
general agreement, their measurements lead to
different conclusions in several instances. The
report suggests resolutions of the differences
noted: the relationship recommended should
provide a reliable basis for designing ammonia-
cal scrubbers for removing sulfur oxides from
waste gas. As for other absorbents, design data
for ammoniacal scrubbers must include
detailed knowledge of solution properties. Am-
monium sulfite and bisulfite are far more solu-
ble in water than other sulfites. This constitutes
an important scrubber credit that has prompted
careful study of ammoniacal solutions.

A process for the production of low-8tu gas
from bituminous coals via fluid bed gasification
is described. Coal processing consists of
pretreatment, gasification, and final burnup.
Hot fuel gas is desulfurized with half-calcined
dolomite and cleaned of particulates in high-
pressure drop cyclones. The sulfur acceptor is
regenerated with steam and C02. A liquid-
phase Claus reactor is used to process the H2S
in the regenerator offgas into elemental sulfur.
Experimental data are presented which demon-
strated feasibility of the major process steps. An
economic evaluation of gas clean-up opera-
tions shows that regenerative use of acceptor is
preferable to once-through, and that removal of
particulates via cyclones, if feasible, is cheaper
than water scrubbing with subsequent reheat.
The cost of the gas desulfurization process in-
cluding sorbent regeneration and sulfur
recovery is of the order of 20 cents/MM Btu of
product gas. (Modified author abstract)

between 1960 and 1973. Although the present
'state of the art' does not permit instrumental
measurement of BOD for process control, an al-
ternative solution is suggested for secondary
treatment plants. Differential measurements
(Delta TOC, Delta TOD, or Delta COD) of the
secondary effluent and the processed sample
produces a good estimate of the ultimate BOD.
Successful efforts in this research would
produce greater operating efficiency and
reduction in pollution discharge to receiving
streams by the waste treatment plants.

The State of the system (SOS) model is the
result of an attempt to develop a methodology
that relates ecological concepts including re-
gional carrying capacity to the social scientists'
concepts of regional growth and development,
and quality of life. SOS should be considered at
this time as only a conceptual research tool.
The initial operational model. SOS-1, was
developed to investigate details of the results
predicted by the theory, and to explore data
requirements and needs. Therefore, the results
of the model runs provided are purely illustra-
tive and should be interpreted using extreme
care. The SOS Model began as an attempt to
provide an example form of constrictor model
of the Decision Analysis System (OAS) to be
used in conjunction with the General Environ-
mental Model (GEM). It is intended that the later
developments of SOS should complete this
development as a constrictor model within DAS
as well as continue its refinement as a stand-
alone analysis tool. The model, as given in the
SOS-1 form, is flexible and new data and al-
gorithms can be substituted with relative ease.
In order to maintain this ease in later, more
complex versions, segmentation of • its
procedures into smaller modules would be use-
ful. Such a form will increase the utility of SOS
as an educational and research tool.

The environmental problems of phosphorus
pollution are examined using an activity analy-
sis approach to account for phosphorus inputs
to surface waters. For purposes of analysis, the
study assumes phosphorus to be the limiting
factor in algal growth and eutrophication. A
mass flow model, general enough to be applied
to specific lakes or river basins, was developed
in order to relate the flow of phosphorus from
all activities in a basin to the consequences of
eutrophication. Various control tactics to limit
mass flow and thus eutrophication were
defined from the standpoint of both supply and
demand for phosphorus producing products
and the management of phosphorus uses.
Combinations of feasible controls designed as
strategies, were applied to the model to deter-
mine the cost-effectiveness of the strategies in
minimizing eutrophication. A hyper-eutrophic
hypothetical lake basin, Lake Michigan, and
Lake Erie were analyzed as case examples to
test the model and control methods.

Attention is given to nitrogenous materials in
waste and surface waters, efficiency of sewage
treatment, effectiveness of the conventional

and landfill leakage to the overall nitrogen load
in the environment. Concentrations, sources.
sinks, the transformation of nitrogenous
materials in the lower atmosphere, control
measures for stationary and mobile sources.
retrofit systems for used cars, and new engine
systems are reviewed. Plant nutrients, including
fertilizers, and animal wastes are considered.
The growing problems resulting from concen-
trated centralized livestock feedlots and
methods of control are pointed out. Nitrogen is
discussed as a nutrient essential to living or-
ganisms and as a toxicant within the aquatic
environment. The carcinogenicity of
nitrosamines and their precursors is described
as a potential danger to health. Individual
nitrogenous compounds are appropriately
identified throughout the report. Analytical

of the non-biological initial aging of oil films,
and a fair corroboration of a theoretical oil
spreading model. Indigenous surface films in
the study area were analyzed for lipid and
chlorinated hydrocarbon content. Hydrocar-
bons were 300-500 microgram per liter and fatty
acids and esters 700-7800 microgram per liter
in surface film samples. Chlorinated hydrocar-
bons were generally less than 100 parts per tril-
lion in surface films, in contrast to some earlier
high concentrations found in Biscayne Bay.

describe the effectiveness of sampling is used.
The analysis of performance draws heavily on
reliability and maintainability technology. Data
availability remains a constraint to the general
application of the methods. The methods are
computerized and the computer programs are
detailed. They make use of the information
available from the computerized river basin

are demonstrated to function satisfactorily on
the Beaver River Basin when artificial data are
used to supplement the data base. It is con-
cluded that the methods are acceptable for use
by governmental water quality agencies under

However, as temperature dropped below 15C
fish movement slowed, fish generally stopped
moving at night, and resting periods increased
in length and number. Steelhead showed a
preference to move in water with off-bottom

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

necessary biological and hydrological informa-
tion for objective planning of wise use of south
Florida's land, water, wildlife and fisheries
resources. Field investigations during 1971-
1972 intensively examined the details of biotic
community interactions with hydrologic condi-
tions of disturbed and relatively unaffected re-
gions of the Big Cypress Swamp and con-
tiguous tidal wetlands and estuaries. Process
studies and experimental manipulation models
were formulated for the various components of
the ecosystem. Study results demonstrate the
total dependence of the South Florida
ecosystem on the hydroperiod. Canal drainage
of upland wetlands which include cypress
swamps and wet-prairies effected a 10 fold
decrease in primary productivity. Drainage also
effected a thinning of the forest canopy and in-
duced a reduction in the rate of forest litter
decomposition resulting in a buildup of litter as
increased fuel sources for destructive wildfires.

The available information allowed a breakdown

pharmaceutical and chemical (sythesis) plants,
and (3) all others (those using fermentation,
biological preparation, extraction, and com-
binations). Analysis of the collected raw ef-
fluent data indicated that sanitary wastes were
a major contributor in pharmaceutical plants.
The wastes of the other categories were more
dependent on specific operations and were,
consequently, more variable. Fermentation
wastes were, as expected, very high in
biodegradable organics and usually were the
predominant contributor in complex plants.
Conventional biological treatment, both in-

appears capable of achieving 90% removal of
degradable organics. Advanced technology ap-

Identification was accomplished using three in-
dependent search approaches based on indus-
trial production, environmental, and societal
trends and activity. Nine ranking factors were
devised to select ten most serious problems
from the initial list. The factors included: per-
sistence: mobility/pervasiveness; environmen-
tal, technological, social, and political com-
plexity; physiological risk; research needs; and
bulk or volume of the pollutant. The ten
selected problems in rank order are as follows:
Impacts of new energy initiatives; geophysical
modifications of the earth;, trace element
(metal) contaminants; proliferating hazardous
and toxic chemicals; .emissions from new au-
tomobile fuels, additives, and control devices;
disposal of waste sludges, liquids, and solid
residues; critical radiation problems; fine par-
ticulates; expanding drinking water contamina-
tion; and irrigation practices. Five to ten year
projections were made of the ten problems
which resulted.

Discharge of brine wastes from water softener
regeneration to sewers or receiving streams is
often undesirable because of possible pollu-
tion. Brine reclamation and reuse has been stu-
died for one year at a central regeneration plant
for portable ion exchange water softeners. The
process is modified lime-soda softening and is
operated in daily batches. This process
produces a 95% sodium chloride brine, which is
perfectly acceptable for reuse as a regenerant
brine. The lime-soda softening sludge is the
only waste. This process is feasible technically,
but is marginal economically. Performance

had crops of corn, oats, pasture or hayland.
Composite samples of the runoff were used for
various chemical, physical and biological deter-

events and 36 rainfall events were collected.
Sediment losses were considerably lower than
anticipated. Pesticide concentrations were low
in both water and sediment samples, and were
usually less than the analytical test limits.
Coliform and fecal levels were consistently
greater than accepted surface water quality
criteria. Most of the nutrients were found to be

The feasibility of providing complete treatment
of human waste by means of an incinerating
toilet small and inexpensive enough to be suita-
ble for use on small pleasure boats was in-
vestigated. A toilet that avoids the need for an
auxiliary power supply by relying on natural
draft was built. Its performance and the quality
of its effluent were evaluated. The quality of ef-
fluent, both exhaust fumes and residual ash, is
acceptable. However, the natural draft is unreli-
able, and the heat input needed to eliminate all
odor from the exhaust fumes is greater than the
unit can efficiently dissipate. The unit as con-
structed could potentially act as a source of ig-
nition for explosive vapors originating el-
sewhere on the boat. A redesigned unit was
constructed to burn with a forced draft at a
lower temperature, and to use a catalytic ox-
idizer to eliminate odor from the exhaust fumes'.
An explosive vapor detector was designed into
the circuit to eliminate the possibility of igniting
extraneous vapors. This unit has not been
tested and evaluated.

and engineering technology to waste disposal
problems. The objectives of this study were to:
(1) identify the chemical nature of the con-

and economic evaluation of pilot plant opera-
tions. The results of this study will be useful in
the development of a solid waste chemical

recovering waste generated from municipal,
commercial, and agricultural sources for reu-
tilization processes. This report was designed
to provide the impetus for continued studies on

The project was conducted to demonstrate the
applicability of numerically modeling the trans-
port of pollution in street canyons. The numeri-
cal model employs the solutions of the fully
nonlinear, three-dimensional Navier-Stokes
equations along with a transport equation for
pollutants, for regions of space in which obsta-
cles or buildings cause strong distortions in the
flow fields. The numerical technique is used to
model three-dimensional flows for which some
experimental data have been obtained. This in-
cludes calculating the distribution of pollutants
in the Broadway Street Canyon in downtown St.
Louis, Missouri. Also, the numerical method is
used to calculate pollutant distributions in a
non-specific street canyon; that is, a street
canyon in which the geometry and other impor-
tant non-dimensional flow parameters give rise
to solutions that are applicable, in a general
sense, to a variety of street canyons. (Modified

The study characterizes the process-related
solid wastes produced during manufacture of
industrial chemicals, SIC Group 281. Thirty
three chemicals were selected that: possess
significant resource value, pose a difficult solid
waste disposal problem, and/or have markedly
deleterious properties, e.g.. toxicity. The
selected chemicals composed 40% of 1971
group output and an estimated 95% of the
group's solid waste. Fifteen of the chemicals
are undergoing process substitutions: .in every
case the newer process generates less solid
waste. Most of wastes are of intrinsically low
value, so resource recovery is seldom
economic. Inorganics account for over 90% of
total disposal cost, due to large waste volume
from ore-related processes, such as alumina
and phosphoric acid. Organics appear to pose
little disposal problem. Elimination of water
discharge doubles the disposal cost of the 33
chemicals.

made to determine the extent of pollution aris-
ing from the operation of two-cycle outboard
engines in an oligotrophic/mesotrophic lake.
The fate of the exhaust products discharged to
a lake environment has been studied. Three
bays having different boat usage were com-
pared. Attempts have been made to examine
the quantities of exhaust products found in the
water column, the water surface, and in the bot-
tom sediments. The role of such mechanisms
as micrpbial decomposition, evaporation, and
adsorption has been studied. Results of these
studies have shown very low levels of hydrocar-
bons, other than from natural sources, in sedi-
ments and the water column. Somewhat
greater quantities were found in surface films.
The microbiological studies and evaporative
studies indicate that these mechanisms play a
significant role in the dispersion of engine ex-
haust products.

Earlier studies suggested that the low tempera-
ture luminescence properties of PCB's
(polychlorinated, biphenyls) and DDT com-
pounds could be used to identify these com-
pounds singly or in mixtures. The present in-
vestigation was undertaken to develop a rela-
tively simple, rapid method for estimating these
compounds in water. The emphasis in this
procedure has been on the inherent sensitivity
and specificity of luminescence, avoiding
chemical separation where possible. The
present procedure involves collection of grab
samples followed by extraction, drying, con-
centration, and redilution in a second solvent
suitable for luminescence measurement at 77K.
Studies include the determination of recoveries
and detection sensitivities for some of the com-
pounds of interest and also analyses of several
environmental waters. (Modified author ab-

Strongly basic ion-exchange resins have been
shown to exhibit a preference for dichromate
over many other anions in water solution.
Laboratory studies were conducted to show
that this ion preference could be used to
remove chromate from waste waters which
were discharged from a zinc yellow pigment
manufacturing plant. It was also shown that the
recovered chromate solution could be recycled
into product manufacture without sacrificing
product quality. From these laboratory studies,
a full-scale ion-exchange treatment plant was
designed, constructed, and demonstrated. The
chromate composition of the plant effluent is
being reduced from 2700 ppm to one to two
ppm. The treatment system was designed to
treat 60 gallons per minute of influent and to
discharge an effluent which is within statutory
limits for pH and for heavy metal content. The
plant was designed to require minimal manual
supervision. The steps in treatment and in resin
regeneration are performed automatically and
the control system is interlocked to make it fail
safe.

The report gives results of the evaluation of a
large set of chemical reactions describing
methane/air combustion to determine the sig-
nificant reactions at atmospheric pressure, at
temperatures of 1500-2500K, and at
equivalence ratios of 0.8-1.25. The reactions
were screened to eliminate: reactions with
negligible net contribution to heat evolution or
pollutant formation, species with no discernible
effect on major species or temperature, and
groups of reactions constituting only species
exchange loops. A set of 26 reactions/17 spe-
cies was derived which can duplicate within 5
percent the predictions of the 134-reaction/25-
species master set. Ten additional pyrolysis
reactions are cited for low-temperature and
fuel-rich applications. The Zeldovich
mechanism is the principal route to NO for
stoichiometric combustion, but under lean con-
ditions, a path to NO involving N2O is also ac-
tive. For fuel-rich conditions, comparison with
stirred reactor data suggests that NO formation
cannot be explained by the Zeldovich
mechanism alone: an alternate path involving
species of the type RN may be of importance.
Finally, prompt NO arising from oxygen-atom
overshoot was not predicted for an idealized
plug flow ignition case.

The coliform group of indicator organisms has
a relatively low resistance to chlorine when
compared to pathogens such as enteric viruses
and protozoan cysts. Consequently, an effort
has been initiated to find a new chlorine re-
sistant broindicator of wastewater Chlorination
efficiency. A yeast and two different acid-fast
bacilli were found to be resistant to Chlorination
in the range considered necessary for the inac-
tivation of pathogens, including viruses. One
acid-fast bacillus survived 2.0 mg/l free
chlorine for 67 min while the other survived 1.0
mg/l free chlorirw for 15 min. The yeast resisted
1.0 mg/l free chlorine for 20 min. In com-
parison, a pure culture of E. coli failed to sur-
vive five min contact with 0.03 mg/l free
chlorine. The chlorine resistance and other
characteristics of the yeasts and acid-fast bacil-
li under study suggest that they show promise
as bioindicators for wastewater Chlorination for
the more chlorine resistant pathogens.

A technique for measuring particle concentra-
tions in turbulent flows was investigated. This
technique is the measurement of the light scat-
tering from an incident beam by the solid con-
taminants present The results show that for
moderate concentrations the scattering system
gives proportional increases in count to in-
creases in particle concentration. The limita-
tions of this system are the signal to noise ratio
and the condition of singular scattering by the
particles. Suggestions on refinements on the
correlation technique used are made and ob-
served phenomena which require further in-
vestigation are discussed.

determine the turbulent transport coefficient of
contaminants suspended in turbulent flows.
The experimental results were compared to
measurements of diffusion of liquid droplets in
air jets as well as to a numerical analysis based
on the equations of the particles themselves.
Small particles in turbulent flows are seen to
have an increasing turbulent transport coeffi-

Laboratory and pilot plant studies are
described for a new Esso-Carver Greenfield
process for the disposal of sewage sludge. An
oil-assisted gravity separation of the majority of
the water while heating is followed by multiple
effect evaporation to dryness in an oil slurry,
and incineration of the dry solids. Agreement
between laboratory and pilot plant results was
good, indicating no scale-up problems. In the
gravity separation, secondary sludges are con-
centrated from about 0.5% up to 5-10% solids.
Solids capture of 98% or more is achieved by
high shear oil-sludge contacting. Temperature
dependent losses of solubilized organic carbon
up to about 25% of the organic content of the
feed are observed in the separated water from
the oil concentration, and in the distillate from
the evaporators. The process economics show
an advantage of $13-32 a ton compared to the
best known commercial technology: total costs
are estimated at $21-39/ton of dry solids for a
189 ton/day plant processing a 50/50 mixture of
primary + activated sludges to ash. A lower
temperature gravity separation step could
greatly reduce the economic penalty for a 25%
recycle of solubilized secondary sludge.

result. Experimental investigations were con-

tracer, yielding a fluid that was denser than the
ambient receiving water and facilitated measur-

The study was concerned with the handling of
wastewater resulting from the concentration of
low grade iron ore. Specific objectives were to
develop tailings basin design and management
criteria, to investigate methods of treating basin
effluents, and to investigate transport charac-
teristics of paniculate materials contained in
basin discharges. These objectives were ac-
complished through laboratory and field stu-
dies conducted at the tailings impoundment
systems associated with two iron ore concen-
trating plants located in Upper Michigan. An-
nual water balances were formulated for the
tailings system at each plant to show the rela-
tive importance of precipitation, surface out-
flow and seepage. Settling column and dye
dispersion tests were employed to predict con-
centrations of suspended material remaining in
basin effluents. The cost effectiveness of vari-
ous coagulation systems for treating basin ef-
fluent was investigated. Particular attention
was devoted to a study of the thickening and
dewatering characteristics of the slurry
produced by chemical coagulation of the basin
effluent. Finally, settling column experiments in
which fine tailings particles were diluted with
various natural waters were conducted.

Current livestock production techniques result
in the generation of odors which have become
a source of conflict between livestock produ-

chemical compounds present in odorous air
from animal waste degradation has yielded
about 45 compounds to date. The amines, mer-
captans. organic acids and heterocyclic
nitrogen compounds are generally regarded as
being of greatest importance. Among the
techniques for odor control are: (a) site selec-
tion away from populated areas and where
adequate drainage exists, (b) maintain the
animal areas as dry as possible and prevent the
animals from becoming manure covered, (c)
select manure handling systems which utilize
aerobic environments for manure storage, (d)
maintain an orderly operation free of accumu-
lated manure and runoff water, (e) practice
prompt disposal of dead animals and (f) use
odor control chemicals when short term odor
control is necessary, such as when manure
storage tank contents must be field spread.

The report presents results of a study to assess
the impact on operations of petroleum refine-
' ries and on energy resources of two regulations
promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency to control the level of lead additive in
motor gasoline. The first of these regulations
requires the availability of low-octane, lead-free
gasoline for vehicles which will be equipped
with lead sensitive catalytic converters
designed to meet 1975 automotive emission
standards. For health reasons, the second
regulation requires a gradual phase-down of
the lead content of the total gasoline pool
(including higher octane gasoline to satisfy the
remaining high-compression ratio engines).
The study considers separately the impact of
each regulation. Effects on overall refinery
yields, refinery operation flexibility to maximize
production of gasoline and/or heating oils, and
on energy resources requirements have been
considered. Other parametric studies evaluate
suppositions of a need for a higher octane lead
free gasoline and a higher demand for lead free
gasoline than now forecast.

The primary intent of the work has been the as-
sessment of the combined effects of turbulent
diffusion and inhomogeneous chemistry on the
dispersion and chemical alteration of reactive
pollutants and natural constituents of the lower
atmosphere. The fundamental chemical kinetic
equations for an inhomogeneously mixed bi-
nary reaction system are derived exactly and
solved for various initial conditions in order to
assess the effects of inhomogeneous mixing on
chemical reaction rates. These effects are
shown to be highly significant in several at-
mospheric chemistry situations, particularly
when the reactants emanate from multiple
sources. An approximate second-order closure
of the chemical sub-model is then developed
and coupled with the second-order (invariant)
turbulent diffusion model. Initial calculations of
the interaction of turbulent diffusion and
chemical reactions are presented, including a
simulation of a multiple freeway situation. Con-
ditions under which chemical reactions are dif-
fusion and mixedness limited are illustrated.

Extensive field investigations were conducted
at two large primary treatment plants to define
the variability of flow, primary effluent pollu-
tants, and waste solids production. These data
plus that collected during a pure oxygen pilot
plant investigation were utilized in specially
developed cost-effective computer programs
for activated sludge treatment and waste solids
handling to solve for the optimum design con-
figuration as a function of the design reliability.
A surprisingly high degree of design reliability
was found to be justified in municipal waste-

operational flexibility (oxygen supply, return

Plant scale evaluation of activated sludge and
Bio-Disc treatment of distillery wastewater has
been conducted over a period of more than one
year at Pekin, Illinois. The activated sludge
process consistently provided in excess of 90
percent removal of BODS, even at loadings
greater than the treatment plant design levels.
The Bio-Disc process had to be down-rated
from the original design basis in order to ap-
proach a comparable removal efficiency. Of the
two systems evaluated, the activated sludge
process was the more desirable from stand-
points of economics, treatment performance,
and ability to handle shock loads.

There is a growing trend in the states to adopt
requirements for environmental impact state-
ments like those in the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969. Fifteen states and Puerto
Rico now require impact statements for a wide
range of activities significantly affecting the
quality of the environment, and several others
apply the process to limited classes of projects.
At least twenty other states have such require-
ments under consideration. The state require-
ments are summarized and compared to each
other and to the national act. Some key issues
are discussed: contents of the impact state-
ment, applicability to private projects and local
governments, relation to land use regulation,

are given. Irresponsible control of brines can
seriously pollute freshwater and land. The
analyses now in STORET should be wisely used

gineering-Science. Inc., Washington, D.C. was
selected as design and operating engineers of a
SO gpm pilot plant to treat a composite of
refinery, petrochemical, and municipal waste-
water. Raw wastewater was subjected to the
following processes: pretreatment. equaliza-
tion, neutralization, primary clarification, varied
types of activated sludge, final clarification, and
intermittent varied testing on polishing and dis-
infection. The activated sludge process, at op-
timum conditions, removed 90 percent of the
BOD of the strong predominately industrial
waste. The raw wastewater color ranged from
200 to 1800 units color which was readily
removed by carbon sorption of the activated
sludge effluent. Aerobic digestion reduced ex-
cess activated sludge volatile suspended solids
50 percent in 20 days. Either vacuum filtration
or filter pressing would be most applicable for
dewatering. Pilot plant operation confirmed
treat ability proposals, developed design criteria
and pointed out areas of additional study.

and on the financial ability of companies with
polluting plants to meet the proposed stan-

tion controls may strain the internal financial
resources of some companies and will probably
result in very limited increases in cement
prices, but will not lead to plant shut-downs or
increases in unemployment provided the de-
mand for cement continues at present levels.

mechanism of COD reduction could afford
recoverable protein from the whey. Carbon ad-

shown to be extremely effective in reducing the
COD. The carbohydrates after oxidation to car-

bon loading being in excess of that expected
for secondary effluents. The feasibility of com-
bining the electrolytic oxidation with froth col-

evaporated salt, sodium silicate, sodium metal,
sodium sulfite, and synthetic soda ash. A
methodology was developed to judge the

first by assessing the likelihood that treatment

not likely, plant shutdowns would occur. Based
on this approach and using the treatment costs
supplied that was concluded that mercury cell

These differences may have been a result of pH

The most promising wet system alternative is
identified as a system using individual
household grinders in low density areas,
vacuum collection and neighborhood grinders
in high density areas, dilute slurry transport of
ground refuse in the existing sanitary sewer
systems, and joint treatment of refuse and
sewage at an expanded treatment facility that
includes anaerobic digestion for methane
generation. However, the economic feasibility
of even the most promising alternative is doubtr
ful because of the high cost of grinding, and
hydraulic transport of ground refuse in existing
sewer systems may be feasible only if both
metals and glass are excluded. A conventional
collection of the nongrindable and bulky con-
stituents of residential refuse will still be
needed, albeit of a diminished frequency.

stantial decrease in the unit cost of sludge han-
dling (on a per ton of dry solids basis) over
plants treating sewage alone can be expected.
and suitable process chains include gravity

The report describes a series of strategies to
deal with the disposal/recovery of scrap tires.
These tires form a particularly intractable form
of solid waste since they do not decompose,
have an adverse effect on incinerators and air
emissions, and disrupt the compaction process
in sanitary landfi Us. The options for the disposal
or recovery of used tires are described by this
study as well as research into new methods of
tire recovery. Rubber reclaimed from scrap tires
can be used in new tire manufacture but lacks
the uniformity, tensile strength, heat resistance
and abrasion resistance to be used in very large
concentrations. Pyrolysis, hydrogenization and
related processes for separating tires into sub-
stances that may be recycled into tire produc-
tion or sold as fuel, although workable on a
laboratory scale, have not yet been proven
commercially. The incorporation of chopped
tires into an interface layer of asphalt between a
deteriorated road and its new surfacing is a
promising use of tires. A series of strategies
was devised under which various economic,
regulatory, educational, and research and
development activities were combined to pro-
vide incentives to encourage the reuse of tires
or improve tire disposal practices.

The critical parameters affecting neutralization
of ferric-iron acid mine waters were charac-
terized by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency in comparative studies using hydrated
lime, rock-dust limestone, and a combination of
the two as neutralizing agents. The advantages
and disadvantages of each of these neutralizing
agents were noted. On the ferric-iron test water,
combination limestone-lime treatment pro-
vided a better than 25-percent reduction in
materials cost as compared to straight lime or
limestone treatment. Significant reduction in
sludge production was noted by the use of
rock-dust limestone and by the use of combina-
tion treatment as compared to hydrated-lime
treatment. Emphasis on optimizing limestone
utilization efficiencies resulted in an increase
from approximately 35-percent to 50-percent
utilization. Studies using limestone that had
been ground to pass a 400-mesh screen
resulted in utilization efficiencies near 90 per-
cent.

Literature on the biological effects of mercuri-
als was reviewed with the purpose of un-
derstanding impact on individual organisms in
terms of biochemical or cellular damage. Mer-
curialism is manifested primarily in kidney or
brain damage in animals and in growth reduc-
tion in plants. Exposure to inorganic mercury
compounds usually results in kidney damage
while alkyl mercurialism is characterized by
brain damage; however, some degree of both
kidney and neurological injury results from ex-
posure to either category of mercurials. Kidney
injury is due apparently to damage of Kreb's
cycle enzymes, thus reducing available energy
to actively resorbtions. Impaired protein
synthesis as well as reduction in activity of
Kreb's cycle enzymes may be important in brain
damage resulting from mercury poisoning.

wastes had suspended solids and biochemical
oxygen demand of 2000 mg/l. Respirometer
studies evaluated toxicity of additives to ac-

mixtures was determined from pilot-scale ac-
tivated sludge plant operations. Cell yield coef-
ficients were calculated. Photomicrographs
recorded physical changes to activated sludge.
Phase II field tested full-scale physical-chemi-

craft wastes. Average removal efficiencies for
suspended solids, biochemical and chemical
oxygen demand, phosphate, and zinc were
greater than 90 percent. Discharge solids were
nonodorous and innocuous. Postchlorination
increased total-nitrogen removal from 30 to 70
percent. Operating costs were determined.

flow Regulator Facility' (PB-214 687). The work
described by this report allows flexibility for the
designer faced with structural, head or land
area constraints by enabling interchange of
basic heights and diameter dimensions. The
1972 studies established a suitable relationship
between swirl chamber depth and diameter and
their effect on the liquid flowfield and particle
removal efficiencies. This report presents an
account of supplemental studies of a hydraulic
model of the swirl concentrator. The report
translates the model study findings into a
design basis that can.be used for any rational
flow rate in universal service for the treatment
of combined sewer flows. It establishes the
basic principle that variations in overflow weir
height, or chamber depth, do not materially in-
fluence solids particle removals and that the
most definitive design parameters are size of
inlet sewer and.swirl chamber diameter. It also
provides design curves for various influent flow
rates, covering chamber diameters and inlet
sewer sizes which will produce settleable solids
removal efficiencies of 70,80 and 90 percent. It
presents design details for flotable solids traps
to retain these components, and for essential
details of swirl chamber geometries.
Procedures are outlined on how the model
study curves can be used in the design of proto-
type swirl concentrator units of various capaci-
ties and dimensional relationships.

The project began as a practical demonstration
to investigate the concept of milling solid waste
for landfill disposal without applying daily
cover. The project was intended to gather data
on the operation and cost of milling equipment,
the use of milled solid waste in a landfill, and
the characteristics of milled solid waste—all
from a practical standpoint. Eventually, how-
ever, project personnel carried out detailed in-
vestigative work on both milled and un-
processed solid waste. To determine whether
landfilling milled solid waste lived up to the ap-
proval given by European landfill operators, it
became necessary to design experiments in-
volving rats, flies, leachate, gas, trees, etc. in
hopes of quantifying such factors.

The main purpose of the current contract effort
is the development and validation of a simula-
tion model for estimating ground level concen-
trations of photochemical pollutants. A major
component of the model is a generalized
kinetic mechanism capable of describing at-
mospheric chemical reactions developed by
Prof. John H. Seinfeld at the California Institute
of Technology. The authors wished to modify
the treatment of nitrous acid in the mechanism,
to include additional categories of lumped
hydrocarbons and their reactions, to improve
means for estimating the generalized
stoichiometric coefficients, and to assess more
fully the mechanism's validity. It was the pur-
pose of this effort to carry out validation of the
mechanism, as modified, for a variety of reac-
tive systems, including single hydrocarbons, bi-
nary mixtures, and auto exhaust. The
mechanism provides an adequate, perhaps
good, description of smog chamber kinetics.

To establish a basis for validation of an urban
airshed model based on a macroscale grid, a
sub-grid, or microscale, model was undertaken
capable of predicting the elevation in concen-
tration at the monitoring station, above
background levels, that is contributed by local
automotive emissions. The development and
validation of a simple diffusion model for CO to
investigate the feasibility of modeling at two
spatial scales is described. Limited results are
reported for four LA County stations. Previous
efforts in measuring and predicting local varia-
tions in concentrations due to nearby sources
were reviewed. A general description of the
model is given, details of its formulation for ap-
plication in the vicinity of low structures (one to
two story buildings) are discussed and graphs
are presented which display the relationship
between the magnitude of concentration eleva-
tion and the distance of the sampling probe
from the street, the speed and direction of the
local wind, and the magnitude of the local tur-
bulent eddy dirf usivity.

The aim was to describe both the overall and
specific operational characteristics of the com-
puter programs which embody the model. An
airshed simulation package consisting of four
computer programs was developed. Three of
the programs are subsidiary to the main pro-
gram which is used to predict ground level pol-
lutant concentrations. The main objective is to
explain the basic computational structure of
the package, indicating the function of all pro-
grams. To illustrate the manner in which a typi-
cal airshed simulation is performed, the step-
by-step application of each program is
described, discussing required inputs, calcula-
tions performed, and use of the program out-
put. A detailed description of the individual pro-
grams is presented, focusing on objectives,
structure and capabilities. A complete set of in-
structions is presented for the use of all pro-
grams. Computing system information is given,
including program size, computing time, and
hardware requirements. A set of tables is
presented depicting the data-deck setup for
every program. The tables include a detailed
description of the input parameters, their units,
and the format of each card. Listings of all pro-
grams are also provided. A symbol glossary and
several typical examples of program output are
included.

Activated sludge floes suspended in wet
mounts on microscope slides were observed to
sprout, finger-like, bacterial zoogloeae as a
consequence of the outgrowth of bacteria from
floes. Photomicrographic and fluorescent an-
tibody studies revealed that the bacterial
zoogloeae consisted of the progeny of specific
zoogloea-forming bacteria. Purified ex-
opolymers of Zoogloea strains and domestic
activated sludge contained two amino sugars,
one of which was identified as glucosamine.
Zoogloea exopolymer was not fibrilar or cellu-
losic and contained approximately 17 to 19 per
cent amino sugar and about one per cent hex-
OSes, uronic acids and ether soluble sub-
stances on a dry weight of polymer basis.
Amino sugar production was found to parallel
zoogloea formation by Zoogloea sp. Calcium
ion appeared to augment flocculation of bac-
terial cells capable of undergoing natural
coalescence. Two cell types, described as
rough and smooth colony-forming, were found
in some strains of Zoogloea. Rough cells readi-
ly flocculated in agitated cultures whereas
smooth cells produced relatively turbid cultures
under similargrowth conditions.

dealing with the biological aspects of cooling
water was undertaken. In order to judge the ef-
fect of heat discharges on the thermal regime of
the river, three one-dimensional river tempera-
ture prediction models—COLHEAT, STREAM
and Edinger-Geyer were evaluated, and the
most appropriate model was selected to
analyze changes in temperature distribution
along the river. The effects of heat discharges
on the thermal regime of the river near the
points of discharge were evaluated by analyz-

This thesis is primarily concerned with the effi-

of queueing systems, it is analytically shown to
be more efficient to estimate Q by multiplying
an estimate of d by the arrival rate of customers,

systems, an estimator is introduced which is
more efficient than the normal estimator of d.
The efficient estimation of mean waiting time.
w, and time average amount of work in system,
E(V), is also considered. It is seen to be more ef-
ficient to estimate w and E(V) from an estimate
of d. than to estimate them directly.

requirements or implications. There is a direct
relationship between land use control mea-
sures and environmental impacts. Many pollu-
tion problems can be prevented by implement-
ing land use controls with proper consideration
of environmental impact. The study is designed
to highlight issues which confront EPA regula-

The report identifies key land use issues facing
EPA and analyzes those issues in terms of the
environmental impacts involved and the pro-
jected magnitude of the problems over time.
The need to view land use in terms of an inter-
media perspective is emphasized. A preliminary
analysis is made of broad land use categories,
i.e., agriculture, mining silviculture, transporta-
tion, energy facilities, and residential, commer-
cial and industrial usage. Land use issues are
divided into two subdivisions: General growth
pattern and the siting of key facilities. Each of
the major land uses is viewed in terms of impact
on air, water, and noise pollution levels, and in-
direct effects such as induced development on
surrounding land. Land use variables which
reduce adverse environmental impact are cited.
Several growth issues are discussed: concen-
tration versus dispersion, development pat-
terns, rural-urban interface, nondegradation,
critical areas, and new construction. In the area
of facility siting, the study focuses upon pro-
jected demand, supply and land use patterns,
primary and secondary environmental impacts,
and land use control measures to abate adverse
environmental impact. The report is docu-
mented in attached appendices.

The 'hypolimnetic flow' is a two-layered flow
with the upper layer stagnant. The report
presents the possibility of different flow
regimes for the hypolimnetic flow which may be
determined from the parameters of slope of
channel bottom, flow depth, flowrate, density
difference of water in the two layers, and chan-
nel roughness. The analysis is limited to the
steady-state case of the hypolimnetic flow and
the 'upper layer analysis' in which the lower
layer is stagnant. Interfacial profile equations
which predict possible existence of ten dif-
ferent flow regimes for the hypolimnetic flow
and two regimes for the upper layer analysis
were obtained from the equations of continuity
and momentum for two-layered flow.

Total coliform and fecal coliform have been
used as measures of water quality for uses
ranging from shellfish waters to public water
supplies. Because of the weaknesses of the
coliform tests, research has continued in the
search for indicators of fecal pollution.
Coprostanol, or 5 beta-cholestan-3 beta-ol, has
shown promise as an indicator of fecal pollu-
tion. This stcrol is a characteristic fecal organic
compound which is found in the feces of higher
animals, including man. The gas chromato-
graphic analysis of Coprostanol was improved
and a method of sample preservation was
developed using H2SO4. Field surveys com-
pared Coprostanol analyses with total and fecal
coliform and confirmed the predicted ad-
vantages of a chemical method over a biologi-
cal method. The gas chromatographic method
was used in extensive field surveys, in degrada-
tion studies, in treatment plant efficiency stu-
dies and as the standard for evaluation of a
colorimetric method. The method was capable
of determining twenty nanograms per liter,
which was estimated to be equivalent to ap-
proximately two conforms per 100 ml. An at-
tempt was made to correlate Coprostanol con-
centration with treatment plant efficiency.
There was a reasonably good correlation
between Coprostanol and BOD, COD and TOC.
A colorimetric method has been developed that
can be used to determine Coprostanol at levels
of one microgram g/l in polluted water. The
color developer used isdinitrophenylhydrazine.

Approximately 90 percent of the United States'
chemical wood pulp is produced by the kraft
pulping process. In spite of various measures
taken to reduce pollution, kraft mill effluents
discharged into streams'are objectionable in
color, and further improvements are needed to
reduce the color of these effluents. The nature
of color bodies in kraft mill effluents apparently
has not been fully investigated. Presumably,
two wastes are believed to be the main sources
of color in the effluents; weak black liquor and
effluent from the caustic extraction stages in
the bleach plant. In addition, some color may
form in the holding ponds. The present project
has been divided into two parts. The first part
has been concerned with the chemical and
physical characterization of the color bodies in
the mill effluents both before and after lime
treatment. Effluents from two different mills
were studied. Part of this report deals with the
study of effluents from the International Paper
Company (IPCO) mill at Springhill. Louisiana.
and the Continental Can Company (CONGO)
mill at Hodge, Louisiana. The second part of the
project has been concerned with the lime treat-
ment of mill effluents in the presence of mul-
tivalent ions. The objective was to establish
conditions for an improved lime-treatment
process using small amounts of multivalent
ions of other metals in addition to lime.

plant scale separation procedures. A prototype
plant was designed and constructed to test the
possibility of complete water reuse in the

plants indicates that a practical method of
treating granite waste effluent has been
developed and that complete recycle of treated

A waste treatment system was installed in con-
junction with an existing confined swine feed-
ing operation at Schuster Farms, Gower, MO.
The system consisted of a concrete aeration
tank equipped with mechanical surface aera-
tors, followed by a settling pond. Wastes from
the 1,000-hog feeding operation were flushed
through a gutter in the concrete feeding floor
into the aeration tank, where they were aerobi-
cally digested. All aeration tank discharges
were retained in the settling pond where the
liquids evaporated. The waste treatment facility
operated continuously and dependably over a
two-year period, with treatment efficiency
averaging 90% to 95%. The system effectively
controlled objectionable odors and insects,
contained all liquid runoff emanating from the
feeding operation, and left only a dry, inert
residue suitable for land disposal. Thus, total
environmental control was achieved at a cost of
approximately $1.00 per hog. or 1/2 cent per
pound of weight gained while on the feeding
floor.

Studies were conducted to demonstrate the ef-
ficiency and suitability of using dissolved air
flotation, anaerobic lagoons, plastic media
trickling filters and Chlorination as a system for
treating one mgd of wastewater from a meat
packing plant. The primary objective was to
determine if the plastic media filters could be
used to replace the aerobic lagoon system nor-
mally used to treat the anaerobic lagoon ef-
fluent. The overall reduction of five-day
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BODS) through
the system averaged 98.5% over the ten month
evaluation period leaving a discharge concen-
tration of 61 mg/1. Suspended solids were
reduced 95.4% through the entire system, leav-
ing an effluent concentration of 90 mg/1 after
Chlorination. The BODS reduction in the
anaerobic obic lagoons averaged 82% and ac-
counted for the majority of BODS removed in
the system.

This work is concerned with the air-strippable
volatile organic fraction of industrial waste-
waters. The primary purpose was to develop
laboratory apparatus and procedures that may
be employed to assess the desirability of air-
stripping in cooling towers as a treatment
operation for removal of a portion of the or-
ganics from industrial wastewater. The ap-
paratus developed consists of a short packed
(Intalox Saddle) section with liquid recircula-
tion and single pass countercurrertt air flow.
Desorption is performed in the apparatus at
25C and ambient pressure conditions. Samples
were representative of: poultry, metal, oil-field,
canning, pharmaceutical, paper, food, fibers,
petroleum refinery and petrochemical indus-
tries. BOD, COD, TOC and gas chromato-
graphic analysis were employed with the ex-
periments. Industrial wastewaters were found
to contain a non-volatile organic fraction that
remains in the aqueous phase and a volatile or-
ganic fraction that can be transferred to the air
phase. The net result of the desorption experi-
ments is that some industrial wastewaters can
be effectively treated by air-stripping a sizeable
portion of the dissolved organics. (Modified

used to determine the losses of atrazine (2-

dichlorobenzonitrile) from fallow plots on four
Coastal Plain soil types following the applica-
tion of about 13 cm (5 in.) of rainfall in two
hours. The herbicides, as wettable powders,
were surface-applied and incorporated. Simu-
lated high intensity (a 100-year frequency

cation. The greatest combined (runoff plus
sediment) losses of atrazine in all soils and of
dichlobenil in two soils occurred during the
first 40-50 minutes of runoff. (Modified author

An evaluation of the pure oxygen activated
sludge system (UNOX) has been underway
since May, 1970. During the first 16 months of
test operation on the 100.000 gpd facility at the
Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant, over
five different phases of operation were tested to
demonstrate the performance of the system
under varying conditions. The report describes
the pilot plant facilities, the character of the
wastewater, and the mode of operation and
process information. The oxygen activated
sludge system (UNOX) consisted of a unique,
four stage, gas tight biological reactor that em-
ployed cocurrent gas-liquid contacting. In less
than 1.85 hours of oxygenation, the system
removed 90 percent of the influent BODS and
utilized over 95 percent of the supplied oxygen.
The effluent quality was as good or better than
that obtained from a 3.6 hour step aeration
system operating in parallel with the oxygena-
tion system. The microbial organisms visually
were essentially the same as those found in a
typical conventional system. Their rate of activi-
ty, however, was greater than those of the air
system. Satisfactory solid-liquid separation was
achieved.

Trie removal of manure from dairy cattle con-
finement areas by improved hydraulic flushing
techniques was attempted in conjunction with
an attempt to treat the resulting manure slurry
in an anaerobic lagoon and activated sludge
process. Algae cells were allowed to propagate
in the activated sludge process effluent in an at-
tempt to then harvest the cells and accomplish
nutrient removal as a final polishing step. While
manure could be hydraulically moved by high
velocity flushing jets, it resulted in a slurry that
was too thick to flow by gravity, to catch basins
within the cattle confinement areas. The
anaerobic lagoon-activated sludge process
sequence did accomplish overall pollutional
strength reductions as high as 90%.

established. Also, irrigation scheduling should
not be taken individually as a salinity control
measure because its effectiveness is not exclu-
sive of the operation of the total irrigation
system. Thus, irrigation scheduling is a neces-
sary, but not sufficient, tool for achieving im-
proved irrigation efficiencies.

to record holographically the interferogram
which presents a three-dimensional record of
the interference fringe pattern. The density
profile and hence the temperature profile can
be calculated from the fringe shift information.
The report presents data for a methane-air
burner operating both as a diffusion flame and
as a premixed flame. The large number of fringe
shifts recorded on an interferogram com-
plicated the reduction of the methane-air data,
but it was possible to correlate the inter-
ferometrically derived temperature data with
thermocouple measurements. Application of
the technique to a 0.2 gal/hr oil burner was un-
successful because the highly turbulent flame
caused an interference pattern that could not
be deciphered. (Modified author abstract)

Air pollution is a problem because it endangers
man's health and the environment in which he
lives. The information researched in this report
indicates that the cost of air pollution damage
in 1970 (for measured effects only) falls within a
range of $6.1 to $18.5 billion, with a 'best' esti-
mate of $12.3 billion. A benefit-cost analytical
framework for environmental decision-making
is outlined. The methods that have been or can
be used to estimate the damages of air pollu-
tion are identified. The strengths and weak-
nesses of each method are discussed. The
technical coefficients method is utilized in esti-
mating the value of air pollution damage to
human health, to man-made materials, and to
vegetation. A particular market study method,
the property value approach, was used to esti-
mate aesthetic and soiling-related costs.
Damages are allocated by major pollutant and-
source category.

The report gives results of an air pollution emis-
sions control study to: characterize the current
field population of industrial boilers:. identify
trends in boiler design; .and assess operating
problems associated with combustion modifi-
cation. Statistics were analyzed to describe the
field population and recent sales trends for
firetube and watertube industrial boilers in the
range from 10 million to 500 million Btu/hr.
Boiler capacity, design type, mode of direction,
primary and secondary fuels, firing method (for
coal), industrial classification, and geographic
region of the boiler installation were all con-
sidered. When combustion modifications are
used to control nitrogen oxide emissions from
•industrial boilers, practical operating problems
may arise, namely: fireside corrosion and
deposits on boiler tubes; and flame instability,
including blow-off, flashback, combustion-
driven oscillations, and combustion noise or
roar. These problems were assessed and
research needs were identified in relation to
Such combustion modifications as low-excess-
air operation, staged combustion, and fluegas
recirculation.

Literature and theoretical studies have demon-
strated the likely existence of critical thermal
transition regions for biological activity. Highly
nonlinear thermal effects appear to be manifes-
tations of higher-order phase transitions most
likely in the vicinal water of the cellular systems.
The effects are likely invariants in time and
space. Thus, the corresponding critical tem-
perature regions may represent absolute, upper
permissible thermal pollution limits. Laboratory
experiments, using some 18,000 individuals.
have yielded the most accurate thermal
tolerances to date for marine estuarine organ-
isms (including macro-algae and larval stages
of important food-chain organisms). Gaussian
(or skewed-Gaussian) curves for lethal thermal
limits were not observed. Instead an abrupt
death point occurred, often within an interval of
0.5 to 1C. The temperature tolerances obtained
in the laboratory conformed closely to those
observed in the field. Thus upper limits found in
the laboratory for Halimeda. Penicillus, and
Valonia were found to be the thermal limits in
the field.

Household appliances and personal items in
contact with water supply are subject to physi-
cal damages from chemical and other con-
stituents of the water. This study translates
these damages into economic losses for a typi-
cal household. Then it aggregates these losses
at the national and individual state levels. To do
so requires several stages of analysis. First, the
types of physical damages expected and as-
sociated water quality determinants are
identified. The physical effects are next trans-
lated into economic losses. Second, damage
functions are formulated to predict likely im-
pacts of water quality changes on each
household unit affected. Third, a computer pro-
gram based on these functions is designed to
estimate total damages per typical household
and to aggregate them over selected regions.
Finally, the program is applied to state-to-state
data on water supply sources and
Socioeconomic descriptors. Total damages to
U.S. residents in 1970 are estimated in the
range, S0.6S-S3.45 billion, with a mean of $1.75

son. States contributing most to total damages
are California ($230 million) and Illinois ($164

takes advantage of storage in the sewers to

Laboratory tests were conducted to determine
which system of chemicals would be most ef-
fective on combined packinghouse and
domestic waste. A dual system of chemicals
was found which was effective in the treatment
of this combined waste. This was a combination
of ferric chloride and an anionic polyelec-
trolyte. This system was effective in forming a
floe which would settle out under the dynamic
conditions of the overloaded primary sedimen-
tation tank. Treatment with this system could
effectively reduce suspended solids in the ef-
fluent of the primary sedimentation tank over
what could be achieved without the use of this
dual system. This was demonstrated by
running: (1) a parallel system of identical tests
and control tanks and, (2) full plant scale in-
vestigation for both test and control periods,
kept as identical as possible. When full plant
scale tests were run, laboratory data were col-
lected from various sampling points throughout
the plant during the test and control periods. A
significant reduction of BOD and suspended
solids was obtained in the primary sedimenta-
tion tanks and a change in efficiency was not
observed on the trickling filters resulting in an
overall reduction in these parameters in the ef-
fluent from the secondary sedimentation tank.
The cost of chemically treating the combined
10 mgd of wastewater would be approximately
$45 per million gallons and would be less for
strictly domestic wastes.

The efficiency of pilot-size Barriered Land-
scape Water Renovation Systems (BLWRS) to
renovate flushed livestock waste was studied.
The BLWRS is a modified permeable soil that
has an aerobic zone for the filtering and oxida-
tion of the waste and an anaerobic zone to
which an energy source is added to create an
environment for denitrification. Two pairs of
BLWRS 0.008 ha. in size were constructed
using a polyvinyl barrier to create the anaerobic
zone and contain the effluent. Flush waste from
swine or dairy cattle were applied on each pair
of BLWRS. The waste effluents and BLWRS soil
were periodically analyzed for nutrients, ox-
ygen demand and pathogens. The BLWRS has
been shown to be an efficient system for
renovating large quantities of livestock waste
and should be tested on a commercial scale
with continuous monitoring.

The technical and economic feasibility was
determined of treating dairy waste in a liquid
state by a tandem thermophilic-mesophilic
aerobic stabilization process, more commonly
described as liquid composting. Experimental
apparatus were set up at an operating dairy. A
large fraction of dairy manure is relatively re-
sistant to rapid biological degradation even at
thermophilic temperatures. Antithetical
requirements of sufficient oxygen for maximum
biological activity and minimum air flow to
preclude the need for an external heat source
could not be satisfied with the particular experi-
mental apparatus when utilizing air as the ox-
ygen source. Improved results were obtained
with an oxygen-enriched air supply which
pointed out the potential advantage of a pure
oxygen system. Preliminary cost estimates for a
liquid composting process to serve 500 cows
were developed within the context of current
dairy operation economics.

The set of guidelines is based on Federal and
State regulations that set standards to protect
the total environment. Although major highway
construction is under stringent regulation,
pioneer type access roads such as are needed
by loggers, miners, land developers, etc., have
been neglected. These smaller roads frequently
pose serious erosion hazards because
planning, design, and construction of them is
not thorough, as it is for major roads;.this
results in erosion, fire, and insect traps, and
generally unattractive roadways. Suggestions
and recommendations contained in these
guidelines are for the use of operators with
limited .engineering and planning staffs.
Although all examples of poor practices are
from the vicinity of Fairbanks, all suggested
treatments are taken from the literature from
the conterminous United States with some
modifications for subarctic conditions.

Two types of lithium-drifted, solid-state, ger-
manium detectors were compared for their
ability to detect and measure mercury in
matrices of different complexity. The authors
compared a large, coaxial detector with rela-
tively high efficiency and a good peak-to-
Compton ratio, and a thin wafer detector, called
a low energy photon detector (LEPD). which
has a good resolution for low energy photons.
In samples with relatively few elements primari-
ly of low atomic number, the large detector is
preferred because of its greater counting effi-
ciency. In complex samples containing many
elements that interfere with the mercury peak,
e.g., samarium, thorium, barium, and tungsten,
the detector of choice is the LEPD because of
its ability to resolve the gamma photons. The
choice of detector for intermediate samples
would depend on the quantity of interfering ele-
ments present.

recommended. However, it is essential that a
systematic approach be used in evaluating
each site. Current intake structure technology
limits the minimization of environmental
damage to the protection of adult and immature
fish, important to Lake Michigan. Intake siting
is the most important factor in avoiding intake
problems. Site determination and intake
design, including flow velocity and mechanical
equipment considerations, should be preceded
by a monitoring program.

The report is a revision of WATER QUALITY
CRITERIA, the 1968 Report of the National
Technical Advisory Committee (NTAC) to the
Secretary of the Interior. The guidelines for the
Academies' Committee were similar to those by
the NTAC. The Committee's six Panels were: (1)
Recreation and aesthetics; (2) public water sup-
plies; {3) freshwater aquatic life and wildlife; (4)
marine aquatic life and wildlife; (5) agricultural
uses of water, and (6) industrial water supplies.
In the 1972 Report many new subjects are
discussed in detail, among them: The recrea-
tional impact of boating, levels of use, disease
vectors, nuisance organisms, and aquatic
vascular plants; viruses in relation to public
water supplies; effects of total dissolved gases
on aquatic life; guidelines for toxicologies!
research on pesticides and uses of toxicants in
fisheries management; disposal of solid wastes
in the ocean; use of waste water for irrigation;

Intense interest in preserving the quality of the
environment has reactivated interest in the
management of wastewaters by applying them
to the land. Use of land application approaches
for wastewater management must be updated
to conform to new concepts of conserving and
protecting the quality of land and water
resources. Design and operation of land-based
wastewater management systems is dependent
on site selection, the degree of water renova-
tion desired, and the planned use of the site as
well as the basic physical, chemical, and
biochemical processes which influence system
performance. The 32 individual papers included
in this report are presented in sections which
cover municipal wastewater characteristics, the
function of the soil in the treatment process.
vegetation responses, system design and cost,
examples of operating systems, and the status
of guidelines for land disposal of wastewater.

The proposed action involves Federal financial
assistance for the construction of an eight mil-
lion gallon per day (mgd) wastewater treatment
facility and associated elements of a sewage
collection system. Various municipalities par-
ticipating in the Valley Forge Area Wastewater
Treatment Project have applied to EPA via con-
struction grant applications for financial aid in
constructing portions of the project. The mu-
nicipalities consist of: Charlestown, East Pike-
land, Schuylkill. Tredyffrin, Willistown, East
Whiteland and Easttown Townships and Mal-
vern Borough, all of which are located in
Chester County, Pennsylvania. Minor short-
term adverse impacts are anticipated during in-
itial construction of the facilities. These con-
struction-associated impacts will result in in-
creased noise levels, disruption of traffic, in-
convenience to residents, siltation of streams,
disruption to wildlife habitats and slight
decreases in ambient air quality in areas proxi-
mate to construction. Portions of this docu-
ment are not fully legible.

Electrophoretic mobility measurements of coal
and pyrite particles in distilled water revealed a
difference between the migration speeds of the
two materials toward the anode in a d.c. electric
field. This information led to the development
of a laboratory electrophoresis column for
spearating fine pyrite from coal by utilizing the
electrokinetic and the specific gravity dif-
ferences between coal and pyrite. The study
demonstrated on a laboratory scale that pyrite
and other impurities can be separated from fine
coal be electrophoresis using a stage separa-
tion technique. After the initial success of the
laboratory electrophoresis column, attempts
were made to refine the apparatus and several
scale-up techniques were considered. This
work, however, was halted pending an
economic evaluation of the process. Although
the evaluation showed the process to be im-
practical for commercial coal preparation, it is
believed that the electrphoresis column may
have some application as a laboratory device.

The effects of digested sludge application on
the chemical composition of soil, plant, and
water samples from a large field lysimeter facili-
ty are discussed. Specific hygienic aspects of
digested sludge were also investigated and, it
was found that viruses are not likely to survive
the heated anaerobic digester environment
and, although digested sludge contains large
populations of fecal coliform bacteria, these or-
ganisms die away rather rapidly during storage
and after spreading on the soil. Results from
green house and field studies indicate that
several crop plants show favorable growth
responses when fertilized with digested sludge,
however, concentration levels of several chemi-
cal elements in soils are increased above native
amounts and are also increased in plant tis-
sues. As long as digested sludge application
rates do not exceed those which will result in
unacceptable concentration levels of NO3-N in
drainage or groundwaters, sludge of the quality
employed in the study can be safely used to in-
crease the production of good quality crops.

A survey is made of current and historical infor-
mation relating to the quality of the waters of
Green Bay, Lake Michigan. The steady decline
in water quality over the last four decades is
documented. A historical shift in fish produc-
tion from high quality native species to low
quality exotic species has occurred. Increasing
areas of the Bay exhibit low oxygen levels. In
winter, under the ice, low oxygen levels now ex-
tend into the Bay as far as 40 kilometers.
Nutrient loads have caused the areas where
eutrophic conditions exist to increase. These
and other factors have led to a dislocation of
recreational use. Documentation of the ex-
pected reduction in pollutant loads due to
present control strategies is also provided.
Field studies performed in this program in-
dicate slight improvements in bay water quality
over recent years.

The report gives results of a study of the use of
light transmission and photometric scattering
measurements using lasers for sizing
polydispersed metallic paniculate systems
(often with unknown index of refraction)
produced by a dc electric arc smoke generator.
The two-angle forward scattering intensity ratio
method gives by far the most accurate.results:
most important, it does not depend on a
knowledge of the refractive index. Average size
measurements have been obtained with this
technique on several metallic and non-metallic
particulate systems; the size distribution can
also be obtained by computer calculation. The
polarization ratio method gives better sensitivi-
ty for smaller sub-micron particles (though de-
pendent on refractive index unless forward
scattering is used) and has been used success-
fully to measure size distribution of sub-micron
latex spheres. Also discussed is combining the
intensity ratio method (at two forward scatter-
ing angles) and the polarization ratio method
(at one forward angle) for sizing polydispered
particulate systems, and developing it into real-
time devices for air pollution control.

The study's main objectives are (1) to calculate
the relationship between specified levels of a
uniform national sulfur emissions tax, and the
resulting reduction in projected emissions from
primary stationary source emitters: (2) to esti-
mate the costs of emission-reduction activities
that ensue as a consequence of a given emis-
sion-tax level; and (3) to determine the tax
revenue generated in light of alternative emis-
sion tax levels, and hence the total gross en-
vironmental costs imposed on sulfur emitters.

The report gives results of a study to develop

be used at EPA's test facility at Shawnee. Three
problem areas developed in analyzing the ther-
modynamically unstable slurry streams en-
countered in lime/limestone-based SO2 wet
scrubbing processes: sampling, sample han-
dling, and chemical analysis. Positive-pressure
filtration was found to lower the mass transfer
phenomena during the filtration step to an ac-
ceptable level. Quenching of the filtered liquid
was chosen to avoid changing sample com-
position. Two sets of analytical methods were
selected for application at Shawnee: the back-
up methods are based on atomic absorption
and wet chemical procedures: and the rapid
field methods are based on X-ray fluorescence,
atomic absorption, and wet chemical analysis.
The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was auto-
mated by interfacing it with a NOVA 1200
rninicomputer. Additional peripheral devices
have the function of processing all raw data.
The raw data are input to the system with a card
reader, a teletype, or a CRT. The final results are
stored on a magnetic tape. A hard copy is pro-
vided by a printer.

The report describes results of a research study
of the pollution characteristics of high-pressure
atomizing. No. 2 distillate fuel oil burners. The
main emphasis was on optimizing burner
design to minimize pollutant emissions when
firing into refractory-lined combustion cham-
bers. The atomizing characteristics, and flow
and composition profiles in the combustion
zones of several commercial burners were
determined experimentally. Nitric oxide (NO)
formation was most prevalent in the near-
stoichiometric combustion zones where local
flow conditions led to vigorous gas mixing.
These data were used to design variable
geometry burners, used to optimize burner
geometry for minimizing pollutant emissions.
The optimum geometry burners were fabricated
in fixed-geometry versions and tested exten-
sively to verify their low air pollutant emissions.
Substantial reductions (about 50 percent) in NO
emissions were achieved by optimizing conven-
tional designs, with negligible emissions of
other pollutants. Also, several nonconventional
burner designs were built and tested: two of
these led to very low NO emissions.

A detailed demonstration project was per-

of a polluted alluvial aquifer and subsequent
recharge by rainfall would have on the decon-
tamination rate of the polluted alluvium. The al-
luvial deposits within the project area were pol-
luted by years of brine water disposal from oil
field operations into unlined earthen pits,
secondary oil recovery operations, and aban-
doned and improperly plugged oil wells.
Secondary benefits of the project were to deter-
mine the effect that removal of contaminated
alluvial water would have on downstream water
quality, and on the quality of water in a
minicipal water supply located downstream
from the project site. Contaminated water
withdrawn from the alluvium was disposed of in
a deep disposal well having a depth of 5,700
feet. An evaluation of the project indicated that
contaminated water from alluvial deposits can
successfully be collected and disposed of.

This study examines the effects of changing the
proportions of automotive distillate fuel and

provides a partial answer to whether a shift to
increased distillate production, thai would be
necessary if there were a widespread use of
vehicles requiring distillate fuel, would result in
significant improvements in resource utiliza-
tion. Calculations for a grass-roots refinery,
that would come on stream in the 1990-2000

changes in gasoline/distillate ratio need to be
analyzed to establish the practicality of moving
in the direction of equal quantities of distillate
and gasoline. The impact on petrochemicals
and other industries may be substantial.

The resistivity of fly ash is often too high under
a particular set of operating conditions to per-
mit the most efficient use of an electrostatic
precipitator. A variety of substances, generally
referred to as conditioning agents, can be
added to the boiler or to the effluent gas
downstream to attenuate the high resistivity.
The report gives results of a review of recent
research, including the results of two field tests
of sodium conditioning, on the effects of sodi-
um content on the electrical resistivity of coal
fly ash. It presents a procedure for calculating
the amount of sodium that must be added to
reduce fly ash electrical resistivity to a desired
value. It discusses advantages and disad-
vantages of sodium conditioning for reducing

were studied in detail: acetaldehyde-Pitt-

Pittsburgh BPL charcoal. Fixed-bed
breakthrough data were taken for the acetal-
dehyde—Pittsburgh PCB charcoal system at an
acetaldehyde concentration of 28 ppm. These
data were analyzed using a modeling approach
that indicated that the rate-controlling step was
intraparticle diffusion. Preliminary design cal-
culations based on this work indicate that
fixed-bed adsorption with charcoal is a feasible
process for the removal of small concentrations
of acetaldehyde and ethylmercaptan from pol-
luted air.

both the ammonium bisulate regeneration step
and the absorption step. Both pilot plants were
designed for about 4000 acfm of flue gas at

flue gas temperature, recirculated absorber
liquor pH, opacity of the plume leaving the ab-
sorber stack, oxidation of sulfite to sulfate in
the absorber liquor, and the fly ash level in the
flue gas entering the absorber.

The feasibility of reclaiming poultry processing
wastewater for reuse where potable water is
presently required was studied at the Sterling
Processing Corporation plant in Oakland. MD,
by the Maryland State Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene. In addition, extensive
study was made of poultry processing raw
waste characteristics and proportions of wastes
generated during processing and plant
cleanup. Effluent characteristics from a two-
stage aerated lagoon are reported. The reclaim-
ing process consisted of a two-stage aerated
lagoon wastewater treatment system followed
by an advanced water treatment system of
microstraining, flocculation, sedimentation,
and sand filtration. The bacteriological, chemi-
cal, and physical drinking water standards of
the U.S. Public Health Service were consistently
met.

A digital simulation of a conventional diesel fuel
injection system was developed. The influence
of such factors as wave propagation
phenomena, pipe friction, and cavitation are in-
cluded. The computer results are compared
with transient pressures as measured on an ac-
tual fuel injection system operated on a test
bench. The comparisions show the accuracy
and validity of this simulation scheme. Analyti-
cal control methods were developed to help
determine two design means by which after-in-
jection may be controlled. These release the in-
jection system excess elastic energy in a con-
trolled manner. One design involves the modifi-
cation of the pump spill port. Pressures and
flow are not significantly altered during the
main injection period. The ability of the system
to control after-injection is confirmed by use of
a simulation program and with experimental
data.

volved a review of the procedure as developed
and subsequent laboratory experiments to
better define some obscure points in the
procedure. The constancy of the method's col-
lection efficiency, the addition of n-butanol to
enhance the collection efficiency and the need
to use fritted bubblers as gas dispersers to as-
sure high collection efficiency were the main
points investigated in these experiments.

The document presents a review -of the ex-
perience with major forms of regional govern-
ment in metropolitan areas. Within four broad
categories, case studies were done of nine dif-
ferent types of regional governmental arrange-
ments. Findings were that the core of what is
called metropolitan government in the United
States is the county, usually reorganized and
given urtx n powers. There are no multi-county
general purpose metropolitan governments in
the United States. Patterns of regional govern-
mental arrangements based on the urban coun-
ty were judged more effective in dealing with
emerging environmental management
problems than patterns based on special dis-
tricts and regional councils of government. In
virtually every case, further state action was
needed to make the regional arrangements
more effective. Metropolitan regional reor-
ganization has occured in over 20% of the
states, and therefore should be possible in most
urban states.

Results of a bench-scale and laboratory-scale
experimental investigation of the feasibility of
applying fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) of
coal to power generation are given. The FBC
concept would combust coal at elevated pres-
sure (to 10 atrn) in a fluidized bed of dolomite,
which reacts with the SO2 formed during com-
bustion. The partially sulfated dolomite is then
regenerated using one of the two alternative
techniques: a one-step reductive decomposi-
tion technique (converting CaSO4 to CaO and
SO2); or a two-step technique involving the
reduction of CaSO4 to CaS, followed by reac-
tion of the CaS with H2O and CO2 to form
CaCO3 and H2S. Results of the pressurized
FBC tests indicate favorable air pollutant emis-
sion control, with 90-95% reduction in SO2
emission, and with NO levels of about 150 ppm,
well below EPA's New Source Performance
Standards for large coal boilers. Initial sorbent
regeneration studies showed significant deac-
tivation and decrepitation of the dolomite;
further investigation is necessary in the area of
regeneration.

sources. It evaluates developments in the
character of emission (NOx) sources and in
(NOx) control technology. It is concluded that
planning priority should be for coal-fired utility
and industrial boilers, followed by stationary in-
ternal combustion (I.C.) engines. The most at-
tractive short- and long-term option for control
of (NOx) emissions is combustion modification
technology. The priority items are development
of techniques for control of the conversion of
fuel-bound nitrogen to NO, and development of
combustion modifications for the major area
sources such as pipeline I.C. engines, and com-
mercial and domestic combustion units.

The report describes initial results of a program
to measure and model the precipitation
scavenging of urban pollutants in the St. Louis
area. The primary field measurements of the
program are of concentrations of trace inor-
ganics in rainwater collected at specific loca-
tions in the area. A review of possible field ex-
perimental designs in the context of the model-
ing objectives of this study indicates that the
concept of a regional pollution material
balance is an appropriate initial approach. The
scavenging term in the balance is the scaveng-
ing rate, the mass of a given pollutant removed
per unit distance along the storm path per unit
time. These rates were computed from the con-
centrations measured during five convective
storms in August, 1972. (Modified author ab-

The review focuses on three disorders—asthma,
chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Particular
emphasis is directed toward the latter two
maladies. Chronic lung diseases either cause or
contribute to an increasing number of deaths
throughout the world. Practical measures for
identifying persons who have chronic respira-
tory disease, particularly through the use of
standardized questionnaires, are described.
The review cites studies from several countries
that explore the distribution and the etiology of
chronic respiratory disease, including the ef-
fects of air pollution. Most studies have con-
firmed the initial observation that the most im-
portant factor in the natural history of chronic
respiratory disease is smoking, particularly
cigarette smoking. Occupational exposure is
also important, with workers in dusty occupa-
tions evidencing an excess of chronic respira-
tory disease.

DOT or dieldrin or 2,4,5 T administered to male
mice caused significant reductions in the as-
similation of androgens by sex accessory or-
gans. ODT or dieldrin altered the metabolism of
testosterone in the prostrate gland and in the
liver. DDT-3H administration led to the detec-
tion of significant amounts of tritium in male
reproductive organs. Unlike the or-
ganochlorine-type pesticides, neither carbaryl
nor parathion administration altered androgen
metabolism. The administration of carbaryl-14C
led to detectable amounts of radioactivity in
several organs of reproduction including the
seminal vesicles, prostate gland and testes. The
fungicide thiophanate and thiophante-methyl
had no affect upon spermatogenesis or upon
the metabolism of androgens.

The following conclusions are made: Fer-

safely and economically produced in sealed
furnaces with or without substantial pretreat-
ment of feed material. Calcium carbide can be
safely produced in sealed furnaces without ad-
ditional pretreatment beyond that already per-
formed by domestic producers. There appear to
be several economic advantages for the United
States industry to use steel scrap rather than
iron ore for the production of ferrosilicon. It is
recommended that the standards of per-
formance allow open furnaces to be used in
conjunction with the best available control
equipment Although sealed furnaces are su-
perior from an air pollution control aspect
restricting the industry to this process could ul-
timately result in limited product flexibility and
possible decreased Intercorporate competition.

(scrubber). Analysis for toluene di-isocyanate
(TDI) and amines was conducted both on site
and on a delayed basis. The sampling train in-
cluded an impinger for colorimetric measure-
ment of TDI. Cryogenic traps and a tape sam-
pler for TDI were also used for the scrubber
inlet samples. The outlet sampling manifold
consisted of evacuated bulbs in place of the
cryogenic traps because of the high moisture
content. TDI emissions were found to be max-
imum in the first part of the resin formation
reaction. It appears there is no emissions
hazard. The scrubber had negligible effect on
the TDI emissions.

determination of areas for further research
were stressed. Four shallow lakes in Orange
County, FL.. namely Lake Mizell, Lake Osceola,
Lake Maitland, and Lake Claire were studied.
Changes in several water quality parameters
before and after limited boating activity were
monitored. Agitation and mixing by boating ac-
tivity destratified the lake and in some cases, in-
creased oxygen concentration and the rate of
oxygen uptake by suspended matter. An in-
crease in turbidity was observed and was
generally dependent on water depth, motor
power, and nature of bottom deposits.

The report describes 18 different measures that
have been used or proposed for use in main-
taining air quality standards in regional areas.
For each measure, information has been as-
sembled on current applications, recommenda-
tions for implementing, estimates of potential
effectiveness, and conditions under which the
measure is most applicable. Many of them are
based on land-use or regional planning, con-
cerned primarily with new sources of emis-
sions. These include emission allocation
procedures, emission density zoning, zoning
approvals, transportation controls, emission
charges, transfer of emission source location,
indirect source review, and environmental im-
pact statements- Others are technological in
nature.

A semi-automatic method for distributing area
source emissions on a sub-county basis is
presented. Demographic information for cen-
sus tracts within the county is used as the basis
for the distribution of the emissions. The capa-
bility exists for inserting override factors for
each designated sub-area within the county.
This capability enables the user to redistribute
portions of county-wide area source emissions
if there is a better basis for doing so. The
methodology may be used to estimate present
emission distributions in the air quality main-
tenance analysis procedure. The override fea-
ture enables the methodology to be extended
so that it may be applied to estimate future dis-
tributions of area source emissions more re-
liably.

The report gives results of an intensive emis-

reduction in both gaseous and participate air
pollutants caused by the conversion of a con-
ventional krafl recovery boiler (utilizing direct
contact evaporation) to a new controlled-odor
design that eliminates direct contact evapora-
tion. It documents both the cost and emission
control capability of the modification. The pro-
gram also investigated major process variables
that affect kraft recovery boiler operation and
the emissions resulting therefrom in order to
establish boiler operating conditions to
minimize emissions. Investigated were: boiler
loading, liquor sulfidity. air flow, air distribu-
tion, and liquor solids concentration. Particu-
late emissions were primarily affected by and
directly proportional to the amount of black
liquor solids burned in the recovery furnace
(boiler loading). SO2 emissions were primarily
dependent on the sulfidity level of the cooking
liquor being recovered. Total reduced sulfur
(TRS) emissions were primarily affected by ex-
cess oxygen levels, with an increase in oxygen
resulting in a decrease in TRS.

May and August 1973. Objectives of the test
program were: to quantify atmospheric pollu-

ing operation: to provide a comparative evalua-
tion of a pollution abatement system (an im-
proved design larry car versus an existing larry
car): and to determine the feasibility of a com-
pliance monitoring system concept based on
optical measurement. All program objectives
were accomplished: emission characteristics of
the charging operation have been defined in
terms of both gases and particulates released
to the atmosphere. Emissions were also defined
from leaking seals on the pushed side doors of
the oven. Several pertinent conclusions were
also developed relating to coke oven emissions
measurement technology.

using the SASOL-type process are assessed.
This process is based on a SASOL plant which
has been operated commercially for more than
20 years for the manufacture of gasoline, fertil-
izers, and other chemicals from coal in South
Africa. The SASOL plant has been modified
slightly to suit the product spectrum of the pro-

Antigen E was prepared in pure form while both
of the minor antigens, K and Ra3, were not
processed to purity. Twenty kilograms of pollen
were defatted and extracted with water. The an-
tigens were then isolated by salt precipitation
and column chromatography. The process was
monitored with electrophoresis and immune
precipitin tests. The final bulk of antigen E ob-
tained was tested for purity and lyophilized be-
fore shipment. Total yield was 5.4g of pure an-
tigen E and approximately 374g of the side frac-
tions containing K and Ra3. Micro-Ouchterlony
tests of antigen E gave a single precipitin line
with anti-antigen E serum. Immunoelec-
trophoresis resulted in a triphasic precipitin
band corresponding to the three bands ob-
tained in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
UV absorption scans of the antigen E showed a
typical protein peak at 280 nm wavelength, and
micro-Kjeldahl analysis gave a nitrogen content
of 15.4%. All test results were compatible with
published reports and indicated that the an-
tigen E prepared meets a high degree of purity.

within it, in contrast to an earlier method in
which the photochemical kinetics is considered
in a three-dimensional space of fixed Eulerian

The report summarizes the results of collabora-

for use in the determination of emission levels
of specified pollutants from stationare sources.
The methods tested were Method 7 (Oxides of
Nitrogen). Method 6 (Sulfur Dioxide), and
Method 5 (Particulates). The tests were con-
ducted using four collaborative teams sampling
simultaneously. In conjunction with the col-
laborative tests of Methods 6 and 7. auxiliary
tests were incorporated into the test plan to
allow the partitioning of the methods into field
and analytical phases for analysis. The col-
laborators were required to sample standard
gas mixtures at three concentration levels addi-
tion to the stack samples. The collaborators
were also provided with standard liquid sam-
ples of either potassium nitrate or sulf uric acid,
the concentrations of which were unknown to
them. These samples were submitted to
replicate analysis during the same period in
which the stack and standard gas samples were
being analyzed. These determinations allowed
the accuracy of the method to be ascertained
and the precision of the method to be parti-
tioned into its component parts. The concentra-
tions determined by the collaborators from all
sources were submitted to statistical analysis.
The results summarize the findings presented
in detail in the individual reports on each study.

characterized, chemically analyzed, and
fabricated into sintered-disc resistivity
specimens. Resistivity and transference experi-
ments were performed in the temperature
range in which volume conduction prevails.
Results confirmed conclusions of an earlier in-
vestigation: the volume conduction mechanism
for fly ash is ionic; and the charge carriers are
the alkali metal ions, principally sodium. In-
creasing iron concentration caused a resistivity
decrease for a given level of sodium and lithi-
um. From these data, empirical equations were
developed to predict the volume resistivity of fly
ash as a function of ash chemistry, tempera-
ture, and porosity.

The role of surface geophysical characteristics
(e.g.. albedo, thermal admittance. Bowen ratio,
emissivity) in the partitioning of energy at the
complex and heterogeneous metropolitan
earth-air interface has been evaluated through
a unique application of Lettau's climatonomy
theory. In contrast to the conventional ap-
proach that first specifies an inventory of
'appropriate' surface descriptors and then at-
tempts to evaluate or interpret observed cli-
matic features, the climatonomica! methodolo-
gy permits the determination of the surface
descriptors on the basis of the observed diurnal
response of the surface to the observed forcing
function of available solar energy. Features of
various land-use types (e.g., farmland, subur-
ban residential, commercial) can then be evalu-
ated in the context of the surface energy
budget For example, if the subsurface heat flux
is treated by assuming the medium is a
homogeneous conductor, then an effective
thermal admittance is derived that satisfies the
assumption and the observed diurnal response
of surface temperature.

Research and development on the desulfuriza-
tion methods of stack discharge are advancing
but there is yet to emerge a practically applica-
ble procedure. The direct reduction method of
sulfur dioxide by carbon monoxide converts
sulfur dioxide into sulfur according to SO2 plus
2CO equal 1 /2S2 plus 2CO2. The purpose of the
present paper is to present the results of the
authors' research on the possibility of direct
reduction by carbon monoxide of the sulfur
dioxide contained in the exhaust gas from a
combustion furnace. By means of small, fixed-
floor type equipment and by using a gas mix-
ture consisting of SO2, CO. CO2 and N2, the
catalytic effects (mainly of bauxite), the reac-
tion speed and the chemical equilibrium were
studied under the conditions of reaction tem-
peratures 100 - 900C and contact time less than

The beryllium ion. energetic inhibitor of al-

longed dialysis. It follows from this that, id the
Be(+r ion is an energetic inhibitor of alkaline
phosphatase in the tissues and their extracts,
the modalities of its action on the purified en-
zyme are identical to those of other cations,
particularly Zn(+}. The interchangeability of
divalent metals in the reactivation of alkaline

In an investigation of about 1,000 workers in
these mines, individual cases of a mild Parkin-
son's disease were discovered as well as lighter
forms of encephalopathy. In a group of wor-
kers, manifestations of functional disturbance
of the nervous system were discovered com-
bined with single microorganic symptoms of in-
jury of the central nervous system. This leads to
the assumption that they suffer from the initial
stage of chronic manganese intoxication. Pro-
longed observation wilt be required to arrive at
a final solution for the question of the etiology
of these changes. The results of the observation
indicate that it is necessary to carry out mea-
sures to improve the medico-sanitary services
and to assure healthier working conditions for
the workers in the Chiatura manganese mines.
Such measures are being taken at the present
time.

photolytic reaction plays an important role in
the formation of photochemical smog, and in-
formation about the amount of actinic energy
available in the lower atmosphere is required
for the development of mathematical models of
the atmospheric processes. This report
describes the development and testing of an
actinometer designed to measure the actinic
energy available for the photolytic dissociation
of NO2. A spherical test bulb contains a mixture
of NO2 and O2 when it has been in the dark for
several minutes. When the bulb is exposed to
solar energy NO is formed; its concentration is
monitored by gas-cell correlation methods in-
volving the infrared adsorption by NO. A shutter
periodically shades the test bulb from the sun
fora one-minute period each two minutes. Dur-
ing the shaded period, part of the NO recom-
bines with 02 to form NO2. The cyclic change in
the NO concentration is related to the actinic ir-
radiance.

The report presents results of a laboratory
study on production of hydrogen sulfide by
reaction between water vapor at 700-800C and
iron sulfide contained in neutral-roasted pyritic
copper ore concentrate. Hydrogen sulfide thus
obtained was to be reacted with sulfur dioxide
emitted from copper smelter converters. In this
manner sulfur emissions from a smelter could
be controlled and recovered in the form of ele-
mental sulfur. It was determined that the above
treatment of copper ore concentrate could yield
necessary quantities of hydrogen sulfide. The
concentration of yielded hydrogen sulfide,
however, was limited in the stream to less than
1.0 percent by reaction equilibrium conditions,
thus implying excessively high energy require-
ments and causing this control approach to be
significantly more expensive than known con-
ventional processes. Alternative means of
hydrogen sulfide production are dealt with in
the second volume of the report.

The report gives results of bench-scale experi-
ments on the ways in which energy consump-
tion, liquid-to-gas ratio (L/G), and water vapor
condensation affect the collection efficiency of
a conventional, cocurrent-contact, orifice-type
particulate scrubber. The test aerosol consisted
of spherical particles of ammonium fluorescein
with a mass-median diameter of about 0.6
micron. Scrubber collection efficiency was
determined and correlated as a function of the
effective friction loss across the scrubber.
Without condensation or evaporation effects,
scrubber efficiency was dependent only upon
effective friction loss, with no independent in-
fluences of gas velocity, L/G, or contactor ori-
fice size, except possibly in the range of very
low gas velocities, L/G, and pressure drops.
Large amounts of water evaporation reduced
collection efficiencies; but scrubbing hot
humid gas with cold water (to produce conden-
sation) significantly increased collection effi-
ciency. The most favorable results were ob-
tained by presaturating the hot humid gas
stream before contacting it with cold water.

The stability and the lifetime of heavily loaded
columns are determined by the pore structure
of the support. If linear velocities up to 5-10
cm/sec are wanted the optimum pore diameter
should not exceed 500 A. The retentions are in-
fluenced by the support if its specific surface
area is larger than 10 sq m/g. especially if the
samples are capable of hydrogen bonding. This
influence can be reduced by chemical modifi-
cation of the support. Optimum efficiencyis
achieved by such supports. Heavily loaded
column are well suited for semi-preparative
separations, since the maximal sample size is
around 10 mg per gram of a stationary liquid
phase. Speedy separations can be achieved by

By establishing in situ experimental
ecosystems, it was possible to conduct pollu-
tion research under actual conditions. The ex-
periments were carried out in an oyster culture
basin of a lagoon in the Sables d'Olonne region
by using devices to section off the water into a
number of similar natural environmental com-
partments to be used for pollutant treatments
and controls. The product Corexit produced
only weak and temporary changes. Sefoil acted
as a fertilizer, provoking a rapid increase in
photosynthesis and chlorophyll a concentra-
tion: this was followed by considerable growth
in the zooplankton, particularly the copepods,
which resulted in the disappearance of the
phytoplankton by the end of the experiment.
The surface-active fraction of the third product
used, Gamosol, caused an almost complete in-
hibition of photosynthesis during the entire 15
days of the experiment.

The purpose of the report is to show that in ad-
dition to real water-related diseases, which
have specific and fixed causes, the possibility
exists, that there could be a correlation
between disease and one or more water-related
or reported factors. In these cases, it is the rule
not to give a simple correlation between cause
and effect. The use of drinking water of a cer-
tain composition can represent a necessary
precondition for the development of a certain
disease, but does not necessarily have to be the
only cause.

emulsifiers studied are the products designated
E22, E30, E41, E46, E47, E52, and E53. The
overall results appear to show that product E47
was the least toxic of the seven emulsifiers stu-
died, despite the fact that the LD50 value was
relatively low for Artemia salina, a Crustacea.

Four effects given have to be differentiated in
the action of forest belts and forest fringes on
the distribution of waste gases and smoke
damage: Reduced wind velocity: increased tur-
bulence which remains active even beyond the
leeward fringe of a forest: the actual filtering by
the plants, which is usually minor; and the
physiological relief of the plants as a result of a
wind screen. The concentration of smoke gases
can be reduced by forest belts only in very rare
cases, i.e. when it decreases markedly with in-
creasing height above the ground, e.g. at sites
which are above the original level of smoke dis-
tribution. The fourth effect (protection from
wind) is of major practical importance.

For some years, the beaches of Ivory Coast
have become more and more polluted by
hydrocarbon residues. In addition, plankton net
hauls have shown that the quantities of
hydrocarbons in suspension in sea water are far
from being negligible and generally more im-
portant in shallow water near the coast. The
presence of oil in the stomachs of pelagic fish
and the scarcity of eggs and larvae of these fish
suggest the hypothesis that the decrease in the
yield of these fish in Ivory Coast waters may at
least partially be due to this oil. The authors
suggest that strong action should bs taken in
order to force oil tankers to respect interna-
tional rules concerning -tank cleaning (at a
minimum distance of 100 miles offshore) until
better cleaning methods are employed.

In light scattering methods of measuring parti-

are used to measure the light scattering
phenomena in the particles, and the sizes or the

the measurement characteristics are affected to
a considerable degree by the optical charac-

molecular organic substances. The KNN-
method (K-nearest neighbor), well-known in
pattern recognition, was used to find neighbor-
spectra from a library which are close to the
mass spectrum of an unknown substance.
These neighbors are very suitable to determine
some classes of molecular structures of the
unknown substance, which need not be a
member of the library. On an average the first
neighbor has the highest classifying capability.

250 mass spectra were used as a training set to
compute such classifiers for 31 different
molecular structures; other 250 mass spectra
were used to test the predictive ability P. The
best preprocessing of the spectral data was the
logarithmic transformation of the intensities
and normalization to the base peak. If the train-

A novel, convenient method of particle size
measurement by use of a photomultiplier is
proposed. The measuring equipment consisted
of a source of parallel light beams and an opti-
cal fiber connected to a photomultiplier which
was used as a detector for the variation of light
intensity. When one particle passed through the
detecting section, the output of the photomul-
tiplier changed according to the diameter of the
particle. The relationship between the
photomultiplier output and the particle diame-
ter was numerically computed by using the
theory of geometrical optics, and the results
were confirmed experimentally. This report
describes the computed results, the circuit for
measurement, the method of calibrating the de-
tectors, the estimation of errors due to the
coexistence of particles in the slit, and exam-
ples of particle size measurements.

micrometer. There is another range which may
be even more significant: that between 10 to the
-7th power and 10 to the -5th power cm (in
radius). So far these dimensions have been
treated only theoretically. It therefore seemed
essential to develop an experimental procedure
permitting observation of aerosols within these
radii. The seventh and eighth stages of an
eight-stage impactor were studied by electron
microscope.

carbon evolved as CO2 in six months. The rate
of decomposition at the high loading rates of 90
and 224 metric tons/ha of dry solids was found
to be independent of differences in soil chemi-
cal properties. Differences in soil texture in-
fluenced sludge decomposition indirectly by in-
fluencing soil aeration under saturated
moisture conditions. A relationship was shown
between the percent sludge carbon evolved as
CO2 and monthly degree days which will pro-
vide a method for predicting the amount of
sludge decomposition in a given climatic area
based on available temperature data. Accumu-
lation of soluble soil nitrogen and soluble salts
in sludge amended soils could limit the rate of
application sewage sludge to soils.

Among the photochemical substances which
are air pollutants, those which are known to
have a strong toxicity towards plants include
ozone, PAN, and nitrogen dioxide. Even though
ozone is the main one of the photochemical
substances, there still appears to be argument
concerning the percentage it occupies among
them. In California. 90% to 95% of the
photochemical substances are ozone, while the
rest consists of PAN and others. In Japan the
problem has become serious only quite
recently, but it has been said that the percent-
age occupied by ozone has a low value which is
quite different from that of California. Little is
known as yet about the composition of the
photochemical substances in various sections
of Japan. The historical background and the
present situation concerning the occurrence of
plant damage in Japan from photochemical
substances is reviewed.

that an ozone generator is cooled by means of
the latent heat of evaporation or the sensible
heat of liquid oxygen, liquid air, or a liquefied
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, while ozone is
generated from these raw materials.

Those of the nitrogen oxides which present
problems in atmospheric pollution are nitrogen
monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Plant exposure
experiments were performed using these two
gases in order to study their effects. From the
manner in which the damage symptoms ap-
peared in the experiments with high-concentra-
tion exposure, it was assumed that nitrogen
monoxide has a remarkably low toxicity in com-
parison with nitrogen dioxide.

The study has attempted to quantify in moneta-
ry terms the effects of air pollution on the con-
sumption of outpatient medical services. The
hypotheses were that air pollution can ag-
gravate a state of health resulting in increased
consumption of outpatient medical services
and in the number of contacts with the medical
system for certain respiratory, cardiovascular,
and other diseases aggravated by air pollution.
The study period was 1969-1970, and centered
in the Portland, Oregon area. Statistical models
were formulated, explaining individual outpa-
tient consumption of medical services. Mea-
sures of suspended particulate air pollution and
meteorological conditions, as well as
socioeconomic-demographic variables thought
to influence the consumption of medical ser-
vices, were included in the models as explana-
tory variables. The statistical results indicated
that the procedures used in the study hold
promise for quantifying the medical costs of air
pollution. The results did show air pollution to
have an effect on the consumption of outpa-
tient medical services used to treat certain
respiratory diseases.

Industrial smoke led to acute damage to
vegetation, and SO2 was the most active sub-
stance in the smoke. Since that time, SO2
discharges have increased tremendously. The
reason for this is first and foremost the great
expansion of industry, the growth of densely
populated areas and the use of oil for heating.
In some places the SO2 concentration in the air
has become so high that practically speaking
all vegetation has died. This is partly the result
of direct damage to leaves and partly the result
of indirect damage due to unbalanced nutrient
conditions in the soil.

Pollution of atmospheric air with sulfur dioxide
increases the sulfur content in the majority of
plants. The sulfur content is determined by both
the gas-absorbing capacity of the leaves and
the efflux of it to other elements. The toxic level
of sulfur content in the leaves depends on the
species of plant and the meteorological condi-
tions during the growing period. The effect of
gradually increasing moisture deficit and high
temperatures leads to strengthening of the pro-
tective reactions of the organisms, and damage
to the leaves is observed at a high absolute sul-
fur content; during wet years, with an abrupt
onset of the dry season, damage is observed
with a lower sulfur content.

mathematical and analogical methods, the
separate permissible standard for concentra-
tions of industrial dibutylphthalate heated
above 140C is 0.001 milligrams per liter of at-

pends upon the modality of its introduction to
the organism. Most toxic are its fumes heated
above 140C which penetrate and consume the
lungs. The substance is weakly toxic in oral ap-
plication. It does not possess skin absorptive
capability. Dibutylphthalate possesses a highly
cumulative effect in inhalation and ingestion.
The cumulative coefficient falls just short of
one, which explains the hypersensitivity as-
sociated with it.

market to combat that pollution. These
products, metal degreasers, ingredients for
plastics, absorbents for use in clean g up indus-

of 101 products for purposes of comparative
study and selection of the best of them. The
study was done under laboratory conditions,
using standard methods in order to obtain ac-
curate, reproducible, and exploitable results.
Three categories were established, according
to how they react with hydrocarbons. The emul-
sifiers, the base of which are organic solvents,
and surface-active products, eliminat the oil on
the surface by converting it into a fine emul-
sion. After that the degradation of the oil by
marine bacteria is much more rapid and its
dispersion better. The agglomerants are low
density powders that absorb the surface

In the acute period of myocardial infarction
against a background of hypertension and
atherosclerosis, a reduction is noted in the con-
tent of zinc, manganese, nickel and iron and an
increase in the level of copper in the blood. By
the start of scaring processes in the myocardi-
um, the content of zinc, manganese and iron in
the blood is close to the initial level, the amount
of nickel remains reduced, the level of copper
continues to remain high. At this periodin the
cardiac muscle there is a significant accumula-
tion of iron, an increase in the nickel content, a
slight increase in the level of manganese; the
content of copper and zinc iswithin normal
limits. In the liver the level of nickel and zinc is
reduced, manganese is increased, zinc andiron
are within normal limits.

The chances of a newborn infant developing
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) rests in
part on the formation of surfactant in his lungs.
Since this substance escapes to the fetal sac,
its concentration in the fluid forms an effica-
cious tool for measuring pulmonary maturity
prior to birth. A simple, rapid, and inexpensive
test was first devised by Clement to determine
the presence of surfactant material in the am-
niotic fluid. The test depends on the ability of
the surfactant to generate stable foam in the
presence of ethanol.

Although it appears to be certain that N-

has an expectoration-promoting effect in
animals, and human beings, the mechanism of
action has not been thoroughly elucidated.
Beside the reduction of viscosity of the
bronchial secretion and a considerable in-
crease in the granula of the secretion and of
lysosomes in the caliciform cells, there also ex-
ists a dispute over an increased absorption
from the bronchial tract. In the present ex-

prospects for further improvements when com-
pared with conventional processes provided
with equivalent air pollution abatement capa-

roasting of pyritic copper concentrates to con-
vert the contained iron into an acid-soluble
form with evolution of some elemental sulfur in
this step. (2) hydrochloric acid leaching of the
roasted concentrate to disolve the iron with
simultaneous hydrogen sulfide generation and
production of an enriched copper sulfide
residue, (3) converting the copper sulfide
residue to blister copper by conventional
means, (4) reducing the sulfur dioxide formed
in the converting step to elemental sulfur with
hydrogen sulfide from the leaching step, and (5)
processing the iron chloride leach solution to
regenerate hydrochloric acid and to yield a
marketable iron oxide.

the gaseous phase. These compounds are then
concentrated on a porous polymer trap under
non-cryogenic conditions and determined by
gas chromatography using a flame ionization or
microcoulometric detector. Details of the
design, fabrication, and use of the apparatus
are described. The method is applicable to or-
ganic compounds that are less than 2% soluble
in water and that boil below 150C. Application
of the method to the determination of a variety
of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons has
been demonstrated on several types of water
including sewage treatment plant effluents.

In this paper the authors have endeavored to
estimate the effect of small changes of inde-
pendent climatic variables on the global energy
budget. In providing a discussion of these
changes, they have approached the problem
from an historical perspective. They have also
investigated the components of these changing
variables as to whether or not their change is
due to natural causes or to man-related activi-
ties. The discussion centers on particulates in
the atmosphere, both natural and man made,
but solar radiation, carbon dioxide, and heat
exchange processes are also considered. At the
end of the paper they arrive at conclusions as to
the importance of climatic change and what
man can do to better define the problems re-
lated to the variables that affect the energy

The report presents a requirements analysis

system needed to use effectively industrial re-
porting data resulting from the proposed Toxic
Substances Control Act. The study finds that
the Office of Toxic Substances requires a
system with flexibility, extensibility of data con-
tent, ability to handle a wide and confidential
nature of the reports, and suitability for im-
mediate installation on a production basis. In
the study both a manual system that minimally
satisfies the basic requirements and a compu-
terized system with much extended capabilities
are found technically feasible. In addition, the
study presents feasible enhancements to the
manual system which extend the manual
system capabilities and show that a continuum
of system decisions exists between the manual
and the computerized system. The study
recommends immediate preparation for the
computerized system in parallel with the adop-
tion of a cost-saving manual system that has a
four-year life expectancy.

accuracy was evaluated by comparing results
obtained by the various methods with results
from splits of the same coal samples. Analytical
procedures given in detail include: neutron ac-

Certain techniques were chosen for determin-
ing specific elements because they are more
accurate, their precision is superior, or they
take less time for analysis. Further com-
parisons, based on analyzing whole coal and its
low- and high-temperature ashes, permitted a
thorough evaluation of trace-element losses
resulting from volatilization during sample

gram were the 1980 AAPS Goals. In the course
of the program burners based on four different
burner concepts were developed and evalu-
ated. Each of these was optimized by experi-
mental development, and data for the optimum
configurations are reported. The burner con-
figuration which met all contract requirements
was a rich-primary burner having internal cool-
ing of the primary zone with boiler tubes. It
could be operated over the firing range from
110 to 1 Ib fuel per hour and met emission goals
at all firing rates. The effect of EGR (Exhaust
Gas Recirculation) on NOx emission was ex-
plored on two configurations. It was found that
EGR reduced NOx emission significantly for
both configurations.

as developed, to judge the adequacy of the
development work and ruggedness testing, as

The report describes the observations from
preliminary studies and pilot plant operations
that were initiated to upgrade the waste effluent
of an integrated textile dye mill. The biological
pilot plant was designed to use activated car-
bon on the basis that the presence of carbon
enhances bio-degradation. Tertiary treatment
of the effluent was also necessary. Two
methods of attaining better water effluent were
investigated. A conventional method, the addi-
tion of an alum system, with alum recovery was
added to the biological treatment system.
Although the effluent quality improved, trace
color remained in the supernatant. An adsor-
bent resin system was tested and found effec-
tive in upgrading the waste effluent to recrea-
tional standards.

A collaborative study has been performed on
Method 6 promulgated by EPA for determining
the concentration of sulfur dioxide emissions
from stationary sources. Method 6 specified the
extraction of a gas sample from the stack, the
separation of the sulfur dioxide from the acid
mist including sulfurtrioxide. and the measure-
ment of the sulfur dioxide fraction as sulfate by
the barium-thorin titration method. Collabora-
tive tests were conducted at both a coal-fired
steam generating power plant and an oil-fired
pilot plant by the same four collaborative
teams. Most (75%) of the reproducibility varia-
tion in a test result resides in the field sampling
phase of Method 6. with 25% occurring in the
analytical phase. Only 13% reproducibility vari-
ance is caused by repeatability sources, while
87% results from lab bias sources.

The reactivity of 20 different aromatic hydrocar-
bons adsorbed on solid polystyrene fluffs with
oxygen and nitric oxide in the presence of light
has been studied. The reaction conditions
simulated those encountered in polluted at-
mospheres. Among the compounds studied
were anthracene, pyrene, naphthalene,
chrysene, benz(a)anthracene and coronene.
The photoexcited triplet and singlet states of
the aromatic hydrocarbons react predomi-
nantly via the quenching of the fluorescence
and phosphorescence by the paramagnetic O2
and NO gases. The probability of quenching per
collisional encounter and the formation of
singlet oxygen depends on spin selection rules,
the triplet energy, and the electron density (in
the case of the monomethyl derivatives of
benz(a)anthracene). NO quenching of the
triplets appears to be a charge-transfer process
for molecules with a high triplet energy. The
most important contribution of the
photoexcited aromatic hydrocarbons (per
photon absorbed) to the photochemistry of at-
mospheres containing O2 and NO appears to
be the generation of singlet oxygen, since
photochemical degradation of the compounds
studied was negligible compared to quenching.

The concept of photochemical reactivity and its
present use in solvent emissions control strate-
gies was reexamined for validity, utility, and
desirability. Such reexamination was dictated
by recent developments, including new experi-
mental evidence on reactivity of organics and
the realization that existing reactivity-related
regulations are inconsistent among them-
selves. It was generally agreed that solvents and
other stationary source emissions must be con-
trolled and that use of reactivity criteria on such
control is, in principal, sound. EPA offered
comments suggesting that the recently verified
pollutant transport phenomena would tend to
make Appendix B-type regulations more effec-
tive relative to the widely used Rule 66 regula-
tion. Another consequence of pollutant trans-
port is that the relatively unreactive organics
are induced to form as much oxidant as the
reactive ones. Therefore, an appropriate reac-
tivity classification of organics should be based
on considerations related to pollution problems
caused both within a region and in the
downwind areas.

Fe(+w*tf are added for the purpose

thickening and dewatering characteristics of

the mass of sludge produced and its filtering
properties. Sludges produced when lime is
added to wastewater have greater solids con-
tent after settling and dewater at greater mass
rates than conventional sludges. However,
mass of sludge per volume of wastewater is
greatly increased. Considerable information is
available on such sludges. Sludges produced
when Al(«+ or Fe(4*» is added to waste-
water dewater more poorly than conventional
sludges and sludge solids content is tess.
Sludge mass is greater than in conventional
treatment but not as great as would be
produced by lime addition. Information is
clearly not yet adequate for accurately predict-
ing dewatering properties of such sludges.

The principal objective of this project was to
identify and evaluate monitoring instrumenta-
tion which represents the current state-of-the-
art in measurement of total mercury emissions
from stationary sources. During the laboratory
test program the uniformity of response of each
instrument acquired for the program to ex-
pected forms of mercury emissions from sta-
tionary sources including paniculate and or-
gano-mercury compounds as well as elemental
mercury vapor was established. Field tests were
conducted at the following sources: (1) secon-
dary processing of mercury; (2) chloralkali
production; and (3) nonferrous (zinc) smelting.
From the evaluation of these data the investiga-
tors conclude that available mercury measuring
instrumentation can be adapted for the mea-
surement of total mercury emissions from cer-
tain sources, in particular, chlor-alkali plants.
The transporting and conditioning of the sam-
ple poses considerable difficulties requiring ad-
ditional research. Manual control was accom-
plished during the field and laboratory portions
of the program. Manual control in the field was
sufficient for these studies; however, continu-
ous monitoring could not be accomplished by
this means.

December 1976
Water quality of the near shore waters of Lake
Erie in the Cleveland area and of the Cuyahoga,
Rocky and Chagrin Rivers was investigated
from September 1971 through December 1972
to establish a baseline by which to plan and
measure the restorative value of water pollution
abatement programs. Seven major investiga-
tions by the City of Cleveland and a consortium
of three universities dealt with fish populations,
phytoplankton. zooplankton, benthic organ-
isms, benthic sediment chemistry, water
chemistry, cation reactions with the suspended
river sediments, and hydrodynamic modeling of
river and thermal discharge flow into Lake Erie.
Correlation of point sources and of land use
with water quality was shown. Changes in game
fish populations since the 1950's from predomi-
nantly high to predominantly low food value
species were clearly demonstrated. An exten-
sive bibliography is included. A framework for
management of water quality through system
approaches is presented.

The study analyzes the relative effectiveness
and efficiency of pest information and crop in-
surance programs in encouraging farmers to
use potentially harmful pesticides more
sparingly by eliminating wasteful applications.
Possibly excessive applications of pesticides
can be attributed to poor timing of applications
and to the risk-averse behavior of farmers.
Focusing on insecticide use in cotton produc-
tion as a major policy problem, the study em-
ploys a decision-theoretic framework to simu-
late the farmer's pesticide use decisions under
alternative program options and subsidy levels.
To the extent possible, empirical data are
analyzed to complement the findings of the
simulation analysis.

The conventional processing of sweet potatoes
produces a very strong caustic waste that is
high in organic matter. Present technology
does not emphasize recirculation or other con-
trol of water use. Improved technology is availa-
ble such as high pressure low-volume water
sprays and a dry caustic peeling process that
reduce water use and convert the liquid caustic
waste to a semi-solid waste that can be
disposed of in sanitary landfills or sold as cattle
feed. Developing technology offers the poten-
tial of lye recovery, an improved steam peel or
an infrared dry caustic peel that increases yield.
In-plant control of waste through process
modification and/or treatment is economical
and may even provide a net return on invest-
ment. Biological treatment is effective.

Described are observations from preliminary
studies and pilot plant operations that were in-
itiated to upgrade the waste effluent of an in-
tegrated textile dye mill. The biological pilot
plant was designed to use activated carbon on
the basis that the presence of carbon enhances
bio-degradation. To meet the proposed water
standards, tertiary treatment of the effluent was
also necessary. Two methods of attaining better
water effluent were investigated. A conven-
tional method, the addition of an alum system,
with alum recovery was added to the biological
treatment system. Although the effluent quality
improved, trace color remained in the superna-
tant. An adsorbent resin system was tested and
found effective in upgrading the waste effluent
to recreational standards. The results of
preliminary studies and the pilot plant indicate
that carbon catalysis enhances biological
degradation, and satisfactory tertiary treatment
can be achieved with an alum and resin system.

The purpose of this contract was to develop in-
strumentation for the collection and analysis of
atmospheric acetylene at the part per billion
level. The reason for measuring acetylene is
that it comes primarily from vehicular exhausts
and thus can be used as a tracer of pollution
from urban to rural areas. The approach used
was an automated concentration technique
whereby one liter of air was collected in a 1-1/2
x 1/8 inch tube filled with molecular sieve. The
trapped contents were then automatically
flushed into a gas chromatograph for separa-
tion and assay of acetylene. This collection and
analysis system was designed to automatically
perform three acetylene analysis per hour at
acetylene concentrations ranging from .03 to
250 PPB. A portable collection device, in addi-
tion to the automated collection and analysis
instrumentation, was also developed for the
collection of acetylene in locations far removed
from the analyzer. The collection devices used
in the portable sampler were identical to the
collection device on the gas chromatograph.

A major waste stream in many breweries is the
liquor resulting from spent grains dewatering
prior to drying. This liquor may account for a
third or more of the B.O.D.5 and suspended
solids generated by a typical brewery. Initial
studies of the spent grain liquor problem in-
dicated that recovery rather than treatment was
the best approach. A number of evaporators
were evaluated to determine which design was
most satisfactory for concentrating the liquor. A
submerged combustion evaporator was
selected on the basis of engineering analyses
and pilot scale tests. A full scale unit was in-
stalled at the Houston Brewery of Anheuser-
Busch, Inc., in 1970. This evaporator was
modified several times to overcome failures of
the burner downcomers brought about by high
temperatures.

Municipal incinerators, and similar stationary
sources, though contributing only a few per-
cent of the total national air pollution load, are
important sources of pollution near population
centers. The particulate matter they emit has a
significant adverse effect on health, on materi-
als of construction and on visibility: they are
responsible for many complaints. Therefore,
the Federal Government, through the Environ-
mental Protection Agency, has promulgated
standards that specify the permissible levels of
particulate matter emitted from newly con-
structed incinerators operating at or above a
charging rate of 50 tons per day. There is a need
to define more thoroughly the chemical nature
of particulate emissions from incinerators and
to gain a better understanding of how the sam-
ple collection equipment used by the EPA in-
fluences the physical and chemical properties
of the particulate. The report describes the
development of a data base and the technology
which will permit representative measurements
of source particulate emissions to be obtained
from waste incineration sources, and from the
particulate pollution control devices associated
with such sources.

week were suitable for field testing, (2) the
weekly load should be applied in fractional in-
crements at daily to three times per week
frequencies, and (3) instantaneous spray rates
should be less than 0.10 inch per hour. The field
studies covered in this report were initiated at a

Increasing pressures toward efficient decision-

the need for improved pollutant routing
models. Such mathematical models help un-
derstand cause and effect relationships
between sources of pollutants and their ensu-
ing concentrations at various locations in a
basin. Considered in the study were both flow
and water quality processes occurring on the
ground surface, in the unsaturated soil zone
and in the saturated or ground water zone. The
objective was to improve already available for-
mulations for the above processes and sub-
sequently to develop a methodology for inter-
facing the individual models. Emphasis was
placed on the modeling of agricultural pollu-
tion. For this reason, nitrogen and
phosphorous were the main substances con-
sidered. The selection of the Lake Apopka
Basin in Central Florida as the study area was
made in accordance with these project goals.

Water quality data.
The concentration of the three chlorinated
hydrocarbons, DDT, ODD, and DDE. were mea-
sured in sediments at 57 stations in Monterey
Bay on the Central California coast during 1970
and 1971. Mean concentration in parts per bil-
lion was DDT 3.1, ODD 2.3, and DDE 5.4. Max-
imum concentrations were DDT 19.3, ODD 8.7,
DDE. 20.5 parts per billion. The distribution of
the three compounds within South Monterey
Bay was charted. During 1973 nineteen of the
original stations, representing locations that
were low, intermediate, and high concentra-
tions in the original survey, were resampled.
The mean concentration approximately three
years later were DDT 15.5, ODD 2.3, and DDE 5.4
parts per billion with maximum levels of DDT
83.1. ODD 11.4, and DDE 17.5 parts per billion. A
chart of the concentrations in South Monterey
Bay revealed essentially the same distribution
of chlorinated hydrocarbons.

An intensive search of the literature provides
the basis for the following conclusions con-
cerning platinum and palladium. An average of
3.7 million troy ounces of platinum and palladi-
um were produced in the world in the four-year
1969-1972 period. The United States consumed
about a third of this. The proved world reserves
amount to some 394 million troy ounces, with
considerable promise of increasing these
reserves through new explorations, half of the
proved reserves are in the Republic of South
Africa and 45% in the Soviet Union. No data
exist by which an estimate can be made of
transfer of platinum and palladium to the en-
vironment. Investigations show that only the
salts of platinum present human health
hazards. Industrial exposure to these is limited
to the mining and refining of platinum ores and
the preparation of catalysts for chemical and
petroleum refining industries.

A collaborative study was performed on Method
7 proposed by the EPA for determining the
nitrogen oxide emissions from stationary
sources. Method 7 specifies the collection of a
grab sample in an evacuated flash containing a
dilute sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide absorb-
ing solution, and the colorimetric measurement
of the nitrogen oxides, except nitrous oxide,
using the phenoldisulfonic acid procedure.
Collaborative tests were conducted at both a
coal-fired steam generating power plant and an
oil-fired pilot plant by four collaborative teams.
Because of chemically significant distortions
inherent in the gas cylinder accuracy test, the
accuracy of Method 7 could not be adequately
demonstrated. The estimated minimum de-
tectable limit of Method 7 is 5.14 x 10 to the -7th
power Ib./s.c.f. Most of the apparent laboratory
bias variation actually is not a true laboratory
effect but rather a day effect primarily caused
by dubious daily spectrophotometer re-calibra-
tion procedures.

During the course of the development of an
analytical method for the determination of
volatile organic solvents in water, it was ob-
served that chloroform and other
trihalogenated methanes consistently occur in
drinking waters. Water supplies originating
from both surface and ground water sources
contain these compounds. Investigations re-
ported here show that these compounds result
from the water treatment practice of chlorina-
tion. They further show that drinking waters
having surface water as their source contained
higher concentrations of these compounds
than those having ground water as their source.
The maximum concentrations found were:
Chloroform - 150 micrograms/1,
bromodichloromethane - 20 micrograms/1, and
dibromochloromethane - 2 micrograms/1. Ap-
plication of the method to a sewage treatment
plant influent and effluent showed the presence
of several other chlorinated aliphatic and aro-
matic compounds.

A plant was designed, built and operated to
remove Hg from waste water and sludge
produced by a mercurycell chlor-alkali plant.
Mercury content of the waste water ranged
from 300 - 18,000 ppb mercury while mercury
content of the brine sludge ranged from 150 to
1500 ppm Hg. Other sludges processed include
sludges from the waterway near our plant out-
fall with a Hg content of 10 - 25 ppm Hg. From a
variety of removal techniques tried in the lab,
the methods selected were sulfide precipitation
for the water treatment and high temperature
roasting for the sludge treatment. The sulfide
precipitation consists of collecting the various
water streams, adjusting the pH from 5-8 with
spent sulf uric acid, settling the large solid parti-
cles in a surge tank, adding sodium sulfide to a
1-3 ppm excess, adding diatomaceous earth at
the rate of 0.07 gpl in an R.P. Adams pressure
filter. The effluent Hg levels range from 10-125
ppb with an average of 50 ppb Hg for an 87-99%
removal, averaging 96.8%. The sludge system
contains a collection system, 3.7 m diameter
thickener, 1.8 m diameter rotary vacuum filter,
1.37 m i.d. multiple hearth furnace, and 3 stain-
less steel condensers 21 sq m each. Processing
rate for the sludge is 140-320 kg/hr. dry basis.
Capital costs were $364,500 and operating
costs were $32 per m ton of dry sludge treated.

An experimental hot-gas blancher was
operated in two food processing plants using
green beans, corn-on-cob. beets, spinach, and
green peas. A side stream of commercially
prepared vegetables was hot-gas blanched and
returned to the production line. Electrical, gas.
and steam flow meters were used with the hot-
gas blancher to obtain data for operational cost
estimates. Wastewater samples were collected
from the commercial blancher and the hot-gas
blancher for each commodity studied: these
were measured for volume and analyzed for
BOD, COD, SS and pH. Comparisons were
made of reductions in wastewater volume,
BOD, COD and SS when steam or hot-water
blanching were replaced by hot-gas blanching.
For beans, spinach and peas these reductions
were 91 to 99%. Operational costs were higher
for hot-gas blanching than for steam or hot-
water blanching for all vegetables studied ex-
cept for green beans which were slightly lower.

The report presents a conceptual model of the
movement and disposition of pesticides in the
environment. A multi-media model is built up
from simple modules representing basic
processes and components of air, soil, and
water. More specific models are exposited for
the atmospheric/terrestrial, freshwater aquatic,
and estuaring/marine environments. Ultimately
systems analysis and mathematical simulation
techniques can be employed to evaluate the
fate of a specific chemical in a particular en-
vironment. The conceptual model is thus a first
step in organizing facts, assumptions, and
hypotheses into a graphic and logical arm
capable of exploitation in further experimenta-
tion of pesticide disposition and effects. A
multi-media approach to disposition studies is
made explicit even in the absence of a single
all-media global model.

In view of the 7-fold growth in the amount of
plastic waste over the past 20 years the impact
of plastic refuse disposal upon the environment
has been evaluated on the basis of the major
current methods of disposal, municipal in-
cineration, landfill and litter. While weight per-
centage of the plastic component may tend to
be used to evaluate its contribution to the en-
vironmental impact via incineration, the volume
.percentage of plastics is more important with
respect to its contribution to landfill, both sani-
tary and open dump with and without burning.
A useful life analysis of plastic products is
described which quantifies the amounts of

each industry in terms of a functional process
statement, process operating conditions, ener-

Laboratory scale studies were conducted on

resulted from pyrolysis of solid waste was stu-
died at different conditions using steam, air,
and oxygen as the gasification agent. The ef-
fects of contaminants that are introduced to the
molten salt during processing of municipal
refuse on gasification rates and corrosion were
determined. Methods for ash removal from the
molten salt system was determined. Informa-
tion obtained in the laboratory studies was used
to prepare conceptual process and equipment
flow diagrams for evaluation of process
economics. The processing of municipal refuse
in molten sodium carbonate was found to be
technically feasible but economically impracti-
cal, pending development of a simplified ash
removal process. Use of molten salts is recom-
mended for processing of hazardous materials
because complete destruction of wastes is ob-
tained in the molten salt.

however, few experimental data are available
on the incorporation of tritium from tritiated
water into fresh water fishes. Of particular in-
terest are fish that begin and end their lives in a
tritiated environment. In the present study trout
and channel catfish eggs were hatched and the
fish maintained in tritiated water for four
months. In addition, two species of minnows
native to the southwest United States were
maintained in tritiated water and offspring from
these fish were reared in tritaited water for five
months. Some of these native fish were main-
tained for two months in large outdoor pools in
which part of their food was grown naturally.
The tritium concentrations in aquaria water
were held constant during the experimental
period. The results show that for these species
of fish living in tritiated water the concentration
factor for organic bound tritium is generally
less than unity. The concentration factor is
defined as the specific activity of tritium in dried
body tissue divided by that in the water in which
the fish were reared. Literature concerning
behavior of tritium in aquatic food chains after
release in nuclear industry effluents is
reviewed.

The report is concerned with modification of
the amperometric titration method for chlorine
residuals in cooling tower blowdowns or other
water systems with a high degree of metal ton
content along with other dissolved and
suspended solids. The addition of sodium
pyrophosphate as a blanket complexing agent
appears to remove successfully the heavy
metals interferences contributed by Fe and Cu
in the blowdown matrix. Procedure recommen-
dations are made to increase the efficiency of
both sampling and the actual titration
procedure in order to allow a residual deter-
mination in the minimum amount of time.
Equipment recommendations along with a
design of a biamperometric endpoint system
which allows greater titration speed along with
portability are described.

Sewer line scouring, urban runoff, and com-
bined sewage .associated with storm events
represent a substantial organic pollution load.
Since storms usually exhibit high flow rates
over a short period of time, the treatment facili-
ties become overloaded and deliver an organic
pollution load to receiving water bodies. Many
times a significant amount of the combined
sewage bypasses the treatment plant and is
discharged untreated. A method for assessing
the organic content of storm related waste-
waters would permit programming discharges.
and monitoring and controlling treatment
processes. A variety of laboratory techniques
have been employed to measure this organic
loading, but only an on-line technique such as
continuous TOC will provide the necessary in-
formation on a real or quick-time basis. An
evaluation of the instrumentation necessary for
a reliable TOC in the stormwater environment
leads to the selection of a measurement system
based on total combustion of sewage and de-
tection of CO2 by infrared methods. Tests are
presently under way to establish sample
processing, modifications of the engineering
model, and accumulation of the continuous
monitoring data on total organic carbon con-
tent of storm and combined sewage.

The effects of air and water pollution controls
on solid waste generation were evaluated. The
solid wastes from pollution control were
identified for individual industrial sectors by
their original air or water pollutant constituents,
and the treatment process applied. The wastes
were categorized by type and by location (rural
or urban). Total solid wastes from pollution
control activities were estimated for 1971 and
projected for 1975.1980, and 1985. Particulars
and sulfur oxides were identified as the major
air pollutants capable of generating solid
wastes when treated; suspended solids and
biological oxygen demand were identified as
the principle sources for the impact of water
pollution control on solid wastes. Important
sectors generating solid wastes included power
plants, paper and pulp, chemicals, cement and
clay, steel furnaces, nonferrous smelting and
refining, sewerage systems, and uranium min-
ing. An 83 page executive summary is available

limitations guidelines are set forth for the
degree of effluent reduction attainable through
the application of the 'Best Practicable Control

technology is represented by preliminary
screening, primary treatment (wool scouring
only), coagulation (carpet mills only), and
secondary biological treatment. In addition,
multi-media filtration or its equivalence for the

Impacts of the use of electric cars in the Los An-
geles region in 1980-2000 were projected for
four-passenger subcompact electric cars using
lead-acid and advanced batteries, with urban
driving ranges of about 55 to 140 miles, respec-
tively. Data from Los Angeles travel surveys
shows that such cars could replace 17-74 per-
cent of future Los Angeles autos with little
sacrifice of urban driving. Adequate raw materi-
als and night-time recharging power should be
available for such use in the Los Angeles Re-
gion. The electric subcompacts would appear
to be 20-60% more expensive overall than con-
ventional subcompacts until battery develop-
ment significantly reduces battery depreciation
costs. This volume makes an overall review.

The conventional processing of sweet potatoes
produces a very strong caustic waste that is
high in organic matter. Present technology
does not emphasize recirculation or other con-
trol of water use. Improved technology is availa-
ble such as high pressure low-volume water
sprays and a dry caustic peeling process that
reduce water use and convert the liquid caustic
waste to a semi-solid waste that can be
disposed of in sanitary landfills or sold as cattle
feed. Developing technology offers the poten-
tial of lye recovery, an improved steam peel or
an infrared dry caustic peel that increases yield.
In-plant control of waste through process
modification and/or treatment is economical
and may even provide a net return on invest-
ment. Biological treatment is effective. This re-
port was prepared to make available the data
collected under the first phase of the Environ-
mental Protection Agency's Grant Number
12060 FRW. The majority of the analytical data
characterizing sweet potato processing wastes
presented in this report were obtained from an

potato processing plant during the 1971

The surge facility tested in this EPA Demonstra-

and some degree of treatment to all storm flows
and rate control of all wet and dry weather
wastewater flows. The Rohnert facility was
designed to test a method whereby solids could
be prevented from accumulating on the bottom
of an inexpensive earthen, lined basin without
the use of conventional mechanical sludge col-
lection equipment. The principal features of the
surge facility were a 2,841 cubic meter (0.75
million gallon) Sedimentation-Equalization
Basin, variable underflow pumps, a surface
aerator and Pool Sweeps. The Pool Sweeps
were used to continuously 'sweep' the bottom
and sides of the earthen, lined basin to move
and temporarily resuspend the settled sewage
solids and, thereby, maintain the flow of solids
in the absence of mechanical collection
mechanism, steep bottom slopes, or a
completely mixed basin. Under the storm flow
conditions, the surge facility removed approxi-
mately 45% of the influent Suspended Solids
and 90% of influent Settleable Solids prior to
overflow to a storage pond.

The report reviews control technology applica-

including asbestos mines, mills, and manufac-
turing waste piles. It combined a literature
review with visits to asbestos mining and manu-
facturing operations, and considered cli-
matology, location, and topography. The study,
which included preliminary field sampling,
produced a comprehensive bibliography on
emissions control. The health effects of
asbestos exposure were reviewed from two
aspects: the significance of fiber size, and the
effect of non-occupational exposure. Fiber size
considered to be most harmful is still not
established and. while non-occupational expo-
sure probably does not lead to asbestosis,
evidence relates it to increased incidence of
cancer. Data analyses indicated that asbestos
can be detected at considerable distances from
a given source. It was concluded that, because
of their proximity to populations, asbestos
manufacturing waste piles are a threat to public
health more serious than asbestos mining.

plied through a specially designed distribution
system which operated at low pressure and
prevented the formation of aerosols. This spe-
cially designed applicator operated at a pres-
sure of 1.0 kg/sq cm (15psi) and was used to
apply wastewater to three experimental plots at
7.4, 8.6. and 9.6 cm/week rates of loading.
Wastewater and plot runoff samples were col-
lected periodically to compare treatment effi-
ciencies for the three loading rates and to
determine seasonal influences on treatment ef-
ficiency. Fifteen parameters including
suspended solids, biochemical oxygen de-
mand, nitrogen, and phosphorus were used to
evaluate treatment efficiencies. The results of
this 18-month field study showed overland flow
to be an effective process for achieving ad-
vanced waste treatment of raw comminuted
wastewater via a simple system with no sludge
production.

operations, are creating significant water pollu-
tion problems which threaten to interfere with
the continued growth of the tourist industry, a
leading factor influencing growth in Hawaii.
This study seeks to determine the magnitude,
characteristics, and effects on the receiving
water of waste discharges from sugar mill
operations, to compare the magnitude and
characteristics of runoff from the sugar cane
fields with runoff from non-developed areas
and to identify remedial measure that would
adequately control any observed pollution.

Wastewater surveys were performed at several
Gulf shrimp canneries over a period of three
canning seasons. Water used for each process
within the plant was metered and the waste-
water was tested for biological, chemical and
physical characteristics. Pilot screening tests
were made over two canning seasons. Tangen-
tial, rotary and vibrating screens were evalu-
ated. A 272 cu m/day (50 gpm) dissolved air
flotation pilot plant with chemical addition and
pH control was tested at the study plant over
two canning seasons. A pilot basket centrifuge
was evaluated for sludge dewatering. The study
demonstrated that: (1) The waste poundage
discharged per pound of raw shrimp processed
is similar in most Gulf shrimp canning plants;
(2) screening removal of heads and shells can
be performed efficiently and with few opera-
tional problems; and (3) air flotation showed
promise as a wastewater treatment method.
When performing properly, treatment efficien-
cies were good, however, the operation was
sensitive and treatment efficiencies that can be
expected on a plant scale remain to be demon-
strated.

and disposal and ancillary SWM services is
hampered by the diversity of existing systems,
and remaining problems in the conceptual
clarification of the services provided. The anal-
ysis of cost functions in the Collection and
Transportation subsystem suggests that these
cost functions are subject to variable returns to
scale. For .smaller communities, there are
economies of scale with respect to the amount
of waste handled. For larger communities,
scale effects vanish. The study concludes with a
brief suggestion for a feasible method for im-

A classification system for industrial processing
wastes was developed based on waste stream
characteristics, materials components, and
chemical composition. An associated inventory
form was devised for systematic reporting of a
variety of waste, descriptors including physical
form, composition, methods of handling, treat-
ment and disposal, and potential for reuse. The
system was developed by literature review, con-
sultations, and site visits. It is intended for ap-
plication to industrial waste surveys and to the
preparation of statistical summaries of parame-
ters pertinent to solid waste management. The
system is adaptable to computer storage and
retrieval of information related to reuse poten-
tial and .disposability of industrial wastes. It is
designed to cover all industries of the SIC
codes, and has been tested on a broad
representation of processing waste streams in a
large number of industries.

recorded on data sheets. Cassette tape
recorder was turned on at five-minute intervals.
Weather data were collected during each hour
of monitoring. Data were compared to data ob-
tained using more sophisticated equipment.
Results of comparisons proved that methodolo-
gy used was sufficient for purpose of communi-
ty noise surveys to assist local planners. Noise
measurements were made at seventeen sites.
Consideration was given on site selection to
noise sensitivity of land use proximity to known
or potential noise sources and discreteness of
land use areas. Conclusion was that Waco,

In order to meet and maintain ambient air quali-

1970, specifically, 'nondegradation' of air quali-
ty presently better than the national standards,
it was felt that a study was needed of alternative
means for the control of high emission source-

in this study: air pollution impact statements:
zoning control in two forms, permitted-use zon-
ing and emission-density-limited zoning: and
the prediction of air pollution impacts of com-
prehensive regional land use plans. This report
also considers the source-clustering problem
in the Chicago area, specifically in relation to
the effectiveness of the three investigated con-

In order to evaluate or rank land use plans in
terms of air quality, it is necessary for planners
to be able to project emission density (mass of
pollutant per unit of land for any specified time
period) using only planning variables, because
detailed source characteristics are not available
at the time alternative plans are being
developed and evaluated. The objective of this
study is to analyze the utility of various land use
parameters in describing the air quality impacts
of land use plans. Such parameters include

vestigated. The adsorption capabilities between
electrochemically regenerated carbon and vir-
gin carbon were compared by their respective
ability to remove soluble COO organics from
sand-filtered secondary effluents during simul-
taneous dynamic exhaustion. Electrochemical
regeneration was able to restore the working
capacity to a level of 42 to 61% of the cor-
responding virgin capacity over the range of ex-
perimental conditions investigated. The 61%
regeneration electrochemically obtained is cal-
culated as being 77% of the average obtained
by the use of thermal regeneration. The elec-
trolysis cell requirement corresponding to the
61% regeneration was measured as 15.3
watthours per gram of COD adsorption capacity
regenerated on a spent carbon bed. The calcu-
lated cost for electrical power at one cent per
kilowatt hour to regenerate and rinse the car-
bon spent in treating 1,000 gallons of Lake

is equivalent to 3.2 cents per pound of carbon

provide a basis for making explicit judgments
regarding economics and environmental trade-
offs. A compilation of effluent data was
developed for those energy sources considered
commercially viable in the 1975 to 1990 time
period. A methodology was developed for or-
ganizing the compiled effluent data, for
evaluating the combined effects of extraction,
transportation, processing, and use of fuels to
produce energy, and for ranking the
fuel/energy systems environmentally. The data
bank and computer program for the ranking
procedure are extant. The computerized
methodology enables an energy system evalua-

This study of automation tested four different
types of solid waste collection equipment. Em-
ployed were trucks with telescoping arms to
pick up single family or multi-family plastic
containers. The trucks could also be equipped
with a yoke lift for dumping wheeled con-
tainers. Close and convenient transfer opera-
tions were made possible by use of a truck-to-
trailer transfer method. Mechanization showed
significant cost reductions, increased collec-
tion efficiency, improved city appearance, and
better, safer working conditions for the collec-
tors.

Optimum system designs were determined for
two turbine engines operating on RC-1 and one
reciprocating engine operating on RC-2 fluid. A
Rankine cycle engine optimization computer
program was used. RC-1 fluid was a mixture
containing 60 Mo1%, pentafluorobenzene and
40 Mo1% hexafluororbenzene. RC-2 fluid was a
mixture containing 65 Mol% water and 35 Mol%
2-methylpyridine. The principal results of the
analysis are predictions of engine size, weight
and efficiency (vehicle miles per gallon). Com-
putations leading to these optimum designs
took into account five different steady-state
load points to represent typical driving condi-
tions. Each optimization was carried out under
a number of fixed constraints selected to en-
sure a practical system.

water Influenced this hydrographic regime. The
distribution of metals in bottom sediments and
organisms indicate these potentially toxic
materials persist in bottom materials and are

capabilities and by developing approximations
to the full system of equations which may be

economy of computing time justifies some
compromise in accuracy. Sample calculations
of several flow problems of current practical in-

the planetary boundary layer induced by the un-

The volatilization of pesticides following soil
application can be predicted from considera-
tions of the physical and chemical principles
controlling concentrations at the soil surface.
When these concentrations are maintained at a
relatively high level, volatilization losses will be
determined by the pesticide vapor pressure as
modified by adsorptive interactions with the
soil. For pesticides which have been mixed with
the soil or when volatilization has been
proceeding for a time so that concentrations at
the soil surface are low. volatilization rates will
be determined by the rate at which pesticides
move through the soil to the soil surface. Under
conditions when mass flow in liquid water is
negligible, volatilization rates are predictable
using solutions to the diffusion equations.
When mass flow is operative the prediction of
rates of volatilization are more complex. A com-
puter model has been developed combining
both diffusion and mass flow for predicting the
volatilization of soil-incorporated pesticides.

each sampling period. Additional chemical data
were collected when opportunity existed. The
experimental results suggest that maximum
summer temperatures above 32C cause detri-
mental changes in the environment which are
reversible in the winter while temperatures
above 33C cause damage which does not
recover during the cooler months.

tives were to quantitate transformations of mer-

the fate of elemental mercury in microbial
growth systems, and to measure the concentra-
tion of total and methylmercury in food chain
organisms. In anaerobic water-sediment
systems spiked with calcium acetate and mer-
curic chloride, elemental mercury was
produced in larger quantities than methylmer-
cury. In water-sediment systems, added ele-
mental mercury was oxidized and deposited in
the sediments where small amounts of methyl-
mercury were formed. Six pure cultures of bac-
teria oxidized elemental mercury, but none
formed methylmercury. In a stream receiving
mercuric ion, mosquito fish contained more
methylmercury than did tadpoles, snails, and
aquatic insects. Algae did not contain methyl-
mercury, even though their total mercury levels
were high.

discussion of traffic monitoring locations, and
it evaluates the results in terms of the impact of
the shopping center on traffic loads at a nearby

the mechanisms of external mass transfer rate
control a Langmuir type isotherm. The transient
solution is presented for the dynamic adsorbate
concentrations and temperature at various
positions of the bed. Results of the studies on
the effects of various parameters are also
presented. The third section of this report,
describes a single fixed bed pollutant adsorber
operated cyclically by synchronizing the
change in the direction of the gaseous.f low with
the change in temperature. Two operational
schemes are presented for such a system. Ef-
fects of several parameters on the adsorber
performance are discussed.

The report defines an economic disincentive as
a monetary charge levied by government on
conduct which is not illegal but which does im-
pose social costs, for the principal purpose of
discouraging the conduct. Disincentives are
distinguished from other legal mechanisms
which may have incidental economic disincen-
tive effects, e.g., fines, user charges, and
license fees. The constitutionality of federal or
state imposition of disincentives is examined
and the authority of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the States to utilize dis-
incentives under selected federal environmen-
tal statutes is analyzed. The legality of some
disincentives adopted by states is discussed.
The charges imposed by several European
countries are described and distinguished from
disincentives. The history of some previous
proposals for federal disincentives is reviewed
and suggestions for additional disincentives
which might be feasible are offered.

organizations set up to coordinate civil aviation
policy are described, including those dealing
with the aircraft noise problem. Commissions

organizations from after World War II to the
present is traced, both those coordinating
research and those coordinating operational
policy. Typical problems that have been en-
countered by various organizations are
discussed. Some conclusions of the study are:
(1) In the early 1960's there was no institution
actively coordinating federal aircraft noise
abatement activities; (2) much of the impetus
for better coordination has come from Con-
gress; (3) successful coordination requires
high-level agency and Administration support;
(4) the host agency may have difficulty securing
cooperation of other agencies.

The Lower St. Louis River Basin from Brook-

The resultant data were combined with histori-

model—the St. Louis River Basin Model. The
model was used to evaluate the effect on water
quality of implementing effluent limits using
best practicable technology and best available
technology for industrial discharges, and
secondary treatment for municipal waste
sources, as required by the 1972 Amendments
to the Federal Water Pollution Act. The study in-
dicates that implementation of the above ef-
fluent limits, as well as utilization of a central-
ized treatment plant of advanced design, will
result in a significant improvement in water
quality in the Lower St. Louis River. However,
with current benthic oxygen demand rates, DO
in the reservoirs is projected to border on non-
compliance at summer low flow, even with es-
sentially zero discharge of pollutants from in-
dustrial and municipal sources in the Cloquet
area.

This report is a study of the practical problems
and prospects of using marketable permits to
discharge effluents (MEP) as a water pollution
control tool. Under such a system, rights to
discharge pollutants are contingent upon pos-
session of permits; the permits may be acquired
or traded through an auction or market. This
study details the requirements of MEP systems,
discusses their theoretical advantages, and ex-
amines them through the use of industrial or-
ganization theory, comparisons with analogous
markets, and a simulation model. The simula-
tion model employs Mohawk River data to
determine the effect of different system
parameters on the operation of a MEP system.
The legal and administrative aspects of the
marketable permit system are also dealt with.
The conclusion is that marketable permits are a
promising control tool for many river basins.

The study evaluates existing cost-sharing pro-

described in the Federal Water Pollution Con-
trol Act Amendments of 1972, describes alter-
native cost-sharing programs that provide im-
provement in terms of national efficiency and
equity criteria as defined herein, and suggests
related areas for further research. Emphasis is
on how Federal cost sharing biases communi-
ties in favor of certain kinds of techniques. The
approach is to describe the current cost-shar-
ing programs for both plant and nonplant
techniques; to examine cost-sharing, legal, and
other institutional biases against certain
techniques; to analyze efficiency and equity ef-
fects of alternative cost-sharing programs; and
to describe the incentive effects of cost sharing
on nonfederal interests with respect to their
choices among abatement techniques.
Findings of the study are that more efficient
abatement will result if the same percentage
cost share applies to all plant and nonplant
techniques of abatement.

on a full scale scrubber used for controlling
paniculate emissions from a ferroalloy electric
arc furnace. Total flue gas paniculate mass
concentrations were determined at the inlet
and outlet of the scrubber by conventional
(Method 5) techniques. Inlet and outlet particu-
late concentrations as functions of size were
determined on a mass basis using cascade im-
pactors for sizes of about 0.3-5 micrometers.
and on a number basis for sizes smaller than
about 1 micrometer using optical and diffu-

quality management issues. The primary selec-
tion criteria for including the sources
referenced was that the citation pertains to
water pollution control benefits and costs.
However, numerous listings include more
general environmental issues within which
water quality problems are embedded. Also,
much of the economic cost-benefit analysis

in the soil. Multiple regression analysis revealed
that amorphous iron, aluminum and silicon
hydrous oxides serve as soil stabilizers in sub-
soils, whereas, organic matter is the major sta-
bilizer in surface soils. Evidence is presented to
show that soil credibility from semi-compacted
fill and scalped subsoil surface conditions were
essentially identical. It is reported that the
scalped condition is the best standard soil sur-

benefit measures. A method for using reported
utility data to estimate the cost of delivered

The report gives results of a study to identify
capital costs associated with converting indus-
trial and utility boilers from conventional high-
sulfur fossil fuels to low-sulfur products from
selected coal conversion processes. The
boilers of concern include all industrial and
utility size equipment in the 10 to the 7th power
to 10 to the 10th power Btu/hr capacity range.
The substitute fuels include solvent refined coal
(SRC) in the solid and hot liquid (melted)
phases as well as lower-Btu gas. The cost as-
sessment methods used in the study showed
that conversion to liquid SRC is the most ex-
pensive alternative. Converting coal-fired
boilers to solid SRC is the least expensive alter-
native for these types of boilers. Between the
costs of convert..g to SRC in either phase lie
those costs for converting to the gaseous fuels.
A significant result of the study is that the costs
of all conversion strategies increase exponen-
tially with boiler capacity: cost appears to be a
weak function of boiler design.

the effluent. A small, removable, fixed-position
grating monochromator acts as a unique opti-
cal filter that passes narrow spectral intervals
that are centered at wavelengths where the gas
to be detected will absorb. The useful ranges of
concentration times path length, in atm cm,
over which each gas can be measured are:
0.005 to 0.4 to NO; 0.0013 to 0.15 for CO; 0.001

The report describes the design and operation
of a system to eliminate atmospheric emissions
during the pushing of coke from the 45-oven A-
battery at Ford Motor Co.'s Rouge Plant in
Dearborn, Michigan. The 10-year-old A-battery
consists of 45 13-ft high ovens, each producing
12 tons of blast furnace coke at a gross coking
time of 18 hours with a 'push' scheduled each
15 minutes. The Coke Guide Fume Hood, where
the entire coke guide is enclosed with a hood
that extends out over the quench car, was used
to eliminate the pushing emissions. Prior to the
push, the hood is connected to a stationary
fume main that is under a partial vacuum; the
hot coke emissions generated during the push
are conveyed to a high-energy wet-type gas
scrubber where the gas stream is cleaned be-
fore being emitted to the atmosphere.
Clearances between the hood and quench car
are held to a minimum to provide sufficient in-
draft velocities to overcome normal lateral wind
effects.

The report gives results of an evaluation of SO2
emission control strategies for major coal burn-

using low-sulfur Eastern and Western coals,
mechanical coal cleaning, and flue gas desul-
furization (FGD). Major utility boilers were sur-
veyed, probable coal sources were determined,
and alternate transportation routes were
defined. Coal cleaning plant and FGD design
studies were performed. Cost data were
generated and a linear computer program
model was developed to determine minimum
cost strategies for meeting emission levels cor-
responding to no-control and control to 5.0,3.1
and 1.2 Ib S02/MM Btu. For the cases studied,
FGD was most cost effective only for the most
restrictive emission level (1.2 Ib/MM Btu) and
when the supply of low-sulfur coal was limited.
Importing low-sulfur Eastern and Western coals
or combinations of mechanical coal cleaning
and low-sulfur coal import gave the lowest cost
for all other cases.

An extensive survey of the state-of-the-art in

process concept is detailed and related to
pyrolysis. Material with a heating value close to
that of wood was used to make an oxygen,
nitrogen, and sulfur free oil having a heating
value in the vicinity of 10,000 cal/gm. Cellulose
liquefaction process is a continuous hydro
cracking process, based on technology which
is readily available from the petroleum industry,
although not previously applied to solid waste
(containing sewage sludge, polystyrene and
powered newspaper). The process envisioned
uses a carrier oil in which the solid waste feed is
slurried. The advantage of using an oil carrier is
that a liquid reaction medium is present which
does not present a critical temperature problem
and the attenuant requirement of high operat-
ing pressures. Water plays an intrinsic part in
the reaction for the in-site production of
hydrogen. Equilibrium calculations indicate
that hydrogen is the preferable reactant gas.
The effects of catalyst, temperature, pressure
and reaction time were correlated and catalyst
optimized by simple batch and continuous ex-
perimentation.

At the Richmond, Va., Wastewater Treatment
Plant, a major structure, i.e., a Supplemental
Pumping Station, and several ancillary struc-
tures were provided to achieve the project ob-
jective of no bypassing while a new grit
chamber was being connected ahead of the ex-
isting Main Pumping Station, which station
received and pumped all of the raw sewage.
The Supplemental Pumping Station was con-
structed by sinking a two-compartment, sheet
steel cofferdam around an existing 72-inch
concrete sewer and rearranging the influent
sewer flow pattern so that the sewage was
redirected to the site of the Supplemental
Pumping Station. The redirection of sewage
flow was achieved by the reconstruction of a
junction chamber and by the insertion of a spe-
cially designed removable bulkhead, all without
bypassing sewage. The time required for the
design, construction and operation of the Sup-
plemental Pumping Station was about 36
months and the cost of this project was approx-
imately $900,000.

reduced to acceptable levels by a unique probe
excitation and detection system which keeps
the fluid at ground potential. Conductivity
rather than resistivity is measured to eliminate
nonlinear concentration-voltage relationships,
and special circuits are included to make
calibration curves independent of the cable
length between probe and instrument. The
system has been designed with outputs suitable
for analog and/or digital processing and with
emphasis on ease of operation and reliability.
The electronic system utilizes operational-am-
plifier technology jointly with discrete com-
ponents to optimize signal processing and to
take advantage of recent advances in the elec-
tronic industry.

Identifiers: Recreational vessels.
During the program an evaporative waste treat-
ment system for onshore treatment of sewage
from watercraft retention systems was
developed and demonstrated. Wastes and
chemical additives associated with recreational
watercraft holding tanks were characterized by
analyses of sewage samples obtained from
marina and watercraft retention tanks utilizing
both freshwater and seawater flushed sanitary
systems and by a survey of typical chemical ad-
ditives employed as bacteriostatic and odor
reducing agents. An evaporative waste treat-
ment system was evaluated by testing a
propane-fired evaporator for 224 hours with in-
house sewer wastes and wastes collected from
marina holding tanks. The evaporative system
treated 4,590 liters (1,212 gal.) of sewage and
concentrated the total solids of the sludge from
the initial 0.5% to 12.4% before servicing and
removal of the concentrated sludge was
required. Although the incineration of the
sludge was feasible, the available incinerator
was too small to handle all the sludge which
could be produced by the continuously operat-
ing evaporator. Continuous operation of the
evaporator requires approximately 1.0 x
1,000.000 kilocalories per 1000 liters of waste-
water evaporated (15 x 1,000.000 Btu/1000
gal.); the actual costs depend on the fuel used
and its price.

This report consists of a collection of studies
on selected aspects of the problem of regional
solid waste management planning. The
research efforts fall into three main subject
areas: The economics of solid waste generation
recycling, and disposal: the economic and so-
cial effects of landfills; and the issues involved
in local intergovernmental cooperation for re-
gional solid waste management. The individual
studies are the following: 'A Framework for
Evaluating the Economic Effects of Regional
Solid Waste Systems', 'Production Functions
for Solid Waste Disposal', 'Solid Waste Genera-
tion Coefficients: Manufacturing Sectors',
'Solid Waste Generation Coefficients: Non-
Manufacturing Sectors', 'Perceptions of Land-
fill Operations Held by Nearby Residents', and
'Efforts at Intermunicipal Cooperation for Solid
Waste Disposal: Why They Fail'. The report also
includes a summary of the studies.

manure to anhydrous ammonia. Due to the fact
that ammonia is currently produced on a large
scale using natural gas and air, only the
processing associated with a reactor system to
convert the manure into a suitable synthesis
gas was considered in this study. The synthesis
gas can be further processed to anhydrous am-
monia using existing technology.

The goal of this study was to evaluate and im-
prove the characteristics of nickel-zinc secon-
dary batteries for use in hybrid electric vehicles.
The hybrid electric vehicle has a propulsion
system consisting of a heat engine and a bat-
tery. The heat engine supplies steady state
power, while the battery provides the transient
power demands. The primary purpose, for
hybrid propulsion, is to reduce exhaust emis-
sions from street vehicles. The nickel-zinc
secondary battery's possesses a unique com-
bination of properties which makes it a strong
candidate for use in hybrid electric vehicle
propulsion systems. These properties include
high energy density (25 Wh/lb), a flat discharge,
and the ability to charge and discharge at high
rates (greater than 100 Wh/lb) and low tem-
peratures. Another feature of interest for vehi-
cle propolsion use is the fact that electrode
materials are plentiful and of reasonable cost.
However, several possible problem areas do
exist regarding the use of nickel-zinc cells, as
presently designed, for this application; these
are short cycle life and fairly high maintenance.

Modal cities are representative cities based on
a specific set of criteria. Using principal com-
ponents analysis, 224 U.S. SMSA's were ex-
amined in terms of 48 selected variables. This
analysis yielded 14 dimensions, of which 7 ex-
plained 67% of the variance. The 224 cities were
then grouped using a method that minimizes
the differences among cities within a group and
maximizes the differences across groups. This
procedure allowed for a confident selection of 9
modalities of the U.S. metropolitan system.
Each city fell into a modality and was ranked
relative to its distance from the mean. The two
cities closest to the mean were taken as
representative of that group. One unforeseen
result of this research was distinct regional
character for the different groupings.

The report describes basic statistical concepts
for engineers engaged in test design. Although
written in handbook form for use within the En-
vironmental Protection Agency, it is not in-
tended to replace existing statistics textbooks.
Its objectives are: to enable design engineers to
converse with consulting statisticians, to in-
troduce basic ideas for further individual study,
and to enable the reader to make some im-
mediate applications to his own work.

study consisted of approximately four months
of field evaluation as part of a pre-operational
survey at a nuclear power plant. The evaluation
consisted of comparing the average
microroentgens/hr readings obtained at each
of eight sites for the period of the study. The
precision of reproducibility for both systems
was determined to be approximately 3%. The
difference in the average microroentgens/hr
readings for the two systems ranged from 16%
to 30% at the various sites.

A low-cost, commercially available electronic

ionization chamber. The integrator provides a
readout of the total exposure accumulated dur-
ing the integration period. This precludes the
necessity of manually integrating the area
under a lengthy strip chart curve. Use of the in-
tegrator with the RSS-111 is quite simple and
requires no major modification of the ionization
chamber. Field and laboratory tests of the in-
tegrator have shown it to produce consistent
results over both short and long integration
times, and at both high and low exposure rates.

The report describes and evaluates the sodium
arsenite manual procedure for measurement of
NO2 in ambient air. The evaluation included
ruggedness testing, as described by Youden.
The method involves sampling for 24 hours with
a restricted-orifice bubbler immersed in a
NaAsO2-NaOH collecting solution. The range of
the method is approximately 20 to 750 micro-
grams/cum . The method was insensitive to
normal variations in orifice bubbler diameter,
temperature of the absorbing solution during
sampling, and concentration of arsenite. How-
ever, the ruggedness test identified NO and
CO2 as positive and negative interferents,
respectively; sample flow rate may also be a
variable affecting the method response.

The report summarizes results of investigations
to assess the technical and economic feasibility
of using catalytic processes in power plant
nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission abatement. The
investigations involved a literature survey and
the development of a data bank on pertinent ar-
ticles and patents, experimental screening tests
on selected promising catalysts, and prelimina-
ry design and cost analysis of candidate
processes adapted to new and/or existing
power plants. The stepwise selection and pri-
oritization of catalysts indicated that at least
two types of catalytic NOx control processes
should be adaptable to power generating
plants: selective reduction of NOx with am-
monia on non-noble metal catalysts; and simul-
taneous nonselective reduction of NOx and sul-
fur oxides and coal-derived reductants on non-
noble metal catalysts.

In this study, 17 organic pesticides and five in-
dustrial chemicals were examined in a terrestri-
al-aquatic model ecosystem in an effort to
determine their persistence and accumulation
by the organisms of this system. Several classes
of pesticides are represented as one or more in-
secticides, herbicides, miticides or plasticizers
were investigated in this system. The use of this
system for examining uptake and persistence of
widely used agricultural chemicals provides the
necessary data for comparison of field data to
provide a framework which can be used to as-
sess the potential environmental impact of new
pesticides before they are given a recommen-
dation for generalized use. The data obtained
from this work suggest that this model
ecosystem is useful for the determination of the
uptake and persistence of pesticides by the or-
ganisms. In general, it was found that most
chemicals, with the exception of the persistent
soil insecticide, dieldrin, underwent extensive
degradation under the experimental conditions
of the system.

The potential of a process to convert cattle
feedlot manure to anhydrous ammonia is stu-
died. Due to the fact that ammonia is currently
produced on a large scale using natural gas
and air, only the processing associated with a
reactor system to convert the manure into a
suitable synthesis gas was considered. The
synthesis gas can be further processed to an-
hydrous ammonia using existing technology.

Identifiers: Dry caustic peeling process.
The study evaluates the peel removal ability and
rinse water characteristics for the first commer-
cially sized equipment using the principle of
rapidly rotating rubber discs to gently wipe sof-
tened peel off Clingstone peaches. The conven-
tional process utilizes large volumes of fresh
water to remove the softened peel and flush it
into the liquid effluent from the plant from
where it cannot be easily separated. The dry
caustic unit demonstrates that gentle abrasion
can remove the softened peel, yield a peach
suitable for commercial canning and allow for
separation and collection of a major portion of
this solid residue; thereby preventing its entry
into the liquid waste stream. In addition to an
approximately 60% reduction in the BOD load-
ing in the liquid waste stream, an approximately
90% reduction in the fresh water requirement
for this phase of the preparation of Cling
peaches is demonstrated. These reductions in
volume of liquid effluent and in the total pounds
of organic matter which must be treated are
beneficial to both private and public waste-
water treatment facilities.

Nine companies selected as representing a
cross section of prominent producers of chemi-
cals identified through four-digit Standard In-
dustrial Classification (SIC) codes were sur-
veyed with respect to methods used to assess
toxicological and environmental properties of
new and existing chemicals. Four progressive
levels of investigational effort depending upon
extent, frequency, and nature of chemical use
are identified: single or infrequent exposure;
occasional low-level exposure; frequent low-
level, occasional high-level exposures; and
frequent high-level, general consumer, una-
voidable exposures. Factors influencing the
decisions regarding the level(s) of investigation
needed or the initiation of the next higher level
series of studies are explored. No mathematical
formula has emerged to specify the level of test-
ing required. A chemical-by-chemical assess-
ment by competent pharmacologists, lexicolo-
gists, and chemists is still needed. Lack of a
mechanism to trigger expanded levels of test-
ing is a serious problem.

The objectives of the program were to evaluate
the light transmission approach to monitoring
participate pollution and to determine the relia-
bility and degree of correlation of the transmis-
someter and other paniculate measurement
methods in a variety of industrial environments.
The six industrial environments were as fol-
lows: (1) A petroleum refinery catalytic cracking
unit catalyst regenerator, (2) Sewage treatment
plant incinerator for sludge burning. (3) Asphal-
tic concrete plant (hot mix), (4/5) Secondary
brass and lead smelter, (6) Oil fired power plant.
The scope of work required that a commercially
available transmissometer be tested at each site
for 30 days and its performance evaluated as a
continuous monitor of the in-stack opacity,
plume opacity and in-stack mass concentra-
tion. Data were also obtained on the spectral
transmission characteristics and size distribu-
tion of the paniculate emissions of the plants.

The primary objective of this project was to
demonstrate the feasibility and economic prac-
ticability of chemical removal of phosphorus
from municipal wastewater in the 44 mgd
(166,500 cu m) activated sludge plant at Grand
Rapids, Ml. The full-scale system for chemical
phosphorus removal was implemented to meet
water quality criteria established by the state of
Michigan. Ferric chloride and polymer floccu-
lant were introduced into the raw wastewater
flow by automated systems. During the period
of best performance when split dosage of
chemicals was employed, residual phosphorus
concentrations of less than 1 mg/l could be ob-
tained. Total phosphorus concentrations in the
final effluent were related to final clarifier over-
flow rates. The nature of the chemically
precipitated sludge evolved by the process was
also evaluated relative to further chemical con-
ditioning, vacuum filtration and incineration.

guidelines and recommendations for the
design and operation of solid papermill waste
landfills. The experimental landfill consisted of
two sludge layers, with sand drainage blankets,
an earth dike for lateral confinement and a
natural soil cover. The landfill was instru-
mented for settlement, water pressure, vertical
and lateral earth pressure, temperature, sludge
unit weights, specific gravity, and water con-

landfill at weekly intervals and laboratory analy-
sis according to standard methods for the ex-
amination of water and waste water provided

the most likely pollutants. The report identifies
polyurethanes, acrylics, and alkyds as the most
likely candidates for in-depth study, estimating
emissions factors and discussing emission
controls and their costs. It gives similar infor-

sociated with large volume resin manufacture
and function primarily to recover product or

This study is applying network theory to the
problem of routing a solid waste collection
vehicle through a street network. It is centered
on the development of an algorithm to find the
minimum tour of a vehicle which has to
complete a round trip through a network con-
sisting of both one-way and two-way streets. It
is the total length of the tour which is sought
rather than the detailed and chronologic
schedule of the vehicle. This tour is found by
minimizing the total length of street segments
which have to be retraced. The problem can be
described mathematically as a linear program
whose optimal solution is guaranteed to be in-
teger.

This paper presents the theory and procedure
of an algorithm which routes a known number
of solid waste collection vehicles on a city
street network. The network is assumed to be
planar and connected and consists of only un-
directed edges (two-way streets). Each edge
has a cost and load associated with it. The pur-
pose of the procedure is to route the vehicles
from a depot to a collection area (district),
through the district and back to the depot. The
algorithm determines districts and tours simul-
taneously. For each tour it lists a sequence of
nodes and specifies whether the edge leading
to each node is traveled or serviced. Computa-
tional experience shows that the algorithm is
feasible for a network with as many as 90
nodes.

The grinder developed during this study
reduces most of the components of household
refuse into a slurry formed with the nonfecal
component of household water and transports
it through the house sewer lateral to the sewer.
The system requires a modification in
household plumbing and a storage tank to
separate and store the nonfecal component of
waste water. The grinder design as conceived
would be capable of grinding most of the com-
ponents of household refuse. The grinder
design will accept heavy aluminum and steel
cans without damage to the machine, but will
not grind them. It will clean the cans of
putrescible matter and more than likely
crumple them to a smaller volume. Simplicity of
design, jam free operation, and low cost were
achieved within power limitations. Economic
analysis of grinder and plumbing modifications
are discussed.

An investigation was made to determine the
feasibility of hydraulic transport of ground
refuse in sanitary sewers of conventional
design. For hydraulic transport, the material of
household refuse is ground in an automatic
household grinder, mixed with nonfecal
household sewage water, and introduced into
the main sewer through the standard service
connection. The slurry flows through tne
sewers under gravity. It was concluded that
hydraulic transport of ground refuse in gravity
sewers at concentrations of 1.0% is feasible. At
very low velocities small pressure drops may
occur at various appurtenances but are not sig-
nificant relative to the overall head. At flow
velocities of 2.5 feet per second and above
these losses are negligible.

contact, on the control of asbestos emissions
from enclosed sources. It assesses the state-of-
the-art in asbestos emission control in terms of
the devices or methods used and their efficien-

study to actually measure the effectiveness of
baghouse control devices in controlling emis-
sions from five asbestos plants. Baghouses are
the predominant control device used in the
asbestos industry. Cotton bags are used most
frequently. Automatic shaking is used in most
baghouses. Published data on the removal effi-
ciencies of the control devices was either non-
existent, or quoted in general terms. Five
baghouses were tested fro removal efficiency in
terms of mass and fiber number. Using com-
puter modeling, it was found that, even con-
sidering one source, asbestos concentrations
of 500 f/cu meter can be anticipated 5 km from
the source. The exposure level at which
asbestos in ambient air becomes a health
hazard is not known.

parative fish population statistics obtained from
the upper Monongahela River shows zero fish
in 1967 and 8,071 fish in 1973 at the same loca-
tion. The same type of data obtained in the

crease in the fishery resource. The data indicate
significant improvement of water quality in the
upper portions of the Monongahela River and
less improvement in the lower portions of the

reported. In all three years rainfall during the
critical period, where there was minimum
ground cover, was below long time averages.
Optimum fertilization treatments that produced
a vigorous canopy, or a good residue cover
reduced both erosion and nutrient losses. In
none of the three years did the optimum use of
fertilizer or pesticides produce large losses of
chemicals. The results point to systems of soil
management that will produce optimum yields
of grain crops with a minimum contamination
of receiving water by chemicals.

Significance of flotage derived from submerged

California Bight is evaluated in terms of three
components: Particulates >or =0.5 mm in
size, participates < or =0.1 mm in size, and
surface film materials. The sampling methods
utilized to collect the flotage from the surface
are described in detail. The surface film and
micro-particulates were captured by fabric
screen samplers developed during the course
of the study. It was found that the large particu-
lates penetrated the ocean thermocline and
gathered on the surface in profusion. The
grease and wax portions of the participates
could be measured reliably with hexane extrac-
tion, with the mass of HEM of sewage origin
being in the order of a metric ton on the water
surface within the study area. Such particulates
contained considerable numbers of coliform
bacteria but little PCB compounds or pesti-
cides.

A computer model, called HIWAY, that can be
used for estimating the concentrations of non-
reactive pollutants from highway traffic is
described. This steady-state Gaussian model
can be applied to determine air pollution con-
centrations at receptor locations downwind of
at-grade and cut-section highways located in
relatively uncomplicated terrain. The air pollu-
tion concentration representative of hourly
averaging times at a downwind receptor loca-
tion is found by a numerical integration along
the length of each lane and a summing of the
contributions from each lane. With the excep-
tion of receptors directly on the highway or
within the cut, the model is applicable for any
wind direction, highway orientation, and recep-
tor location. The model was developed for
situations in which horizontal wind flow occurs.
The model cannot consider complex terrain or
large obstructions to the flow such as buildings
or large trees. An interactive version of the
computer model is available on Environmental
Protection Agency's Users' Network for Applied
Modeling of Air Pollution (UNAMAP).

Compounds of certain metals are known to be
capable of comptexing phosphate ions, thereby
removing them from solution. The application
of this principle to the control of phosphorus
levels in eutrophic lakes has been subjected to
laboratory investigation in the present study.
Salts of lanthanum, zirconium, and aluminum
were found to effectively remove phosphorus
from laboratory growth medium and natural
pond water, with resulting depression of algal
production. Toxicity to fishes and aquatic inver-
tebrates was minimal, but the tests demon-
strated that some components of metals salts
may have adverse effects. The stability and du-
ration of phosphorus inactivation is being stu-
died in laboratory-scale water-sediment
systems, under aerobic and anaerobic condi-
tions. These experiments are expected to elu-
cidate the effect of inactivant-phosphate
precipitates on sediment-water phosphorus in-
terchange. Preliminary results indicate that zir-
conium precipitates phosphorus from the water
and holds it at low levels.

The report gives results of an evaluation of the
influence of five fiber parameters (cross-sec-
tional shape, linear density, surface roughness,
crimp, and staple length) on the filtration per-
formance of model nonwoven fabrics made
from the fibers. Nonwoven fabrics made from
32 polyester fiber samples were used to filter
fly-ash particles from a stream of air. Filter per-
formance was assessed by measuring: pressure
drop across the filter, collection efficiency, and
particle size distribution. Efficiency was im-
proved by using trilobal (rather than round
cross-section) fibers with no detrimental effect
on drag; efficiency and drag were improved by
using crimped (rather than uncrimped) fibers;
and efficiency was improved by using 3 (rather
than 6) denier fibers, but at the cost of greater
drag. These efficiency improvements were
especially pronounced for fine particles
(approximately 2.5 microns). Rougher fibers
appeared more efficient in removing fine parti-
cles. Applying d.c. voltages to 100% non-con-
ducting polyester filters showed considerable
increases in efficiency.

The report discusses the problem of imple-
menting the national air quality standards in
certain metropolitan areas. This will require
reductions in automobile emissions greater
than those achievable by new car emissions
controls, inspection/maintenance, and retrofit.
Accordingly, transportation controls to reduce
automobile emissions by reducing automobile
use have been developed and are being imple-
mented in the affected areas. The approaches
to reducing automobile use most frequently
used are transit improvements, carpooling pro-
grams, and parking restrictions. Programs that
combine all three approaches could reduce au-
tomobile emissions by as much as 30 percent
through diversion of automobile drivers to
transit and carpools. However, because of the
cost disadvantages created by the underpricing
of automobile use, programs not incorporating
parking restrictions or other disincentives to
low-occupancy automobile travel are unlikely
to achieve emissions reductions greater than 5
to 10 percent.

The purpose of the work performed under this
contract has been to obtain reverse osmosis
operating data on primary and secondary ef-
fluents with varying degrees of pretreatment.
Field tests were conducted at the Pomona
Water Renovation Plant of the County Sanita-
tion Districts of Los Angeles. Two parallel
reverse osmosis systems were operated with
spiral wound membrane modules. It was con-
cluded that spiral wound reverse osmosis units
can be economically operated on primary and
activated-sludge effluents with only moderate
pretreatment and periodic chemical cleaning.
Activated-carbon pretreatment was shown to
be unnecessary for successful operation on
sand-filtered activated sludge or chemically
clarified and sand-filtered primary effluent. A
simplified economic analysis indicated that
reverse osmosis treatment costs are favorable
and that the process merits serious considera-
tion in a planned water supply and waste
management program.

The report gives results of a study to identify
significant sources of emissions of potentially
hazardous trace pollutants from mining and
processing of non-metallic minerals. Based on
a review of domestic ore processing data and
consideration of both the toxicity of potential
pollutants and the significance of fugitive dust
emissions, the following nine industries were
selected for further study: cement, clay
(including porcelain, refractory, and brick),
gypsum, lime, phosphate rock (including fertil-
izer), potash, boron, mica, and fluorspar. Pro-
vided for each of the nine industries are
process flow diagrams identifying major
processes and material flow, identification of
sources of emissions of various pollutants, and
process descriptions. The report recommends
that five processes be further evaluated
because of their potential for emissions of
hazardous pollutants or fugitive dust: kilns
(cement and lime industries), phosphate rock
mining and washing, clay mining, hydrator
(thermal phosphoric acid production), and
reactor (wet-process phosphoric acid produc-
tion).

season. The increasing concentration caused
no problem provided the pH was 10 or greater
and that the water temperature did not exceed

operations ceased. Anaerobic digestion was
aided by addition of nutrients and odors
reduced by surface aeration. Water eventually

The California Environmental Quality Act of
1970 reuires State and local agencies to
prepare an environmental impact report on
public and private projects that may have a sig-
nificant effect on the environment. The
development and current status of California's
environmental impact assessment program is
described. CEOA's greatest impact has been on
private projects permitted by cities and coun-
ties. In many localities, environmental impact
reports clearly influence decisions on such per-
mits. Still, some State and local agencies are
not fully complying with CEQA, and the act's
implementation is hampered by the lack of a
State agency with authority and resources to
enforce it. Based on California's experience,
some general recommendations are made for
other States considering adopting similar
requirements. Also, refer to the EPA Report en-
titled Environmental Impact Requirements in

Identification of the Susquehanna River as the
primary contributor of nutrients to the upper
Chesapeake Bay and recognition of the need to
develop a nutrient management program for
their mutual protection, prompted the An-
napolis Field Office, EPA, to conduct a one-year
comprehensive nutrient survey in the lower
Susquehanna River Basin between Northum-
berland, PA., and Conowingo, MD. Three
distinct hydrologic seasons were represented
during the study period which provided the
foundation for an in-depth evaluation of all
water quality data obtained during this survey.
Its principal objectives were: (1) Quantitative
identification of average nitrogen and
phosphorus loadings and determination of
seasonal variations in nutrient loadings from
every major sub-basin; (2) delineation of point
source and non-point source nutrient contribu-
tions to establish effectiveness of controllability
measure; (3) seasonal mass balance of nutrient
loadings in the main stem; and (4) determina-
tion of the fate of nutrients in impounded areas.

Three standardized techniques (capillary mem-
brane dialysis, alumina adsorption,
alum/polyelectrolyte coagulation) have been
compared under laboratory conditions to deter-
mine their relative effectiveness in removing a
broad spectrum of nutrients, cations, and
anions from freshly collected samples of stream
water and wastewater effluent (secondary and
tertiary). Of these alumina adsorption was
highly effective in removal of phosphorus, inor-
ganic carbon, as well as most cations with con-
comitant reduction of specific conductance
and hardness. High Kjeldahl and ammonia
nitrogen removal efficiencies of alumina were
only observed in samples of wastewater in
which pre-treatment concentrations were rela-
tively high. Dialysis occupied an intermediate
position in respect to cation removal, but
produced results equivalent to alumina adsorp-
tion in respect to inorganic carbon. Superiority
of dialysis in removal of sodium, potassium,
chloride, nitrate-nitrite, boron, and dissolved
solids is reported. Alum/polyelectrolyte (Betz
no. 1150) proved to be effective in removing
phosphorus from all waters tested, but was
highly ineffective in respect to all other parame-
ters tested.

Atmospheric gaseous pollutants are very nu-
merous in industrial regions. It is estimated that
25 or more pollutant molecules may be found in
the atmosphere in significant quantities. The
measurement of the concentration of each gas
from the complex spectrum obtained by a long-
path infrared spectrophotometer requires the
fitting of trial spectra composed from a library
of spectra. The fitting procedure adjusts the
concentrations of the trial spectra until a 'best
fit' in a least-squares sense is produced. This

matical, and calculational principles and
procedures for the use of a digital computer
program to determine concentrations of at-
mospheric gases in a path of a few kilometers.

impacts of water pollution control costs on
model plants were assessed using discounted
cash flow analysis and industry-wide impacts
were projected. Grain milling wastewaters are
generally amenable to biological treatment
systems. Consequently, many milling plants
can and have tied into municipal treatment
systems. All rice mills (Parboiled only), bulgur
processors and most com dry mills discharge
into municipal systems. Industry-wide impacts

Water distribution(Applied).
Irrigation return flows in the Grand Valley of
Western Colorado contribute to the serious
salinity problems in the Colorado River Basin
by carrying large salt loads resulting from con-
tact with local saline soils and aquifers. Since
the valley is one of the more significant salt
sources, it is therefore a logical area for evalua-
tion of the effectiveness of various salinity con-
trol measures. The study has emphasized two
on-farm control alternatives, namely, irrigation
scheduling and field drainage. The contents of
the report consider the latter measure. Three
farms were extensively studied during the 1972
and 1973 irrigation seasons to identify drainage
needs and the effect field relief drainage would
have on reducing salinity in the return flows.

This document provides a detailed explanation
of the technical and policy considerations
which form the basis for EPA's regulations for
preventing the significant deterioration of air
quality, which were published in the Federal
Register on December 5, 1974. The document
discusses the reasons for rejecting various al-
ternative plans for preventing significant deteri-
oration of air quality; the basis for the air quality
increments selected and the pollutants and
sources covered; and the impact of the regula-
tions on general growth and development as
well as on new energy sources. A number of the
references are included as appendices; .how-
ever, several of the studies and reports
referenced are too voluminous to include in this

Statistical analysis indicates that wastewater in-
frastructure projects have had a significant in-
fluence on the land use pattern in the Lake
Tahoe Basin. Land use densities have in-
creased immediately following the expansion of
plant capacities in areas serviced by three of
the four major wastewater treatment facilities.
The subdivision approval rate of raw land was
also found to be a function of anticipated treat-
ment capacity. Federal and state water quality
agencies played an active and central role in
wastewater management programs designed to
remove the threat of water pollution at Lake
Tahoe. Cooperation among all levels of govern-
ment led to expeditious resolution of the water
quality problem in spite of the numerous geo-
graphic, economic and political constraints in
the region. These increases in land use have
subsequently produced major environmental
problems in the Tahoe Basin. Thus, the singular
focus on water quality led to unforeseen en-
vironmental impacts resulting from the land use
changes made possible by the provision of ex-
tensive sewerage systems.

This document describes a methodology for
projecting and allocating pollutant-specific
emissions to areas that are smaller than coun-
ties. Three Orders of analysis requiring succes-
sively more detailed data and more extensive
levels of effort are treated. The techniques ad-
vanced rely upon the development of demo-
graphic and economic projections that are
used as surrogates to forecast source-specific
emissions resulting from residential fuel com-
bustion, transportation, commercial and in-
stitutional fuel combustion, industrial
processing and fuel combustion, and solid
waste incineration. Procedures for allocating
emissions to large subcounty areas (e.g., mu-
nicipalities, townships, census tracts and/or re-
gional planning activities, etc.) are treated first.
Total emissions from each source are then ap-
portioned to square cells in a master grid
system. Emissions allocated to these cells in a
master grid system are the final output of this
technique and can be used as input for the pur-
pose of modeling air quality. Appendices A and
B illustrate a test of these procedures applied to
Fulton County (Atlanta), Georgia. Portions of

under the sponsorship of the Environmental
Protection Agency, as part of the International
Field Year on the Great Lakes (IFYGL) program
in Lake Ontario. Data were processed to show
the distribution of Cladophora in the nearshore
zone and to estimate the standing crop. Addi-
tionally, thermal data in the study area were dis-
played. The results show an extensive growth
and development of Cladophora in the study
area. Approximately 66% of the nearshores
zone in the western portion of the lake and 79%
in the eastern portion, is covered by
Cladophora. Several major and minor thermal
features and thermal discharges were evident
at several locations along the U.S. shoreline.

The report presents a conceptual model of the
movement and disposition of pesticides in the
environment. A multi-media model is built up
from simple modules representing basic
processes and components of air. soil, and
water. More specific models are exposited for
the atmospheric/terrestrial, freshwater aquatic,
and estuaring/marine environments. Ultimately
systems analysis and mathematical simulation
techniques can be employed to evaluate the
fate of a specific chemical in a particular en-
vironment. The conceptual model is thus a first
step in organizing facts, assumptions, and
hypotheses into a graphic and logical arm
capable of exploitation in further experimenta-
tion of pesticide disposition and effects. While
rejecting formulation of a model with global
validity, the authors emphasize the commonali-
ties of the basic processes and components in
the various environments.

•Water quality data.
A 4 1/2-year study on the rate and factors af-
fecting the cultural eutrophication of
oligotrophic Lake Tahoe is reported. Primary
productivity has increased alarmingly with a
steady shift in the seasonal maximum from
early spring to late summer. Productivity in-
creased 25.6% from 1968 to 1971. Using the
1959-1960 data from earlier studies, the in-
crease to 1971 was 51%. Diatoms dominate the
phytoplankton population and the maximum
zone of phytoplankton photosynthesis may be
as deep as 50-75m. The extent of winter mixing
is important in the nutrient budget of the lake
and bacteria associated with stream-borne
nutrients facilitate nutrient regeneration. The
littoral zone, although extremely important
visually to the lake, contributes only 10% of the
total primary production. Great variability in fer-
tility of the lake has been demonstrated by
synoptic studies and aerial remote sensing.
Highest productivity is found in the lake near
tributaries which drain disturbed land.
Nutrients associated with road building, hous-
ing, and lumbering are major causes of
eutrophication in Tahoe.

This study concerns itself with the determina-
tion of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow
rate (EPA Method 2) as used with EPA Method 5
(Particulates). The determinations were calcu-
lated from data obtained in collaborative test-
ing of Method 5 at three sites: a Portland ce-
ment plant, a coal-fired power plant and a mu-
nicipal incinerator. These data were submitted
to statistical analysis to obtain estimates of the
precision that can be expected with the use of
Method 2. The standard deviations for both
velocity and flow rate are shown to be propor-
tional to the mean value. The between-labora-
tory standard deviations are estimated as 5.0%
of the mean and 5.6% of the mean for velocity
and volumetric flow rate, respectively. The volu-
metric flow rate is used to calculate the emis-
sion rate for compliance testing. The precision
of the emission rate is shown to be primarily a
function of the precision of the pollutant test
method used. The conclusion, then, is that the
volumetric flow rate is used deterimination is
sufficiently precise as it appears in Method 2.

This report describes the development and
financing of a county solid waste collection
system for rural areas. The objective of the
system was to substitute an environmentally
sound method of solid waste disposal for the
unsound practice of using small, random, burn-
ing dumps. The report shows that this can be
accomplished. It presents a detail description
of the storage and collection containers used,
the construction of the container sites, and an
economic analysis of the ad-
vantages/disadvantages of the use of small and
large containers. The report also presents a
comprehensive analysis of the development of
the County financial plan.

The report gives results of a detailed study of
fabric filter cleaning mechanisms. A highly in-
strumented, pilot plant system was built to
operate as a single- or multiple-bag unit for the
investigation of cleaning by mechanical shak-
ing, pulse jet air, and reverse flow air. Four
woven bag types (cotton and Dacron) and two
felt bag types (wool and Dacron) were evalu-
ated with resuspended fly ash and talc dusts.
Analysis of cleaning by both mechanical shak-
ing and pulse jet air indicated that the tensile
forces generated by bag acceleration were the
main cause of dust removal; aerodynamic re-
entrainment played only a minor role. Residual
fabric drag, fabric holding capacity, and dust
penetration characteristics were predictable,
based on such cleaning parameters as shaking
frequency, amplitude, pulse jet pressure, and
rate of pressure rise.

pressure differential between the free air
stream and the nozzle inlet. The fluidic control
amplifier which interfaces directly with the sen-

The question as to whether lagoons, as they

standards and what methods would work to up-
grade lagoon treatment in cases where they
presently do not meet the standards is of high
priority for many Regional Offices of EPA. The
symposium was held for EPA staff and State Of-
ficials to review the Office of Research and
Development's program for upgrading lagoons.
The intermittent sand filter, land application of
algae laden effluents and the submerged rock
filter offer good potential for cost effective up-
grading. The basic biology of the treatment
mechanism, disinfection technology, the con-
trolled discharge operation (and results), cost
effective analysis, and new fields of research
were covered by speakers. Intermittent sand fil-
tration, submerged rock filtration, and land ap-
plication of sewage effluents are effective alter-
natives to removing algae from sewage
lagoons.

A sampling probe was designed, fabricated,
and evaluated for quantitative transport of
aerosols through a conduit from a source to a
sensor. The probe consists of a porous metal
tube encased in a manifold through which
transpiration air was passed inward to provide a
moving clean air sheath that minimized particle
deposition on the walls. The quantitative mass
transport of aerosols and the preservation of
size distribution of the transported aerosol was
• studied. A statistical analysis of the data con-
clusively demonstrates the effectiveness of the
porous probe sampling concept. Tests at
selected conditions show that the porous probe
is effective in the preservation of size distribu-
tion. Optimization of the sample and transpira-
tion flow ration is necessary for a given size
range to obtain the most effective use of the
porous probe concept.

The papers in these proceedings, prepared by
investigators active in research on electrostatic
precipitators (ESPs), describe recent advances
in ESP technology, especially in the control of
fine particles (those less than 1-2 micrometers
in diameter) in industrial emissions. Data such
as fractional collection efficiency measure-
ments are presented that can be used to help
define the capability of ESPs for the control of
fine particles. Techniques for the sizing and
design of ESPs, including a theoretically based
mathematical model of ESP performance, and
the selection of power supplies to improve per-
formance and reliability are discussed.
Methods for combatting the problem of collec-
tion high-resistivity fly ash from the combustion
of low-sulfur coal that are described include the
operation of ESPs at both lower and higher
than usual flue-gas temperatures, and the con-
ditioning of fly ash by injection of sulfur triox-
ide, ammonia, orsulfamic acid into the flue gas.

contact evaporation of the feed liquor. Also in-
vestigated were major process variables that af-
fect kraft recovery boiler operation and the
emissions resulting therefrom in order to
establish boiler operating conditions that
minimize emissions. Investigated were boiler
loading, liquor sulfidity, and liquor distribution
within the furnace. Test data was analyzed
statistically by computer, using the multiple
regression analysts technique. Particulate
emissions were primarily affected by and
directly proportional to the amount of black
liquor solids burned in the recovery furnace
(boiler loading). Both SO2 and total reduced
sulfur (TRS) emissions were affected by liquor
sulfidity: emissions increased as sulfidity levels
increased. This new kraft recovery boiler incor-
porates the most recent technology for air pol-
lution control, enabling it to meet the Montana
state emission standards for both TRS and par-
ticulates.

The report presents a comprehensive tabula-
tion of the nation's air quality and monitoring
activities for 1973. These summaries are based
on data acquired through extensive monitoring
activities conducted by Federal, state, and local
air pollution control agencies, and compiled
according to the nation's 247 Air Quality Con-
trol Regions. Information is provided for the five
pollutants for which National Ambient Air
Quality Standards have been set (suspended
particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide, oxidants, and nitrogen dioxide).
Analyses of pollutant trends are presented, plus
a study of nonurban ozone concentrations and
a preliminary examination of instances reflect-
ing the energy crisis.

The study was undertaken to assess the water
quality, construction, maintenance, operation
and surveillance of water systems on U.S.
Forest Service lands. Nine national forest were
studied in California, Colorado, North Carolina,
and Georgia. Field work was conducted during
the summer of 1973. Some major findings of
this study of 119 water systems are: (1) Fifty-
four percent of the systems delivered water that
did not comply with one or more constituent
limits of the 1962 Public Health Service Stan-
dards. (2) Twenty percent of the systems sam-
pled were contaminated with coliform bacteria.
(3) Ninty-seven percent of the systems had an
inadequate bacteriological surveillance pro-
gram. (4) Ninety-two percent of the water
systems studied had no-chemical analysis on
record. Of those systems with a record of
chemical analysis, none included all the con-
stituants of the drinking water standards. The
report contains recommendations for necessa-
ry improvements.

Control and/or treatment of stormwater
discharges and combined sewage overflows
from urban areas are problems of increasing
importance in the field of water quality manage-
ment. Presented in this text are selected results
of a comprehensive investigation and assess-
ment of promising, completed and ongoing
projects, representative of the state-of-the-art
in abatement theory and technology; a look at
recent legislation; and the identification of pro-
gram needs and emphasis. Combined sewer
overflows are major sources of water pollution
problems, but even discharges of stormwater
alone can seriously affect water quality. Current
approaches involve control of overflows, treat-
ment and combinations of the two. Control may
involve maximizing treatment with existing
facilities, control of infiltration and extraneous
inflows, surface sanitation and management, as
well as flow regulation and storage. A number
of treatment methods have been evaluated in-
cluding high rate screening and microstraining,
ultra high rate filtration, dissolved air flotation,
physical/chemical treatment, and modified
biological processes.

intended to control carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbon emissions. However, the catalysts
convert some of the sulfur in gasoline into sul-

this study was to determine the impact on oil
refineries to produce unleaded, low-sulfur

The general procedure for assessing air quality
is predicated on the application of mathemati-
cal diffusion models for estimating existing and
future ambient air quality levels. The procedure
consists of four subtasks: Collection of data on
emissions, meteorology, and air quality; verifi-
cation of the model using measured air quality;
forecasting of future emissions; and estimation
of future air quality. The remainder of this docu-
ment describes the procedures used in as-
sessing air quality in urban areas: collection of
data on emissions, meteorology, and air quali-
ty; and use of mathematical models in estimat-
ing present and future air quality levels. Recom-
mendations based on the case studies are
given. Included are estimates of the types of
resources that are needed to carry out such stu-
dies.

and encourage the development of long-range
air quality management programs. To demon-
strate the application of these techniques to dif-
ferent situations, a series of actual assessment
studies was undertaken. Initially, case studies
were carried out by the pilot (U.S.) and the co-
pilots (Germany and Turkey) in three locations-
-Ankara, Turkey; Frankfurt, Germany: and St.

Air quality simulation modeli ng continues to at-

role in the development of rational approaches
for the maintenance of air quality standards.
One major aim of the NATO/CCMS air pollution
project is to keep the users of models informed
as to the current state of the art. Because of the
rapid advances in techniques and the diversity
of the applications of air quality modeling it has
seemed desirable to provide an opportunity for
an informal give-and-take exchange of the
latest information on modeling and closely re-
lated topics. With this objective in mind the par-
ticipation at the 3rd Meeting of the
NATO/CCMS Panel on Modeling, held on 2-3
October 1972 in Paris, France, was widened to
include representation well beyond the regular
membership countries. All participants were in-
vited to submit in advance extended abstracts
in English of the material that they would
present. The Minutes of the 3rd Meeting are
also included since they provide some addi-
tional information of interest and a summary of
the meeting.

This report summarizes the results of a
research program conducted to determine the
characteristics and potential capabilities of par-
ticle size analysis using laser interferometer
techniques. Theoretical and experimental
analyses are reported which indicate that a
range of particle sizes from submicron to mil-
limeters in diameter can be determined when
the cross-sectional shape of the particle is
known. It is shown that number density can be
determined from the interferometric measure-
ments in certain restricted applications. The
limitations and potentialities of this method of
determining particle size are discussed in
detail.

Sediment cores were obtained from 15 lake sta-
tions representing the three major basins and
the Inshore Zone of Lake Ontario. Cores were
sectioned for characterization of the surface
sediments according to inorganic P chemical
mobility. Physical mobility was characterized by
measurement of P release from intact cores in-
cubated under controlled laboratory condi-
tions. The proportions of potentially chemically
mobile inorganic P were usually high (30 to
60%) in the central basin sediments and low (2
to 8%) for the inshore zone sediments.
Although the amounts of inorganic P desorbed
after three successive equilibrations (in .1M
NaCI) of Lake Ontario sediments represented
only 3 to 17% of the potentially mobile inor-
ganic P, sufficient inorganic P was desorbed to
restore a large part of the original interstitial in-
organic P concentrations. Based on an inor-
ganic P flux of 0.2 mg/sqm/day, the estimated
annual contribution of inorganic P to Lake On-
tario water is equal to about 10% of the external
P loading.

Design features include independent controls
for regulating temperature, relative humidity,
and concentration of gaseous sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. To achieve ac-
celerated weathering, the system also includes
a variable dew/light cycle that incorporates
chill racks to produce dew and xenon lamps to
simulate sunlight. Before initiating exposure
studies, differences in lighting and pollutant
distribution among the chambers were
minimized to below 10 percent variations for 95
percent of the measurements.

scrubbing processes. Emphasis was on
developing continuous on-line methods for
slurry sampling and separation that do not
disturb the chemical steady state condition.
Sampling methods were developed for a 30-
second phase separation and instrumentation
was identified for 2-minute analysis of sulfur,
calcium, magnesium, and iron in the solid
phase, and acidity, suifite, sulfate, calcium,
magnesium, and carbonate in the liquid phase.
A mobile laboratory was designed and outfitted
for field characterization of wet scrubbing flue
gas desulfurization (FGD) process streams.
Evaluation measurement techniques used to
characterize five alternative FGD processes
resulted in recommended analysis methods for
the ammonia, double alkali, Mag-Ox, Stone and
Webster/Ionics, and Wellman-Lord processes.

streams were considered. Mean annual nutrient
concentrations were significantly higher in
streams draining agricultural lands than in
those draining forested watersheds and these
differences were greater for total phosphorus
(0.151 as compared to 0.014 mg/l) than for total
nitrogen (3.10 as compared to 0.77 mg/l).
Animal density had a significant effect on both
nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in

Identifiers: Chemically active fluid bed process.
The Chemically Active Fluid Bed process is a
means of avoiding sulphur oxide pollution
while using heavy fuel oil for production of
power. The process uses a fluidised bed of lime
particles to convert the oil into a hot. low
sulphur gas ready for combustion in an ad-
jacent boiler. Sulphur from the fuel is absorbed
by the lime which can be regenerated for reuse.
During lime regeneration the sulphur is
liberated as a concentrated stream of SO2
which may be converted to acid or elemental
sulphur. The report describes the second phase
of studies on the chemically active fluid-bed
(CAFB) process for desulfurizing gasification of
heavy fuel oil in a bed of hot lime. The first con-
tinuous pilot plant test with U.S. limestone BCR
1691 experienced local stone sintering and
severe production of sticky dust during startup.
Batch tests confirmed that BCR 1691 produced
more dust than the purer Denbighshire or U.S.
BCR 1359 stones. With BCR 1691. 10 times
more dust was produced during kerosene com-
bustion at 870C than during gasifica-
tion/regeneration. The continuous pilot plant
was modified to improve operability under
dusty conditions.

was obtained from an activated sludge process
treating concentrated citrus waste containing
no sanitary wastewater. The sludge was
thickened, dewatered and dried using full-scale
and pilot-scale equipment. The dried sludge
was then analyzed for protein, fiber, amino
acids, nutrients and moisture. Poultry feeds
containing varying concentrations of sludge
were prepared. Two experiments with broiler
chicks, each of three weeks duration, one 8-
week broiler study, and a six-month laying hen
study were conducted to determine the effect of
the inclusion of sludge in poultry diets on per-
formance. It is shown in the report that the in-

up to 7.5 % did not significantly affect poultry
performance or meat or egg quality. The value

extent and cause of weight losses first noticed
in field situations on Andersen impactor
fiberglass substrates. The investigation results
indicated that, if performed carefully
throughout, sample acquisition results in a
weight loss of no more than 0.20 mg per stage.
Such a loss is not of major consequence when
more than 2-3 mg is collected on a stage; how-
ever, it could represent a serious error at less
than 2-3 mg. Incomplete drying and careless
handling were found to be the major sources of
weight loss.

An important new membrane has been
developed for the reverse osmosis treatment of
both highly alkaline and acidic (non-oxidizing)
metal finishing rinse waters. This membrane
designated NS-1. and originally developed for
seawater desalination, consists of the follow-
ing: a microporous support film (polysullone)
coated with polyethylenimine which is cross-
linked with tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate. Simulated
alkaline copper and zinc cyanide plating rinses
at pH's of 11.8 and 12.9 were treated by NS-1
membranes during 500- and 340-hour tests
without deterioration of reverse osmosis pro-
perties. Water fluxes above 10 gallons per
square foot (of membrane) per day (gfd) were
observed with cyanide rejections between 95
and 99 percent. The NS-1 membrane also
treated simulated copper sulfate rinse waters
effectively at pH 0.5 during 550-hour tests
without deterioration of reverse osmosis pro-
perties (fluxes above 10 gfd with 99.8 percent
rejection of copper). Preliminary engineering
considerations indicated the feasibility of ap-
plying the NS-1 membrane to reverse osmosis

From April 1969 to October 1974 field and
laboratory analyses and observations were
made at approximately weekly intervals to eval-
uate the relationship between the quality of
water impounded at Indian Creek Reservoir
(ICR) and the reclaimed water exported by the
South Tahoe Public Utility District The
reclaimed water comprised from 70 to 80% of
the annual impoundment. On the average the
reclaimed water contained 0.1 to 0.2 mg/l of
phosphorus and 15-24 mg/l of ammonia, the
latter making it toxic to fish implanted in ICR.
However, as the reservoir matured, nitrif ication-
denitrification removed most of the nitrogen
from the system and by March 1970 the reser-
voir had become an excellent trout fishery. Ex-
cess N in comparison with P evidently
precluded blooms of blue green algae but low
phosphorus did not prevent the impoundment
from becoming typical of a highly productive
environment, with vascular plants invading to
considerable depths because of the high
degree of clarity of the reclaimed water. It is
concluded that the reservoir responds to more
complex factors than are measurable by analy-
sis of reclaimed water.

The effects of air and water pollution controls
on solid waste generation were evaluated. The
solid wastes from pollution control were
identified for individual industrial sectors by
their original air or water pollutant constituents,
and the treatment process applied. The wastes
were categorized by type and by location (rural
or urban). Total solid wastes from pollution
control activities were estimated for 1971 and
projected for 1985. Particulates and sulfur ox-
ides were identified as the major air pollutants
capable of generating solid wastes when
treated; suspended solids and biological ox-
ygen demand were identified as the principle
means of estimating the impact of water pollu-
tion control on solid wastes. Important sectors
generating solid wastes included power plants,
paper and pulp, chemicals, and cement and
clay, steel furnaces, nonferrous smelting and
refining, sewerage systems, and hazardous
wastes from uranium mining. Mine tailing
ponds were estimated to be a greater source
than all the above sources but were not seen to
be a landfill disposal problem.

disposal practices. These policies, as well as
sedimentation, lake levels, and economic fac-

most maintenance dredging will occur in U.S.

which will determine future U.S. maintenance
dredging is the availability of confined disposal
sites.

Numerous toxic and hazardous compounds are
being generated for commercial, industrial and
agricultural uses. Most of these materials are
eventually released into the environment. This
study documented the existence of biological.
chemical and physical transformation
processes of hazardous wastes in the environ-
ment. It was determined that the rates of trans-
formation of these hazardous materials, when
applied and/or discharged to the environment,
are slow. Case studies confirmed that per-
sistency of certain hazardous materials results
in the bioaccumulation of residues in living
systems. A lack of knowledge of the fate and
clinical manifestation of persistant residues in
living systems dictates the need for implemen-
tation of the described scheme of control

Statistical analyses are performed on data ob-

(Determination of Sulfuric Acid Mist and Sulfur
Dioxide Emissions From Stationary Sources)
and from ancillary tests performed in conjunc-
tion with the analysis of the field samples. A col-
laborative test was conducted using four
laboratory teams at a sulfuric acid plant. A total
of 14 sampling runs were made, and a total of
52 determinations. Using these data, estimates
are made of the precision that can be expected
from a single team, and between two indepen-
dent teams. There was a tendency in these data
for occasional high reported concentrations of
sulfuric acid mist. On these samples, there was
noticed a concurrent tendency for low reported
sulfur dioxide concentrations. Since it cannot
be determined that this phenomenon is unre-
lated to the method, these values are included
in the data set to obtain the precision estimates.
In addition, a second analysis done with the six
highest H2SO4/SO3 values removed, and the
improvement in the precision is noted. Statisti-
cal analysis of the results of using the analytical
part of the method on standard sulfate solu-
tions provides estimates of the variability as-
sociated with this phase alone. These results
are compared to the results from an earlier
study on EPA Method 6 (Sulfur Dioxide) which
uses the same barium-thorin titration
procedure. Combined estimates for this analyti-
cal procedure are presented.

Pollution is a direct reflection of the behavioral
patterns of the consuming public. In order to
achieve long lasting positive reductions of pol-
lutants, basic attitudinal changes must be ef-
fected toward what goods and services are de-
manded, in what quantities, as well as attitudes
toward usage and disposal of these items. It is
this area in which this report makes initial con-
tributions. Through the use of a mathematical
model, both direct and indirect industrial pollu-
tion generated by fluxuations of the entire
economy are tied to behavioral patterns of the
consuming public. The model studies con-
sumer behavior patterns from three viewpoints:
income of family, age of head of family, and re-
gional location of family within the United
States. The methodology relates 126 final con-
sumption industry groupings to 48 consumer
item (product) groupings of the National Con-
ference Board's taxonomy. Findings focus on
most polluting industries, and the pollution as-
sociated characteristics of sub-groups of the

The Federal Reference Method for photochemi-
cal oxidants specified in regulations on Na-
tional Primary and Secondary Ambient Air
Quality Standards is based on the chemilu-
minescence resulting from the reactions of
ozone with ethylene. The method is calibrated
by measuring synthetically prepared standard
atmospheres of ozone and developing a
method response vs. ozone concentration
curve. Although the 1% neutral buffered potas-
sium iodide procedure has been used for some-
time, it has been criticized for its inconsistent
and non-reproducible results. Therefore, a
workshop on the problem was held Aug. 26-27,
1974, at NBS facility, Gaithersburg, Md., to
bring together individuals with expertise in the
use of the potassium iodide method for a full
technical discussion of this ozone method of
calibration problem. This report presents
recommendations and a summary of the
discussions held at this workshop.

sives formulations for use in nearby mining ac-
tivities. The final category is specialty product
facilities, devoted to manufacture of select in-
gredients such as lead azide and other explo-
sives initiators, blasting caps, electric matches
and similar appurtenance items. Industrial
processes, water pollution and abatement
technology for these various plants and
products are also surveyed.

Identifiers: Tradeoffs.
The effects of alternative enforcement strate-
gies on the pollution control activities of the
firm are investigated. There are a number of
tradeoffs available to a firm including delay and
non-compliance which allow it to minimize ex-
pected pollution control costs. These are
identified within the context of a generalized
behavioral model for the firm and an empirical
study is undertaken to determine their im-
portance. In a simulation of current enforce-
ment of the federal new source particulate
matter discharge standard for coal-fired power
plants it is found that cost-minimizing power
plants will install relatively costly pollution con-
trol technology and frequently violate federal fly
ash standards. Two alternative enforcement
strategies for overcoming these shortcomings,
namely compliance tests in combination with
emission taxes and emission taxes alone, are
analyzed. In the case of the federal fly ash
discharge standard for coal-fired power plants
it is tentatively concluded that emission tax en-
forcement would probably result in an approxi-
mate minimization of the sum of firm and en-
forcement agency resource costs. The general
applicability of this result to other enforcement
problems is discussed.

Urban land runoff from a 1.67 square-mile
urban watershed in Durham, North Carolina,
was characterized with respect to annual pollu-
tant yield. Regression equations were
developed to relate pollutant strength to hydro-
graph characteristics. Urban land runoff was
found to be a significant source of pollution
when compared to the raw municipal waste
generated within the study area. On an annual
basis, the urban yield of COD was equal to 91%
of the raw sewage yield, the BOD yield was
equal to 67%, and the urban runoff suspended
solids yield was 20 times that contained in raw
municipal wastes for the same area.
Downstream water quality was judged to be
controlled by urban land runoff 20% of the time.
In urban drainage basins, investments in up-
grading secondary municipal waste treatment
plants without concomitant steps to moderate
the adverse effects of urban land runoff are
questionable in view of the apparent relative
impact of urban land runoff on receiving water
quality.

without recycle and batch fed anaerobic
processes. Because suspended solids removal
proved to be a key factor in successful biologi-
cal treatment, centrifugation, detartration,
coagulation and flocculation, and combina-
tions of these methods were included in the
studies. Centrifugation proved to be the best
method of removing solids prior to biological
treatment. Solids removal in combination with
an aerobic treatment process can be expected
to produce final filtrate chemical oxygen de-

BOD of about 75 mg/L. Anaerobic processes
studied did not operate well but produced ef-

Based on samples collected during the Interna-
tional Field Year for the Great Lakes, the
Phytoplankton assemblage of Lake Ontario is
dominated by taxa indicative of degraded water
quality, including many potentially nusiance
producing species. Many taxa characteristic of
the offshore waters of the upper Great Lakes
are either absent from the flora or very rare.
Compared to the upper lakes, the flora of Lake
Ontario undergoes extreme seasonal succes-
sion, with diatoms predominating during the
winter and early spring, green algae becoming
abundant during the summer, and blue-green
algae showing a distanct fall peak. Various spe-
cies of microflagellates are a relatively impor-
tant element of the flora during all seasons.
Succession during the spring bloom appears to
be controlled by the thermal bar, and data sug-
gest control by depletion of essential nutrients
following stratification. Striking differences
were apparent in samples collected on com-
parable dates in the spring of two successive
years.

Energy shortages, primarily of oil and natural
gas, have increased the importance of domestic
coal reserves. Although coal is the United
States most abundant source of fossil fuel ener-
gy, its increased use without adequate environ-
mental safeguards could aggravate the nation's
already serious environmental problems. This
report focuses on the compliance status of ex-
isting coal-fired steam electric power plants
and on alternative methods for compliance with
applicable emission regulations. Compliance
alternatives include the use of low-sulfur coal,
physical coal desulfurization, flue-gas desul-
furization, coal gasification, fluidized-bed
boilers, supplementary control systems, and
energy recovery from solid waste. A review is
presented showing the current status of exist-
ing coal-fired plants in terms of the sulfur con-
tent of coal purchased during the first half of
1974, the involvement of power companies in
litigation challenging the applicable regula-
tions, and the programs for achieving com-
pliance with sulfur regulations in State Imple-
mentation Plans.

The basic mathematical structure for describ-
ing the dynamics of phytoplankton in Lake On-
tario is presented in the report. Data on
chlorophyll and principle nutrients are
reviewed and summarized and the mathemati-
cal modeling strategy is detailed. The modeling
strategy begins with the construction of a
horizontally completely mixed lake with vertical
layers, LAKE 1. This spatially simplified model is
used to develop the interactions and kinetic
behavior of the various components of each
subsystem. A more detailed three-dimensional
model is then used to describe open lake and
near shore variations in phytoplankton
biomass. Ten biological and chemical variables
are used in both models and include four
trophic levels above the phytoplankton,
chlorophyll as a measure of phytoplankton
biomass two phosphorus components and
three nitrogen components. The model can
form a basis for preliminary estimates of the ef-
fects of nutrient reduction programs on Lake
Ontario.

Five wastes from United States, Canadian, and
foreign commercial vessels were studied at the
Duluth-Superior Harbor during late 1973: Bilge
water, non-oily ballast water, sewage, gar-
bage/refuse, and dunnage. Vessels generate
bilge water at about 6,650 liters/hour with an
average oil content of about 225 milli-
grams/liter. Waste oil which is apparently
discharged to bilges (about 600 grams/hour)
appears more consistent than either of these
two parameters. Bilge water is a substantial
pollution problem: On the average about 40
liters (10 gallons) of oil may be discharged dur-
ing each day a vessel spends in the harbor.
Although containing about twice the common
water quality contaminants as the harbor
waters, ballast water is not a significant en-
vironmental problem. Large quantities are,
however, discharged: About 9,000 metric
tons/visit by lake and bulk carriers. Sewage is
apparently generated onboard vessels con-
sistent with accepted design rates (100 gal-
lons/man/day).

Rising disposal costs and increased national
concern with ecology have resulted in several
Congressional proposals for subsidization of
recycling. The repot examines the justifications
for government action and develops a
framework for analysis of the paper industry
and the impact of specific subsidies on the
recycling decision. Pro forma balance sheet
and income statement data for new v'rgin and
secondary linerboard, corrugating medium,
and folding boxboard mills show differential
returns directly related to recycling rates, with
secondary fiber increasingly competitive mov-
ing from linerboard to medium to boxboard. A
summary of strategic, structural, and social in-
fluences highlights their importance relative to
the financial impact of any of the six subsidies
examined. A benefit/cost analysis indicates that
general use of any of the subsidies studied is
not economically justified because of high
costs per incremental ton recycled. However,
support of new capital investment in specific lo-
calities may be desirable, as is continued
research sponsorship to take advantage of the
steep slope of the recycling learning curve.

between land use forms and environmental
quality. It investigated the influence of the spa-
tial distribution of land rises on the pollutants
generated and the resulting environmental
quality. The investigation was assisted by the
preparation of a 'sorting table' in which the
'rows' are the various urban forms and land use
patterns and the 'columns' are the several
classes, types and elements of environmental
pollution. A comparative analysis of the materi-
als assembled for the table determined trends
across the urban forms and land use types,
focusing particularly on the identification of
those land use forms that naturally generate the
least pollution. Also, parallel investigation of
national trends in population distribution and
land use was performed, so that some expecta-
tions could be developed as to the likely im-
pacts on pollution of current patterns of re-
gional growth and change.

This research was directed toward an examina-
tion of methods by which coal mine water could
be treated for removal of manganese. In order
to remove manganese from mine water, strong
oxidizers must be employed to oxidize it to the
(-4) oxidation state in which it is relatively in-
soluble and will precipitate as MnO2. Both
ozone and hypochlorite ion were effective in
this oxidation and reduced manganese concen-
trations to less than 2 mg/l and in some cases
to less than 0.05 mg/l. Reaction orders based
on initial reaction rates are reported for the
manganese (II) at pH values of 2,4,6 and 7.9 in
the time intervals studied. Solubilities of both
manganese (II) hydroxide and manganese (IV)
oxide were measured. Cost data were
developed for both the ozone and sodium
hypochlorite treatment.

The report gives results of a study of fluoride
emissions from ponds receiving process water
from wet-process phosphoric acid plants.
Volatile fluorine compounds accumulate in
water used in the manufacture of phosphoric
acid by the wet-process method. This process
water is routed to ponds for cooling and even-
tual re-use. While in the ponds, some of the
fluorine compounds evaporate, becoming air
pollutants. Emission estimates were developed
from the pond-to-air mass transfer coefficient
and the vapor pressure of fluorine over pond
water. These estimates were tested by measure-
ments of ambient-air, fluorine-compound con-
centrations downwind of the ponds. Comparing
the measured ambient air concentrations with
concentrations predicted from the emission
estimates and a standard atmospheric pollutant
dispersion model demonstrated the validity of
the emission estimates.

The three-dimensional distribution and trans-
port of air pollutants has been studied. The ex-
port of ozone or its precursors from the Los An-
geles and Denver metropolitan areas was docu-
mented. Analysis of the July 25. 1973 smog
episode in the Los Angeles Air Basin indicated
that ozone was being exported from the
western, heavily urbanized, portion of the basin
at rates exceeding 100 metric tons per hour
during much of the afternoon. High ozone con-
centrations confined to the surface mixing layer
in the relatively remote mountain and desert
areas east and northeast of Los Angeles were
documented and traced back to their probable
source in the Los Angeles Air Basin. Standard
diffusion estimates based on one episode in-
dicated that, over flat terrain in the absence of
scavenging mechanisms, an ozone source the
size of the Los Angeles metropolitan area could
cause ozone concentrations to exceed the
Federal standard of 0.08 ppm at locations as far
away as 260 km. From the data studied, it was
concluded that urban sources can have a sub-
stantial effect on ozone concentrations in
downwind areas, and that this effect can carry
over more than one day.

and May 1973) in the Bight were identified.
'Bamboo worms' (families Maldanidae and
Owenidae) were the most abundant and
ubiquitous polychaetes and would therefore be
the best indicator species to monitor pollution
in the area. No temporal changes in the densi-
ties of polychaete populations were evident, but
summer and fall collections must be analyzed
to complete the seasonal distribution.

This report, which covers battery manufactur-

dies which examine land-destined wastes from
selected industries. The battery industry is di-
vided into two groups by the Bureau of Census:
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 3691
Storage Batteries (such as lead-acid automo-
bile batteries) and SIC 3692 Primary Batteries
(such as carbon-zinc flashlight batteries). The
battery industry was studied because heavy
metals such as mercury, cadmium, zinc, and
lead are used in some of its manufacturing
processes. These metals can be toxic in certain
concentrations and forms. The potentially
hazardous wastes destined for land disposal
from the battery industry consist of industrial
processing wastes, reject cells, and sludges
from water pollution control devices. The
amount of sludges destined for land disposal is
expected to experience a large short term in-
crease as water effluent guidlines are imple-
mented. The impact of water effluent guidelines
on land disposal of wastes is the largest single
factor in determining future trends for this in-
dustry.

was determined. The specific gravity of the
liquid phase was constant at 1.000 g/cc. For dif-
ferent samples the precentage solids by weight
varied from .8 to 2.2%. The specific gravity of

tains much or all available information on emis-
sion sources within this industry. The objective
in Volume II is to evaluate this information,
prepare an emission inventory for this industry,
and project emissions for the years 1975 and
1980. The methodology is described which was
employed to calculate emission quantities for
all important sources within each segment of
the grain and feed industry. A summary of emis-
sions and projections for each segment is
presented. Sources include grain elevators,
feed mills, alfalfa dehydration plants, wheat
mills, durum mills, rye mills, dry corn mills, oat
mills, rice mills, commercial rice dryers,
soybean mills, wet corn mills.

Although several reviews of thermal influences
on performance have appeared during the past
decade, none have succeeded in synthesizing
the various experimental results. In the mean-
time, new evidence has been presented from
several studies, particularly those in classroom
situations. The present report takes a critical
look at this recent work, and hypothesizing that
to the human the degree of warmth is merely
relative to its subjective perception, attempts to
find common basis for comparison of levels of
performance by different populations in greatly
differing thermal environments. When viewed
from the basis of levels of thermal comfort, the
seemingly chaotic information that is available
can be drawn into some focus, and many of the
apparent contradictions and erroneous in-
terpretations tend to become considerably
diminished.

vestigate the magnitude of radiochemical pol-
lution to receiving waters. This report describes
the findings of the study and other related
problems associated with processing of
phosphate fertilizers, such as air pollution,
ground-water contamination, possible deleteri-
ous consequences of fertilizer use, effects on
other receiving water uses, including shellfish
and drinking water supplies, and the use of by-
product material in the construction industry.
Throughout the report a comparison has been
made of reconnaissance sampling results with
promulgated radiochemical standards and
guidelines. Pollution control and analysis and

Dredging was used as a method to remove
62,600 cubic yards of silt from Lake Herman
during the summers of 1970, 1971, and 1972.
The silt was transported via a pipeline to a silt
deposit area adjacent to the northeast corner of
the lake. The water removed by the dredging
process drained by gravity along a gradual
slope, dropping its silt and losing nutrients to
the lush vegetation, and eventually returned to
the lake. In the bay area where dredging oc-
curred water depth was increased from 5.5 feet
to approximately 11 feet. There was no signifi-
cant change in the levels of biological organ-
isms or nutrients, except for phosphorus, which
increased just after the dredging began.

through a sequence of interrelated experiments
and theoretical models: by oppositely charged
supermicron drops; by bicharged drops; arid by
drops charged to the same polarity as the parti-

collection for a system with different effective
drop and gas residence times. The report
shows, experimentally and through theoretical
models, that all three of the above configura-
tions have the same collection characteristics.
Charging of the drops in any of these cases:
results in dramatically improved efficiency,
compared to inertial scrubbers; and ap-
proaches the efficiency of high-efficiency elec-

The report gives results of an investigation of
combustion modification techniques for con-
trolling NOx emissions that have application to
pulverized coal-fired utility boilers. The
techniques, studied on a 5 million Btu/hr sin-
gle-burner pilot unit, included: excess air, air
preheat, firing rate, flue gas recirculation,
staged, combustion, quench, and swirl. Tests
conducted with a Colorado coal showed that
NOx reduction of up to 65% were possible by
using staged combustion or by lowering excess
air levels from 30 to zero %. Flue gas recircula-
tion yielded only moderate NOx reductions for
coal. For existing units, control of excess air
appears to be the simplest method for NOx
reduction. Where possible, staged combustion
could be retrofitted on existing units to achieve
further NOx reductions. For new units, staged
combustion combined with low excess air firing
appears to be the most promising method for
NOx control.

The microbial degradation and sorption of car-
baryl, malathion, butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-DBE), methox-
ychlor, atrazine, diazinon, captan, parathion,
and toxaphene were investigated. Malathion
and 2,4-DBE were found to undergo transfor-
mation readily in both bacterial and fungal cul-
tures. Degradation of malathion and 2,4-DBE at
low concentrations (< 1mg/l) in batch cultures
of bacteria followed second-order kinetics as
predicted by the Michaelis-Menten theory. A
single isomer, beta-monoacid of malathion,
was the primary metabolite in transformation of
malathion by both bacterial and fungal popula-
tions. The major metabolite found in 2,4-DBE
studies was 2,4-D. Carbaryl underwent chemi-
cal hydrolysis to alpha-naphthal in both
heterogeneous bacterial cultures and uninocu-
lated controls. In the cultures alpha-naphthol
was metabolized to 1,4-naphthoquinone and
two unidentified compounds. Bacterial
degradation of methoxychlor was slower than
bacterial degradation of malathion or 2,4-DBE.
The insecticide was metabolized to methox-
ychlor-DDE. Rapid and extensive sorption of
pesticides to fungi, bacteria, and algae was ob-
served with methoxychlor and toxaphene, but
with any of the other pesticides investigated.

This report on the basic fertilizer chemicals
segment of the fertilizer manufacturing industry
analyzes the economic impacts of water pollu-
tion controls. Under the provisions of Sections
304 and 306 of the Federal Water Pollution Con-
trol Act, EPA has proposed effluent guidelines
for basic fertilizer chemicals plants. The pur-
pose of this study is the evaluation of potential
economic impacts resulting from the imple-
mentation of the effluent guidelines. The
evaluation approach used is generally one of
describing and analyzing the industry in terms
of structure; number and types of firms and
plants; location, age and technology of plants;
financial data for model or representative
plants; and pricing practices and supply-de-
mand relationships. Then, pollution control
costs are super-imposed on the model plant
profiles to determine micro-economic effects,
such as price increases expected and potential
closures. Macro impacts on the industry are
then analyzed for effects on employment, com-
munities, balance of payments and related mat-
ters.

This study evaluates the technical, economic
and environmental feasibility of automotive
waste oil reuse as a fuel. The supply and poten-
tial marketability of waste oil fuel is considered
in relationship to existing and projected fossil
fuel usage in the United States. Moreover, its
use will alleviate a serious waste oil disposal
problem. The physical and chemical properties
of waste oil are presented and serve as the
basis for subsequent assessment of waste oil
usage options. Options considered are the use
of untreated waste oil as a blended fuel oil or as
a supplement to coal combustion and the use
of waste oil following treatment to alleviate
technical and environmental impacts. Various
treatment methods are discussed and their cost
and effectiveness assessed. The reduction of
environmental impacts by the use of paniculate
emission control system and industrial utiliza-
tion of fuel and control equipment.

The report analyzes and documents the ra-
tionale and related methodology for monitoring
groundwater pollution caused by mining and
mineral processing. Notes that some mines and
waste-disposal areas will continue to be pollu-
tion sources long after the mines have closed,
and that because of the broad range of mining
activities and diversity of geologic and
hydrologic settings, monitoring programs for
mineral operations must be individually con-
sidered. The report reviews technology for at-
source control of water pollution from mining
and points out that some methods used to im-
prove surface water quality may cause deteri-
oration in groundwater quality. It also discusses
existing state and Federal laws and regulations
for control of mine drainage pollution and the
inability of most to influence the design, per-
mitting, or abandonment of underground mines
on the basis of water pollution considerations.

Lee County, Mississippi, has demonstrated a
unique county-wide approach to rural solid
waste collection and disposal. Many of the
smaller secondary roads in the county could
not be safely traveled by a large packer truck.
However, by placing wheel-and-axle-mounted
mobil waste containers in areas with these
roads, collection service could be provided to
rural locations. On collection day, a pick-up
truck would tow the mobil containers to a
predetermined point for emptying by the packer
truck. Standard stationary containers are util-
ized along improved roads. The final report on
this project describes the system, documents
the implementation problems and provides cost
data.

Confronted with shortages of low-sulfur con-

trol authorities in the northeastern states were
forced to relax air-quality standards during the
winters of 1972-73 and 1973-74. the authorities
did so by granting variances to their sulfur-con-

All 55 State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are in
the process of being amended. The number of
fully approved SIPs has dropped from 3 to 0,
partly because EPA, in response to court or-
ders, proposed or promulgated regulations for
non-significant deterioration, variances and en-
forcement orders, and public availability of
data. Issues that affect the SIP process and the
complexities inherent in the SIP framework are
discussed. The number of major emitters
identified has increased to 19,200; 70 percent of
these are now in compliance with an emission
standard or an acceptable compliance
schedule. The goal of attaining ambient air
quality standards will probably not be achieved
in all AQCRs by the statutory deadlines, but the
SIP process is accomplishing reductions in am-
bient levels of the criteria pollutants on a na-
tionwide basis.

Available literature on the formation of
halogenated organic compounds during the
Chlorination of water supplies has been
reviewed critically. Types of organic com-
pounds likely to be encountered in natural
waters have been surveyed and various known
or prospective reactions of dilute aqueous
chlorine with these types of compounds have
been discussed. It is concluded that two prin-
cipal types of Chlorination reaction are ex-
pected: (1) etectrophilic aromatic Chlorination
as in the long-known formation of
chlorophenols;. and (2) electrophilic chlorine
addition to activated double bonds like that of
enolacetone. Chloroform or other haloforms
may occur as end products of exhaustive
Chlorination in either case. General substitution
reactions of chlorine are unlikely however.
Possible methods for minimizing the concen-
trations of halogenated organic compounds in
municipal supplies have been outlined. These
include pretreatment methods, such as coagu-
lation or preozonation to reduce amounts of
precursors to the halogenated compounds, and
posttreatment methods, such as carbon ad-
sorption or aeration to remove halogenated
compounds after their formation. Needed
research has been described.

A method for measuring concentration of
suspended solids in liquid media, based on
depolarization of backscattered polarized light,
has been developed and instrumented. Feasi-
bility studies and field evaluation of the instru-
ment, using sewage influent, effluent and
sludge, showed that there is a specific relation-
ship between concentration of solid particles
and polarization ratio. It was also shown that
the relationship is independent of size distribu-
tion and density of particles, color of particles
or solution, sludge consistency, velocity, and
build-up of solids on the optical window. The
field evaluation results indicate that this instru-
ment provides a continuous instantaneous in

mirex and methoxychlor, on striped mullet,
Mugil cephalus L., were studied. Test concen-
trations of both insecticides used were 0.01,
0.1. 1.0 and 10.0 ppm in dynamic bipassay.
Young juveniles were more susceptible to
mirex exposure than older juveniles or adults.
For young juveniles, mortalities were highest in
concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 ppm and were
less in concentrations of 0.01 and 10.0 ppm.
Significant amounts of mirex residues were ac-
cumulated in the body tissues of the test fish;
concentrations increased with increased en-
vironmental concentrations. Methoxychlor was
more toxic to mullet than mirex. Mortalities
were greater than 90 percent over a 96-hour
period for all life stages studied at concentra-
tion of 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 ppm. Relative to mirex,
small amounts of methoxychlor residues accu-
mulated in the tissues of the test fish. Results of
the experiments on eggs and larvae were in-
conclusive.

The Federal Government is the largest single
purchaser of construction in the United States.
The study examines the feasibility of the
Government's using this considerable purchas-
ing power to require the use of secondary
materials in construction products as a means
of increasing recycling. The analysis of Federal
construction procurement policies, laws, regu-
lations, and funding levels shows that while the
Government is a major purchaser of construc-
tion material's, there are significant constraints
to requiring recycled materials in these
products. An in-depth technical and economic
analysis of opportunities to use secondary
materials recovered from the municipal solid
waste stream shows that Federal construction
procurement could impact significantly on the
materials in the municipal solid waste stream.

concepts, including an analysis and evaluation
of the applicability of these concepts to new au-

engines, prechamber engines exhibit very low
carbon monoxide emissions accompanied by
some reduction in the emission of nitrogen ox-
ides. However, the hydrocarbon emission from
prechamber engines is similar to that of con-
ventional engines employing non-catalytic
emission control systems, indicating a need for
aftertreatment devices such as lean thermal
reactors or catalytic converters. The fuel con-
sumption of vehicles equipped with precham-
bers is similar to or slightly better than that of
equivalent conventional vehicles at comparable
levels of emission control.

The New Jersey Zinc Company process for acid
recovery employs spray evaporation to separate
sutfuric acid from metallic sulfates. The salts
are removed as dry, free-flowing solids and the
acid-laden off-gas is directly cooled to partially
condense product acid having a concentration
in excess of 85% H2SO4. The process was
piloted at Palmerton, Pennsylvania, at a rate of
two tons per day of sulfuric acid (100 percent
basis) using as feed the Waste stream of a titani-
um dioxide pigment plant. On the basis of the
pilot work, a commercial plant was designed to
process 345.000 metric tons annually of 19.5
percent H2SO4 waste end liquor from a 38.100-
metric-ton-per-year pigment plant. The esti-
mated investment (as of January 1, 1975) is
$7,800,000. Operating costs (including
depreciation at 10 percent) would be approxi-
mately $77 per metric ton of 100 percent H2SO4
recovered. This cost includes neutralization of
the dried solids and disposal in a landf i II site.

A pilot plant study was carried out which
demonstrated the effectiveness and economic
feasibility of a unique ion exchange process
referred to as 'acid retardation' for purifying
spent phosphoric acid used in bright finishing
aluminum parts. A continuous ion exchange
system was employed to separated the alu-
minum contamination from a spent phosphoric
acid waste obtained from a manufacturing
plant. The anion resin accomplishes the
separation by retarding the phosphoric acid as
the processing solution flows through the bed.
The aluminum remains in the waste solution
and passes out of the column in the effluent.
The acid is then eluted from the bed with water,
eliminating the use of chemicals which are
needed to regenerate the resin in conventional
ion exchange systems.

The focus of this study is on how air pollution
relates to land use planning. Of central concern
is the land use planning implications of the
1970 Clean Air Amendments. Major topics are
(a) the potential role of land use controls under
the Clean Air Act of 1970, (b) the Vermont and
Maine comprehensive land use statutes—an
analysis of procedures, (c) administrative
review procedures for relating land use
planning to air quality management, (d) buffer
zones as a control over air pollution—an appli-
cation of the eminent domain and zoning
powers, (e) selected local controls, (f) the
generation of emissions, (g) the dispersion of
pollutants, (h) air quality management in
California, (i) the controversy over non-
degradation, and (j) a perspective on land use
controls.

possible deleterious effects on human health
and welfare. Sources, distribution, measure-
ment, and control technology are also con-
sidered. Results of an extensive literature
search are presented. Experiments have shown
a number of polycyclic organic compounds to
be carcinogenic in animals. Although these
same compounds have not been proven to be
carcinogenic in humans, evidence strongly
suggests that they may contribute to the 'urban
factor.' In American males, the urban lung
cancer death rate is about twice the rural rate,
even after adjustment for differences in smok-
ing habits. Evidence suggests significant dif-
ferences between specific urban areas across
the United States. The bulk of the available data
is in terms of Benzo(a)pyrene; so this com-
pound has been used as an index on paniculate
polycyclic organic matter.

The model 1206 Orion Research cyanide moni-
tor was investigated using the Orion specifica-
tions and environmental considerations as a
guide. Laboratory tests under controlled en-
vironmental conditions showed the electronic
stability (drift) to be within 0.1% over the tem-
perature range of 5C to 35C. Sensor stability,
over the temperature range 5C to 35C was
tested by applying free cyanide ion (standard
solutions of 1 mg/l and 10 mg/l) as direct input
to the monitors. Dynamic on-stream measure-
ments were made from a metal plating process
rinse stream in a field installation of the moni-
tor, and these measurements were periodically
compared with those of the standard method
for total cyanide. This field installation revealed
the comparisons were widely variable. Steady-
state comparisons were made of field-collected
samples with the standard method for deter-
mining total cyanide. These tests revealed that
a 15% to 20% loss in cyanide concentration
resulted from the required straining and filter-
ing of the sample input to the monitor.

The report lists potentially hazardous materials
which may be associated with the air, water.
and solid waste from a refinery, a coke plant, a
Lurgi high-Btu gas process, and the solvent
refined coal process. Fugitive loss was
identified as the major emissions source in the
refinery, although its composition is difficult to
quantify. Coking is the most offensive of the
four processes assessed. Coal gasification may
produce materials as dangerous as those from
the coke plant, but the former will probably be
more contained than coke oven emissions. The
environmental impact of coal liquefaction is not
well defined; however, liquefaction products
will probably be more hazardous than crude oil
products, and their refining and utilization will
be worse offenders than corresponding
petroleum operations.

Measurements of the sky intensity in the solar
vertical plane and in the solar almucantar were
taken at an arctic location near Barrow, Alaska,
a sub-arctic location at Ester Dome, Alaska, and
a tropical station at Loiyengalani, Kenya. The
data were used to obtain the aerosol scattering
phase function for various synoptic conditions
and air-mass types. The scattering phase func-
tions were compared to calculated phase func-
tions obtained by assuming various forms of
the aerosol size distribution function. Based on
the criteria of the best fit of the phase functions
the corresonding aerosol size distribution func-
tion and the quasi-monochromatic optical
depth, numerical estimates were made of the
columnar aerosol mass loading. Typical of con-
tinental observations, a Junge power-law
aerosol size distribution approximates the ob-
served scattering phase function rather well.
The observations indicate that the Junge
power-law exponent, depends upon air mass
type and to a lesser extent on local climatologi-
cal conditions.

An optimum system for the lime stabilization of
municipal sewage sludge was first developed
and then evaluated. The primary objectives of
this work were: (1) To determine the degree of
stability induced in a sludge by lime addition
and (2) to determine the effects of spreading
lime-stabilized sludge on agricultural land.
Lime doses and contact times required to
eleiminate the pathogenic bacteria and odors
from a raw sludge were determined by labora-
tory studies, and the information obtained was
translated into design and operational parame-
ters for a pilot scale, continuous flow process.
Physical, chemical, and biological charac-
teristics of both the raw and stabilized sludges
were measured. Soil and crop studies, both in a
greenhouse and on controlled outdoor plots,
were performed to determine the effects of
spreading lime-stabilized sludge. Effective lime
stabilization of sludge was accomplished by
elevating the pH to 12.0 with lime addition and
maintaining this pH level for at least 30 minutes.

The report summarizes and evaluates the
health hazards associated with municipal solid
waste/sewage sludge composting by the win-
drow composting process. The occurrence and
survival of pathogens, parasites, and indicator
bacteria at various stages during the compost-
ing process are described. The study shows
that windrow temperatures of 120F to 167F
(49C-74C) maintained for at least seven days
destroy pathogens and human parasites. Dog
parasitic ova, however, remain intact 35 days
after exposure. Considerable variation in the
temperature is found at the top and bottom two
inches of the windrow indicating that proper
turning of the compost is essential to ensure
destruction of pathogens and parasites. It is
concluded that a properly composted solid
waste or solid waste/sewage sludge mixture is
microbiologically acceptable as a soil condi-
tioner for gardens, farms, and lawns, or for
filling areas of erosion without creating health
hazards.

This report presents the results of studies of
copper recovery (and incidental reduction of
hexavalent chromium) in brass mill discharge
by passage of the discharge over scrap iron in a
rotating drum. The drum feed consisted of nor-
mal production discharge of combined pickle
rinse water and spent sulfuric acid and sulfuric
acid-bichromate pickle. About half of the total
mill waste discharge over a period of 16 weeks
was processed. Four modes of drum operation
were studied: (1) continuous rotation, (2) no
rotation, (3) intermittent rotation (1 hr off - 5
min on), and (4) intermittent rotation (2-1/2 hr
off - 10 min on). Each mode was studied at two
flow levels and two scrap iron surface area
levels. Data were evaluated in terms of percent
cementation of available copper, excess iron
consumption over theoretical, and complete-
ness of chromium reduction. Results indicate
that the over-riding factor in the efficiency of
copper cementation is the level of copper in the
feed solution. Hexavalent chromium is effec-
tively reduced providing the pH is below 2.5.

The report gives results of a program to develop
methods for the continuous extraction of
representative gas samples from gas streams
that exhibit compositional stratification, such
as in a stack or chimney. The program con-
sidered available data in the literature, as well
as field data generated during the program.
Wind tunnel tests and mathematical modeling
were used to develop sampling methodologies
which are recommended. Results from the
literature and field surveys indicate that gas
stratification exists, but it is likely to be less
general and less severe than participate stratifi-
cation. For a given gas stream, it is necessary to
make a preliminary gas concentration survey to
determine the existence of spatial stratification.
The authors recommend methods for obtaining
representative gas samples. They also ex-
amined the use of devices to mix stratified gas
streams.

and imperfections in the model. Suggestions
are made regarding the major problem of

The magnesium carbonate process of water
treatment has replaced alum in a portion of two
water plants in full scale studies conducted
over the past two and one-half years. This new
water treatment technology was compared to
the presently used alum process in parallel
treatment using identical units in Montgomery,
Alabama and Melbourne, Florida. All water is
recycled within the process along with the three
basic water treatment chemicals - lime, mag-
nesium bicarbonate, and carbon dioxide. Other
advantages found were increased floe settling
rates, simplicity of operation and control,
reduced costs when sludge treatment and
disposal costs are considered, and more
complete disinfection. In Melbourne's case,
considerable energy would be conserved by
on-site lime recovery.

The program objectives was to evaluate hard-
ware and techniques for the continuous mea-
surement of the total gas flowrate from sta-
tionary sources, specifically in large or complex
ducts where total flow metering devices such as
plate orifices are not practical. Work consisted
of formulation of operating specifications,
evaluation of commercially available velocity
sensors, development and evaluation of flow
mapping techniques, and field demonstration
of both hardware and technique. Results
showed that total volumetric flowrate can be
measured with accuracies consistently better
than 10% in either circular or rectangular ducts
through proper placement of from one to eight
flow sensors, when standard traversal
techniques would require twenty to fifty
traverse points. The rectangular duct mapping
techniques developed during the program were
found to have optimum accuracy immediately
downstream of an elbow. Several off-the-shelf
velocity sensors were found acceptable for use
in the specified stack-type environment The
field demonstrations verified the acceptability
of both hardware and techniques.

northern regions in this respect. Interior Alaska
was very dry in the summer of 1966 and thun-

report is based, was caused by lightning on July
23,1966, and burned into Septemeber covering
a total of over 1/4 million acres. The objectives
of this study were: To develop sufficient un-
derstanding of the effects of forest fires on
water quality of Alaskan streams so that it may
be possilbe to make rational decisions for al-
locating manpower and funds for controlling
specific fires and; to develop an understanding
of needs for rehabilitation (revegetation, ero-

The inflow, outflow, and in-lake water quality
and quantity of Utah Lake in Central Utah was
studied over a 36-month period. The work was
undertaken to determine the effect of a
proposed diking project on the quality and
quantity of lake water and to develope
methodology for determining the effect of dik-
ing or other management practices on the
quality of water in any lake system. A Computer
simulation model was developed which is able
to analyze the effect of a given management
program on the water quality of the lake, par-
ticularly as related to the 'conservative salts'
present. The simulation model was also used to
evaluate the evaporation from the lake by use of
a salt balance technique. Results of the
research indicated that the diking of Utah Lake
will have a positive beneficial effect upon the
water quality of the lake and will also result in
considerable saving of water and reclamation
of valuable land.

that result from man's disturbing geological
formations in which asbestos occurs as an ac-
cessory mineral. An extensive literature search
yielded a catalog of all known and probable oc-
currences of asbestos in the United States.
These locations were screened to identify large
mining activities which could cause release of
asbestos to the atmosphere. Sixteen such sites
were identified. Emissions were estimated for
these sites, based on production figures and
the nature of the operations. Two sites were
selected from this group for further charac-
terization based on probable emissions and
population density considerations. Ambient air
samples were taken at the two sites, using high
volume samplers; the samples were analyzed.
using electron microscope techniques. The
findings are discussed.

An investigation was conducted, as part of

primary separator, helical combined sewer
overflow regulator, and related studies, to
characterize the properties of solids in sanitary
sewage, combined sewer overflows, and storm-
water runoff. To effectuate this study, material
suitable for monitoring removal efficiencies in
hydraulic models of the swirl concentrator unit
has been developed. The approach taken in the
simulation sewage studies, was to match as
closely as possible the settling characteristics
of solids in three types of sewage and/or urban
runoff with a well-defined, uniform artificial test
material. Importantly, as background informa-
tion for the selection of synthesized solids, the
settling characteristics (including size and
specific gravity distribution) of sanitary sewage,
combined sewer overflow and stormwater were
determined. These values will be useful for fu-
ture determinations of physical treatment
process design and associated treatability.

As more and more emission standards are
enacted, control agencies will be faced with the
evaluation of stack test data. A mass emission
rate or concentration will be either reasonable,
high, or low, and the evaluator is faced with the
task of determining which is the case. Part 2
presents a method using specific calculations
to determine whether proper sampling condi-
tions (isokinetic for particulates) were actually
attained. By calculating the mass emission rate
by two methods - <1) by the ratio of areas and (2)
by the concentration basis, the ratio of the
results yields the apparent average proportion
of isokinetic conditions.

processes for such recovery, and the selection.
design, and costing of a recommended
process. The study included a survey of the

treatment practices relevant to metal-finishers'
sludges, and to identify metal recovery
processes possibly applicable to those sludges.
This information was supplemented with a sur-
vey by questionnaire to determine the current
status of relevant practices and conditions.
Field investigations provided detailed examples
of plant practices, sludge storage conditions,
and sludge characteristics. The extraction of
metal values from waste sludges by various
leaching agents, and the recovery of metal
values by techniques including electrowinning,
cementation, and liquid-liquid ion exchange
were studied. A portable pilot process for the
treatment of waste sludges and recovery of

The synergistic effect of CO and two commonly
prescribed drugs, phenacetin and diphen-
hydramine hydrochloride were evaluated. The
COHb saturation tested was 14 percent (above
average for cigarette smokers), while drug
doses were those usually prescribed. No syner-
gistic effects were observed in the study. Three
additional observations were made: (1) the oc-
currence of CO induced headaches at COHb
saturations of 14 percent; (2) the possible effect
of CO exposure on EEG activity at this level;
and (3) the finding that phenacetin, as an anal-
gesic, did not lessen the headaches induced by
the CO exposure.

The effects of CO and ethyl alcohol on
behavioral test performance were assessed at
24 hour exposure as compared to a 5-1/2 hour
exposure to identical concentrations of CO. A
dose level of 1.6ml of 100 proof alcohol/kg
body weight and a COHb blood level of approxi-
mately 14 percent were chosen. The purpose of
the study was to test the hypothesis that a 24-
hour exposure to low levels of CO would have
deleterious effects on behavior and that alcohol
would potentiate such effects. The data ob-
tained from tests of coordination, arithmetic,
inspection, manual dexterity, time estimation,
and vigilance did not provide evidence to sub-
stantiate either of these hypotheses. The only
positive result was alcohol adversely affects
eye-hand coordination.

ing and remote control techniques to reduce
pollution of receiving waters from combined
sewer overflows and storm wastewater pump-
ing. The monitoring system includes telemeter-
ing rain gages, sewer level sensors and over-
flow sensors and a central computer and data
logging facility. Wastewater pump stations and
certain key regulators were remotely controlled
to allow in-system storage. Remotely controlled
sluice gates were installed in a sewer to study
the feasibility of using dry weather flow to flush
sewers. The report includes a detailed discus-
sion and evaluation of the monitoring and
remote control equipment, installation details.

trol equipment, installation details, the concept
of in-system storage, and the operation of the
system based on an 18-month study period.
Detroit has found that many of the larger
sewers are not used to capacity during storms.
Utilization of system monitoring and remote
control techniques has resulted in a significant
reduction in the volume of combined sewer
overflows and storm wastewater pumping as
well as reduced operation and maintenance
costs.

levels that are toxic to humans. The research is
directed toward elucidating the mechanisms of
organic mercury concentration in the tissues of

mercury; that is. the capacity of the tissues to
take up, concentrate and store MeHg, and the
half-retention time of this compound in the tis-
sues.

Separating municipal solid waste into its valua-
ble and recycleable elemental components is
examined here in terms of various mechanical
engineering schemes and processes that might
best accomplish this task. Although past efforts
have concentrated on first reducing the particle
size by shredding, this investigation considered
the advantages of whole-item coding and sort-
ing without the expensive shredding operation.
The result was an interesting base technology
for a proposed pilot plant design that could
potentially redirect future resource recovery ef-
forts in solid waste.

than in nonsmokers. The sera tested were ob-
tained from army recruits in the Chicago area.
517 smokers and 147 nonsmokers. The
smokers and nonsmokers were further
categorized by geographic location and by the
presence of cough and phlegm. Quantitative
determination of levels of IgA. IgG, IgM, and C3
in the samples of sera were by the method of
single radial immunodiffusion described by
Fahey and McKelvey. The results indicated that
no significant differences existed between the

The work herein reported is the University of
Michigan's contribution to a larger scope deal-
ing with the environmental impacts of outboard
engine usage on small lake systems. This part
of the total project is concerned with laboratory
investigations. A wide variety of two-stroke en-
gines were run under load conditions and the
emissions, both condensable and noncon-
densables. analyzed. The influence of main-
tenance on emissions was also examined and
found to have little effect. Crankcase drainage
constituted only a small fraction of the total
hydrocarbons emitted and was enriched in oil
over the fuel. Exhaust products which one
could reasonably expect to be condensable in a
water-column constituted less than 10% of fuel
fed in all cases and usually considerably less.
The major portion of the water condensable
aromatics evaporated fairly rapidly from the
receiving water, but a portion was non-volatile.
Analytical methods for field study were
developed and the toxicity of both condensed
exhaust and individual compounds in gasoline
to goldfish were determined.

The objective of the study was 'to obtain suffi-
cient laboratory and field data to be able to pre-
dict the number of outboard engines which can
be operated on any particular body of water
without causing adverse effects on the aquatic
environment.' To achieve this objective four
small natural bodies of water were subjected to
outboard engine emissions three times greater
than saturation (maximum) levels occurring
under 'real world' boating conditions. These
natural water bodies were stressed at these
high levels with outboard engine exhaust emis-
sions for a period of three years. The study
showed that there were no 'dramatic' or acute
changes in the physical, chemical or biological
characteristics of the water or sediments of the
test lakes at these high stressing levels.

The study was conducted to determine the ef-
fects of two-cycle outboard engine emissions
on Florida lakes using leaded fuel and drained
and drainless engines. Field investigations
were performed in three natural lakes of two to
ten acres near Gainesville, Florida. One lake
was treated with 'drainless' engines and one
with engines which 'drained' unbumed fuel into
the water. The third lake served as a control.
Biological components and water quality con-
ditions in the three lakes were monitored by
routine standard procedures for a time period
of 16 months during which motors were
operated at the rate of 2.4 gallons of fuel per
million gallons of water per day. During the
course of the field investigation, there was no
overt evidence of any significant effect of motor
emissions on the benthic macroinvertebrates,
phytoplankton, periphyton, and fish taste;
although the data indicated that plant produc-
tion in the grassbeds may have increased as a
result of engine operation. This increase in
plant production was evident during the grow-
ing season when the availability of carbon diox-
ide limited plant growth in the grassbed com-
munity.

The research project involved laboratory and

study was conducted by Environmental Control
Technology Corporation, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The southern lakes-field study was conducted
by Environmental Science and Engineering,
Inc., Gainesville, Florida. To achieve the project
objective four ponds were subjected to out-
board engine emissions at a rate calculated to
be three times greater than that from saturation
boating levels. Some marginal changes in the
lakes biota were noted but the differences were
such that it is not certain whether they were
from natural or stress effects. As a result it was
not possible to determine conclusively the
precise point at which outboard emissions ef-
fect the aquatic environment. Based on the
results, it is plausible to conclude, however,
that because of the high stress levels employed
in this study, outboard motor emissions do not
significantly affect aquatic ecosystems.

The spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEC)
and the visual evoked cortical electrical activity
(visual evoked response, VER) were studied in
young adult males to ascertain the effects of ex-
posure to carbon monoxide (CO). The EEG was
found to be generally resistant to change dur-
ing eight hours of exposure at the lower CO
concentrations (maximum carboxyhemoglobin
saturations of 10 and 22 percent). During the
eight hour exposures, the VER was generally
resistant to change until COHb levels of 22 per-
cent were achieved, while with 24 hours of ex-
posure changes were evident even at the lowest
concentrations (COHb equals 4-10 percent).
This change, an increase in VER wave am-
plitude, suggest that these exposures induced
central nervous system depression.

tionary sources. Mobile source emission inven-
tories were calculated for the New York City,

the mobile source area, emission control cost
factors ($/ton) in general decrease in numerical
value as the vehicle weight increases. This

cost factor comparisons, where the cost factors
decreased in numerical value as the system size

A detailed method write-up describing the
Chemiluminescence procedure for the continu-
ous measurement of nitrogen dioxide in am-
bient air was developed. Atmospheric concen-
trations of NO2 are measured indirectly by the
Chemiluminescence reaction of nitric oxide
(NO) with ozone (O3). The NO2 is first thermally
reduced to NO before it is reacted with O3. The
reliability of measurements made by a continu-
ous or instrumental sampling method is
strongly affected by its calibration. In the
Chemiluminescence procedure, an NO2
analyzer is calibrated by the gas phase titration
of NO with 03 that produces NO2 stoich iometri-
cally. The gas phase titration calibration
procedure was subjected to a ruggedness test.
The results indicate that normal variations in
such factors as reaction and mixing chamber
volumes, ratio of dilution air flow to flow
through the ozone generator, use of difference
ozone generators with different dilution air
flows, and use of different standard NO levels
had little effect on the gas phase titration
procedure.

A collection device for the sampling of at-
mospheric mercury in its three forms, was
miniaturized and streamlined and methods for
the recovery and analysis of the collected mer-
cury were simplified. The device consists of a
two-section canister assembly which fits inside
a standard Hi-Vol sampler underneath the sup-
port screen for the participate filter. While par-
ticulate mercury is collected in the usual
manner on glass fiber filter, mercury vapors are
trapped on specific absorbants, i.e. elemental
mercury on silver-impregnated alumina in the
upper canister section and combined mercury
vapors on charcoal in the lower section.
Procedures have been developed and tested for
the recovery and analysis of elemental mercury,
dimethyl mercury and mercury-bearing particu-
lates. These methods use standard laboratory
instrumentation including an induction com-
bustion furnace and an atomic absorption
spectrophotometer.

A bench-scale study of high-rate disinfection of
combined sewer overflows with chlorine and
chlorine dioxide was performed to aid in the
design and operation of full-scale prototype
treatment facilities. Four logarithm reduction in
three indicator bacteria and several common
viruses were obtained with 25 mg/l chlorine or
12 mg/l chlorine dioxide in two-minutes con-
tact time. Sequential addition of disinfectants
enhanced the process such that only eight mg/l
of chlorine followed in 15 to 30 seconds by two
mg/l chlorine dioxide were necessary to obtain
similar reductions.

A study was conducted in the Ohio Valley area
in 1974 to investigate high rural oxidant con-
centrations above the NAAOS and their possi-
ble relationship to urban hydrocarbons. Data
regarding the oxidant, nitrogen dioxide, and
hydrocarbon relationships were obtained by
sampling from,a network consisting of five rural
and six urban ground stations and an instru-
mented aircraft. Gases sampled were ozone,
nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. Gas chro-
matograms of grab samples collected at three
rural ground stations near Columbus and dur-
ing aircraft flights were used to identify
hydrocarbon species and possible tracers in-
dicative of urban-generated pollution. The im-
plication is that the release of hydrocarbons
and oxides of nitrogen from anthropogenic or
biogenic sources, located in either an urban or
rural area, all combine to generate appreciable
quantities of ozone over wide areas.

This report summarizes research on the use of
waste glass as an aggregate in asphaltic paying
mixtures. Reusing waste glass in this manner
would provide an outlet for large quantities of
the glass and would permit recycling in urban
areas where large accumulations of glass are
found. Field tests as well as observations of
pavement performance have indicated that field
installations of asphaltic paving mixtures con-
taining glass have generally maintained
adequate skid resistance and performed ac-
ceptably from a structural standpoint. The
economic feasibility of using waste glass as an
aggregate in asphaltic concrete depends
primarily on developing resource recovery
systems that can separate glass along with
other recyclable components and generate
enough revenues from their sale, plus disposal
and processing fees, to produce an acceptable
return on equity.

Specifications presented in this repot represent
first efforts to define uniform qualities of
materials separated from municipal solid waste
in resource recovery processing plants for sub-

specifications adds value to outputs and
promotes acceptance by users as a result of
providing basis for quality assurance.
Recoverable materials investigated in this study
are: folded newsprint and corrugated paper,
ferrous metals, aluminum, other nonferrous
metals, glass cullet, inorganic fines, mixed or-
ganics (for fuel). Indications of possible con-
tamination were obtained on a limited scale by
reviewing literature, visiting plants, and coor-
dinating with the activities of a companion
research grant which included processing pilot
quantities of municipal solid waste from several
cities.

ing the process technology to be proven in ap-
plication, a prescribed set of representative
power plant, process design, and economic
premises was established. For each process
design, projections are included for a base case
(500-MW, 3.5% S in coal, new unit) and 16 other
variations in power unit size, fuel type (coal or
Oil), sulfur in fuel, unit status (new vs. existing),
solids disposal method (off-site vs. on-site
ponding), and SO2 removal (80% vs. 90%).
Capital investment, annual operating costs
(7.000 hr/yr) and lifetime operating costs (over
a 30-year declining operating profile) were esti-
mated for the base case and each variation.
Using sensitivity analysis, effects of variations
in energy costs, raw material costs, main-
tenance costs, cost of capital, operating labor
cost escalation, and net sales revenue were stu-
died. A 3-year construction schedule ending in
mid-1975 is assumed fora midwestem location.
Investment costs (mid-1974 dollars) can be
scaled or altered to reflect any predictable pro-
ject schedule, escalation rate, or location.

The purpose of the project was to prepare plans
and specifications which, when executed by a
contractor, will abate the acid mine drainage
presently polluting Cherry Creek in western
Maryland. The abatement of this pollution will
allow Cherry Creek to support a fisheries pro-
gram, and will improve the quality of the water
in Deep Creek Lake. The study was performed
in conjunction with the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency as part of an effort to deal with
elimination and control of mine drainage.
Benefits other than water quality improvement
include the aesthetic benefits from strip mine
reclamation since Cherry Creek is adjacent to
the large Deep Creek Lake recreation area. The
abatement measures will eliminate 95% of the
net acid load in the Creek. The total construc-
tion project includes two strip mine reclamation
sites in the Casselman River watershed.

drainage pollution, in the Dents Run watershed
near Morgantown. West Virginia and to recom-
mend a plan for the correction of these
problems. Plans were prepared for these sig-
nificant sources of pollution: wastewater
(sewage or industrial), solid waste, junK cars,
and burning coal refuse piles. Short and long
range programs were developed and five priori-
ties determined. The first is sewage disposal for
individual rural homes, followed by banking
burning coal refuse. Long range program pri-
orities included sewage disposal for the Dents
Run area, collection and disposal of solid
waste, a county-wide program to remove junk
cars, the establishment of a covered bridge as a
tourist attraction, road repairs, and the enlarge-
ment of an existant public park.

were examined. Walleye eggs and fry were ex-
posed to six temperatures (6-21C) for effects on
fertilization, incubation, and fry survival. Mature
sauger were held and eggs were fertilized at
four temperatures (9-18C). Both species were
incubated at 6-21C. Sauger fry survival was also
tested at 6-21 C. Optimum fertilization tempera-
tures were 6-12C for walleye and 9-15C for
sauger. Optimum incubation temperatures
were 12-15C for both walleye and sauger. A
sharp drop or rise in temperature had no great
effect on walleye fry and juvenile survival ex-
cept when the upper lethal or lower lethal tem-
perature was approached. Optimum tempera-

baseline of the existence of fish species; their
relative abundance and distribution; the habitat
degradations due to pollution and their effects
on changes in fish population diversity, dis-
tribution and abundance. Changes in fish spe-
cies are attributed to stream obstruction, pollu-
tion, siltation, loss of aquatic vegetation and
other causes.

cultures are to provide a source of animals to
be used as live food for fish and as bioassay test

sociated with the phenomenon of 'air-locking,'
always occurred during handling in the labora-
tory. C. sphaericus was successfully maintained
in relatively dense cultures (approximately
1,000 per liter) using a mixture of dried foods,
less than 37 microns in size. One-fourth of the
standing crop was harvested each week
without apparently reducing the production in
the culture. C. sphaericus was recommended
as being best suited for live fish food and as a
bioassay test animal.

The gas sparging technique and a new gas-
sensing electrode were evaluated for the deter-
mination of dissolved molecular hydrogen sul-
fide at environmentally significant concentra-
tions in water. From the sparging experiments
approximate coefficients were obtained for the
distribution of hydrogen sulfide between
nitrogen and distilled water, seawater, or mu-
nicipal sewage effluent. In the latter medium
the volatility of hydrogen sulfide was very much
less than predicted from the pH-total sulfide
relationship. The electrode, consisting of vari-
ous semipermeable membranes, buffered elec-
trolyte filling solution, silver-silver sulfide
crystal sensor, and lanthanum fluoride internal
reference electrode, gave a generally Nernstian
response to more than 0.1 mg/l of molecular
hydrogen sulfide. Various sources of the
anomalous behavior were considered. The
electrode is recommended for in situ measure-
ments of molecular hydrogen sulfide at con-
centrations greater than 0.1 mg/l. More work is
needed to make it useful at lower concentra-
tions.

making process. A survey was made of the
literature in the United States and Europe per-
taining to handling, reclaiming, and utilizing
the collected dust. Abstracts of 71 references
are included in the Appendix. Acid neutraliza-

valuable for application to farmland, and the

could consume all of the waste dust that is now
being discarded.

the principal provisions of the proposed Toxic
Substances Control Act (S.776). The annual
direct costs are estimated to be between $78.5

Field and laboratory research was conducted to
determine the effects of irrigation management
and fertilizer use upon the quality and quantity
of irrigation return flow. The total seasonal
discharge of slats from the tile drainage system
was directly related to the quantity of water
discharged, because the solute concentration
of the ground water was essentially constant
over time. Under such conditions, reduction of
salt content of return flow is accomplished by
reduced drain discharge. Irrigation manage-
ment for salinity control must be practiced on a
major part of a particular hydrologic unit so that
benefits are not negated by practices in adjoin-
ing areas. Field studies and computer models
showed that salts may be stored in the zone
above the water table over periods of several
years without adversely affecting crop yields on
soils with high 'buffering' capacity as encoun-
tered in this study. However, over the long term,
salt balance must be obtained. Appreciable
amounts of nitrate moved into drainage water
at depths of at least 106 cm from the applica-
tions of commercial fertilizer and dairy manure
to ground surface. Submergence of tile drains
in the field reduced nitrate concentrations in
the effluent, especially under heavy manure ap-
plications.

stalled and operated in a separate tank to
further clarify the effluent from the primary

removals of well over 99% were achieved with a
single primary strainer operating in the pilot
plant aerator with a mixed liquor suspended
solids concentration of over 6,500 mg/l. When
operated at lower specific flow rates, primary
straining appears to be capable of consistently
producing an effluent suspended solids in the
15-30 mg/1 range. Present economic predic-
tions indicate that plants equipped with primary
and secondary dynamic strainers would cost
more than plants utilizing conventional secon-
dary gravity clarifiers. This factor can be tem-
pered by several projected dynamic straining
advantages. Two-stage dynamic straining has
excellent application where space limitations
exist. Secondary gravity clarifiers could be
eliminated under trie right conditions and aera-

with the higher MLVSS concentrations achieva-

ysis of storm runoff events on real basins vary-

based on applying unit hydrographs to
precipitations of various frequencies after
deducting infiltration and retention. A concur-

model provided additional understanding of the
effects Of some parameters. The unit hydro-
graph-infiltration capacity concept was
selected as the most accurate practical method
for predicting storm runoff. It was found that
the form of the unit hydrograph could be re-
lated to drainage basin size and degree of ur-
banization as measured by population density.
Other characteristics of the drainage basin are
much less important.

The removal of 75 to 84% of nitrogen from pri-

in a single stage activated sludge process
(30,000 to 50,000 gpd) at the EPA-DC pilot plant
in Washington, D. C., without the use of supple-
mental organic carbon. The removal was
achieved in a two pass biological reactor in
which the dissolved oxygen concentration was
varied from 0 to 2 to 3 mg/1. The air from the
blower was applied on a 30-min cycle, first to
one reactor pass then to the other pass.
Mechanical mixers suspended the mixed liquor
solids when the air was not applied to the pass.
At a flow measurement ratio of 0.1 gm
BOD5/day/gm mixed liquor volatile suspended
solids, a mixed culture of carbonaceous (BODS
removal), nitrifying and denitrifying organisms
developed and essentially complete nitrifica-
tion was achieved. With the dissolved oxygen at
two or above, the nitrification readily occurred.
When the dissolved oxygen decreased to near
zero, denitrification occurred.

the approximate order of severity are:
discharge of effluent from septic tanks and

The purpose of the study was to identify poten-
tial water quality problems associated with ru-
noff and percolation through mine spoils at
selected sites in the Upper Colorado River
Basin. The results show that the production of
soluble salts from mine spoils into receiving
waters is probably the most significant water
quality problem that can be expected. No sig-
nificant release of heavy metals was observed
in the coal mine spoils studied. Some signifi-
cant heavy metal concentrations were observed
in the stream below the tailings disposal area
from a copper-lead-zinc mill. A portion of these
metals are contributed by the tailings, but a
variety of old mines and mine dumps also make
a contribution. The quality of percolate and ru-
noff from spoils was found to correspond to the
constituents of extracts prepared from satu-
rated pastes of the spoil material. A method of
estimating salt production into receiving waters
was derived and found to agree very well with
measured salt pickup at one coal site. The
minimum quantities of salts that will eventually
be released from the spoils studied are esti-
mated.

tion. The annual existing overflow of 2180 cu
ft/acre-inch of rainfall had SS of 50 Ibs/acre-
inch and BODS of 20 Ibs/acre-inch. Treatment
reduced the annual pollution load by 90 per-

The purpose was to investigate some of the
properties of pesticides as they exist in water,
and to determine the effectiveness of several
water treatment processes in the removal of
pesticides from water. Among the pesticides in-
vestigated were malathion. DOT, aldrin, water
treatment processes include aeration, chemical
coagulation, adsorption on activated carbons
and clays, and foam separation. The removal of
pesticides from water by aeration was signifi-
cant. Oieldrin was removed almost 100%, while
aldrin, DDT, and BHC were removed to a lesser
extent- There was no loss of 2,4,5-T and captan
through aeration. Chemical coagulation alone
was ineffective in the removal of pesticides
from water. Of the processes investigated ad-
sorption with activated carbon was the most ef-
fective in removing pesticides from water. The
removals obtained were—malathion near 100%;.

cal research. However, vacillant or extreme cul-
tural conditions are sometimes suspected of
compromising the test animals and. thus.
results of comparative or confirmatory
research. Because exact optimum conditions
for indoor maintenance and cultural of the four
species are not well defined, standarized prac-
tices have been adopted that are intended to
reduce cultural conditions to a common varia-
ble status. Water quality, nutrition, genetic
variation, diseases, fish handling, gross
behaior, and required facilities are discussed.
Well known propagation techniques provide
the basis for the intensive care methods used.
Special emphasis is given to diets, diet prepara-
tion, and residues of pesticides or other con-
taminants in diets and fish.

Tires, which represent only 1.5% of municipal
solid waste, pose a special solid waste problem
because tires are difficult to dispose of by con-
ventional methods. A partial solution to this
problem can be achieved through the reduction
of tire waste. One waste reduction option suita-
ble for this is retreading. The report reviews the
topic areas pertinent to retreading including
the mechanics of tire retreading, the per-
formance of retreaded tires, improving
retreadability, and the economics of retreading.
Based on these topics the report evaluates the
feasibility of requiring the Federal Government
to use retreaded passenger tires. The report
also examines the solid waste and energy
benefits that would be derived by both the
Federal Government and the general public
through the use of retreaded passenger tires.

Treflan and 2,4-D to the bay mussel (Mytilus
edulis) was investigated. Toxic effects were
measured in terms of survival of and byssus-
thread attachment by adults, embryo shell
development, and larval growth and
metamorphosis. The results indicated that
growth was the most sensitive measure of tox-
icity. All the pesticides produced statistically
significant (p =0.05) reductions in larval shell
length after 10 to 20 days of exposure. Relative
to potency, methoxychlor was the most toxic,
and 2,4-D was the least toxic. The effects on
embryo development of delaying the time of
fertilization and of using seawater larval culture
media of various ages also were studied, and
substrate preference by metamorphosing lar-
vae was investigated.

The objective of the work reported is the
development of technology to recycle waste
oils to useful products, without producing un-
desirable wastes. Both crankcase and other
waste oils were studied in the laboratory and in
a 1000 barrel per day vacuum distillation
process operated by National Oil Recovery Cor-
poration in Bayonne, New Jersey. Plant opera-
tions demonstrated that vacuum distillation is a
suitable process for producing fuels from a
wide variety of waste oils. Laboratory and en-
gineering studies showed that the distillate side
product produced from crankcase waste oil
could be catalytically hydrotreated to produce a
lube with good odor, color, and stability
characteristics. Overall, the vacuum distilla-
tion/hydrogen treatment process for re-refining
waste oils holds great promise. The distillation
bottoms, containing high concentrations of
lead and other metals, can be used as a fuel in
secondary lead smelting. Pretreatment and
chemical reduction agents show promise in
refining, but additional laboratory and evalua-
tion work is required.

paper mill effluent for reuse. Preliminary
laboratory studies and cost estimates indicated
that the following treatment sequences should
be investigated in the pilot plant; (1) Primary

of treatment utilizing activated carbon. Un-
bleached pulping effluents typically contain
about 1000 color units, 250 mg/1 TOC, and 250
mg/1 BOO. Reusable water quality as defined in
this study is 100 color units and 100 mg/1 TOC.
The most economical treatment is the
microlime-carbon process that utilizes low
dosages of lime and clarification followed by
carbon adsorption in down-flow granular car-
bon beds. Capital cost for treatment by the
process of 9.6 mgd of unbleached kraft effluent
from an 800-ton-per-day mill was estimated to
be approximately $6.7 millions. Operating
costs, inclusive of capital depreciation, were
extimated to be $0.30 per 1000 gal and $3.58
per pulp-ton, including credit for the reused
water.

A symposium was held to discuss the needs for
radioactivity standards in environmental moni-
toring programs concerned with population
radiation exposure. Papers were presented on
'Status of Decay Schemes,' 'Some Activities
and Needs for AEC Regulatory in the Use of
Radioactivity Standards,' 'Standards for En-
vironmental Studies,' 'Program and Activities of
the Quality Assurance Branch, NERC-Las
Vegas,' 'Activities of Commercial Radionuclide
Producers,' and 'Radionuclide Metrology and
Quality Assurance.' The presentations in-
dicated that numerous radioactivity standards
and aids for correctly using them were availa-
ble. New needs, however, had arisen recently
because lower levels of ambient radioactivity
must be measured by many more groups due to
requirements that population radiation expo-
sure from nuclear power production be as low
as practicable. Based on the presentations and
resulting discussions, the following actions
were recommended: (1) Establish a focal point
for systematically planning activities to meet
cited needs for decay schemes, specific stan-
dards, analytical methods, and quality as-
surance programs: {2) Develop a clear chain of
traceability to the National Bureau of Stan-
dards;. (3) Prepare guides for standardizing
radiation detection and maintaining quality
control; .and (4) Train qualified analysts to ob-
tain satisfactory analytical results.

taining systems—for scale control potential in
limestone wet scrubbers. Additives selected
were Lime Treet; Acrysol A-1, A-3, A-5; Calnox
214 DN; Oarex 40; Dequest 2000; PD-8: sodium
hexametaphosphate; Calgon CL-14; sodium
pyrophosphate; Versenex 80;. Quadrol; and
sodium tripolyphosphate. The kinetics of oxida-
tion of calcium sulfite in clacium car-
bonate/sulfite slurries was studied and com-
pared with the oxidation of sodium sulfite solu-
tions. Rates of oxidation in the calcium system,
found to be proportional to bisulfite ion con-
centration, increased in the presence of solid
calcium sulfite. Therefore the rate of sulfite dis-
solution is a contributing factor to the oxidation
under normal operating conditions. Catipnic
impurities, such as sodium or magnesium,
which can increase bisulfite concentration in
solution in the 5-6 pH range, are expected to
accelerate oxidation.

The report gives results of test work to demon-
strate the effectiveness of hydrocarbon oxida-
tion for reducing emissions from a gasoline
truck loading terminal in Philadelphia, that
pumps about 2 million barrels of gasoline per
year. Major objectives of the program were to
determine control efficiency, to observe opera-
tional characteristics, and to compare this in-
stallation with other known systems. Tests run
during each of the four seasons showed that
the oxidizer safely and efficiently disposes of
99-Si of the vapor it receives, even in extremely
cold weather when the air-gasoline vapor mix-
ture is in the flammable range. Initially, a large
portion of the vapor from the trucks was not
reaching the oxidizer, primarily because of
blockage caused by liquid carryover to the
vapor collection system. After this was cor-
rected, collection and disposal of the vapor ex-
ceeded 90%. High efficiency and low flame tem-
peratures of the oxidizer limit formation of
emissions.

and collection efficiency at three flow rates, two
temperatures, two dust loading levels, and for
two different dusts. Higher efficiencies were
fostered by; lower flow rate, lower inlet tem-
perature and higher mass loading. The collec-
tion efficiency of the Dynactor was not substan-
tially different from that expected for a well-
designed venturi scrubber operating at the
same power level and air flow rate. As with
other scrubbers of similar power consumption,
collection efficiency decreased sharply for fine
particles smaller than 1 micrometer

for plastics in municipal refuse up to the year
2000 is expected to be insignificant. Air pollu-

Chromium is a major pollutant in wastewaters
from some electroplating operation. It can be
effectively removed from rinse waters by ad-
sorption on activated carbon, which must be
regenerated when saturated with chromium to
its upper limit. This study was concerned with
the best means of regenerating the carbon
under conditions which would return it as
closely as possible to its original adsorptive
capacity. The tests were conducted (1) on a
laboratory scale to determine Ihe effects of
basic and acidic media on regeneration of
chromium-loaded activated carbon and (2) in a
small pilot plant unit on the basis of the best
results of the laboratory-scale work. In the latter
case, tests were conducted on the unit opera-
tion for eight adsorptipn-desorption cycles. The
overall results of this study suggest that a
chromium removal unit could be installed in
many of the small plating plants, relieving the
burden on municipal sewage systems, and
bringing the plating plant into compliance with
local and Federal regulations.

A program was instituted to study the feasibility
of treating, controlling and monitoring spills of
hazardous materials. Emphasis was placed on
considering techniques and equipment which
would be applicable to general classes of
chemicals rather than to specific hazardous
polluting substances. Several methods were in-
vestigated and found to be promising for
removing or detoxifying spills of hazardous
chemicals 'in situ'. These included: the use of
sodium suitide as a precipitating agent for spills
of heavy metal ion solutions; the use of ac-
tivated carbon packaged in porous fiber bags
(carbon 'tea bags') for adsorbing a wide variety
of soluble organic chemicals: and the use of
various acids or bases to neutralize spill.
Methods were studied to control spills on land
and prevent their contaminating nearby surface
or ground water. To this end, a four-component
'universal gelling agent' was developed to im-
mobilize a spilled liquid. A 'cyclic colorimeter',
a novel heavy metal ion detector, was perfected
and laboratory tested, and a detection kit capa-
ble of sensing several chemicals was
developed. A computer model was developed
and refined to simulate the spread of a spill
when certain stream parameters and material
characteristics are known. Bioassay studies
were conducted for several chemicals using at
least three species of biota. In addition, bioas-
says were conducted to estimate the environ-
mental effect of each of the various treatment
methods developed.

This study analyzes the environmental impact
of using sanitary landfills for disposing of solid
waste. The relevant economic theory con-
cerned with the measurement and valuation of
external effects is developed and previous em-
pirical impacts of various activities are
reviewed. Both the theoretical and empirical
evidence suggests that the costs and benefits
of external effects are extremely difficult to
measure directly but under certain circum-
stances property value studies can be used to
obtain indirect estimates. A survey of the
technology of sanitary landfills suggests that a
properly designed fill will cause very little air
and water pollution, but may impose visual and
noise pollution on nearby residents. These
hypotheses are tested with data on property
surrounding four sanitary landfills in Los An-
geles County. A model of the determinants of
residential property values is formulated and
estimated.

Charleston. S.C., along with some other cities

has an anomalously high incidence of deaths
resulting from lung cancer-about 50 percent
higher than* the ' national average.
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and trace metals are
widely suspected of being causative agents in
lung cancer. A survey of BaP and trace metals
in the ambient air in Charleston reveals, how-
ever, that the air concentrations are lower than
the national averages. To test the view that at-
mospheric concentrations of BaP can readily
be inferred from soil concentrations, soil sam-
ples were taken in Charleston at sites roughly
corresponding to the area in which air was sub-
ject to testing in the air sampling program.
From the limited data available, the Charleston
soil values of BaP do not appear extraordinarily
high. Thus, it seems safe to inter that the abnor-
mally high death rate resulting from lung
cancer is not due to higher-than normal expo-
sure to the agents addressed.

review the literature and analyze research
needs on the effects of land application of
animal waste. An additional purpose was to as-
semble published information on application
guidelines for animal waste. Included in this re-
port are information on the characteristics of
waste, effects of waste on soil and water near
application sites, application rates, application
techniques, and research needs. This report is
organized into six main topics: Climate, waste,
and soil classification; waste composition; ef-
fect of waste on the environment; application
rates based on waste constituents; application
techniques; and research needs. The climate,
waste, and soil classification systems were
developed to allow comparison of the effects of
animal waste applications on land in various
parts of the country. The composition of the
waste in each climate was tabulated and values
compared. Comparisons between climatic re-
gions were not possible because the large
variability within regions. Because of this varia-
bility no average composition for a given waste
in a given climatic region was possible. The ef-
fect of the waste on the environment was mea-
sured in terms of the possible final disposition
of the waste constituents. These constituents
could accumulate in the soil, move to the
groundwater, runoff the soil surface, or be
taken up by plants. Attempts were made to as-
semble application guidelines from the various
parts of the country.

A prototype passive infrared sensor for the
measurement of sulfur dioxide emissions from
stationary sources is described. The infrared
radiation emitted by gases in a plume originat-
ing from smokestacks may be detected, and
from this the SO2 concentration in the plume
may be determined. In general, the radiation
received by the sensor is a function of the inter-
vening and background atmosphere. Thus, the
problem of quantitative measurements is
generally complex. A technique is described,
based upon the principle of Gas Filter Correla-
tion, which minimizes these effects. This report
presents a detailed description of the sensor, its
specifications, and performance charac-
teristics. The results of field testing at both oil
and coal-burning power plants are compared
with extractive sample data. In general, the
remote measurements agree with the extractive
data within -tor - 25 percent over SO2 concen-
trations ranging from 150ppm to ISOOppm from
slant ranges of 130 to 400 m.

A study of the lower Genesse River in Monroe
County, New York was conducted to investigate
the impact of pollution sources, both point and
non-point, on the water quality of the Genesee
River. It was determined that four major point-
source discharges have a significant effect on
the dissolved oxygen levels present in the
River: (1) Oatka Creek. (2) Gates-Chili-Ogden
Sewage Treatment Plant. (3) N.Y.S. Barge
Canal, and (4) Kodak Wastewater Treatment
Plant. Three other factors of a non-point source
nature affect the dissolved oxygen levels in the
River: (1) Non-point source contributions from
agricultural, forested, and pasture lands in the
upstream regions, (2) benthic demand in the
lower region in the vicinity of the mouth, and (3)
horizontal dispersion effects in the lower re-
gion. . .

The study was based on the evaluation of
operations at three airports-Los Angeles Inter-

mary noise reduction alternatives were applied
at each of the facilities for the 1987 and 2000
time periods. Secondary abatement alternatives
were evaluated for 1987 only. The effectiveness
of the various alternatives was measured in
terms of the total area impacted under the NEF
30 and 40 coontours at the three airports. This
area was then increased by a constant factor to
obtain an estimate of the impact at the national
level. The report also contains an estimate of
the total area within the NEF 20 contours and
the impacted land area for NEF 20, 30, and 40

This investigation was concerned with the
evaluation of probe performance as a function
of geometry, mean gas velocity, probe angle of
attack with respect to the flow, and extraction
rate. The performance of the probes was com-
pared using the sampling error determined
from the flow parameters based on a zero-error
assumption at isokinetic sampling conditions.
Isokinetic, or equal velocity sampling, was ac-
complished by using a variable speed wind tun-
nel to obtain the flow field around the probes
and then varying the probe extraction velocity
by connecting the probes to a controllable
vacuum source. Laser instrumentation was
used in this study to confirm the uniformity of
the flow in the test section prior to testing the
probes. Probe nozzles with a sharp-lip, square-
lip, and side opening were tested. In general,
the efficiencies of the probes decreased with
increasing angle of attack.

This report describes a study designed to mea-
sure hemispheric infrared downward-directed
irradiance at the earth's surface and ambient
aerosol concentrations at Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina. A Funk-type net radiome-
ter (with a blackened cavity on the underside)
was used to measure the incident all-wave
energy. From the value obtained, the observed
solar radiation was subtracted to determine the
infrared component. The expected incident in-
frared irradiance was calculated from prevail-
ing atmospheric conditions. Six methods were
used for these calculations: four empirical
equations based on surface conditions, the
Yamamoto chart, and a radiative transfer pro-
gram using vertical profiles of temperature and
moisture. The observed-minus-calculated
downwelling irradiances were then compared
to concurrent measurements of turbidity ob-
tained with a Volz sunphotometer, nephelome-
ter-indicated atmospheric extinction coeffi-
cient, and a relative humidity. These measure-
ments were analyzed by least-squares regres-
sion to determine the extent to which incident
hemispheric infrared radiation is affected by
varying amounts of atmospheric aerosols and
relative humidity.

This study was made to evaluate the potential
for environmental contamination by hex-
achlorobenzene and hexachlorobutadiene. In-
formation acquisition and evaluation activities
were designed to identify proven or potential
sources of HCB and HCBD and the environ-
mental and health effects of these substances.
In addition to HCB and HCBD. this study in-
cluded 21 other domestically produced chemi-
cals which were either known sources of HCB
and/or HCBD or theoretically capable of
generating these substances as by-products,
waste materials, or impurities in a commercial
product. The scope of the study for each of
these chemicals included identification of
production sites and volumes, descriptions of
manufacturing processes and environmental
and health aspects, description of waste
disposal methods, and identification of com-
mercial uses for these products. An important
goal was the recommendation of specific plant
sites that should be monitored by EPA to deter-
mine if they were sources of significant
discharges or emissions of HCB and/or HCBD
into the environment.

vinyl chloride in the atmosphere. Samples were
obtained in a residential area adjacent to the
chemical plants where vinyl chloride emissions
were suspected, in areas around the plants, and
in other areas of Niagara Falls. The highest con-
centration of vinyl chloride measured was 40
ppb for a 5-hour integrated sample observed at
a residential area two blocks east of a vinyl
chloride polymerization plant Grab samples
taken downwind of chemical plants exhibited a
high of 28 ppb. Samples taken from downtown
Niagara Falls and upwind north of the chemical
plants contained no detectable vinyl chloride.
The areas surrounding the chemical plants, in-
cluding the adjacent residential areas, are also
affected by emissions into the atmosphere of
chlorine and other halogenated compounds as
exhibited by the deterioration of metal surfaces.

This report reviews and evaluates the present
state of techniques which have been used to
determine the environmental persistence
(biological, chemical and photochemical
degradation) and routes of degradation of
chemicals released in the environment by
human activities. The techniques that were
identified were reviewed and then evaluated for
their ability to simulate natural environmental
conditions, convenience of procedure, time
requirements, necessary equipment and
reproducibility. The ultimate evaluation was
based on how well the methods have worked
with well-known environmental contaminants.
A Cost analysis of the test methods was un-
dertaken to determine the feasibility of com-
prehensive screening of chemicals for environ-
mental persistence. A relationship between
chemical structure and environmental per-
sistence is presented and some theoretical
grounds for such correlations are discussed.
An Attempt has been made to categorize
chemicals for their suitability to various test
methods based on consideration of
physiochemical properties, toxicity, environ-
mental release factors and commercial
economic factors.

As an alternative to loading graphs, a graph of
mean influent phosphorus concentration ver-
sus phosphorus retention capacity is proposed
to express the relationship between
phosphorus supply and hydraulic flow to, and
resultant trophic state of, lakes. Lines of con-
stant lake phosphorus concentration drawn on
the proposed graph delineate predicated
trophic states and changes caused by altering
influent phosphorus concentrations and/or
lake phosphorus retention capacity. The graph,
derived from the steady state solution of a
phosphorus mass balance model, expresses
lake mean phosphorus concentration as a func-
tion of mean influent phosphorus concentra-
tion and phosphorus retention capacity.
Because the mean influent phosphorus con-
centration is a potential lake concentration
reduced by the lake phosphorus retention
capacity, a determination of the latter is critical
for predicting lake phosphorus concentrations
several empirical expressions are developed for
oligtrophic lakes relating phosphorus retention
capacity to areal hydraulic load or hydraulic
washout coefficient. These expressions can be
used to predict average lake phosphorus con-
centrations from mean influent concentrations.

The report gives results of an exact elemental
balance study of the Solvent Refined Coal
(SRC) process that was conducted with the
Laboratory reactor to determine the fate of sul-
fur and nitrogen in the SRC process. The work
was performed in late 1972 as part of a normal
experiment with Kentucky No. 9 high volatile B
bituminouius coal and a blend of processed
anthracene oils under 1000 psig hydrogen pres-
sure. A variety of technique studies had been
made in preparation, such as investigation of
the effects of sample size on analysis and
methods of handling all samples of input and
output material for maximum recovery and
representative composition. Accounting for
carbon and hydrogen was accurate, for sulfur
good, and for nitrogen poor. A detailed com-
parison of conventional Kjeldahl and Dumas
analytical results for nitrogen in coal and solid
products revealed that input nitrogen is not
fully reported by Kjeldahl and that sample size
affects nitrogen results reported by Dumas.
Nitrogen analysis needs further investigation.
The study forced review of sampling and han-
dling techniques as well, with salutary results in
laboratory work.

The report documents ambient sulfide condi-

system, and presents the results of a study that
demonstrated that the use of air or pure oxygen
were effective in controlling sulfides. The three
techniques used to entrain the gases in the
sewage included injection, U-Tubes, and pres-
sure tanks. Sulfide control was evaluated at
eight separate locations involving lift stations,
force mains, and receiving gravity lines. The en-
trainment techniques studied were not op-
timized. However, odor and corrosion problems
were abated. Preliminary cost data indicated
that air injection into force mains, and the use
of air with the U-Tube were the least costly sul-
fide control measures. This report was sub-
mitted in fulfillment of Project Number 11010

construction of an interceptor sewer line in
King County, Washington to service the Green
River Sewerage Area. The project would result
in the elimination of the discharge, to the Green
River, of inadequately treated wastewaters from
the City of Auburn lagoon system and would be
a segment in the extension of a regional waste-
water collection system providing for (1) the
elimination of wastewater discharges to the
Green River and its tributaries; (2) discon-
tinuance of use of septic tanks in unsuitable
soils in the Green River Sewerage Area; and (3)
the removal of the constraint on growth and
development represented by a lack of adequate
sewer service. Major adverse primary impacts
and mitigative measures are: The construction
corridor passes through easterly margin of one
small area identified as a permanent wetland.
Mitigation of the impact on this area could be
provided. Wastewaters intercepted by the pro-
ject would be treated at Metro's existing secon-
dary treatment plant at Renton. No adverse im-
pacts are anticipated on archaeological, histor-
ical or cultural resources.

the reference method for measurement of
photochemical oxidants as published by the
Environmental Protection Agency in the
Federal Register, April 30. 1971. In the first
phase test, ten collaborators were assembled at
a common site to measure (from a common
source) ambient and ozone supplemented con-
centrations over a range frorn 0 to .510 ppm (O-
1000ug/m). The data were analyzed to derive an
estimate for the precision of the method. Esti-
mates of the standard deviations of the process
for total (ST), between-laboratory (SL) and
within-laboratory (SWL) were derived, as well
as for the lower detectable limit (LDL). The
second phase consisted of a collaborative test
involving eleven laboratories to determine the
accuracy (bias) of the method. Ozone generat-
ing systemsfsynthetic atmosphere) which had
been calibrated by the National Bureau of Stan-
dards were supplied to each collaborator. Five
concentration levels (known to the test
designer) were measured at each laboratory.
Ten laboratories completed the test, and useful
data were supplied by nine laboratories. Over
the range of 0 to .500 parts per million, a syste-
matic negative bias exists in the method. The
upper limit of the 95% confidence interval on
the observed average values of the concentra-
tion levels over all laboratories ranged from 9 to
29 percent below the true values, and the lower
limit varied from 20 to 45 percent below the true
values.

EPA is investigating interface systems for stack
gas conditioning so that various pollutant gas
monitors can be adapted to source monitoring.
One of these systems is the disc diluter. The
system dilutes high concentration stack gases
and conducts them to a point outside the stack
where ambient air monitors can by used to
measure the concentration. The prototype was
designed to (1) provide the necessary dilution
to be compatible with ambient air sampling
devices for SO2 and NOx, (2) reduce the par-
ticulate and water vapor level to values that will
not interfere with the ambient air sampling
devices, and (3) be simple to operate and relia-
ble for long-term sampling programs. The
prototype disc diluter was constructed and
laboratory tested to determine its operating
parameters. Following minor modifications, the
prototype was field tested at a coal-fired elec-
tric generating plant and on a gas-fired steam
generator.

Early in the program to develop a stormwater
TOC (total organic carbon) system, it was
established in report EPA-670/2-74-087 that
continuous on-line TOC was the best method
for the measurement of stormwater pollution
loading. Hardware was assembled that would
process stormwater samples containing high
suspended solids and that would obtain a con-
tinuous signal proportional to the concentra-
tion of TOC in the sample. Synthetic samples of
municipal raw influent charged with primary
sludge were analyzed using the TOC analyzer.
Data were also obtained on actual stormwater
samples collected during storm events at
Boston. Further modifications were made after
these observations. Automatic circuitry
designed to provide turn on, auto-zero, auto-
span and sample line flushing was added to the
hardware, and the system was installed at
Boston Cottage Farm Storage Facility. Auto-
matic continuous analyses were obtained dur-
ing storms on site at the Cottage Farm Storage
Facility.

overall particulate collection efficiency, mea-
surements of a plate-type wet electrostatic
precipitator (ESP) collecting fume from an alu-

higher total outlet mass loadings than did the
Anderson impactors, presumably because of
targe entrained liquor droplets which were cap-
tured by the mass traverse, but not by the sin-
gle-point impactor measurements. The average
minimum collection efficiency in the size range
0.2 to 1.0 micrometer diameter (based on the
Andersen data) was 98.5%. Comparisons
between measured (with Andersen impactors)
and predicted collection efficiencies obtained
from a mathematical model of an ESP indicated
fair agreement in the size range 0.2 to about 1.3
micrometers. For larger particles, the collec-
tion-efficiency/particle-size relationship de-
parted drastically from the expected pattern,
possibly because of liquor carryover from the
electrode irrigation system.

maximum com forage yields, without excessive
accumulation of salt in the soil, were obtained
from waste application rates necessary to meet
nitrogen fertilizer recommendations. At these

water into the soil was increased. Net income
from irrigated corn production was sufficient to
make application of feedlot manure with

The report proposes an ecologically responsi-

regional and, to an extent, state governments.
Referred to as LUDMS, it is based on conclu-
sions that local governments have not dealt ef-
fectively with land use problems because tradi-
tional planning and land use control devices
are unecological, unresponsive and unsyste-
matic. The fundamental premise of LUDMS is
that environmentally responsible land use
planning and control must be based on valid
ecological information combined with en-
lightened and informed public opinion. LUDMS
makes use of several basic concepts, including
policy planning (a process for combining public
opinion with scientific and technical informa-
tion to create community policies); use of an in-
terdisciplinary team; public participation; an
environmental resources inventory and analy-
sis; a staff which understands and can commu-
nicate about ecology; legal devices for land use
control;. and positive community programs.
'Model' state and local codes for implementing
LUDMS are provided.

This report presents the results of a study to as-
sess the costs and attendant benefits/penalties
to quiet portable air compressors. The report
indicates that a mean list price of $43.32 per
cfm is required to quiet gasoline-engine
powered compressor models to 76 dBA at 7 m
(per the ISO 2151-1972 test procedure). Cor-
responding figures for diesel-engine driven
units are 76 dBA at $52.11 per cfm for those
delivering 500 cfm or less and 78 dBA at $48.70
per cfm for those delivering more than 500 cfm.
Lower noise levels and higher prices are
similarly determined for the 'quietest' decile.
Noise reduction to achieve the sound pressure
levels of the present average quieted machine,
the quietest decile, and levels below the
quietest is accomplished for each regimen by
the use of three overlapping technologies:
sound insulation, sophisticated sound insula-
tion and vibration isolation, and noise source
elimination such as fan redesign and alternative
engine designs.

The character and magnitude of compressor
noise, the technology and cost of quieting com-
pressors, the validity of manufacturers' data,
and propagation of compressor noise in the
community are examined in this report. It is
found that the noise radiated by portable air
compressors is typically nondirective
(especially by the quieted compressors). The
propagation of air compressor noise in the
community is best summarized in terms of con-
struction-site geometry. Quieting air compres-
sors alone will not significantly reduce total
noise at construction sites. Comparison of 20
construction-site models shows the maximum
reduction of total site noise to be less than 2 dB
when the air compressor is quieted by 10 dB.
Quieting portable air compressors to 76 or 78
dBA (at 7 m) will not alter the operational per-
formance of the machine, if correct design
techniques are used. Based on analytical
analyses using present noise control technolo-
gy, it is concluded that quieting air compres-
sors to 65 dBA at 7 m is feasible.

The residue from the burning of coal, collected
from the stack effluent and the bottom of the
boiler unit, is another solid waste disposal
product that the community must be concerned
with. Since 1940 more than 300 million tons of
this coal ash has been generated, of which only
about 30% has been utilized. In this study the
nature of coal ash has been defined, the quanti-
ties produced have been determined and loca-
tions of the major utilities generating the coal
ash changes and quantities to be generated in
the future resulting, from expanded energy
requirements, advancements in technology and
pollution controls have been evaluated. This
study also included a review of current disposal
and utilization practices.

Seafood processing constitutes one of Alaska's
major industries and is also one of the major
waste sources in the coastal areas. Waste quan-
tities from seafood processing range from 30-
80% of the weight of raw product. In most
cases, these wastes are discharged directly to
adjacent receiving waters with little or no treat-
ment. In recent years concern has risen over the
possible adverse environmental effects from
these, operations. Concentrations of seafood
processing activities such as that found at
Kodiak have produced severe water quality
degradation. The survey obtained information
of seafood waste quantities and methods of
waste disposal, and made visual observations
of environmental effects resulting from waste
disposal.

In an earlier project a process was developed
on a small scale for precipitating carbox-
ymethyl cellulose (CMC) from desizing waste-
water with filter alum and recovering and dis-
solving the precipitate to give a solution suita-
ble for reuse in sizing warp yarns. More exten-
sive recovery trials have now been made on
plant desizing wastewater to give sufficient
material for weaving trials and for developing a
practical procedure for size recovery. Weaving
trials using warp yarns sized with CMC
recovered from plant desizing wastewater were
as satisfactory as those using warps sized with
new CMC. Desizing and dyeing the woven
fabrics showed no difference in hand and
shade that could be attributed to the recovered
CMC. The yarns w'ere blends of polyester and
cotton (65:35) and polyester and rayon (65:35).
Sufficient dewatering of the precipitated CMC -
to ten percent solids or higher was accom-
plished by centrifuging or by the use of a Dual
Cell Gravity (DCG) unit (Permutit Co.) alone or,
preferably, in combination with a Multi-Roll
Press unit.

The possible use of gamma radiation for the
treatment of waste effluents containing
chlorinated hydrocarbons, particularly pesti-
cides, has been investigated. Significant
destruction was obtained of representative
compounds such as pentachlorophenol, 2,4,5-
trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 2,4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Radiation treat-
ment had little effect on polychlorinated
biphenyls or mixtures of compounds, including
actual manufacturing effluents. It was found
that the addition of a material of high atomic
weight, such as barium, increased the efficien-
cy of radiation utilization. No other materials
were found which increased the desired
destruction. G-values were calculated for pen-
tachlorophenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic
acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. It is
concluded from the magnitude of these values
that radiation treatment of chlorinated
hydrocarbons is not economically feasible at
the present level of radiation costs.

processed 172 million gallons of water, and
removed 408,000 pounds of COD. The carbon
was exhausted at the rate of 9.5 pounds per
1000 gallons of water processed. At an average
feed COD concentration of 250 ppm and an
average effluent COD concentration of 50 ppm,
the carbon was loaded to an average of 0.26
pounds of COD per pound of carbon. Following
solution of initial startup problems, the unit was
operated at a cost of 40 cents per 1000 gallons
of water treated, or 18 cents per pound of COD
removed.

The report gives results of a survey of the wet
limestone flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system
at the La Cygne Station of Kansas City Power
and Light Co. and Kansas Gas and Electric Co.
The FGD system was built integral with the
electric power generating facility. The system
consists of seven modules for paniculate and
SO2 removal, with on-site limestone grinding
and storage facilities. Since there is no provi-
sion for bypassing flue gas around the FDG
modules, all flue gases are treated. Several
modifications have been made since system
start-up in February 1973. A particulate removal
efficiency of 97-99% has been reported. SO2
removal efficiency ranges between 70 and 83%.
The spent limestone slurry is discharged to a
160 acre pond, and water from the pond is recy-
cled. The initial installed capital cost of the FGD
system was $34 million or $41/KW (based on a
net rated capacity of 820 MW) in 1973. Sub-
sequent modifications increased the cost to
about $45 million or $55 KW. Estimated operat-
ing and maintenance cost, including limestone,
are 1.79 mills/KWH, not including capital
charges.

The objective of this study was to investigate
the use of ionic and neutral polymeric resins to
remove and recover textile dye wastes before
such wastes are fed into rivers and streams. Ini-
tially, synthetic azo-dyes with various func-
tional groups were used that would represent a
broad spectrum of textile dyes. Then, various
types of actual plant dyes waste, which in-
cluded all the additives, were investigated.
These dye wastes consisted of direct, acid,
basic, vat and dispersed dyes. They were
screened against various commercially availa-
ble ionic and neutral resins to see which resin
or resin combination would remove them most
efficiently. The data obtained in this investiga-
tion indicate that all except dispersed dyes
could be removed to give a colorless effluent.
Therefore, considerable investigation was
focused on dispersed dyes. The complete color
removal of dispersed dyes was accomplished
with a neutral resin column followed by a weak
base column.

in the form of dehydrated or frozen products
has occurred concomitantly with an increased

Although biologic decomposition and stabiliza-

can be accomplished by several well-
established practices, a system of peeling
which yields wastes of lower concentration and
less liquid volume has obvious advantages. Ad-
ditionally, since potato wastes are acceptable
as feeds for livestock, the system devised
should allow maximum recovery of these

This paper deals with problems of measure-
ment and interpretation of rainfall acidity in
terms of effects on the soil-plant system. The
theory of the carbon dioxide-bicarbonate
equilibria and its effect on rainfall acidity is
given. The relationship of a cation-ancon
balance model of acidity in rainfall to plant
nutrient uptake processes is discussed, along
with its relationship to a model previously
proposed in the literature. Average H(4 con-
centration calculated from pH measurements
does not appear to be a satisfactory method of
determining H(+ loading from rainfall if the
rain is not consistently acid. Calculating load-
ing from H(t minus HCO3(-), strong acid
anions minus basic cations, or net titratable
acidity is suggested. The flux of H(-f ions due
to plant uptake processes and sulfur and
nitrogen cycling is considered. H(-} is
produced by oxidation of reduced sulfur and
nitrogen compounds mineralized during
decomposition of organic matter. The soil
acidifying potential due to the oxidation of the
NH4(-| in rainfall is apparently of a similar
magnitude to the direct acidity inputs.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the
potential importance of gas-solid interactions
in polluted atmospheres. Model calculations
that employed collision theory, transition state
theory, and data from the catalysis literature
were used to determine the conditions under
which the heterogeneous processes could
compete with homogeneous gas phase reac-
tions known to be important. Laboratory ex-
periments were conducted with simulated at-
mospheres to determine whether or not the
theoretically derived criteria could be met
under ambient conditions. Among the gases
studied were NO2, NO, O3, CO. The selection of
the solids used in these studies was based on
their abundance in polluted atmospheres, as
well as on their known catalytic activity. Evalua-
tion of the experimental results leads us to con-
clude that heterogeneous decomposition of
NO2 and O3, as well as heterogeneous oxida-
tion of CO, can be important atmospheric
processes. Results from experiments con-
ducted in the presence of moisture indicate that
water does not poison catalytic activity. It was
found that heterogeneous processes that in-
volve NO are not likely to compete with gas
phase reactions.

result of recently initiated controls. However,
long thought to be primarily an urban problem,
oxidant levels well in excess of the standard
have been observed in broad areas in the east-
ern third of the U.S. Although naturally occur-
ing sources such as vegetation and the strato-
sphere do contribute to these high levels, man's
activity is their predominant cause. Instances
are noted in which oxidants and their precursor
compounds have been carried up to 50 miles.

oxidant-producing compounds will be required
in rural areas while emphasis continues to be
placed on control in the cities.

The role of cadmium (and its compounds) in the
environment and in the economy of the United
States was studied, to evaluate the need for and
the projected effect of controlling its produc-
tion, use and dissipation. Technologically and
economically feasible control alternatives were
developed from: (1) A systematic documenta-
tion of cadmium production, uses, prevalence,
and sources of pollution; and (2) An evaluation
of the present and projected health hazards.
Available information was then used to directly
compare and optimize the various alternatives.
The results led to two sets of recommended
controls. The first, aimed at preventing in-
creases in the present cadmium health hazards,
consists of continued air and water pollution
abatement. environmentally-sound land
disposal of industrial wastes and residuals, and
regulation of application rates to agricultural
lands of cadmium-bearing materials. The
second set of controls exhibits a more aggres-
sive posture towards limiting cadmium dissipa-
tion, which could be implemented in the future
should a more precise definition of the health
hazard justify such a posture.

This report presents the development of a

problems of solid waste generation and control.
A benefit measure is developed and recom-
mended for use in evaluating solid waste
management policy decisions. The benefit
measure incorporates the consumers' surplus
approximation to welfare loss, changes in
firms' profits and government revenues, and
costs of solid waste disposal. The benefit mea-
sure is used to develop a series of taxation
(taxes may be negative) models for the purpose
of control of the solid waste stream. The models
produce taxes which lead to the benefit max-
imizing solid waste levels. The models include
substitutions! possibilities in production and
consumption and use market observable func-
tions as their base. A property rights system is
examined and it is concluded that such a
system has no advantages over the taxation of
solid wastes. Economic incentives for en-
couraging forth supplies of recyclable materials
are examined. It is concluded that the collateral
policies of solid waste taxation and the sub-
sidization of suppliers of recyclable materials
provide highly workable management tools for
the purposes of solid waste control and
recycling encouragement.

A study of selected sulfur dioxide sources in
Wisconsin was conducted at the request of the
Enforcement Division of EPA Region V. The
work done consisted of making a selection of
the SO2 sources to be studied, collecting and
verifying the emissions data, processing the
meteorological data, using computer models to
compute the ground-level concentrations of
SO2, and finally analyzing the computer model
output. The 55 plants initially selected for study
were based on the quantity of the annual
average SO2 emission. Preliminary modeling
provided the basis for making the decision as to
whether to do detailed modeling for each plant;
detailed modeling, which provided the com-
puted SO2 concentrations at many locations in
the vicinity of each plant, was done for 34
sources, mostly power plants and paper mills.
The results of the model computations indicate
that air quality standards are expected to be ex-
ceeded on numerous occasions due to SO2
emissions from 7 of the 34 modeled cases. In 10
other cases, either ambient concentrations may
exceed the standards on less frequent occa-
sions, or the modeling technique does not pro-
vide a reliable basis for judgment. For the
remaining plants, the resulting SO2 concentra-
tions would be expected to remain well below
the applicable standards. Other aspects of the
study include: a limited model validation analy-
sis which gave satisfactory results; preliminary
study of the interactive effects of plumes from
contiguous plants; and recommendations for
further study of the uncertain cases mentioned
above, and for cases of multiple contiguous
plants.

A mobile air pollution research laboratory
described in this report, has been designed and
constructed into a semi-trailer shell. The
laboratory will be used by EPA for making
simultaneous measurements of many air pollu-

semi-trailer with an air suspension system was
chosen as the basic vehicle. Electrical service
of 400 amperes at 230 volts (half for air condi-
tioning) was installed into the trailer. The 3
work benches for aerosol, gas, and data instru-
ments, were arranged as islands allowing open
aisle space and the clustering of sampling in-
struments for reduction of sampling losses. The
roof is covered with catwalk material which
facilitates the fastening of equipment. Under-
compartments contain necessary sampling
pumps and blowers and serve as storage com-
partments. Twin electrical main service cables
connect to an external electrical service pole
for 115/230 VAC power.

The objective of this research program is to ob-

the role of primary auto-exhaust aerosol in the
subsequent formation of photochemical
aerosol and to determine what relationships if
any might exist between photochemical-
aerosol formation and eye irritation. In pursuing
the objective, experiments were conducted in
which synthetic hydrocarbon-NOX-air mixtures
and automobile exhaust-air mixtures were ir-
radiated in a 610-cu ft smog chamber. Empha-
sis was placed on strict control of all experi-
mental parameters, on complete detailed
analyses of the formation of photochemical
aerosols and on the chemistry associated with
the formation of other photochemical-smog
manifestations, including eye irritation. In addi-
tion to obtaining data pertinent to the stated
objectives, data were obtained which revealed
chemical mechanisms important in aerosol for-
mation and physical mechanisms accounting
for losses of aerosols in smog chambers.
Among the topics discussed are the experimen-
tal results related to the following: (1) Aerosol
formation and eye irritation: (2) Mechanisms of
aerosol formation in smog and; (3) Influence of
primary auto exhaust aerosols on development
of secondary aerosols. Automotive exhaust
generation and sampling are described as are

Although the governing equations for moist
plumes are presented, the final working equa-
tions are for dry plumes only. Techniques are
used that allow fora gradual merging of plumes
without a discontinuity in the calculation of
plume properties. Entrainment techneques that"
include the interference of unmerged plumes
and the reduction of entrainment surfaces after
merging are presented. The entrainment ex-
pression includes coefficients that need to be
determined by tuning the model with experi-

The study addresses a number of issues of con-
cern under various sectors of man's environ-
ment. For each issue three types of available in-
formation are compiled: (1) public laws and
other less formal understandings that set
minimum standards, (2) objective data that
reflect how well those standards are being met,
and (3) subjective daU " at reflect how people
feel about that aspect 01 the quality of their life.
Man's needs are grouped into two major areas-
-(1) basic needs, including minimal life condi-
tions necessary to meet* physiological and
security needs, and (2) higher needs, to include
social needs, ego needs, and a need tor self-ful-
fillment. Standards are being categorized under
each major heed area, according to four levels
of concern, arranged in a heirarchical order:
First, the existing welfare concern—a statement
of the threshold level; .second, security—stan-
dards insuring the welfare for all persons; and
finally, ability to influence—standards that allow
individuals to influence threshold levels and
their own access to welfare.

An initial analysis of the economic impact of
proposed water effluent guidelines upon the or-

2818/2869) was performed based on abatement
cost data supplied by the EPA, In view of limited
cost data available, the impact was based on
best practicable control technology currently
available. On this basis, with 75% coverage of
the industry, the following specific chemicals
appear to face significant water pollution con-
trol problems: ethylene glycol. caprolactam.
methanol, acetic acid, acetone, phenol, aniline,
coal tar products, ethyl cellulose, dyes and pig-
ments, and unformulated pesticides. Ex-
trapolating to the entire industry, minimum
total annual cost by 1977 would be an estimated
$194 million with the maximum cost $590 mil-
lion. On the basis of maximum cost, a very
severe fixed capital requirement of $576 million
per annum over the period 1973-1977 would be
imposed on the industry. This is about 72% of
the 1972 capital investment by the industry. On
the minimum impact basis, prices would rise by
1.6% over the five-year period and profits after
taxes in years of full compliance depressed by
8% below that of the 1972 base year.

This report, which covers inorganic chemical
manufacturing operations, is one of a series of
several which examine land-destined wastes
from selected industries. The inorganic chemi-
cals industry (Standard Industrial Classification
281) in 1972 had a total of 1,067 plants produc-
ing approximately 112 million metric tons of a
wide variety of chemicals. Most of the major
plants of this industry are located in the Eastern
Seaboard States, the Midwest, and the Gulf
Coast States. Approximately 40 million metric
tons (dry basis) of land-destined wastes were
generated by this industry in 1974, of which 2
million metric tons were considered to be
potentially hazardous. Some of the major
potentially hazardous constituents identified in
the waste streams from this industry include:
asbestos, lead, mercury, chlorinated hydrocar-
bons, fluorides, arsenics, and antimony com-
pounds. The most prevalent method of disposal
of potentially hazardous wastes from this in-
dustry is some form of land disposal, with about
85 percent of the wastes deposited in landfills,
lagoons, and dumps.

in the Upper Missouri Basin. Categories
analyzed are: (1) Flood control; (2) potentials of
meeting irrigation demands on Missouri Main
Stem; (3) the adequacy of water to meet coal
development needs; (4) ability to meet water
quality control needs; (5) ability to meet
downstream water supply needs; (6) impact on
navigation; (7) impact on hydroelectric power
generation; (8) impact on fishery resources;
and (9) recreation and environmental impact. It
indicates that there is sufficient water to pro-
vide for coal development; the navigation
season may have to be shortened and that there
would be a reduction in hydroelectric power
generation depending on the amounts of water
used for coal development.

on the shallow ground water systems. Areas
analyzed were in the southeastern portion of
North Dakota, the Gillette area of Wyoming and
the Decker-Birney area of Montana. They were
selected as representative of areas where ac-
celerated coal mining is likely to occur. The
analyses indicates there will be: (1) Localized
disruptions of aquifers; (2) drainage of adjoin-
ing clinker beds; (3) drainage of aquifers in im-
mediate vicinity of mines; (4) underlying
aquifers will be little affected; (5) possible in-
crease in nitrate and sulphate concentrations in
mine waters; and most importantly (6) con-
tamination of the water resource by dissolved
material leached from strip-mining spoils. AM
problems except pollution of ground water
from spoils should be minimal after replace-
ment of spoils and rehabilitation. Ground water
pollution could be long term.

Electrical resistivity is one of the critical
parameters influencing the collectability of fly
ash by electrostatic precipitation. This report
discusses research designed to acquire addi-
tional knowledge about the surface conduction
process. Transference experiments reveaied
that the alkali metal ions serve as charge car-
riers. It was concluded that the attack by certain
environmental species, water and acid, on the
surface of the glassy ash mobilizes the alkali
metal ions. A correlation was established
between the magnitude of maximum surface
resistivity and the concentrations of lithium,
sodium, potassium and iron. The correlation of-
fers a possible means of estimating the re-
sistivity of an ash from the chemical analysis for
a given set of environmental conditions.

ticulate emissions increased due to the forma-
tion of sulfuric acid from exhaust SO2. This sul-

for most of the paniculate emitted. Sulfate was
the only form of sulfur detected in the particu-
late. Substantial differences between oxidation
catalysts in their sulfuric acid formation ten-

The report describes test results from a

The facility consists of three parallel scrubbers-
-a venturi/spray tower, a Turbulent Contact Ab-
sorber (TCA), and a marble-bed absorber—each
able to treat a 10 Mw equivalent (30,000 acfm)
of flue gas from a coal-fired boiler at TVA's
Shawnee Station. Limestone factorial tests
were conducted on all three scrubbers to deter-
mine the effects of the independent variables
on SO2 and particulate removal. Lime and
limestone reliability tests were conducted on
the venturi/spray tower and TCA systems,
respectively, to demonstrate long-term reliabili-
ty, primarily of the mist elimination systems.
The TCA mist elimination system (a Koch Flex-
ttray In series with a chevron mist eliminator)
has remained essentially clean over a 1000 hour
period at a superficial gas velocity of 8.6 ft/sec.
A recent test of the spray tower mist elimination
system (a chevron mist eliminator with provi-
sion for underside and topside washing) at a
superficial gas velocity of 6.7 ft/sec indicated
that long-term operability of this system may be
expected.

This report presents a summary of the modeling
analysis of power plants in a number of critical
AQCR's. The purpose of this study is to deter-
mine whether and to what extent variances
could be granted for certain plants to relieve
the aggregate low-sulfur coal deficit problem
projected for 1975. The variances, if granted.
would allow an extension of time to meet regu-
latory requirements of State Implementation
Plans (SIPs). The total aggregate annual coal
consumption by the 206 power plants included
in the study is 290 million tons. The analysis in-
dicated that the allowable sulfur content of ap-
proximately 145 million tons can be affected by
the application of variances. The major
changes projected are a net decrease of 137
million tons of low-sulfur coal (less than 1.0
percent sulfur), and a net increase of 109 mil-
lion tons with sulfur content greater than 2.0
percent. This study was undertaken prior to the
overall oil shortage and energy crisis arising in
the fall of 1973 and does not address that situa-
tion.

Descriptors: 'Bicycles, Transportation

Some of the findings of the study are the follow-
ing. America is experiencing an unprecedented
boom in bicycle sates and uses. Although there
are advantages to bicycling, major deterrents
are high accident rates, bicycle theft, exposure
to automotive air pollutants, insufficient sup-
port facilities (i.e., lack of bikeways, secure
parking facilities, showers at places of work),
and bad weather conditions. The above
problems could be greatly reduced through
better support facilities, both segregated
bikeways and secure parking arrangements.
The Federal Government is beginning to recog-
nize bicycles as a viable form of transportation.
DOT has allowed states to fund bikeways along
federally funded roads with money from the
highway trust funds. Other significant Federal
agency activities are also underway. Europe is
currently experiencing a resurgence in bicycle
use after a marked decline during the postwar
years. Environmental concerns, urban con-
gestion, and high fuel costs are contributing to
the new bicycle boom. European countries—
particularly Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and
Holland—are actively promoting bicycle trans-
portation by establishing separate rights-of-
way, bicycle traffic lights, and pedestrian malls.
Cyclists in Japan and China also enjoy nice
facilities for bicycle transportation.

degradation of the raw wastes in the ponds and
raceway systems resulted in BOD reductions of
96.8% and 98.0% respectively when compared
to waste levels produced in indoor single pass
tank systems with no waste removal facilities.
Reductions in total nitrogen of 97.2% and
97.7% occurred in ponds and raceways respec-
tively, while ammonia nitrogen was reduced by
97.4% and 99.4% respectively. Sedimentation
and biodegradation resulted in an 83.6% reduc-
tion in suspended solids in ponds and an 86.2%
suspended solids reduction in raceways. Total
phosphate levels were reduced by 98.5% and
97.4% in ponds and raceways respectively.

mine if the present water quality is within the
proposed compliance level (BS-average of 100

conducted on a 13 mile reach of the river during
different flow conditions and different seasons

The basic hypotheses of the Simulation City Ap-
proach is that it is possible to approximate the
detailed input data base required for complex
planning models, given only a relatively gross
description of a specific metropolitan area and
general knowledge of patterns of urban com-
position. This approximation is accomplished
at a substantial reduction in the costs as-
sociated with data preparation and thus
planning models, at relatively little expense in
terms or accuracy. Accuracy is here judged in
terms of the final decision to be made on the
basis of planning model analyses. To the extent
that the hypothesis is valid in a particular appli-
cation, a decision-maker is given the opportu-
nity to ask a range of questions at substantially
reduced cost and time expense. The concept is
first described in general terms, and then sup-
ported by a review of theoretical and empirical
studies which would be valuable in its realiza-
tion. The trade-off between cost and accuracy
in modeling is then more explicitly considered.

tospires in weanling hamsters and salmonella
in turkey poults. Salmonella was transmitted by
aerosols, but leptospires were not. Measure-
ments Of selected microbial aerosols were
made in the vicinity of a field ditch. Bacterial
levels of 100-200 total colony-forming units per
liter of air were associated with the beef cattle
population in the housing unit and not with
aerosols generated by the oxidation ditch treat-
ment system. Studies were made on a model
oxidation ditch simulating the field ditch. The
winter temperature conditions slowed the
degradation process considerably and high dis-
solved oxygen was maintained.

The program objective was to develop and eval-
uate methods for the continuous measurement
of gaseous emissions from stationary sources,
specifically in large or complex ducts where
total flow processing techniques are not practi-
cal. This report is concerned with the measure-
ment of mean gas concentrations in rectangu-
lar ducts. Work consisted of a review of related
programs, development of a computer program
to assess stratification levels and evaluate sam-
pling techniques, formulation and evaluation of
point sampling methods for continuous moni-
toring, development of a multi-port continuous
gas sampling probe, and field demonstration of
hardware and techniques. Results showed that
emissions can be accurately monitored using
as few as one flow sensor and one sampling
probe, even in the presence of significant
velocity and compositional stratification,
although stratification levels were too high for
single point samples to be acceptable. It was
shown for all data examined that good accura-
cy can be attained by taking a spatial concen-
tration average — flow proportional sampling is
not required. The field demonstration verified
the acceptability of the proposed methodology.

Four methods for the measurement of nitrogen
dioxide in ambient air were studied concur-
rently to determine the intramethod and inter-
method comparability of the data generated
under a variety of carefully controlled condi-
tions. Included were two automated continuous
methods (Chemiluminescence and colorimet-
ric) and two manual methods (arsenite and
TGS-ANSA). Simultaneous nitrogen dioxide
measurements were made on a common air
source using duplicate analyzers for each of the
automated methods and quadruplicate samples
for each of the manual methods. The study was
conducted in three phases. Phase I measure-
ments were made on ambient air to which extra
N02 was added in order to provide a wider
range of concentrations. Phase II determined
the effect of variable NO2 concentration fluc-
tuations during a sampling period. Phase III was
an investigation of suspected ozone inter-
ference with the automated continuous
colorimetric method. The results of the study
indicate that the four methods, when properly
used, are capable of producing data that are in
remarkably good agreement except in the case
of the colorimetric method, which yields low
results in the presence of high ozone concen-
trations.

oxygen generation and carbon dioxide and
heat evolution rates are monitored. Using four
microcosms, one acting as a dead control, ex-

results: for 'identically' prepared and incubated
microcosms, the coefficient of variation was as
small as 3.8 percent for carbon dioxide evolu-

adjustment period of seven to ten days after
microcosm preparation was necessary to ap-

were detected indicating the cadmium initially
affects respiration, possibly by uncoupling

Two sampling arrangements that allow four in-

the same point in the stack are described.
These sampling arrangements have been used
to obtain replicate paniculate samples from
stationary sources. Sixteen participate sam-
pling runs that used these sampling arrange-
ments with four identical EPA Method 5 par-
ticulate trains determined that the magnitude of
the within-run standard deviation was linearly
related to the magnitude of the mean panicu-

ever, no such relationship was found between
the within-run standard deviation and either the
run sampling time or the total volume of gas

Throughout the country, there is a vast amount
of source test data which has been compiled in
recent years. Up until now, these data have
been of little use to anyone needing a large
amount of data, because they are stored in so
many different places and formats. The Source
Test Data (SOTDAT) System is a useful solution
to that problem. The SOTDAT System permits
the gathering of source test data from many
places and their storage in a computer-accessi-
ble data bank in a common format. SOTDAT is
designed so that each record describes, in
detail, one run of a stack test. Variables in-
cluded are most of those which enter into the
normal stack test calculations, as well as some
which will be necessary to future users of SOT-
DAT. Information stored in SOTDAT contains an
adequate number of source parameters and
concentrates heavily on data describing a
specific test run. Since each SOTDAT record is
keyed to a record in the National Emissions
Data System (NEDS), any required source
parameters are readily available from a NEDS
listing. An exception to this will exist in the case
where test data are coded anonymously in
order to protect the confidentiality of the data.

The theory of the charging of aerosol particles

laboratory tests were carried out with a variety

response of the contact electricity monitor
tracks well with that of an optical detector. The
total charge correlates well with the gravimetric
mass. Humidity or precharge on the particles
did not influence the detector. Some evidence
was obtained showing that panicle size does
not nave an important effect on the response.
although there is a cutoff for very small parti-

can be grouped according to electrical resistivi-

of the surface of the Inconel probe has a major
effect on the sensitivity. Additional work is
necessary on this aspect of the detector. The

Water quality.
Water quality field studies in the Arctic rapidly
reveal flaws in logistic schemes and equipment
reliability because of severe constraints placed
on all components by the environment. Since
these studies generally require collection of
samples in areas remote from central laborato-
ry facilities, the time lag between sampling and
analysis necessitates the inclusion of field
analyses in the sampling scheme where the
analytes may exhibit rapid change. The
selected scheme includes components of sam-
pling, field processing, shipping and laboratory
analysis which are dependent on both the time
and mode of transportation as well as the
requirements for analytical reliability. Decisions
regarding analytical specification are depen-
dent upon the resources of the investigator,
although in a more immediate sense are a func-
tion of the working environment and available
field instrumentation.

analysis inc.'dded classification and description

ing mechanisms and relationships and financial
profiles of selected model plants. Financial im-
pacts of proposed effluent treatment technolo-
gy were assessed in terms of price, industry
returns, and production volume. Employment.
community impact and international trade ef-
fects were also assessed. Limits of the analysis
were stated. Overall, the proposed controls of
this study (point source category only) will
neither directly nor seriously impact the three
segments studied in the short run. Water ef-
fluent problems of the animal feed segment are
inconsequential and detailed assessments were
not required. Virtually all breakfast cereal and
wheat starch processing plants are connected
to municipal treatment systems and this
minimizes applicability of the proposed
guidelines. The breakfast cereal industry is suf-
ficiently viable to withstand proposed costs for
pollution control facilities if required. However,
the potential impacts of the guidelines on the
wheat starch segment are such that new en-
trants into the industry would not be expected if
private treatment systems were required.

The program was undertaken to establish the
effects and acceptability of a watercraft im-
poundment system in controlling the principal
waste sources, sanitary and galley waste, with
disposal at a shore facility. A demonstration
unit was designed, built, and installed by Elec-
tric Boat on a commercial tugboat, and opera-
tionally tested and evaluated under routine
working conditions for a period of two months.
Results of the test data were analyzed, and
component performance and system effective-
ness were evaluated. Equipment and installa-
tion costs, as well as system operating costs,
were identified. Sea water flushing was used for
the water closets and urinal, but water conser-
vation was used in the form of specially
designed sanitary flush control and galley sink
volume control devices to allow use of relatively
small (120 gallon capacity) holding tank. The
corrosion-resistant tank was provided with a
level sensing system, an odor controlled vent
line, an automatic flushing system, and a high
level alarm. Shore-side transfer of the im-
pounded wastes by suction pump-out of the
tank via a quick-connect deck fitting was
demonstrated. Solid galley waste was stored in
a specially designed trash compactor. All com-
ponents and subsystems performed effectively
and reliably throughout the test phase.

has been developed and a prototype analyzer
based on this method has been built The dif-
ference between the OH emission intensities at
308.9 and 312-2 nm from O-atom/hydrocarbon
reactions near 1 Torr is measured. The other
hydrocarbons tested yield the same spectral
distributions as C2H4; CH4 yields no emission.
Two PMTs are used for 308.9 and 312.2 nm
measurement respectively. When the apparatus
is zeroed, the difference in signal from the two
PMTs is insensitive to C2H2. The relative
response to the individual reactive HC species
can be set to give good agreement with reactivi-
ty ratings. The response to HC mixtures is addi-
tive. CO. CO2. S02. CH4. C2H2 and NOx do not
interfere with instrument response. .A 1%
change in (O2) causes < 1% change in signal;

trends and activity. Primary emphasis was
placed on the environmental trends as gleaned
from EPA, Battelle, Literature, and other
sources. An initial list of problems was com-

each. Nine ranking factors were devised to
select ten 'most serious' problems from the ini-
tial list The factors included: persistence; mo-
bility/pervasiveness; . environmental,
technological, social, and political complexity;.
physiological risk; research needs: and bulk or
volume of the pollutant. The ten problems
selected by this method were further ranked in
order of relative importance. The ten selected
problems in rank order are as follows: (1) Im-
pacts of new energy initiatives; (2) Geophysical
modifications of the earth; (3) Trace element
(metal) contaminants;. (4) Proliferating
hazardous and toxic chemicals: (5) Emissions

The gas-phase room-temperature oxidation of
haloethylenes was studied. In general oxidation
has been carried out in five ways: (1) chlorine
atom initiation, (2) Hg 6(1riplet P) sensitization,
(3) reaction with Oftriplet P), (4) reaction with
O(triplet P) in the presence of O2, and (5) reac-
tion with 03. In the first four systems the major
products are the corresponding carbonyl
chlorides containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms, and
the reaction proceeds by a long-chain free radi-
cal process. With O3 a diradical chain is in-
volved which is inhibited by O2. Free radical at-
tack of CH2CI2 or CH3CI in the presence of 02
gives carbonyl halides, as does the photolysis
of CCI4, CCI3F, and CCI2F2 in the presence of
02 or O3. CCI4 and the chlorofluoromethanes
react with 0(singlet D) via chlorine atom ab-
straction in reactions with large rate coeffi-
cients which are nearly proportional to the
number of chlorine atoms in the
chlorofluoromethane. This research, was un-
dertaken in order to study the reactions of these
compounds in the atmosphere.

Air quality data accumulated since 1965 in-

quality standards have been exceeded in the
Duwamish Basin area of Seattle, Washington.
The objective of the study was to determine the
nature of suspended paniculate and sub-
sequently to quantify the impact of paniculate
sources. Ambient and source paniculate was
collected on fiberglass and membrane filters.
Results from gravimetric, elemental, and com-
pound analyses were combined with
meteorological data for correlation and
analyses. The contribution of sources for the
basin was found to be 27 percent from natural
sources, 39 percent transportation, and 34 per-
cent point industry^and multiple-area sources.
Results from the study show the complexity of
suspended paniculate. Source tests showed a
multitude of elements and compounds present
and, to complicate matters, surrounding soil
has been contaminated by industrial and area
sources. About 35 percent of the paniculate is
directly related to road dust-type emissions.

tive Perceived Noise Level, etc.) and correlated
with respect to distance and aircraft/engine

tive one-third octave band spectra for takeoff
and approach operations at Dulles. A prediction
procedure is presented based upon data mea-
sured at various distances extrapolated to
larger distances by standard methods. The
results of the semiempirical predictions in-
dicate that there is no reason to believe that the
noise levels measured and reported by the Con-
corde developers cannot be achieved with the
use of noise abatement procedures. However,
noise abatement takeoff procedures were not
fully utilized at Dulles and, as a result, the mea-
sured noise levels exceed the values claimed by
the developers.

one of two available diesel fuel additives as well
as by itself. The primary particulate sampling
technique employed was a dilution tunnel; and
secondary evaluation techniques included a
diluter-sampler developed under contract to
EPA by another organization, a light extinction
smokemeter, and a filter-type sampling
smokemeter. Gaseous emissions were also
measured, providing a running check on en-
gine condition. Particulate mass rates were cal-
culated from gravimetric data; and analysis of
paniculate included determination of sulfur,
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phenols,
nitrosamines, trace metals, and organic solu-
bles.

and water hyacinth. The agriculture section
emphasizes the use of wastewater for crop
production and the papers presented include
case histories for long-term operating systems,

The report gives results of a pilot scale in-

feasibility of applying a fabric filter dust collec-

facility, on a slip stream of a 60,000 Ib/hr boiler,
was capable of handling 11,000 acfm at an air-
to-cloth (A/C) ratio of 6/1. Filter media evalu-
ated were Nomex felt, Teflon felt (two styles),
Gore-Tex, and Dralon-T. Fractional efficiency
was determined using an Andersen inertial im-
pactor for the four filter media at three A/C
levels. The effect of reverse air volume on outlet
loading and pressure drop across the bags was
evaluated for Nomex felt. Nomex felt achieved
the lowest outlet dust concentrations while
Teflon felt operated at the lowest pressure
drop. All media tested achieved outlet loadings
well within allowable limits. Higher collection
efficiencies were achieved with Nomex felt by
discontinuing reverse air cleaning. Increasing
the amount of air used for cleaning does reduce
the pressure drop across the bags. Installed an-
nual operating and total annualized costs for a
fabric filter and an electrostatic precipitator,
capable of handling 70,000 acfm of flue gas
from a coal fired boiler, are presented.

A smog chamber study was completed to pro-
vide methodology and preliminary data on the
rate of photooxidation of SO2 in environments
simulating urban atmospheres. The experimen-
tal program included irradiation testing of clean
air as well as air containing pollutants at con-
centration levels typical of those found in urban
atmospheres. Results showed the rate of SO2
photooxidation to be unexpectedly as high as
5% per hour. Furthermore, the presence of
deliberately injected pollutants did not seem to
have a decisive effect on the SO2 photooxida-
tion.

operated successfully in an 1835-hour run at
8.6 ft/sec gas velocity and 15% slurry solids (the
mist elimination system consisted of a Koch
Flexitray in series with a 6-pass, closed-vane

The purpose of the project was to expand the
scope of the analyses being made by the Com-
munity Analysis Bureau (CAB) of the city of Los
Angeles to include measures of environmental
quality, which included indicators of air quality,
noise, water quality and quantity, land use, han-
dling of solid waste and energy use. The project
team surveyed federal, state, county and city
agency data sources and located the data
needed to implement a set of indices similar to
the Initial System of indices designed and
developed for the county of San Diego by the
IREM project in 1973. A two-state statistical
analysis technique, called 'matrix analysis', is
described. This technique identifies urban
areas that share many common characteristics,
including the environmental qualities measured
by the indices. Government policies and pro-
grams that meet the needs of each type urban
area are then developed. The relationships
between energy use and environmental
problems are described. Various organizational
problems noted by the project team that
prevent effective environmental information
systems and management are reported.

Elevated pressure and introduction of swirl, to
the extent considered in the present experi-

flow field which in turn results in enhanced NO
formation and consumption of hydrocarbons.
Aerodynamic flame stabilization produces
strong stirring which results in relatively tow NO
formation and hydrocarbon consumption rates.

The feasibility of the extended aeration ac-
tivated sludge process as a relatively economi-
cal and effective means of secondary waste
treatment has been demonstrated in the labora-
tory and in the field. The process requires more
consistent operation and maintenance than
aerated lagoons and this is a disadvantage
where costs are high and skilled operators are
extremely scarce. The utilization of exposed
aeration chambers for the extended aeration
process is feasible. Earthen basins are also
feasible for use where economic and construc-
tion conditions warrant. Effective solids separa-
tion is the key to successful operation of ex-
tended aeration facilities and is dependent on
both the biological and physical aspects of the
system.

Eleven percent of the eggs produced in the U.

produce more than 800 million pounds of vari-

plants were sampled which covered a size rang-
ing from small installations to one of the lar-
gest. The wastewater was highly contaminated,
with total COD exceeding 6000 mg/l or greater.
The product loss average was 12.5 percent of
the weight of the processed product Unit
process losses were 0.034 kg BOD D sub 6 and
7.5 liters per kg of egg liquid produced. In-plant
waste conservation methods were demon-
strated to decrease BODS and wastewater
volume losses by 50 and 24 percent, respective-
ly. These reductions in product loss resulted in
recovery of product with a value between $250
and $500 per day for a medium sized facility.
Aerobic lagoons with 30 day HRT reduced the
total COD from 5800 mg/l to .1000 mg/l. Of the
four treatment systems tested, only a combina-
tion of an anaerobic lagoon followed in series
with an aerated lagoon and a liquid solids
separation step produced a dischargable ef-
fluent with soluble BOD D sub 5 less than 15

ratio adding 0.05 ppm SO2 and irradiating the
sample for 23 hours. Three 5.7 liter 1972
Chevrolets and one 1973 catalyst-equipped
6.55 liter Ford Galaxie were used in the study.
The effects on test results of exhaust dilution
ratio, relative humidity, added SO2, primary
participates, evaporative emissions and irradia-
tion time are discussed. The tests show that
using commercial grade indolene fuel, the ef-
fects on visibility of the additives F-310 and CI-2
are small compared to the effects brought
about by variations in engine performance. The
presence of primary parti9ulates play an impor-
tant role in the initial and final visibility noted in
the smog chamber. The final visibilities noted in
the smog chamber were found to be closely
correlated with the initial HC/NO ratio. The cor-
relation for the commercial grade indolene is so
good that final visibilities can be predicted from
the initial measurement of HC and NO in the
chamber. For the fuels and additives tested at a
given HC/NO ratio, the sulfur content of the fuel
appeared to have the most important effect on
visibility.

and 77% for cesium-137. These results indicate
the need for improvement in analytical

difficult for most laboratories to achieve, while
the accurate analysis of cesium-137 was the
least difficult.

The lower third of Green Bay and the Lower Fox
River were intensively studied. Seven surveys of
the Bay were carried out between September
1973 and September 1974. Over 40 stations
were sampled for 15 different chemical and
physical chemical and physical parameters. In
addition, plankton samples were taken and
general groupings and counts were made.
Nearly 5,000 da^a points were generated and in-
serted into the STORET system. The surveys
revealed algae blooms over the entire study
area. Nitrogen forms showed fluctuations over
3 orders of magnitude that may be relatable to
nitrogen-fixing algae. Phosphorus concentra-
tions were more stable than nitrogen concen-
trations, but appeared to decrease in cor-
respondence to blue-green nitrogen-fixing
algae. Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the
Bay were generally acceptable except during
the winter survey. The February survey revealed
critical dissolved oxygen levels over a 50 sq.
mile area north of Point Sable. Computer
models of the Lower Fox River and Green Bay
were developed and used to evaluate the effect
of the final limits for the present discharge per-
mits at all point source discharges on the water
quality, specifically dissolved oxygen.

The limnology of two 850 acre wastewater
storage lagoons was investigated from Sep-

through August 1974. Special emphasis was
placed upon the biological aspects of these
lagoons. During the period of study, the East
Lagoon received most of the wastewater, while
the West Lagoon received mostly land drainage
and seepage water. Due to these different
waters in each lagoon, differences in most of
the parameters were apparent between the two
lagoons. Chironomid larvae comprised virtually
all of a scant benthic population in both
lagoons, with different dominant genera in
each body of water. The dominant zooplankton
in the East Lagoon were cyclopoid copepods,
with Cyclops vernalis the most common form.
while calanoid copepods and Daphnia were
dominant in the West Lagoon. Chlorophyll a
and primary productivity were measured and
numerous physical-chemical parameters were
also investigated.

An air quality modeling analysis was performed
in preparation of an air quality maintenance
plan (AOMP) for the state of Rhode Island. The
climatological dispersion model (COM),
developed by EPA. was used to project future
air quality levels and to test maintenance strate-
gies for the years 1978,1980. and 1985. The ob-
jectives of the analysis were to determine areas
in the metropolitan providence air quality main-
tenance area (AOMA) where annual national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for sul-
fur dioxide (S02) and total suspended particu-
lates (TSP) will be exceeded and to evaluate
control strategies which will insure main-
tenance of standards in these areas through
1985. The existing emissions inventory for the
state was updated to the base year of 1974, and
validation and calibration of the model were
performed using 1974 air quality measure-
ments.

tive pollution control systems on clean-fuel
processes which are likely to become commer-
cially viable within the next decade. The intent
was not to,establish standards but rather to:
Determine the types and estimated amounts of
pollutants generated in clean-fuel processes:
Determine the degree of availability processes
for minimizing emissions from these processes;
Estimate the economic and energy costs for
control of these emissions;.Indicate possible
means for utilizing the by-products from these
processes in environmentally satisfactory ways.
The primary emphasis in the study was placed
on the control of sulfur emissions, although
other pollutant streams were considered and

Atmospheric Sulfates as measured include a
variety of chemical entities. Toxicological
evidence indicates that certain Sulfates. par-
ticularly fine paniculate acid sulfates. are more
potent respiratory irritants than sulfur dioxide
alone. Preliminary epidemiological studies sug-
gest that measured sulfates are associated with
a variety of health indicators. Sulfates may also
be related to damage to the environment by
direct deposition or by formation of acid rain
and can cause visibility deterioration. Although
natural sulfur emissions are important on a
global scale, sulfates in industrialized regions
are largely produced by atmospheric reactions
of manmade sulfur oxides emissions. Sulfates
may be transported long distances from source
areas and result in high ambient levels over
broad regions. This is apparently the case in a
24 state region in the eastern U.S. Considera-
tions of chemistry and transport suggest that
reductions in regional SO2 emissions would
produce reduction in sulfates. although the
reductions would be less than one to one. This
report summarizes current scientific and
technical information concerning sulfates, and
identifies needs for research and development.
The report also discusses the implications of
our current knowledge for present and long-
term regulatory control of sulfur oxides, and
presents and evaluates a policy for sulfates.

Creek. The number of algae in the impound-

In the impoundment, a desirable population of
bottom animals has not developed because of
an inadequate food supply and excess silt
deposition. Aquatic life downstream from Tuttle
Creek Reservoir has not been greatly altered by
the impounding of the Big Blue River. Because
of large fluctuations in flow, the improved water

laser radiation backscattered from particulates
in the effluent is Doppler shifted infrequency in
proportion to the velocity of the effluent. Mea-

Several floe-forming bacteria were isolated
from polluted water by this and other laborato-
ries. All organisms studied produced extracel-
lular polymer fibrils that were related to slime
matrix and flocculation. The extracellular
polymers have high adsorption, capacity for:
soluble metal and other mineral ions, soluble
organic nutrients (BOD), soluble toxic organics,
insoluble mineral particles and insoluble or-
ganic particulates. The bacteria remove BOD by
physical adsorption as well as by oxidatiye
metabolism and can convert oxygen demand-
ing organics to more extracellular polymer.
Production of polymer can be stimulated nutri-
tionally to yield amounts that have waste treat-
ment-pollution abatement potential on a com-

tion to waste treatment and lake eutrophication
is discussed and the basic mechanism of
bioflocculation is considered. Biochemical ac-
tivities of individual floe-forming cells is ex-
amined because of its relevance to polymer

Few desirable methods exist for disposing of
the sludge that is periodically pumped from
septic tanks. This report describes the results
obtained from a pilot study of one alternative
septage treatment method-lime stabilization
followed by covered sand-bed dewatering. The
study was conducted in two phases. Phase I (4
months) consisted of the general, chemical,
and biological characterizations of the incom-
ing septage. Attempts were made to thicken the
material via stirring, polyelectrolyte addition,
and lime addition. Phase II (9 months) con-
cerned itself with the application of lime
septage onto covered sand beds. Four experi-
mental runs were conducted to assess the
feasibility of such an approach. The septage
was limed to pH 10.5, 11.0, and 11.5 and applied
at 8-in (20.3-cm) depths. Underdrainage and
cake characteristics were monitored and prac-
tical sand-bed application rates were deter-
mined. A materials balance of chemical con-
stituents around the system was made. A cost
estimate for the treatment of septage at small
treatment plants via this method is included.

The report is the sixth in the series of Clean
Water Reports to Congress. The scope of the
1973 report is broader than previous reports
because the EPA recognizes that consideration
of the cost of controlling pollution from mu-
nicipal and industrial sources is not sufficient
information upon which to evaluate a national
program. It primarily focuses on the economic
factors that will influence implementation of the
1972 amendments but also deals with the na-
ture of the water quality problem, costs of con-
trolling significant sources of pollution, poten-
tial benefits, and administrative factors.

smog chamber was constructed in rural North
Carolina. The chamber was operated with natu-
ral conditions of solar radiation, temperature
and relative humidity which existed at the time
of a run. Ninety-two 12-hour runs using
propylene and oxides of nitrogen were con-
ducted to assess the performance of the
system, A photochemical model, in which only
the light intensity magnitude and pattern and
the rate of heterogeneous surface reactions
were changed, was used to compare the out-
door results with those of three indoor cham-
bers. Good agreement was found in all cases.
One-hundred-thirty 12-hour runs were con-
ducted using a simulated urban hydrocarbon
mix and oxides of nitrogen. Reduction of the
hydrocarbon concentration resulted in reduc-
tions of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) maximum con-
centration and, for large reductions, the
daytime NO2 dosage. Other factors investigated
included NO2 to NO ratio at constant NOx, ef-
fect of slow dilution, and results of extended

were ; continuously exposed to tritium
throughout growth. All segments of the en-
vironment were in equilibrium with respect to
the specific activity of tritium. The tritium con-
tent in plant organic matter was about 22 per-
cent lower than in the plant free water or root-
ing solution. Under conditions of low transpira-
tion, there was a higher concentration (about
1.8) percent of tritium in the leaves than in the
stems and rooting solution. This is thought to
represent the result of fractionation during
transpiration.

The purpose of this work is to determine
whether the turbulent bed contactor (TBC), a
relatively new and efficient device commonly
used for gas scrubbing, can be proven as a
competitive cooling system in electric power
generation. The turbulent bed employs light,
hollow plastic spheres as a packing which
fluidize as air flows upward through the bed,
while water is sprayed downward over the bed.
It was desired to demonstrate the feasibility,
collect sufficient data to permit scaleup design,
and estimate the investment and costs involved.
Pressure drop and cooling performance of the
bed were measured for the air-water system in a
vertical column. 0.29 m I.D. and 2.44 m high,
under conditions typical of industrial cooling
tower applications. It was found that the TBC
performed marginally as compared with con-
ventional mechanical draft cooling towers,
requiring as much as twice the auxiliary power
per unit cooling load white the capital invest-
ment is likely to be less due to the smaller
height of the TBC.

A study was conducted of nonurban, nonpoint
sources of pollution in the Missouri Basin utiliz-
ing a unique, computer-based data system. The
Data Bank contains extensive information on
land use. soil, climate, water quality, and other
parameters in the Missouri Basin. The current
study was concerned with the adequacy of the
Data Bank relative to development of nonpoint
pollution models. Evaluation of information in
the Data Bank yielded detailed land use and
water quality profiles in the basin. The results
show that the Data Bank is a useful base to de-
pict the basinwide relations between various
land uses and water quality. Regression equa-
tions of these relationships were developed for
individual subbasins as well as for the entire
basin. The regression equations, and the ac-
companying statistical analysis of significance,
indicated that the water quality parameters
NO3, BOD, and turbidity correlate well with land
use on a basinwide basis. Other parameters,
namely phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, and dis-
solved solids, did not correlate well with land
use.

In some sewage-treatment plants of the ac-
tivated sludge type, a thick foam may be formed
at the surface of the secondary aeration and
settling tanks. Such foams have often been
found to be rich in actinomycetes. The report
covers the work done on the problem between
April 1971 and May 1974. Over 250 strains of ac-
tinomycetes have been isolated from foams or
activated sludge from 19 different sewage-
treatment plants located in 8 states. The actino-
mycete most commonly associated with foams
is a previously undescribed Nocardia which has
been given the name N. amarae. It has been
demonstrated experimentally in the laboratory
that N. amarae may cause the kind of foam ob-
served in the plants. Factors affecting the
growth of N. amarae have been studied and a
method of control of the foam by addition of
digester supernatant to the activated sludge is
proposed.

modeling techniques are discussed. The eight
methods considered, in order of increasing
complexity, are: (1) VMT Change, (2) Linear
Rollback, (3) Nonlinear Rollback: Appendix J,
(4) Gifford-Hanna Photochemical Model, (5)
Statistical Relationships: Diffusion Kinetics
Model, and (8) Urban Air Shed Photochemical

requirements, (3) use of the technique, (4)
limitations, and (5) special features. The infor-
mation presented in this report gives guidance
towards choosing a model best suited to a

The report gives results of the first phase of a
study of the feasibility of using coal to produce
electricity directly in a fuel cell that uses a mol-
ten-carbonate electrolyte, a coal anode, and an
air cathode. The cell voltage, the polarization of
the anode, and the nature of the gaseous
products formed were investigated. Electrodes
made from charred coal yielded open-circuit
voltages close to 1 V. At 975 K. the activation
plus concentration polarization was about 200
mV at current densities of 100 mA per sq cm
and larger. At higher temperatures smaller
polarizations were observed. The gaseous
anode products were primarily CO2, with some
CO. Current efficiencies were somewhat less
than 100 percent. The Jow values were possibly
due to losses of anode gases by mechanical
means. Coal ash added to the molten elec-
trolyte did not appear to be deleterious to cell
operation. Descriptions of possible future en-
gineering systems and thermodynamic limita-
tions are presented.

Ammonia and nitrates are the principle forms of
nitrogen in waste waters. Ammonia is con-
verted to nitrates by biological oxidation.
Because of this reaction it exerts a high BOD in
surface waters. Nitrates are reduced to nitrogen
gas by bacteria when organic matter exceeds
the oxygen supply. Both compounds are algal
nutrients but ammonia is much more toxic than
nitrates. The best developed method for control
of nitrogen compounds is biological oxidation
to nitrates followed by denitrification with the
aid of methanol. Ammonia stripping at high pH
in cooling towers following lime treatment is ef-
fective but cannot be used during freezing
weather and may suffer from serious scale
problems. Selective ion exchange of ammonia
with lime regeneration may be practical but the
process is still in the pilot stage. Several other
processes are being studied. A bibliography of
pertinent references is attached.

Recent developments in the energy field have
necessitated review of state implementation
plan requirements in the light of known or pre-
dicted shortages of oil and/or gas. In addition.
the Energy Supply and Environmental Coor-
dination Act (June 1974) requires certain
analyses relating to power plant fuel use and
the resultant impact on air quality. As a result.
short-term modifications to plan requirements
may be necessary to accommodate to the types
and grades of fuel available; also, longer term
alterations in fuel types and usage patterns may
be required- These modifications may involve
substitution of fuel types (e.g., coal for oil) or
use of fuels with a higher sulfur content at
selected power plants. As the principal single
user of fossil fuels, power plants offer the most
expeditious means for accommodating to
available fuels with minimum impact upon air
quality. The purpose of the present study is to
estimate the probable impact on annual and 24-
hour SO2 concentrations for 1972 operations at
the remaining large power plants in the Nation.
Volume II outlines the analyses by GEOMET, In-
corporated, covering 206 power plants in 68

of these plants for 1972.

The report gives results of extensive testing of a
prototype marble bed scrubber system for use
in power plants. Results of 16 once-through
soluble system tests, using sodium carbonate
scrubbing solution, showed that the scrubber is
a very good liquid/gas contacting device for
SO2 removal from flue gases with an overall ef-
ficiency of 90 to 95 percent. Liquid/gas ratio
and scrubber liquid composition significantly
affected SO2 removal; other variables had little
or no effect. Results of six limestone furnace in-
jection system tests, using boiler calcined
limestone and fly ash mixture, showed that
solids concentration in the spray slurry and
liquid/gas ratio signficantly affected SO2
removal. Results of six limestone tail-end
system tests, using commercial limestone in a
dual marble bed scrubber, showed that the SO2
removal efficiencies of the lower and upper
beds are the same, based on the SO2 concen-
trations entering the respective beds. It was
demonstrated that scale-free operation of both
the furnace injection and the tail-end systems
can be achieved in a closed loop system,
without employing liquid blowdown, by main-
taining 8 to 10 percent solids in the spray slurry.

dustrial wastewaters. Also conducted are con-
tinuous aerobic or anaerobic culture studies
with and without solids recycle. Dehydrogenase
activity was monitored along with other
parameters including plate count. Coulter
Counter enumeration, adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), and suspended solids to provide com-
parative and complementary information on the
biomass concentration. Dehydrogenase activity
was a very sensitive and accurate measure of
active biomass throughout the growth phases
especially during endogenous growth but
showed limitations with the nutrient deficient
cultures. The correlation between
dehydrogenase activity and suspended solids
was constant at varying retention times, or at all
growth rates with or without solids recycle. The
technique for dehydrogenase activity measure-
ment is simple, less costly and gives more relia-
ble and interpretable results.

Power Station. The closed-loop system, which
was started up in April 1973, uses a slurry of
carbide lime in a marble-bed scrubber. The car-
bide lime, a waste by-product from a nearby
acetylene manufacturing plant, contains 90-92
percent calcium hydroxide, 2-2.5 percent silica.
3-8 percent calcium carbonate, and 0.1 percent
magnesium oxide. Sludge is stabilized by mix-
ing thickener overflow with carbide lime before
vacuum filtration. The sludge, containing about
40 percent solids, is trucked to a nearby 10-acre
borrow pit, used as a landfill area. The Paddy's
Run Station is used primarily to meet summer
peaking loads. Boiler No. 6 is operated in-
frequently because of its low thermal efficiency
(heat rate is about 13,000 Btu/kWhr). On the
basis of the performance at Paddy's Run.
Louisville Gas and Electric Co. is pursuing
plans to install similar carbide lime FGO
systems at other power stations.

An experimental procedure was devised to test
the possible Synergistic effect of polonium-210
and cigarette smoke in rats. Appropriate
techniques were developed to expose the rats
to cigarette smoke through mouth-breathing
and to add known amounts of polonium-210 to
the cigarette smoke. The findings from this ex-
periment included: (1) lung deposition of
polonium-210 was 31 plus or minus 2%, (2)
early retention of polonium was two-phased
with half-times of 4 and 84 hours, and (3)
bronchitis, emphysema and lung tumors were
observed in the experimental animals. Though
the spontaneous occurrence of two lung tu-
mors in the number of animals at risk was
highly improbable, any conclusion that this
resulted from the exposure to cigarette smoke
must be highly qualified.

Ethylene dibromide has recently been reported
by the National Cancer Institute to be a poten-
tial carcinogen. Its commercial use is
predominately as a scavenging agent for lead in
gasoline. A minor usage is a pesticide fumigant.
A protocol was developed for the sampling and
analysis of ethylene dibromide in ambient air
and surface water. The range in concentration
of ethylene dibromide in the air and the site
where it was collected are as follows: manufac-
turing sites, 4.2 to 115 microg rams per cu m oil
refinery, 0.23-1.65 micrograms per cu m; urban
locations near retail gasoline stations and with
heavy vehicular traffic, 0.069 to 0.11 micro-
grams per cu m. Two water samples collected
from streams near an oil refinery and a manu-
facturing site were found to contain 1.13 and
1.05 parts per billion ethylene dibromide,
respectively. Further work to clarify ambient air
levels and to assess whether they may
represent a health risk is anticipated, but the
very low levels detected to date are not thought
to present a significant risk to health.

Climatic factors, feedlot runoff, and organic
material in the runoff were evaluated in experi-
mental and commercial feedlots. The effects of
slope, stocking rates, terraces, basins, and
holding ponds were evaluated to obtain the
best controls for containing runoff. In eastern
Nebraska, 70 cm annual precipitation produces
23 cm of runoff; whereas, in northeastern
Colorado, 37 cm annual precipitation gives only
5.5 cm of runoff. Large applications of runoff
liquid, up to 91 cm on grass-Ladino and 76 cm
on corn, in Nebraska did not decrease yields;
however, in northeastern Colorado, the con-
centrated high-salt runoff required dilution be-
fore direct application to crops. The organic
manure-soil interface severely restricts the
movement of water, nitrates, organic sub-
stances, and air into the soil beneath feedlots.
The amounts of NO3-N in soil cores taken from
Nebraska feedlots and croplands ranked as fol-
lows: Abandoned feedlots feedlot cropland >
upland feedlots > river valley feedlots >
manure mounds :alfalfa ^grassland. Feedlots
contribute NH3, amines, carbonyl sulfide, H2S,
and other unidentified substances to the at-
mosphere. Ammonia and amine can be
scavenged from the air by green plants and
water bodies. Anaerobic conditions in feedlots
are conducive to the production of carbonyl
sulfide, H2S, and amines. Management prac-
tices, such as good drainage, that enhance
aeration will decrease the evolution of these
compounds.

method. A total of 16,800 metric tons of waste
were incinerated at a maximum rate of 25 met-
ric tons per hour with a 1200C minimum and a
1350C average flame temperature. Stack gas
emissions were mentioned for plume disper-
sion characteristics and to determine com-
bustion efficiency. The findings indicate that
more than 99.9 percent of the wastes were ox-
idized. Marine monitoring surveys indicate that
there were no measurable increases in concen-
trations of trace metals and organochlorides in
the water and marine life. Results of the project
indicate that ocean incineration could be a via-

In response to an increased interest in water
quality by the public, a large effort has been
mounted to develop mathematical models for
predicting heat assimilation in bodies of water.
The accuracy of these models has recently
come under scrutiny due to the need for tem-
perature predictions within 1C of the ambient.
This work is an evaluation of existing, one-
dimensional stream temperature prediction
techniques for accuracy and precision. The ap-
proach Is through error estimates on a general
model that encompasses all of the models
presently used. A sensitivity analysis of this
general model is used in conjunction with
statistical methods to determine the solution
errors.

Malathion is rapidly degraded in vitro by salt-
marsh bacteria to malathion-monocarboxylic
acid, malathion-dicarboxylic acid and various
phosphothionates as a result of carbox-
yesterase cleavage. In addition, some expected
phosphatase activity produces desmethyl-
malathion, phosphotionates, 4-carbon dicar-
boxylic acids, and corresponding ethyl esters.
In a simulated salt-marsh environment.
malathion is degraded by the indigenous bac-
terial community. Numbers of bacterial capable
of degrading malathion in the presence of addi-
tional nutrients increase in the sediments with
increasing frequency of application and in the
water column with the increasing level of treat-
ment Numbers of bacteria which degrade
malathion as a sole carbon source are linked to
the level of treatment in sediments and the
frequency of treatment in the water column;
however, these bacteria do not appear to play a
significant role in the dissipation of malathion.
The disappearance of malathion in the salt-
marsh environment is influenced by both
chemical and biological degradation; however.
at temperatures below 26C and salinities below
20 parts per thousand by weight, chemical
mechanisms appear to be of less importance
than biological degradation.

to systematically judge the broader economic
effects on these materials, resulting from the
application of water effluent control, first by as-
sessing the likelihood that treatment costs
would be defrayed through price increases, and
secondly, if price increases were not likely, the
extent to which profits would be impacted
and/or the likelihood that plant shutdowns
would occur. Based on this approach and using

at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina
(IERL-RTP); and topical and chronological
overviews of the various projects which IERL-
RTP has sponsored relating to scrubber
technology. Possible exceptions (mobile-bed
scrubbers and series scrubbing with low-ener-
gy devices) became objects of further study.
Two major mechanisms for increasing scrubber
efficiency have been studied by IERL-RTP con-
tractors: flux-force/condensation scrubbing
(use of diffusiophoresis and condensation
growth of particles), and electrostatic augmen-
tation (scrubbing with charged droplets); both
have shown efficiencies which are higher than
those achieved by conventional means at equal
power consumption levels. Problems with en-
trained water droplets have caused IERL-RTP
to fund theoretical and experimental research
in entrainment separator technology, some of
the results of which are presented. The
hypothesis that particle wettability is important
in determining scrubbing efficiency is to be
tested by an IERL-RTP sponsored research pro-
gram.

A trench method was tested for transporting
and placing digested and limed raw
(undigested) sewage sludges (8% and 20%
solids) in trenches in study soil at loadings up
to 1150 dry tons/hectare (500 dry tons/acre)
without odor problems or hazard of surface ru-
noff. Field scale trenching was best achieved by
digging the trenches on contour not more than
75 cm deep, 60 cm wide, and from 60 to 75 cm
apart. The study indicated that the best sludge
transport method would employ concrete mixer
trucks. Trenches could then be filled directly
from discharge chutes or indirectly with a
peristaltic pump. A tracked trenching machine
with a maneuverable rear-mounted digging
wheel dug a new trench and simultaneously
backfilled a parallel sludged trench. In 2 years,
neither heavy metals nor pollution indicator or-
ganisms (coliform and salmonella) have moved
more than about 30 cm from entrenched sludge
into surrounding soil. Moderate amounts of
nitrate nitrogen have moved into un-
derdrainage water but not into the un-
derground aquifier. The lime in the sludge
reduced metal movement into soil and availa-
bility to crops and metal uptake was modest.
Tested agricultural practices included cross
ripping, tilling, and cropping, with grasses
recommended for the first year. Entrenchment
appeared feasible for sludge disposal and im-
proving marginal land.

dicted is strongly dependent upon the mag-
nitude of the absorption coefficient of water,
and the diffusion coefficient. However, our sen-
sitivity analysis shows that an absorption coeffi-
cient of about 0.75/m and a diffusion coeffi-
cient of 15 to 20 times molecular diffusion are
appropriate choices for the seven TVA reser-
voirs studied. The determination of whether or
not a reservoir model depends on the Den-
simetric Froude number. However, the
representativeness of the result is not solely de-
pendent upon the Densimetric Froude number.
By the use of a fitted curve to the measured
temperatures, it was possible to determine the
maximum standard error of estimate for the
predicted outlet level temperature, 1.6C. Tem-
peratures on individual days may exceed these
values and they surely are exceeded at other
depths in the reservoir. These limits are sug-
gested as the limit of accuracy of these types of
models.

The present day oil shortage has led to relaxa-
tion of some fuel restrictions, allowing conver-
sions from oil to coal and thereby increasing
emissions of sulfur dioxide and participates to
the atmosphere. The purpose of this project
was to evaluate the impact of the energy
shortage on ambient sulfur dioxide (S02) and
total suspended paniculate (TSP) concentra-
tions in a major urban area, metropolitan
Boston. A combined approach based on a
statistical analysis of measured air quality data,
regulatory and emissions analysis, and diffu-
sion modeling of changes in ambient pollutant
concentrations was used to attain this objec-
tive.

(Metro) in 1970 converted excess secondary
aerators to aerobic digesters. The plant scale
diffused air system was compared with a pilot
scale open tank oxygen system using very fine
bubble fixed and rotating diffusers. For the air
system volatile suspended solids (VSS) reduc-
tions ranged between 11.2% and 47.2%. A sig-
nificant correlation was observed between VSS
reduction and detention time-temperature fac-
tor. Cold shock eliminated nitrification for a five
month period. When invertebrates, particularly
rotifers, comprised a significant fraction of the
biomass, digestion was maximal. The pollutant
concentration in the supernatant from the aero-
bic digester averaged 10% of that from an
anaerobic digester. For the oxygen batch tests,
biodegradable VSS digestion rate coefficient k
averaged 0.27. No correlation was observed
between DO concentration and VSS reduction
rates. The temperature of the oxygen digested
biomass increased with increased loadings.

A study of Presque Isle Bay and its tributaries
was performed to evaluate present water quali-

ships between wastewater discharges and
water quality. Field sampling of Presque Isle
Bay, its tributaries and Erie Harbor was per-
formed during the fall and winter of 1973 and
the spring of 1974. Special wastewater studies
were performed for Penn Central and for eight
select industries. Garrison Run. a tributary of
Presque Isle Bay, was investigated to determine
sources of wastewater entering the stream. In
general, water quality in Presque Isle Bay and
Erie Harbor was good except for the presence
of high levels of total and fecal coliform. Local-
ized areas of degraded water quality were
found in a few areas. Poor water quality was ob-
served in the bay area around the confluence of
Mill Creek and in the lake area adjacent to Ham-
mermill Paper Company. Water quality in the
three tributary streams was degraded and in-
dicated the presence of sanitary and industrial
wastewaters. Mill Creek appears to contribute
the highest pollutional load to Presque Isle Bay.

An emission inventory constitutes the starting
point for any attempt to control emissions to
the atmosphere. As long as such controls deal
with average yearly concentrations, inventories
giving total annual emissions of the various
sources of pollutants are sufficient. The Re-
gional Air Pollution Study has, however, as its
first goal the validation of atmospheric disper-
sion models, which attempt to predict ambient
pollutant concentrations on an hourly basis.
Therefore, emission values derived from total
annual emissions are largely inadequate, and
the RAPS emission inventory was conceived to
provide the needed time resolution and accura-
cy by measuring and recording hourly emis-
sions. Thus, the emission inventory for the Re-
gional Air Pollution Study (RAPS) at St. Louis is
distinguished from existing emission invento-
ries by two factors: its time and space resolu-
tion and its accuracy. This report proposes an
approach to the problem of assembling a
'precision' inventory for the St. Louis Interstate
Air Quality Region. It states the nature of the
problem and the rationale for choosing the St.
Louis area as a 'test chamber' the pollutants of
interest are also discussed briefly. The
mechanism for the acquisition of data and their
preparation prior to entry into a data bank, as
well as a time schedule to accomplish these
aims, are also described.

A comparison has been made of three models
which attempt to predict the dispersion of pol-
lutants in situations with complex terrain. The
three models are (1) a Gaussian calculation
with terrain assumptions known as the NOAA
model. (2) an EPA model. C4M3D also known as
the 'valley' model, which substitutes different
terrain assumptions in the Gaussian calcula-
tions, and (3) the INTERCOMP combined wind
flow and plume dispersion model which uses a
numerical calculational method. Predictions
made by each of these models are compared to
measurements of ambient concentration data
taken in Huntington Canyon, Utah and at El
Paso, Texas. The results indicate that the IN-
TERCOMP model has a predictive accuracy for
terrain situations comparable to that normally
expected for Gaussian predictions in flat ter-
rain, i.e. a factor of two to three. For stable at-
mospheres, however, the Gaussian predictions
of the NOAA model averaged a factor of fifteen
higher than the measured results.

tion processes. The method utilizes a Monte
Carlo simulation approach which can treat fully
developed cost models and also those which
encompass a high level of uncertainty either in
structure or in process parameters. The report
presents impact assessment techniques which
can be used to develop methodology for alter-
native future scenarios. A specific example, the
Wellman-Allied process, is used to demonstrate
the utility of simulation methodology.

An extensive data collection program was in-
corporated which allowed detailed statistical
evaluation of each control algorithm with re-.
gard to performance, effluent quality impact,
operating costs, and reliability, comparison was
made to similar data collected during
benchmark manual operation tests. Overall
results indicate digital control using advanced

strable improvements in effluent quality are ob-
tained. Direct operating cost savings in the
form of an 11% reduction in air use was also
shown for DO control.

The first officially sanctioned incident of ocean
incineration in the United States occurred
aboard the M/T Vulcanus in the Gulf of Mexico
from October 1974 through January 197S. This
report describes the monitoring activities un-
dertaken to evaluate ocean incineration as a
disposal method. A total of 16,800 metric tons
of waste were incinerated at a maximum rate of
25 metric tons per hour with a 1200C minimum
and a 1350C average flame temperature. Stack
gas emissions were monitored for plume
dispersion characteristics and to determine
combustion efficiency. The findings indicate
that more than 99.9 percent of the wastes were
oxidized. Marine monitoring surveys indicate
that there were no measurable increases in
concentrations of trace metals and or-
ganochlorides in the water and marine life.

Physical factors involved in the disposal of ef-
fluents in the Great Lakes were studied. The ex-
perimental work was carried out at the Baie du
Dore research station on Lake Huron in the
summer seasons of 1967 and 1968. Data evalua-
tion and parallel theoretical work continued
into 1970. Some direct measurements of lake
turbulence intensity were obtained and the
structure of big eddies studied in a variety of
ways. Some information was obtained on the
interrelationship of short internal waves and
turbulence. The turbulence intensity level could
be shown to be proportional to effective dif-
fusivity. Further studies were carried out of
mean concentration and fluctuation distribu-
tions in dye plumes. A comprehensive review
article on lake dispersion was prepared. This
also contained proposals for specific pollution
prediction models, as well as tentative esti-
mates of quantitative parameters required in
the use of those models. Coastal flow
processes became recognized as being of
especial importance in pollution problems in
virtue of the observed 'coastal entrapment' of
pollutants discharged near shore. Theoretical
models of the coastal boundary layer were
therefore studied, leading to the discovery of
'coastal jets.'

The report is a review and evaluation of the cur-
rent knowledge of cadmium in the environment
as related to possible deleterious effects on
human health and welfare. Sources, distribu-
tion, measurement, and control technology are
also considered. Cadmium is widely distributed
in the environment. The air over urban areas
has contained generally less than 0.1 micro-
gram per cubic meter, 24-hour average, but a
24-hour average as high as 0.73 microgram/cu
m has been measured in the air of a community
with a known cadmium source. The cadmium
content of water generally is less than 1 part per
billion although much higher values have been
found. The cadmium content in foods varies
widely. The estimated intake from foods is 25 to
75 micrograms per day. Food and tobacco
smoke are the major sources except in the im-
mediate vicinity of major sources of atmospher-
ic emissions of cadmium. Emphysema and
other lung diseases have been related to indus-
trial exposure. Kidney damage has also resulted
from long-term exposure to cadmium. Animal
experiments link anemia, hypertension, testicu-
lar necrosis, and carcinogenesis with cadmium
exposure.

tensive literature on the biological effects of
SHF (super-high frequency) electromagnetic
fields. There are but a few studies on this sub-
ject. In view of this fact as well as of the fact that

greater in direct proportion to the content in
them of 3.4-benzpyrene. The question arose as
to how shale soot or its extract of tarry sub-
stances induces tumors in the lungs. Experi-

The report gives results of a survey of flue gas
desulfurization (FGD) systems to control SO2
and paniculate emissions from two existing 125
MW generating units at Nevada Power Com-
pany's Reid Gardner Station. Two additional
125 MW units, originally planned for installation
in 1976 and 1977, are to incorporate similar
FGD equipment. (Installation of the second new
unit has been postponed indefinitely.) The FGD
systems utilize a sodium carbonate scrubbing
process. The systems, placed in operation in
April 1974, did not meet SO2 and paniculate
performance guarantees during their first year
of operation. Each system utilizes twin parallel
Venturis followed by an absorber tower. As of
August 1,1975, System 1 had operated for 3814
hours and System 2, for 2947 hours. Potential
availabilities for the systems seem to be near
100 percent, but the plant has not had access to
an adequate supply of trona, a sodium car-
bonate ore that constitutes the scrubbing medi-
um. Alternate sodium carbonate sources were
secured recently.

sources of information used are the EPA in-
teragency noise research panels reports on the
Federal noise RD&D activities during the FY 73-

didates which have been identified or are under
consideration by the EPA. Federal noise RD&D
activities are identified which have supported
the development and enforcement of existing

could support future standards and regula-
tions, particularly for the EPA major noise
source candidates. Federal research activities
which could identify the limits to noise control

sugar acids. The terpenes, resin and fatty acids
are similar to those present in the wood species
being pulped. Some terpenes, phenols and
sugar acids are produced during the pulping
reactions. About 8 ppm total terpenes were
found in the lagoon influent and 1 ppm or less
were in the effluent. Alpha-Terpineol was the
major compound entering the lagoon and
camphor the main terpene in the effluent. The
total resin acid concentration entering the
lagoon was 3.2 ppm with 0.6 ppm leaving. Fatty
acids were lower both entering and leaving the
lagoon. Sugar acids were found at about 100
ppm total entering, these were usually
completely eliminated in the lagoon. Control of
terpenes can be done by in-process steam
stripping and the other compounds can be par-
tially controlled by in-plant spill containment.

modules in parallel for particulate control (two
are Environeering ventri-rod units; the third is a
Peabody-Lurgi venturi unit) and a second stage
Environeering absorber module with two ven-
tri-rod beds for SO2 removal. The three first
stage scrubbers, combined, are sized to handle
all the exhaust gas from unit 1 which has a net
electric generating capacity of 314 MW. The
second stage absorber is sized to handle one-
third of the gas flow, equivalent to about 105
MW (net). As of April 1, 1975, the second stage
module had not yet been operated; therefore,
this report necessarily emphasizes design,
rather than operating, parameters and ex-
perience. The system is designed to remove 90
percent of the SO2 from boiler stack gas.

The ability of a soil to remove wastewater
phosphorus from solutions passing through the
soil matrix is primarily related to the formation
of relatively insoluble phosphate compounds of
iron, aluminum, and calcium. Based on the
solubility of these compounds, an estimate can
be made of the minimum concentration of
phosphorus which will be found at equilibrium
in the soil solution. The kinetics of
orthophosphorus sorption with 25 viable
mineral soils were experimentally measured
under laboratory conditions. Several kinetic
models were evaluated as a means of describ-
ing phosphorus sorption by soil. A diffusion
limited Langmuir sorption model best fit the ex-
perimental data.

The purpose of the investigation was to help
establish the chemical, physical and micro-
biological fate of mirex and Carbofuran in the
estuarine environment and determine the ef-
fect(s) on important estuarine microorganisms
and their activities. Chemical studies* on the ad-
sorption, fate and hydrolysis were conducted.
The micro-biological studies involved the use
of both pure cultures and mixed cultures in a
microcosm system and included twelve distinct
physiological groups of microorganisms. It was
concluded that neither, mirex nor Carbofuran
would have a deleterious effect on estuarine
bacteria under normal conditions, and there
was no evidence of bioaccumulation. Degrada-
tion products of both compounds were shown
to be toxic to some microorganisms.

Operating problems and the effect of operating
variables were investigated during full-scale
plant operations in the scalping mode. Influent
suspended solids concentration and water tem-
perature were the most significant independent
variables. Mechanical limitations were studied,
including a filter bed disturbance that neces-
sitated a total bed replacement. High, localized
backwash velocity caused the invisible
disturbance which reduced turbidity removal
from about 80% to 50%. Diagnostic procedures,
design changes, and the costs of operation and
maintenance are reported. A cold weather
study showed that a three-chemical destabliza-
tion pretreatment system is required for filtra-
tion of biocolloids in brackish water. Deter-
mination of the optimal three-chemical desta-
bilization system using zeta potentials required
evaluation of zeta potentials in a manner which
sorted out the effect of double-layer repression.
The colloid destabilization mechanisms of
charge neutralization and bridging were
required for optimal filter performance. For
colder water temperatures, even with optimal
chemical treatment, the filter hydraulic loading
must be decreased. The change in hydraulic
loading with temperature related directly to the
water's viscosity.

The design and application of the Lake Condi-
tion Index (LCI) system of classifying lakes is
described, and it is demonstrated that lake clas-
sification can be employed as a useful tool by
resource managers for comparing the trophic
condition of large numbers of lakes. The LCI
system was generated when an evaluation of
other systems revealed that most are presently
unsuitable for classifying the vast majority of
lakes because the analytical data required for
their use are lacking. Utilizing subjective infor-
mation, the LCI system was applied to the clas-
sification of more than 1100 large Wisconsin
lakes. Checks of the results show that 86% of
the lakes were appropriately classified within
the limits of the system;. 14% were misclas-
sified, as judged by individuals familiar with the
lakes in question. Most, but not all, discrepan-
cies were due to erroneous input 'data. The LCI
values obtained were coupled with nutrient-
loading considerations and shoreline density-
development factors to demonstrate that lake
classification can serve as a workable data base
for lake renewal and management programs.

operations; (2) cost analysis during two years of
plant operation; (3) a 12-month period of moni-
toring a bale test cell constructed at St.Paul
bale landfill; and (4) a nine-month period of
monitoring the bale sanitary landfill operation.
Test cell monitoring included analyzing
leachate and gas samples, recording and
analyzing temperature trends, and settle-
ment/expansion. Landfill monitoring included
time and motion studies, fly emergence studies,
and odor, litter, dust, and vectors evaluation.
Comparisons were made between the bale
landfill and normal environmental conditions.
The feasibility of solid waste baling plants was
evaluated, and compared to milling and com-
bined solid waste baling and milling systems.

The report gives results of a full size demon-
stration of the magnesia wet-scrubbing system
for flue gas desulfurization on an oil fired, 150
MW generating unit. The project involved:
design and construction of both an SO2
removal system (based on firing 2.5% sulfur
fuel) and an MgO regeneration facility for 50
ton/day acid production; and operation of both
plants over a 2 year period. The report shows
that the system removed 90% of the inlet SO2
and controlled paniculate emissions from the
generating station, where 4000 hours of opera-
tion were logged. Regenerated magnesia was
recycled successfully and over 5000 tons of
acid was marketed from the regeneration plant,
demonstrating the feasibility of the process.
Correlations were developed both to determine
SO2 removal for varying boiler loads and fuel
sulfur content, and to control regeneration of
acceptable alkali. Several other studies of the
process technology and chemistry were un-
dertaken as part of the work.

Participate impact has been used for the detec-

might be detected in the same way if the
suspension is expanded rapidly when it enters
through a capillary in a nearly evacuated vessel.
If the accelerating capillary is relatively long
and the pressure inside the vessel below 1 torr,
particulate beams are obtained. They enable
the study of particle velocities, their rebound
properties, etc. For particulate beam condi-
tions, impact sensing is mass concentration
proportional, grain size and substance inde-
pendent, and sensitivity may rate from the de-
tection of single particle to the range of mg/(m
cubed). With short nozzles and chamber pres-
sure above 1 torr, impact sensing remains
possible but marked grain size dependence and
possible substance dependence complicate the
phenomenon.

The report summarizes research on the condi-
tioning of fly ash in coal-burning electric power
stations with two flue-gas additives—sulfur
trioxide and ammonia. It presents experimental
data on the use of these additives to improve
the efficiency of electrostatic precipitation of fly
ash by adjusting the electrical resistivity of the
ash and by other less widely recognized
mechanisms. The report shows that the primary
role of sulfur trioxide is lowering resistivity from
the excessive values found with ash from low-
sulfur coals. It also indicates that the role of am-
monia does not involve a change in resistivity,
despite findings to the contrary by other in-
vestigators. At least for the specific circum-
stances investigated, the research data indicate
that conditioning by ammonia involves a space-
charge enhancement of the electric field in the
interelectrode space of a precipitator and,
sometimes additionally, an increase in the
cohesiveness of the collected ash. The report
addresses both the theoretical aspects of con-
ditioning mechanisms, and such practical mat-
ters as the effectiveness of each agent as a
function of the concentration added, the facili-
ties used for adding the agent, the chemical
composition of the ash treated, and the tem-
perature of the ash during conditioning and
precipitation.

Ground-water contamination from uranium
mining and milling results from the infiltration
of radium-bearing mine, mill, and ion-exchange
plant effluents. Radium, selenium, and nitrate
were of most value as indicators of contamina-
tion. In recent years, mining has increased radi-
um in mine effluents from several picocu-
ries/liter (pCi/1) or less, to 100-150 pCi/1. The
shallow aquifer in use in the vicinity of one mill
was grossly contaminated with selenium, at-
tributable to the mill tailings. Seepage from two
other mill tailings ponds averaged 67,400.000
liters/year and. to date, has contributed an esti-
mated 1.1 curies of radium to ground water. At
one of these, an injection well was used to
dispose of over 3.400.000,000 liters of waste
from 1960-1973. The wastes have not been
properly monitored and have apparently
migrated to more shallow, potable aquifers. No
adverse impacts on municipal water quality in
Paguate, Bluewater, Grants, Milan, and Gallup
were observed.

The U.S. seafood processing industry is highly
diverse in terms of products and dispersed in
terms of geographic location extending from
Alaska to Maine. This report was concerned
with the impact of effluent guidelines on
processors of fish meal, salmon, bottom fish,
clams, oysters, sardines, scallops, herring and
abalone. The seafood industry studied is
characterized by a large number of small
plants, decreases in the number of plants over
time and important competition from foreign
producers. Economies of scale exist, both in
processing and in effluent treatment. Opportu-
nities to pass through increased costs due to
pollution control to the consumer are limited.
impacts, in terms of plant closures, will be
greatest in the Alaskan salmon industry, non-
mechanized bottom fish processing, non-
mechanized clam processing and the West
Coast oyster industry. Out of a total of 381
plants above cut-off levels, it is estimated that
BPT guidelines would close 42 plants and BAT
guidelines would close an additional 86 plants.

The report gives results of an analysis of experi-
mental data, from both small and large scale
turbulent contacting absorbers (TCA) and spray
columns used in the wet scrubbing of SO2 from
flue gases, to obtain gas film mass transfer
coefficients and overall coefficients in the
liquid film which includes chemical reaction in
the liquid film. Recycled limestone, limestone-
magnesium oxide, and lime scrubbing slurries
were investigated. Gas film coefficients for the
spray and TCA scrubbers were calculated from
data on SO2 scrubbing with sodium carbonate
solutions. Overall mass transfer resistances in
the liquid phase were correlated for both scrub-
bers in terms of the ratio of the gas film and
liquid film mass transfer resistances. The ratio
of the resistances was found to be a function of
only the scrubber type, inlet SO2 partial pres-
sure in the gas phase, slurry pH, and magnesi-
um concentration of the scrubbing slurry.
Specifically, it was found that the ratio of the
gas and liquid film mass transfer resistances (or
the fraction to which SO2 removal is gas film
controlled) increases with increasing slurry pH
and magnesium concentration and decreasing
SO2 partial pressure. Correlations for the gas
film mass transfer coefficient and the ratio of
mass transfer resistances are shown to predict
fairly accurately the experimentally observed
SO2 removal efficiencies.

A method for assessing the societal risk of
transporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and
liquefied natural gas (LNG) is described, and is
illustrated by application to the transport of
LPG by tank truck and LNG by tanker ship in the
U.S. Data on past experience and projected fu-
ture handling of-these liquefied gases are used.
with analysis of flammable plume formation
and ignition, and population distributions, to
estimate the risks of fatalities from tank truck
and tanker ship accidents. From an estimated
52 significant accidents per year with LPG tank
trucks at the present truck-associated transpor-
tation rate of 20 billion gallons of LPG per year,
a fatality rate of 1.2 per year is calculated. For
the projected 1980 importation of 33 billion gal-
lons by tanker ship, a fatality rate of 0.4 per year
is calculated, using a conservatively high one
chance in 20,000 of a significant accident per
trip. Comparison with fires and explosions from
all causes in the U.S. and Canada leading to 10
or more fatalities shows that these are 100
times more frequent than the predicted
frequency of comparable LPG and LNG ac-
cidents. Tabulations of experience with spills of
flammable volatile liquids are included.

Scott performed a survey of users of the EPA
Reference Method for measurement of non-

resulted in the compilation of a list of 188
NMHC analyzers operated by 70 organizations.
Field evaluations were performed on instru-
ments operated by 16 of the users. The accura-
cy of the NMHC data being obtained by the 16
users of the reference method was determined
by presenting a series of 5 gas mixtures in high-
pressure cylinders for analysis by each opera-
tor. The results for the mixture containing
NMHC at a concentration close to the 0.24 ppm-
C ambient air standard showed that substantial
errors existed in current NMHC data. An analy-
sis of the data showed that the inaccuracies in
current data make it impossible to determine
whether ambient air quality is in compliance
with the standard. The major factors contribut-
ing to data errors are discussed, and recom-
mendations for improving data quality are
presented.

Processes for converting coal, oil and shale to
clean fuels were studied. Most of the processes
considered have not yet been developed to
commercialization. Based on preliminary data
and engineering estimates developed, it can be
concluded that: (1) Unit processes apparently
exist to provide adequate control of most waste
streams from clean-fuel plants, although some
pollutants remain difficult to treat; (2) The pol-
lutant emissions from clean-fuel processes will,
in general, be relatively low when compared to
emissions from alternative uses of the raw fuel;
(3) The total costs of pollutant control (1973
basis) for achieving low levels of plant emis-
sions, in high-Btu coal gasification processes,
range from 15 to 30 cents per million Btu and
can be expected to increase in proportion to
the severity of the emission controls required;
(4) Low-Btu gasification followed by desul-
furization may be considered as a pollution
control system because it permits the com-
bustion of coal with decreased emissions. In
that case the overall cost of pollution control is
about $0.657TO to the sixth power Btu of gas
produced.

EPA urban dispersion models were modified to

models, and the Qimatological Dispersion
Model (COM), a long term averaging model.
Relatively straight forward modifications, which
are useful and. practical approximations have
been made. The modifications had two basic
objectives: the first, to develop techniques for
describing wind conditions at any point within a
region in which arbitrarily-located observing
points exist; and second, to identify critical
points in the dispersion algorithms at which the
additional multiple-station wind data could be
incorporated and to modify these computation
routines accordingly. The modifications were
compared among themselves on the basis of
accuracy, computational efficiency and ease of
use. Although no observational data was availa-
ble to verify the various approaches, the results
of applications to hypothetical meteorological
situations indicate that more realistic results
can be obtained by the incorporation of multi-
ple-station data.

The final report, which describes a field tes« of
an injury reporting and analysis system for the
solid waste management industry, gives a com-
prehensive account of the development of the
Injury Reporting and Information System (IRIS).
The need for this system arises from the ex-
tremely high incidence and severity rates for in-
juries associated with this industry, and from
the fact that no data are presently available
which can be used to set priorities for injury
reduction programs or to monitor their suc-
cess. The purpose of the field test was to design
a workable injury reporting and analysis
system. Data supplied by eleven public and four
private solid waste agencies to the Central Data
Office was collated and returned in a Quarterly
Safety Management Report to each participant
identified by code. This type of comparison
serves two purposes. The first is to identify the
agencies with the lowest incidence rates so
they may be studied to gain insight into the
solutions of problems for others; the second is
to monitor the success of implemented coun-
termeasures.

A study was conducted to determine effects on
water quality from flooded paddies used for the
commercial culture of wild rice, Zizania
aquatica. Water sa/nples were taken from
flooded impoundments on fertilized peat and
mineral soils as well as unfertilized peat soils.
Weekly changes in the chemical and physical
parameters of water entering, within, and
discharged from paddies were measured
through the summer. No significant changes
were observed in the receiving waters until fall
draindown occurred when increases in dis-
solved solids, total Kjeldahl-nitrogen and total
phosphorus occurred in the Clearwater River.
Algal assay tests indicated that the increase in
nutrients at peak discharge was sufficient to in-
crease algal populations. The quantities of
nutrients released from rice paddies were not
significantly greater than would be expected in
normal runoff in the area and much less than
the amounts released from most agricultural
endeavors. Portions of this document are not

ject air pollution emissions for the metropolitan
St. Louis area. Two of the four methodologies
also forecast expected ambient air quality
levels. The purpose of the study was to sum-
marize the structure and nature of each projec-
tion methodology, to compare the numerical
projection results, and to discuss the relative
advantages of each methodology.

Water quality in the Bear River Basin was sur-
veyed from Aug. 27-29, 1974. The survey was
done to determine point and non-point source
loading, to see if water quality had improved
since adoption of the 1958 Enforcement Con-
ference pollution control measures, to deter-
mine cause and effect relationships between
major waste sources and receiving water quali-
ty, and to find out if major waste sources were
complying with their NPDES permits. Survey
results showed violations of Idaho Water Quali-
ty Standards for bacteria, turbidity, and dis-
solved oxygen. Levels of mercury and Lindane,
a chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide, were sig-
nificantly higher in the upper reaches of the
Bear River than recommended maximum
levels. Changes in BOD's and total colifprm
bacteria were noted, but there was insufficient
data available for these standards to evaluate
effectiveness of pollution control measures.
Nutrient loading was investigated and related to
algal productivity, but not all loading sources
were located. Other findings included the
realization that point sources did not ap-
preciably affect Bear River water quality except
in very localized areas.

The results of an intensive water quality survey

model for dissolved oxygen. Major sources of
oxygen demand included organic wastes from
municipal and industrial waste sources, surface
transfer of oxygen, in-stream biological oxygen

respiration of algae. The mathematical model
simulated the mean observed dissolved oxygen
with a maximum difference of 0.2 mg/l between

This report describes a Source Inventory and

designed to determine the precision of emis-
sion inventories. Through application of the
SIEFA program, users of the data generated in
an emission inventory will have at hand not only
the values derived from emission calculations
but a definition of their quality: that is. a state-
ment of the statistical precision of each value
and the precision of the overall emission inven-
tory. The SIEFA program is based on and is
compatible with the National Emissions Data
System (NEDS). In the report it is shown how
each precision value was derived and docu-
ment the basis for each assumption or estimate
involved. Where an emissions value is based on
several parameters, such as control device effi-
ciency, process thruput, or sulfur/ash content
of fuels, a statistical or engineering analysis is
applied to determine the precision of each
parameter. This report is presented in three
major parts: Part one develops precision values
for data on emissions from point sources; Part
two deals with emissions from area sources:
and Part three presents a system for compu-
terizing the quality analysis of emissions data.

Uranium mill tailings piles result in several
sources of radiation exposure. These expo-
sures are primarily from concentrations of the
uranium progeny thorium-230, radium-226, and
radon-222 in the tailings. Radon-222 and its
progeny are a source of external gamma and
lung exposure. Using the accumulation
technique, field measurements of the radon
flux from uranium mill tailings were made at
three mills and at one experimental plot. The
sample collection technique, method of calcu-
lating results, and reproducibility of the
technique are described. The exhalation data
(fCi/sq cm-sec) reveal that reproducibility is
within about 10 percent and that the variation is
less than the uncertainty associated with the
linear regression analysis of the accumulated
radon concentration versus time. Long term
measurements (greater than about 8 hours)
result in accumulated concentrations that ap-
proach the radon concentrations in the surface
soil gas, and invalidate the assumptions in-
herent in the accumulation technique.

This report documents the final year of a three
year study of hydrocarbon emissions during the
refueling of passenger vehicles. The objective
of the third year was the development of a
mathematical model for estimating the total
hydrocarbon losses from refueling operations
for an air quality control region over a specified
period of time. In order that the model could be
used readily by community planners and others
it was based on relatively easily obtained varia-
bles such as average Reid vapor pressure of the
gasolines used in the region and average un-
derground fuel and ambient temperature.

wherein a number of flame-ionization analyzers

This report presents recommendations and
supporting rationale on a measurement
methodology for portable air compressors. The
methodology provides for the determination of
A-weighted sound power level or the equivalent
weighted sound pressure level at a reference
distance. A-weighted level is used because of
its correlation with community response to
noise from internal combustion engine noise. It
is recommended, however, that the spectra as-
sociated with the regulated source be moni-
tored in some manner to insure that the spectra
remain similar to those for which A-weighted
sound level retains good correlation with com-
munity response. The methodology uses
weighted sound level measurements at eight
positions on a curved surface surrounding the
source at a distance of one metre from the sur-
face of the machine.

The report gives results of an investigation of
the effect of fuel sulfur compounds on nitrogen
oxides (NOx) emissions from premixed gaseous
flames. Laboratory measurements, using a
methane/air flat flame doped with SO2 or H2S,
showed that fuel sulfur inhibits the formation of
NOx arising from thermal fixation. This inhibi-
tion was significant at all air/fuel ratios and
especially at high air preheats. The effect of fuel
sulfur on formation of NOx arising from fuel
nitrogen oxidation is less clear because of com-
plex reactions between sulfur- and nitrogen-
containing species in both the flame and the
sampling probe. A mathematical simulation of a
flat flame was developed that showed that the
observed effect of fuel sulfur on •thermal NO'
could be explained by a kinetic mechanism in-
volving the catalysis of atom recombination
reactions by SO2. The experimental and
theoretical results may be especially significant
from a practical point of view, since they appear
to indicate that fuel desulfurization may lead to
increased NOx emissions.

The report gives results of a study of catalytic
desulfurization and denitrogenation, using
thiophene and pyridine as model compounds
because they represent some of the less reac-
tive organosulfur and organonitrogen com-
pounds. When thiophene is hydrodesulfurized
simultaneously with the hydrodenitrogenation
of pyridine (200 to 500C, 4.4 and 11.2 bars pres-
sure, commercial catalysts), the two reactions
are mutually inhibitive at lower temperatures. At
high temperatures, H2S (a hydrodesulfurization
reaction product) enhances the
hydrodenitrogenation rate. The report
proposes mechanisms to explain these obser-
vations. In hydrodenitrogenation of pyridine
and other heterocyclic nitrogen compounds,
the rate may be at least partly governed by the
equilibrium of the first step, the hydrogenation
of the N-containing ring.

Different analytical methods can be used to
determine a specific parameter, a preliminary
laboratory evaluation was made of those
methods least subject to interferences. All
analyses were conducted with a relatively con-
centrated leachate sample obtained from a
lysimeter filled with milled solid waste. The
results indicate that strong interferences are
sometimes encountered when using colorimet-
ric tests due principally to the color and
suspended solids present in leachate. In such
instances alternative methods were evaluated
or recommendations were made to reduce the
interfering effects. Automated chemical analy-
sis using colorimetric methods can sometimes
experience significant interferences.

on Lake Michigan. The introductory considera-
tions of Lake Michigan are presented in the first
section. The second section presents recom-
mendations toward objective quantification of
the effects of cooling water use through proper
statistical planning, study design, and data col-
lection. The remaining seven sections relate in-
formation the authors consider basic to an un-
derstanding of the effects of cooling use on
physical and chemical aspects, primary
producer and consumer communities,
macrozoobenthos, fishery, entrapped and en-
trained organisms, and radioecology of Lake
Michigan. All sections of the report attempt to
produce improvement in research design and a
trend toward standardization of results. In addi-
tion, questions are posed and ranked resulting
in numerical priorities with the intent to guide
research in those areas of knowledge which are
barriers to an adequate understanding of the
effects of cooling water use.

The report gives results of a study of the treat-
ment of wastewater, from a textile mill produc-
ing synthetic knit fabric for the apparel and au-
tomotive markets, with a system combining
biological (activated sludge) and chemical
(alum coagulation) processes. The treatment
consisted of: heat recovery; equalization;
completely mixed activated sludge with sedi-
mentation and nutrient supplement; and alum
coagulation with sedimentation, polymer addi-
tion, and pH adjustment. The activated sludge
process effectively removed degradable or-
ganics and ammonia nitrogen. The alum
coagulation process effectively removed col-
loidal organics, suspended solids,
ortho-phosphate, and certain metals. Total
treatment system removals for BOD, COD. and
color were 92. 73. and 69 percent, respectively.
Capital cost of the system was $1.15 million
with a yearly operating expense of $269,030, in-
cluding capital cost depreciation. Additional
treatment was required to meet anticipate'd
discharge limitations. Appropriate research
studies were conducted using carbon adsorp-
tion, resin adsorption, and ozonation for
residual, soluble color removal. Portions of this

developed. Field studies demonstrated that
estuarine sediments and overlying wastes
could contain significant concentrations of free
sulfides which are toxic to a variety of organ-
isms. Reid studies of benthic oxygen uptake
and benthic sulfide release were conducted.
Water quality profiles within the deposits also
were determined. A number of laboratory stu-
dies were conducted to determine the rate of
sulfate reduction. Results from experiments
using extracts from benthic deposits and algal
mats demonstrated a close relationship
between the rate of sulfate reduction and the
sulfate and soluble organic carbon concentra-
tions. A general systems model of estuarine
benthic systems was developed. A variety of ac-
tivities which could contribute to significant en-
vironmental changes with estuarine benthic
systems were identified.

for assessing the effects of chemicals on plants.
Plant exposure to air, soil, and water contami-

selected on the basis of physiology, anatomy,
importance as crops, and their susceptibility to
chemicals. Bioassay methods were chosen
because they are most representative of natural
conditions. The recommended sequence of test
procedures includes: growth chamber or

The report presents available information that
is used to examine the impact of water quality
required by Public Law 92-500 on the effluent
quality discharged from publicly owned waste-
water treatment plants and assesses the
adequacy of existing technology to meet these
requirements. The report also identifies effluent
standards that are more stringent than the na-
tional minimum requirement for 'secondary'
treatment. A major effort was, therefore,
devoted to reviewing state water quality stan-
dards, identifying all water quality limited
stream segments within each state, and sum-
marizing and evaluating concentrations of pol-
lutants in municipal wastewater treatment plant
effluents reported in the 1973 Needs Survey. A
comparison of existing technology with pro-
jected needs indicates that some form of
technology is available to achieve the required
removal of suspended solids nitrogen and
phosphorus. However, development and
demonstration of additional technology are
needed to reduce BOD concentrations to the
required limits and to provide alternate disin-
fection processes.

Methylation of applied divalent mercury ion was
found to occur in terrestrial soil systems. The
production of methylmercury was affected by
soil texture, soil moisture content, soil tempera-
ture, concentration of the ionic mercury
amendment, and time. Methylation was directly
proportional to percent clay content, moisture
content, temperature, and mercury concentra-
tion. After an initial buildup of methylmercury in
the soil, there appeared to be a mechanism that
decreased the methylmercury content with in-
creasing time:'

The relationship between carbon monoxide ex-
posure and heart attacks was studied in Bal-
timore, Maryland. Four hypotheses were tested:
(1) Is there a relationship between sudden
death and myocardial infarction and ambient
carbon monoxide levels. (2) Are post-mortem
carboxyhemoglobin levels higher for ASHO
sudden deaths as compared to sudden deaths
from other causes. (3) Are there differences in
postmortem carboxyhemoglobin levels
between ASHD sudden deaths and living con-
trols. (4) Is there any difference in the patholog-
ic characteristics of ASHD sudden death with
high or low carboxyhemoglobin levels. There
was no evidence of clustering of either myocar-
dial infarction or sudden ASHD on a specific
day, nor between the number of cases per day
and ambient carbon monoxide levels.

On the basis of current knowledge, chronic ex-
posure to carbon monoxide could influence the
onset or severity of a myocardial infarction by
two main mechanisms. (1) Animal experiments
have indicated that the atheromatous process
can be accelerated by sustained high carbox-
yhemoglobin (COHb) levels. (2) Once a corona-
ry occlusion occurs, the severity of ischemia
could be increased by the presence of carbon
monoxide even in relatively low concentrations.
There is very little evidence in man supporting
these hypotheses. This research was un-
dertaken to investigate patients admitted to the
Johns Hopkins Hospital Emergency Ward with
symptoms of chest pain, to determine if carbon
monoxide at admission might relate to the
severity of the infarct. The possibility that
chronic exposure might play a role in the
severity was also evaluated. Previously Johns
Hopkins issued a final report on the studies
relating carboxyhemoglobin and sudden death
in Baltimore, Maryland.

This study demonstrates that feeding liquid al-

to a small to medium (2.5 million gal per day)
activated sludge wastewater treatment plant is
a practical method of gaining several opera-
tional benefits. Specific benefits were found in
the areas of solids handling and ease of sludge
volume index control. Additional benefit was
noted in the concentration of aerobically
digested solids, particularly in cold weather.
Reduction of suspended solids carryout of
secondary clarifiers resulted from the sodium
aluminate feed, reducing the loading to the ter-
tiary treatment unit. Phosphorus removal in
amounts approaching 80% were achieved with
feed rates of 10 mg/liter as Al to the aeration
basins. The cost of alkaline alumina addition
was 2.6 cents per 1000 gallons of raw waste-
water flow.

The analysis of gases from nuclear power sta-

in several molecular forms. In this procedure,
tritium water vapor is collected in a freeze trap,
and 14C (as CO2) is collected by precipitation in
bubblers. Water vapor, hydrogen, carbon diox-
ide, and methane gas carriers are added to a
gas sample. The sample is drawn into the gas
analysis system by means of a vacuum pump
and is flushed through the system with purified
air. HTO is collected in a freeze trap at -80C.
and 14C02 is precipitated as barium carbonate
with freshly prepared barium hydroxide in a
bubbler. Water mist from the bubblers is then
removed from the gas stream as the sample
passes through a silica gel spray trap. The gas
is then passed through the catalytic oxidation
chamber, which converts the remaining gase-
ous hydrogen and carbon compounds to water
and carbon dioxide. The water is collected in a
second freeze trap, and the CO2 Is precipitated
in a second bubbler. The precipitates are then
transferred to glass vials and counted by liquid
scintillation as a suspension. Minimum detecta-
ble levels lor both 3H and 14C are 0.4 picocu-
ries per sample for samples varying in size from
1cc to 20 liters.

Polar deltas, typified by those on Alaska's North
Slope, which have their drainage basins totally
in the' permafrost region and discharge into a
polar sea, are significantly different from lower
latitude deltas. In the arctic, features classically
related to delta-front platform and slope facies
are not well defined and certain continental fa-
cies are either nonexistent or less well
developed. Except during occasional storms
the North Slope deltas are exposed to low ener-
gy hydraulic conditions. Mean size is the only
textural parameter that can be used to dif-
ferentiate sediments of the estuary, lagoon,
coastal beach, bay and open marine environ-
ments. Terrigenous input primarily determines
the clay mineral assemblage at any locality in
the river. However, differences between fluvial
and marine deltaic environments are discerni-
ble. Broad facies .variations within the
nearshore materials suggest that clay mineral
suites may be of use in explaining sediment
transport directions. Differences in the chemis-
try of arctic and lower latitude deltaic sedi-
ments are recognizable as well as are variations
among the subfacies of the arctic deltas.

The report describes the scope and magnitude
of water pollution problems caused by
hydrologic modifications (dams, impound-
ments, channelization, in-water construction,
out-of-water construction, and dredging).
Types of pollutants released by each class of
hydrologic modification are identified, and
quantitative estimates are made of the amount
of the major pollutant—sediment—that enters
the Nation's surface waters as a result of
highway and urban construction. Methods for
controlling the release of pollutants from
hydrologic modification activities, are
described, and the effectiveness of sediment
control measures is estimated. Two 'loading
functions' are developed for predicting the
quantities of sediment released from construc-
tion operations of given magnitude and loca-
tion. These functions are based on measure-
ments of sediment yields and other parameters
at 10 construction sites. The accuracy and
limitations of the functions are analyzed. Mea-
surement data from all classes of hydrologic
modifications are reported in the 42 case stu-
dies of field projects summarized in the appen-

Results of an experimental system for study of
landfill disposal of approximately 0.3 cum of
domestic refuse are provided. The study evalu-
ated not only traditional landfill decomposition
as represented by single pass of water originat-
ing from rainfall but also recirculation of the
collected leachate. Sewage sludge addition to
the solid waste and pH control of the recircu-
lated leachate were also evaluated. Biological
and physical-chemical methods for treatment
of leachates. especially those derived from the
stabilized solid waste undergoing leachate
recirculation were also evaluated. Analysis of
about three years of data indicated that
leachate recirculation was very beneficial in ac-
celerating the removal of at least the readily
available organics from the refuse and
leachate. This rate of removal, accomplished
over a period of months for the recirculated
units as compared to the traditional, single pass
unit, was further enhanced by the initial addi-
tion of sewage sludge and by pH control. The
leachate treatment studies indicated that either
aerobic or anaerobic biological processes suc-
cessfully remove leachate organics and that the
effluent residuals could be polished by ac-
tivated carbon adsorption and/or ion exchange
either separately or in combination.

Flow-through laboratory bioassays were con-
ducted with a domestic secondary sewage ef-
fluent that had been disinfected by chlorina-
tion, by Chlorination followed by dechlorina-
tion, and by ozonation. Effluent without disin-
fection served as a control. Disinfection with
chlorine and ozone generally maintained the ef-
fluent at total coliform levels of less than 1,000
per 100 ml. Lake Superior water served as the
diluent source for the experiments. Short-term
exposures were conducted with 13 species
(seven fish and six invertebrates), and long-
term (generation) tests were performed with
three species (one fish and two invertebrates).
In both series of tests the chlorinated effluent
was lethal at appreciably lower concentrations
than any of the other three effluent treatments.
Fish were more sensitive than the invertebrates
to the chlorinated effluent in 7-day tests.
Residual ozone rapidly decreased in the treated
effluent and was not measureable in the test
tanks. When special short-term test procedures
and shorter retention times for the ozonated ef-
fluent were used, measured residual ozone was
about as lethal to fathead minnows as residual
chlorine. The highest mean total residual
chlorine concentrations having no long-term
adverse effect on fathead minnows, am-
phipods, and Daphnia were 14, 12, and 2-4
micrograms/l, respectively. No daphnids sur-
vived at approximately 10 micrograms/l mean
total residual chlorine, a concentration that
corresponds to a chlorinated sewage concen-
tration of about 2.5%.

The ratio of the mass of an air pollutant emitted
per unit of land area in any given time interval
forms the basis of emission control regulations
based on land area. This report examines four
types of such regulations: emission allocations.
floating zone emission quotas, district emission
quotas, and emission density zoning. Ex-
perience with floating zone emission quotas in
Jefferson County. Kentucky and with emission
density zoning in Cook County. Illinois is ex-
amined. Legal issues relating to'equal protec-
tion and due process, and methodological corn
cems relating to the integration of land use
planning and air pollution control, are
discussed.

This report covers the next twenty-five years —
1975 to 2000, essentially from the perspective of
possible futures for the United States placed
within a world context. By exploring the uncer-
tainty of the near-term future and placing boun-
daries on it, the authors believe they have pro-
vided the environmental policy planner with an
important tool for anticipating issues and gaug-
ing the utility of policies designed to meet them.
The approach to the construction of the alter-
native futures entailed the projection of certain
driving, or key, trends over the next 25 years
and estimating the social, economic, and politi-
cal consequences of a varying combination of
their impacts. Certain key policy questions pro-
vided by EPA were placed in the context of
these futures and .conclusions were drawn
therefrom.

The beet sugar industry, SIC 2063, is composed
of 52 operating plants owned by 10 firms. Beet
sugar plants are old with 38 plants built prior to
1933. Nineteen plants have 55% of industry
capacity. Estimated after-tax return on sales
range from zero up to four percent depending
on plant size and campaign length. Prices are
indirectly controlled under the Sugar Act by ad-
justments in domestic production acreage and
impact quotas. Imposition of effluent limita-
tions are not expected to raise prices because
large portion of the capacity is at a near zero
discharge level. Ultimate price responses, how-
ever, are believed to depend on the Secretary of
1054
-------
December 1976
Agriculture's action on quota adjustments.
Potential closures due to imposition of zero
discharge standards are estimated to be 7 to 17
plants (8 to 26% of beet sugar production). A
discharge of .5 pounds BOD in 1977 for plants
without land available for control facilities of
zero for plants with available land is estimated
to cause 4 to 10 potential plant closures. A stan-
dard of .5 lr.s. BOD in 1977 and .3 Ibs. BOD for
plants with 2,300 daily tons of capacity or less
and/or a daily soil filtration rate of 1/16-inch or
less and zero discharge for all other plants in
1983 is estimated to cause 4 to 7 closures. Em-
ployment impacts of potential closures appear
to be small. Potential plant closures are likely to
be felt more by communities through the loss of
a high value cash crop by growers. Michigan
and Colorado are believed to be areas most
seriously impacted.

In an investigation of net feeding, 11 species of
fish captured in a double-net Tucker trawl were
examined. Stomach contents of fish retained by
a coarse mesh 'fish-catcher' in one net were
compared to contents of fish which had accu-
mulated with plankton in the cod end of the ad-
jacent net. Out of 19 species-collection pairs
(700 fish), there were significant differences in
number of prey items in stomachs of only three
species in five collections. Two pairs, fish from
the cod end and in three pairs, those from the
•fish-catcher' contained significantly more prey
than fish from the adjacent trawl. There were lit-
tle or no significant differences between trawls
in number of fish scales, prey diversity, or prey
size. These results suggest that literature data
on diet of mesopelagic fishes is not heavily
biased from net feeding and that existing col-
lections can be used for feeding investigations.

A general model of oil and gas development is
analyzed and each of the components is then
defined. The definitions are used as the basis
for making a series of assumptions that are es-
sentially a set of parameters of the components.
An appropriate set of assumptions is selected
that map the model onto each individual area of
the study to yield a development alternative.
Development alternatives are ranked cumula-

The report describes the physiology and ecolo-
gy of mercury-resistant and mercury-
metabolizing bacteria from Chesapeake Bay.
Evidence is presented which establishes a role
for bacteria in the cycling of mercury in the
estuarine environment. From the results of a
survey of elemental mercury production among
a group of randomly selected, HgCI2-resistant
bacteria and mixed natural microbial popula-
tions, it was established that the enumeration of
mercury-resistant bacteria by plate counting is
a valid index of potential Hg(-C) metabolism in
situ. The distribution of mercury-resistant bac-
teria was significantly different in water and
sediment, from station to station, and
seasonally: the proportion of Hg(-C)- resistant
bacteria among the total, viable, heterotrophic
bacterial population reached a reproducible
maximum in Spring and was positively corre-
lated with water turbidity, dissolved oxygen
concentration, and mercury • concentration in
the sediment. These findings suggest that bac-
teria may contribute substantially to the mo-
bilization and transformation of mercury from
existing deposits in Chesapeake Bay.

Experimental and theoretical investigations of
NO and NO2 formation and destruction in tur-
bulent hydrocarbon/air diffusion flames have
been conducted. Experimental results are
presented for turbulent diffusion flames of a
round jet of propane in a coflowing mildly
swirled, S =0-3, stream of air. Substantial con-
centrations of nitrogen dioxide were measured
and nitrogen dioxide appears to peak slightly
on the fuel rich side of the nitric oxide maxima.
Several mechanisms for the formation of
nitrogen dioxide in combustion systems are ex-
amined and the experimental results are
discussed with reference to these mechanisms.
The governing partial differential equations are
solved for the propane/air turbulent diffusion
flame. The predicted results from this analytical
model are compared with experiment; reasona-
ble agreement is obtained.

A comprehensive environmental study was car-
ried out for correlation of lead in multiple
sources with the increased blood lead of urban
children. In the three age groups, 2-5, 10-12,
and 14-18 years, urban children had higher
blood leads than their suburban counterparts,
although the difference decreased with age.
The increased blood lead correlated with in-
creased lead in the urban dustfall, yard soil and
boot tray lead. There was no significant urban-
suburban difference in air lead, housedust lead,
available paint chips or lead in milk and water.
Lead in yard dirt and blood lead both correlated
with residential proximity to traffic. Although all
blood lead were below 40 micrograms/dustfall
lead, there was a significant linear decrease in
red cell (rbc) membrane Na/K ATPase as blood
lead increased;, children with a blood lead
above 20 micrograms/dustfall lead had
decreased activity of rbc glutathione and in-
creased rbc G-6-PD and 6-PGD. The increase in
the latter two enzymes supports decreased rbc
survival at the level of lead exposure of urban
children.

Ten different ways of applying the Gaussian
plume diffusion model to represent air quality
in an urban area are compared. The different
techniques include different degrees of detail in
representing spatial and temporal variations in
emissions and in meteorological conditions.
The methods used to represent spatial and tem-
poral variations are described. It is shown that
some improvement results from the use of more
detailed spatial and temporal variations. It is
suggested that greater improvements would
result if more detailed measurements of emis-
sions and meteorological conditions were
available. The report places primary emphasis
on the use of the Sampled Chronological Input
Model (SCIM) as a computer program for the
multiple-source Gaussian plume diffusion
model; the characteristics of this program are

sewage sludge. While various polyelectrolytes
produced high treatment efficiencies in the
laboratory, these efficiencies could not be
achieved in full-scale tests due to inadequate
mixing and higher soluble BOD concentrations.
Sludges were successfully digested aerobically
with as little as ten days detention. An oxygen
uptake rate of up to 1.8 gm O2/(gm T.S )(hr)
was observed for sludge ages greater than 20
days. The recommended detention time of 20
days produced a solids content between 4 and

A comprehensive review is presented of irriga-

considered in improving irrigation water
management, leaching requirements, cli-

ing, scope of irrigation scheduling services in
1974, basic concepts of scheduling services
and probable effects of scientific irrigation
scheduling on salinity of return flows. A defini-
tion of irrigation water management efficiency
is presented to evaluate the annual volume of
irrigation water used relative to the optimum
amount needed for maximum annual crop
production or income. The term considers the
minimum, but essential water needed for both
consumptive and nonconsumptive uses. The
lack of significant changes in irrigation efficien-
cy during the past several decades is discussed
and attributed to problems associated with the
management of a complex soil-crop-environ-
ment system, a lack of economic incentives to
make improvements, and ineffective traditional
approaches to improve irrigation scheduling.
New proposed minimal leaching practices are
discussed.

A water quality analysis provided an environ-
mental sketch of factors primarily responsible
for basin water quality. Correlations between
flow and 12 parameters indicated that only 10 to
25% of parameter variation can be attributed to
stream flow. The daily nutrient loads passing
Northf ield. Mass, were estimated to be between
1.300-8.000 Ibs/day for ammonia nitrogen and
9,000-13.000 Ibs/day for phosphates: while at
Enfield. Conn, the ammonia nitrogen ranged
between 13.000-33,000 Ibs/day and phosphates
11.000-30,000 Ibs/day. The apparent anomaly
indicated in the N:P ratio at the two stations is
due to the high levels of ammonia-nitrogen
discharged into the river in the Springfield
Metropolitan area just above Enfield. Estimated
silt losses in the basin range from .75 million - 5
million Ibs/day with some areas experiencing
serious losses while other areas having little
problems. The report describes the physical-
chemical changes in water quality which occur
as a result of impoundments and presents a

The survey identified 358 sites at which direct
reuse of municipal wastewater was being prac-
ticed. Detailed data were gathered on volume,
effluent quality, treatment, reliability and
economics. It was found that direct reuse of
municipal wastewater was not widespread ac-
counting for less than 2% of this nation's water
use in 1972. Irrigation and industrial cooling ac-
count for virtually all of this reuse. Only three
sites practice reuse for recreational lakes, and
one for nonportable domestic use. Potable
reuse is not presently practiced. General quality
standards could not be derived for any catego-
ry. In fact, water which is substandard accord-
ing to published criteria is being successfully
used in many reuse situations by fitting the
water quality to the specific local condition.
Overall economic analysis was also difficult.
Storage and distance between supplier and
consumer were more important considerations
than quality and treatment. In general, the sup-
plier undercharged the consumer because
reuse was viewed as an inexpensive disposal
technique. There is significant potential for an
increase in reuse of wastewater in all catego-
ries: Increased publicity concerning successful
reuse is required to initiate this increase.

and monitored for effectiveness. The elimina-
tion of groundwater infiltration and restrictive
elevation tolerances associated with a conven-
tional gravity sewer system enabled this type of
sewer system to be installed and to function
economically. The treatment process, aerobic
and anaerobic lagoon storage with subsequent
irrigation of the effluent, yielded no more than
normal volume of runoff. Operational problems
with the pressure system resulted from ineffi-
cient home grinder-pump units. These
problems were greatly reduced when commer-
cially manufactured home units became availa-
ble. The treatment process functioned as an-
ticipated. Because of the new sewer system,
summer homes become year around re-
sidences and new home construction exceeded
expectations.

Yearling brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were
continuously exposed to toxaphene (0, 39, 68,
139,288, and 502 ng/1) in a flow-through diluter
system. Day length and water temperature were
altered monthly to correspond to natural condi-
tions. Adult growth was reduced in the 288 and
502 ng/l toxaphene exposures, and the added
stress of spawning activities caused extensive
mortalities in these concentrations. The num-
bers of eggs spawned and percent viability
were inversely related to increasing toxaphene
concentrations. All groups of fry exposed to
toxaphene had reduced rates of growth and
survival. Biochemical investigations on fry
backbones demonstrated that bone collagen
may be a sensitive Indicator of normal and ab-
normal growth and development prior to being
observed in the whole fish. Toxaphene was ac-
cumulated by brook trout 5,000 to 76,000 times

isomers of toxaphene were preferentially
stored. ~

The report gives results of an evaluation of the

improving capabilities for controlling fine parti-

mental information indicates that sonic ag-
glomerators can increase the mean particle size
of aerosols; .however, the energy requirements
are quite high when the gas stream contains
predominantly fine particulates. Even under
ideal conditions, energy consumption -would
range from 1 to 15 hp/1000 cfm. These ideal
energy levels are not very competitive with
other devices capable of removing fine particu-
lates, especially when a high efficiency control
system is required as a collector in order to
minimize energy consumption In the sonic eg-

endoplasmic reticulum without producing
hepatic disease were used. They were Newcas-

hepatitis virus in adult ducks. The microsomal
enzymes assayed were ethylmorphine N-
demethylase, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase
and anyline hydroxylase. The soluble enzyme,
nitroreductase, also was assayed in chickens.
Pesticide residue analysis was used to evaluate
indirectly the microsomal enzymatic conver-
sion of DDT to DDD and the soluble enzymatic
conversion of DDT to DDE in ducks. Viral repli-
cation did not increase the activities of the
microsomal enzymes and may have decreased
the activities slightly. Although the microsomal
enzymes were induced to greater levels by viral
replication, pesticide residue analysis failed to
demonstrate increased clearance-of residues
from body tissues.

Methods capable of detecting oil present as a
pollutant in waste water were selected which
are capable of measuring quantities of oil from
as small as those in a surface active film to mas-
sive accumulations. Detection techniques for
both thick and thin oil deposits were studied
and systems incorporating the most promising
ones were developed and tested. It was found
that more techniques can be adapted to the
thick oil than to the thin oil detection problem
because thick oil can be measured by electrical
and thermal conductivity devices which require
little maintenance in sewer use whereas detec-
tors of small amounts are somewhat less suited
to the sewer environment. The most promising
techniques developed used RF and heat con-
ductivity sensors for the detection of massive
oil accumulations from a few millimeters to
several meters thick and ultraviolet transmis-
sion sensors for the detection of dispersed oil
over the range of 5 to 10.000 parts per million.
The resulting instrumentation was tested in a
sewer environment and found to be capable of
unattended operation for periods ranging from
a week to several months. The instrumentation
was combined with telemetry to permit readout
at a remote central location.

This report describes investigations of the oil
trapping characteristics of inverted siphons as
part of a demonstration program for preventing
and eliminating oil pollution of the Buffalo
River. An extensive study was made of the
quantity and types of oil that accumulated in an
inverted siphon located in the Buffalo sewer
system at Memorial Drive and Gibson Street. Oil
detectors developed under the program and
their use for both automatic and manual mea-
surement of accumulated oil depths are
described. A telemetering system permitted oil
data to be transmitted to a remote monitoring
station located several miles from the siphon.
The report discusses in detail the spectroscopic
and chromatographic analyses of samples to
characterize the nature of the trapped oils.
Most of the trapped oil was of petroleum origin
and was traced to spills of fuel oil at a nearby
railroad terminal. The sampling program
demonstrated that inverted siphons are nearly
100 percent effective for trapping surface oils
and that the trapping efficiency for emulsified
oil carried in the bulk water is extremely low.
Described also are the results of tests made
with 1 /24 and 1 /12 scale models of the Memori-
al Drive siphon based on both Froude and
Reynolds scaling criteria.

The investigation reported herein concerns the
development and evaluation of a pneumatic
barrier for restraining the natural flow of sur-
face oils in the Buffalo River. The initial phase
of this study involved laboratory experiments to
evaluate the surface currents produced by
bouyant air-water plumes which were formed
by the injection of air through single and multi-
ple orifices submerged below the water sur-
face. Based upon the data obtained in the
laboratory experiments, a full scale, prototype
air barrier system was designed. This barrier
system was built and installed in the river. A full
scale test program was initiated in order to
evaluate the performance of the barrier. Follow-
ing the river test phase of the program, addi-
tional laboratory tests were conducted in a
water channel facility to investigate the per-
formance of a barrjer system at higher currents
and for different oil types than were available in
the Buffalo River. It was determined that a
pneumatic barrier could be an effective device
for stopping the flow of surface oils for currents
less than one foot per second. The actual limit-
ing speed for a particular oil was a function of
its viscosity and specific gravity. In no instance
was any oil that was tested restrained in a cur-
rent of more than 1.5 fps.

A thoroughly documented discussion of
methods for sampling and identifying pollutant
oils in industrial watercourses is presented.
Simple, yet quantitative, methods for retrieval
of oil slick specimens are described which are
usable on all types of pollutant layers, ranging
from near-zero thickness to inches in
thickness, irrespective of their degree of
weathering, emulsification, or admixture with
debris. Techniques which fail in such situations
are also described. An analytical scheme for the
determination of organic pollutants in industri-
al waters by chloroform extraction (below pH 8)
and carbon tetrachloride extraction (above pH
8) is demonstrated to be superior to more
generally used hexane extraction techniques.
Numerous examples illustrating the use of gas
chromatography and infrared spectroscopy for
pollution analysis are presented. Applications
of the various analytical methods considered
are discussed with specific reference to the
correlation of oil slick components with pollu-
tants in industrial outfalls; the evaluation of an
inverted siphon sewer as an oil trap; the evalua-
tion of an air barrier as a slick container; the
evaluation of surface oil skimmers;. and the
identification of spilled oils for enforcement ac-
tions. The burden of oily pollutants entering
and exiting the Buffalo River, and deposited
along its shoreline and in its sediments, is esti-
mated for the 1968-1970 period and compared
with available data on the river water quality as
early as 1964.

from the Northern Research and Engineering

for calculating single values of short-term con-
centrations, for calculating maximum values of
short-term concentrations, and for calculating
long-term average values of concentrations
were changed. The first change involved sub-
stituting a single direction only for the superim-
posed wind direction variability parameter. The
next two changes were handled jointly by cal-
culating long-term average concentrations
from a sufficiently large sample of single short
term values. The NREC model with improve-
ments still consistently underpredicted. Further
modifications (improved aircraft classification
system, improved aircraft operational modes
and pollution emission rates, improved details
of airport representation, improved environ
area source modeling and emission rates, more
representative depiction of line sources, and in-
clusion of major peripheral highways) were
then made. This model with above changes is
called the modified (GEOMET) model.

flow not in excess of 40,000 gallons per day,
with a turbidity of less than 11 JTU. using six-

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a chemical of widespread

indicate that it is a carcinogen. Additionally,
there is experimental evidence that indicates
that it may be a teratogen and mutagen. An in-
creased incidence of liver angiosarcoma. ex-
cessive liver damage, and acroosteolysis has
been reported among VC workers, and the
frequency and severity of the liver pathology is
related to the length of exposure. The principal
route of exposure is thought to be air inhala-

and UV-cured to a printable condition; and two
conventional inks and a trailing varnish are ap-
plied, followed by baking in a gas-fired wicket
oven. The conventional process is a two-line
operation: one line applies the white coating,
followed by the oven bake: the other applies the
two inks and varnish, again followed by an oven
bake. The Thor V process reduces total line
length by 215 ft (65M) and total solvent emis-
sions by about 66%. compared to the conven-

cluded many analytical, design, experimental.
and development subtasks. The design, fabri-
cation, and field testing of a pneumatic barrier
system was undertaken for restraining the flow
of surface oil in the Buffalo River, and laborato-
ry tests were performed to obtain performance
data under extended flow conditions. An exten-
sive sampling program to determine the dis-
tribution and characteristics of oil pollutants on
the river was carried out and various oil sam-
pling techniques were devised and evaluated.
In-sewer instruments for detecting thin and
thick surface oil films and oil in bulk water were
designed, fabricated, and tested in the Buffalo
sewer system. A telemetering system relayed oil
accumulation data to a central facility. Specifi-
cations for an oil and debris removal boat and
its associate equipment were prepared.
Methods were developed for evaluating oil
skimmer performance. The oil trapping charac-
teristics of inverted siphons were investigated.
Various oil boom configurations were evalu-

The report gives results of a performance test
and engineering analysis of a mobile-bed
scrubber on a full-scale coal-fired utility boiler.
The scrubber nominally operated at the design
paniculate removal efficiency of 95%, but the
concentration of submicron particles was
greatly influenced by mist entrainment. The en-
trainment resulted in a difference of aerosol
penetration through the scrubber as a function
of elemental composition and outlet submicron
particle concentration independent of pressure
drop through the scrubber. The variable con-
centration of submicron entrained particles
made the application of the penetration data as
a function of particle size to development of
performance models unfeasible. The engineer-
ing analysis showed that the 1972-installed cost
was $29/kw and the annual operating cost is 0.5
mills/kwh (75% availability). An initial decline in
scrubber availability after startup resulted from
now-corrected minor design problems, Steadily
improving reliability is attributed to the utility's
providing maintenance and solving operating
problems.

The report gives results of an engineering anal-
ysis of the applicability of molecular sieve
technology to the control of SO2 emissions
fronvsulfuric acid plants. After the equivalent of
10 months of operation, one plant using this
technology is still controlling SO2 emissions to
well within Federal and State regulations for
sulfuric acid plants. It is also meeting the per-
formance guarantee of the process developer
and vendor. Although the concept of a 2-year
sieve life with acceptable SO2 control has not
been demonstrated, there is no reason to be-
lieve that it cannot be achieved: at this point
this application of molecular sieve technology
appears technically feasible. The economic
feasibility of the technology for this application
was assessed by comparing its total capitalized
cost (including investment and operating cost)
with that of the Wellman-Lord and dual absorp-
tion processes. Capitalized costs for the three
are fairly close; .individual plant characteristics
will affect the economic choice. The technology
is more competitive for smaller plants and for
those which already have sieve-regeneration air
driers. Although the dual absorption process
will be the least expensive for many plants, it is
limited in Its effectiveness. Considering overall
cost and effectiveness, molecular sieve
technology appears to be economically feasible
for some acid plants.

is to describe the complex relationships
between emissions to the atmosphere, at-
mospheric dispersions and transformation
processes, and ambient concentrations of pol-
lutants. In addition, numerous corollary studies
are planned under the RAPS 'umbrella.' An ac-
curate, detailed and comprehensive inventory
of emission to the atmosphere constitutes a
basic input to this understanding. The RAPS
emission inventory was planned to provide far
more 'detailed information than has been availa-
ble anywhere in the past;.its aim is to obtain
hourly data for key pollutants based insofar as
possible, on measured values. Thus, emission
data should be available for a base period of a
year, commensurate in detail and accuracy with
data on ambient concentrations and
micrometeorological information gathered by
the Regional Air Monitoring Stations.

A national emission standard for vinyl chloride

under the authority of section 112 of the Clean
Air Act. Vinyl chloride has been implicated as
the causal agent of angiosarcoma and other
serious disorders, both carcinogenic and non-
carcinogenic, in people with occupational ex-
posure and in animals with experimental expo-
sure to vinyl chloride. Reasonable extrapola-
tions from these findings cause concern that
vinyl chloride may cause or contribute to the
same or similar disorders at present ambient air
levels. The purpose of the proposed standard is
to minimize vinyl chloride emissions from all

The report summarizes work done to compare a
computer model for estimating air pollution
concentrations from multiple sources with
measured SO2 and paniculate concentrations
and with other model calculations. The model is
capable of estimating short-term and long-term
concentrations, and produces results which are
equivalent in validity to results produced with
other models. Since the model represents
hourly variations in both emissions and
meteorological condition, the report considers
available sources of data and how these can
best be used to estimate parameters for the
model. Use of temperature and industrial and
commercial activity indexes to estimate
seasonal and diurnal variations in emissions is
discussed. Use of slow-rise balloon soundings
taken in urban areas is discussed as a possible
supplement to conventional weather data.
Finally, the applicability of using sampled cal-

The report gives results of a review of the Win-
kler coal gasification process, from the stand-
point of its potential for affecting the environ-
ment. The quantities of solid, liquid, and gase-
ous effluents have been estimated where possi-
ble, as well as the thermal efficiency of the
process. For the purpose of reduced environ-
mental impact, control systems, modifications,
and alternatives which could facilitate pollution
control or increase thermal efficiency are
discussed, and new technology needs are
pointed out.

The editors and 17 other authors probe the
state of the art of cost-benefit analysis as re-
lated to water pollution. They survey the exist-
ing literature on costs and benefits, discuss the
difficulties of measuring both. costs and
benefits, and suggest measures for overcoming
them, both from theoretical perspectives and in
terms of actual applications to practical situa-
tions involving pollution. Such questions as
how to assign monetary values to good health
and the perpetuation of life are confronted. The
authors discuss the implications for public pol-
icy from many angles-where the pollution
should be measured, who should pay (and how
much) for water pollution abatement, whether
pollution reaches a 'point of no return' after
which bodies of water can no longer be cleaned
up, what control mechanisms are feasible, and
whether Institutional changes are needed to
take account of the 'common property' feature
of natural resources. The chapters are based on
a 1973 symposium sponsored by the Environ-
mental Protection Agency.

The report gives results of an experimental and
analytical investigation of chemical
mechanisms involved in the conversion of fuel
nitrogen to NOx in combustion. The pyrolysis of
fossil fuels and model fuel nitrogen compounds
was investigated, droplet and particle com-
bustion models were developed, and premixed
flat-flame burner experiments were conducted
to study the conversion of HCN and NH3 to NOx
in low-pressure CH4-O2-Ar flames. Decomposi-
tion rates and products were measured in heli-
um from 850 to 110OC for pyridine, benzonitrile,
quinoline, and pyrrole; products were mea-
sured for six No. 6 fuel oils, one crude oil, and
two coals. HCN was the major nitrogen-con-
taining pyrolysis product: the amount formed
increased with temperature. NH3 was a minor
product and little if any N2 was formed. The
burner experiments demonstrated that fuel NO
forms relatively slowly above the luminous zone
in the same region where CO is oxidized to CO2
or later. Although HCN and NH3 gave similar
yields of NO, the NH3 reacted very early in the
flame front; most of the HCN survived the lu-
minous zone and then reacted slowly. A
mechanism was proposed in which fuel NO
forms via the reaction: O -tNCO =NO -(CO.

The report, in guideline form, is an outgrowth of
discussions by members of a working group of
EPA/IERL-RTP personnel, contractors, and in-
dependent experts who met to develop uniform
procedures for the field use of inertial impac-
tors to determine particle size distributions
from industrial particulate sources. It is in-
tended to promote individual tests of similar
quality so that valid comparisons may be made.
It is emphasized that this document is for
guidance only, and is not a set of rules.
Techniques for measuring particle size in sta-
tionary sources are too new, and too few testing
situations are the same. Professional judgment
is still the most important element in success-
fully determining fractional efficiency. The re-
port discusses the preliminary survey, the sam-
pling apparatus, testing procedures, and data
analysis. The information applies to cascade

discharges from urban areas. A 3.9 million gal-

was constructed to intercept overflow from a
570 acre segment of the City's combined sewer
area. As part of the evaluation program, an ex-

was conducted, using eleven automated moni-

vided data used with a mathematical detention
tank model to evaluate performance of the pro-
ject detention tank and provides a basis for
other design and planning situations. Based
upon approximately five years of data and
modeling studies, detention tanks were shown
to be effective in preventing a large portion of
the contaminants found in combined sewer
overflow from entering receiving waters.
General information and methods for sizing
and estimating costs of detention tanks for
other areas have been developed.

A system was developed and facilities were in-
stalled at Interiake, Inc.. Chicago Blast Furnace
Plant, to treat, clarify, cool, and recirculate the
blast furnace and sinter plant wet scrubber ef-
fluents in one unified system, in order to effec-
tively re-use these waters and eliminate their
discharge into the Calumet River. Prior to recir-
culation of scrubber waters, the concentration
of contaminants (specifically suspended solids,
hexane solubles, ammonia nitrogen, cyanide
and iron) in effluent waters consistently ex-
ceeded the Illinois code limitations with gross
contaminant discharges totaling about 4,100
tons per year. The contaminant intake from the
river was about 2,900 tons per year, so the net
contaminant discharge to the river was 1,200
tons per year or about 2 pounds per ton of hot
metal produced. After the recycle system was
placed in operation, the gross contaminant
discharge decreased to 1,900 tons per year, and
the net discharge became a negative quantity.
The construction cost of the unified blast-fur-
nace and sinter plant recirculating system was
$1,109,400 for this 2-furnace plant producing
about 3,200 tons of hot metal and 3,300 tons of
sinter per day. Operating costs are about
$285,000 per year higher than the costs of
operating the old 'once-through' water system.
Elimination of dredging costs, and increased

The report gives results of a project intended to
demonstrate the use of a dry, solid-media heat
exchanger for the production of hot blast air for
the cupola as an integral part of the air pollu-
tion control system. Economic advantages—in
the form of reduction in fuel costs, operating
costs, and air pollution control equipment
costs—were expected. Data on the operation of
the cupola and heat exchanger were to be
analyzed with, and used to refine, a computer
model. The refined model was then to have
been used to extend the results to other opera-
tions. The system never became operational
because of problems in interfacing the opera-
tion of the cupola, heat exchanger, and air pol-
lution control systems. The report outlines
system design deficiencies, presents the results
of the work completed on the computer model,
and describes the test equipment selected.

Despite continuing sewage treatment plant
construction. New York Harbor has had a 10%
annual increase in coliform pollution since the
early 1950°s. It is suggested that this increase
might be due to ah 'aftergrowth' of the organ-
isms in the receiving waters stimulated by
nutrients such as phosphate or nitrogen com-
pounds in secondary treatment effluent. Using
data on various streams with improved waste
systems a study was made to determine
whether similar coliform density increases were
occurring and if they could be correlated with
phosphate, detergent, or other pollution
parameters.

The Questor emission control system can

The Questor system causes a considerable loss
in fuel economy in stop and go driving. There
appears to be, however, potential for reducing
this penalty by modulating air injection as a
function of engine load which would allow le-
aner calibration. Paniculate emission levels
from the Questor system appear to be lower
than those from conventional systems using
lead fuels. Future testing will be required to
verify the preliminary results.

The waters are suitable, with treatment, for mu-

are limited in the lower reach because of bac-

The report gives results of an engineering anal-
ysis of the applicability of molecular sieve
technology to the control of NOx emissions
from nitric acid plants. Field test data from a
plant using this technology show that, after 6
months of operation, the plant still controls
NOx emissions to well within the New Source
Performance Standard (NSPS) (1.5 kg of
NOx/melric ton of acid; equivalent to about 200
ppm NOx in the tail gas). Field test data from a
second plant, 10 months after start-up, show
that NOx emissions are below the NSPS, even
though the sieve had been accidentally
damaged. The process appears able to achieve
an average effluent NOx concentration of 50
1074

ppm, based on tests at the former plant; how-
ever, this concentration was not achieved dur-
ing the tests at the latter plant because of the
damaged sieve. Although a 2-year sieve life has
not been demonstrated, there is no reason to
believe it cannot be achieved, and it appears
that molecular sieve technology is technically
feasible. The economic feasibility of molecular
sieve technology for this application was as-
sessed by comparing this technology with the
catalytic reduction and extended absorption
processes, both of which usually limit effluent
NOx concentration to only about 200 ppm. The
capitalized cost for the molecular sieve process
is higher than for catalytic reduction and lower
than for extended absorption.

This work was undertaken to search for
preparative procedures for PAN, to study its
structure and properties, and to elucidate more
clearly the nature of its formation and decom-
position. An ideal preparative procedure for
PAN had been found, high yields of PAN have
been obtained, and a satisfactory preparative
g.l.c. technique has been adapted for its purifi-
cation. The results of the synthetic studies tend
to confirm prior conclusions, but the decom-
position of PAN does not proceed entirely the
way previously described. The results from this
research indicate that the acyl and acylperoxy
radicals are precursors to PAN in photochemi-
cal environments containing acyl derivatives,
NOx, and oxygen. In contrast to prior investiga-
tions, however, several decomposition
products of PAN have been found that were not
previously reported, that is, hydrocarbons and
oxygen have been found as products in the
present study. Additional characterization data
has been obtained that corroborate the struc-
ture established for PAN.

Modifications, testing, and further development
of the Pesticide Transport and Runoff (PTR)
Model have produced the Agricultural Runoff

simulates runoff, snow accumulation and melt,
sediment loss, pesticide-soil interactions, and
soil nutrient transformations on small agricul-
tural watersheds. The report discusses the
major modifications to and differences between
the PTR and ARM Models. Instrumented
watersheds in Georgia provided data for testing
and refinement of the runoff, sediment and
pesticide portions of the ARM Model. Com-
parison of simulated and recorded values in-
dicated good agreement for runoff and sedi-
ment loss, and fair to good agreement for pesti-
cide loss. Pesticides transported only by sedi-
ment particles were simulated considerably
better than pesticides that move both in solu-
tion and on sediment. A sensitivity analysis of
the ARM Model parameters demonstrated that
soil moisture and infiltration, land surface sedi-
ment transport, pesticide-soil interactions, and
pesticide degradation are the critical
mechanisms in simulating pesticide loss from
agricultural watersheds.

The report gives results of an evaluation of the
concept of using electro-fluidized beds for fine
particle collection. A simple model was
developed to describe the interaction between
an aerosol stream and the bed material. Overall
collection efficiency of the device was theoreti-
cally predicted from single target efficiency
values based on electrostatic and inertia!
forces. Maximum predicted overall collection
efficiencies range from 96% for a 1 micrometer
aerosol particle to 85% for a 0.5 micrometer
aerosol particle, with collector bodies of size
100 micrometers, an availability factor of 0.1,
and fluidization velocities of 0.5 ft/sec. An in-
crease in fluidization velocity or a decrease in
collector number density (i.e., larger collector
bodies) diminishes the overall collection effi-
ciency for the conditions used in this investiga-
tion. The performance of the electrofluidized
bed depends upon the interaction of the elec-
trostatic forces and bed dynamics. The inherent
instability of solids flow patterns in gas-
fluidized beds may limit the collection efficien-
cy that can be achieved.

This report presents the results of gamma
radiation surveys conducted by the Office of
Radiation Programs at twenty inactive uranium
mill sites in the Western United States. The pur-
pose of these surveys was to measure the ex-
tent to which radioactive material had been
spread into the environment from the sites by
the action of wind and/or water erosion, and by
milling activities. The results indicate that hun-
dreds of acres of land exclusive of the tailings
piles have been contaminated to above-
background levels. Some of the contaminated
land is private, off-site property. Survey
techniques were developed to locate the spread
radioactive materials and to estimate the
gamma exposure rates resulting from them.
These measurements were complicated by the
presence of direct gamma radiation from the
tailings piles. Iso-exposure rate lines were
located around each site and plotted on site
maps to facilitate site decontamination deci-
sions.

evaluation of the Air Pollutant Emissions Re-
port (APER) as a data gathering system for
emission inventory and compliance evaluation
tasks. Users of the system in EPA Regional Of-
fices provided information concerning the
types of projects for which the form is em-
ployed and the problems which have been en-
countered in its use. Many of the problems re-
lated by APER users were inherent to any
generalized data gathering system which must
apply to a wide variety of industrial sources.
The results of this evaluation led to recommen-
dations for modifications and improvements to
the APER system. Several types of alternative
systems were proposed and appraised by an
additive weighting technique. Portions of this

selected for analysis represent about 60% of the
total treatment capacity of the region;, in-
dividual plant capacities range from 35,000 to
120 million gpd (133 to 456.000 cu m/d). In ap-
plication of the methodology, various sludge
management alternatives are analyzed in terms
of technical feasibility, costs, environmental im-
pacts, sociopolitical implications, and other
factors pertinent to regional-scale planning.

A computer model is developed to rapidly simu-
late dissolved oxygen content in the Cuyahoga
River under varying conditions of flow and
biochemical oxygen demand. It is composed of
three separate models: Model I is based upon
Streeter-Phelps equations (Streeter and
Phelps. 1925): Model II is a revised and ex-
panded version of the Delaware Estuary finite
difference model (Thomann, 1972); and Model
III is a time-variant model. These models, which
have been used to simulate present and pro-
jected dissolved oxygen levels for the entire
length of the Cuyahoga River, show that the
municipal and industrial treatment programs to
be implemented by 1978 will result in improved
dissolved oxygen conditions in the Cuyahoga
River. However, run-off and benthic oxygen de-
mand will still result in a severe oxygen sag in
the navigation channel during summer low
flows.

This study assesses the technical feasibility of
storing nonradioactive hazardous wastes in un-
derground mined openings. The results show
that a majority of the wastes considered can be
stored underground in an environmentally ac-
ceptable manner if they are properly treated
and containerized. Various mine environments
in the United States are applicable for such
storage;.room and pillar mines in salt, potash.
and gypsum appear to be the most favorable.
Although the underground storage and
management of hazardous waste is both
technically feasible and environmentally sound,
further and more detailed research, including
an economic evaluation, is recommended.

The report gives results of an assessment of the

available water treatment processes. Although
scrubbers normally operate in a closed-loop
mode, this study investigated liquor reuse if a
scrubber purge became necessary as a result of
off-design or other operating conditions.
Chemical characterizations were performed on
liquors from four different scrubbers; these
were assessed for use as power plant service
water or for direct discharge. Treatment is
required for either use; but, in most cases '(for
economic reasons), treatment for discharge is
not recommended. Chemical precipitation
(e.g., lime-soda softening, filtration, and pH
control) is adequate for rriost service water
usage cases. The applicabilities of available
treatment systems are given, in addition to
scrubber flow diagrams, water balance, and

The review examines the policies, procedures
and performance of the Agency in keeping inef-
fective products from being formulated, mar-
keted or used. Because of their toxic charac-
teristics, most pesticides pose some threat to
man or to the environment. The goal of EPA
regulation of pesticides is to ensure that the
benefits provided by use outweigh the negative
effects. For this reason the Agency is con-
cerned with efficacy, the degree to which a
pesticide product is capable of providing
beneficial results.

recorded on the site. Traffic was monitored for
1-hour periods before and after games. Grab
samples of CO were also obtained during the
one hour periods before and after games. No
violations of the 1-hour national ambient air
quality standard for CO were observed. Highest
concentration occurred immediately after the
games. Traffic was observed to clear out within
about 30 minutes after a game. Some of the
data suggest that a less efficient system of traf-
fic controls may result in violations of the 1-
hour national ambient air quality standard in
certain locations.

From 1958 through 1973 asbestos-containing
material was used extensively for fire-proofing
high-rise office buildings. Earlier use of this
material for decorative and acoustical purposes
dates from the mid-1930's. Concern exists that
these past uses of asbestos may lead to current
contamination of building air. This may occur
either through damage or erosion of acoustical
spray materials or through erosion into building
air supply systems of asbestos fibers from
spray-lined plenum spaces in office buildings.
In order to assess such possibilities, 116 sam-
ples of indoor and outdoor air have been
analyzed for asbestos. Nineteen buildings in
five United States cities were chosen to
represent the various construction uses of
asbestos-containing spray materials. The
results of this sampling and analysis demon-
strate that significant contamination can occur
in the air supply systems of buildings in which
fibrous type-dry spray asbestos-containing
fireproofing materials were used. Moreover.
erosion of similar materials applied for decora-
tive or acoustical purposes was also found to
occur. In contrast, no contamination was
demonstrable in buildings in which cementi-
tious spray material had been used.

The application of benefit-cost analysis in the
registration of chemical pesticides is
developed. A comprehensive benefit-cost
system, designed to be used both in the regis-
tration of new pesticides, as well as in the rere-
gistration of existing pesticides, is described. It
is a workable system, not an ideal one; that is. it
reflects the current state-of-the-art and it uses
the presently available data. As technology im-
proves, more data become available, and
knowledge increases, components of the
system can be upgraded to reflect these
changes. Nevertheless, the present system is
intended to provide convenient, summary for-
mats of the most prominent indicators of
benefits and costs, so that all benefits and
costs, especially those which are conceptually
and empirically difficult to measure — such as
long-term human health and indirect environ-
mental effects — are formatted and depicted in
the most comparable presentation possible.

The subject of this summary is a study of the
development of strategies for managing the
residuals that result from human activity.
Residuals - 'leftovers' that inevitably result from
all human activity - are often referred to as
wastes or pollutants. The idea of residuals
management includes both the concept of
waste management and pollution control. This
study contains step by step guidelines for
identifying alternate residuals management
strategies and then evaluating and selecting a
strategy. The selected strategy will provide
decision makers with an economical and effec-
tive means of solving their problem.

developing and evaluating strategies for
residuals management. It is based on the con-
cept that wastes (material and energy residuals)
which adversely affect the environment are
generated as a result of all human activity.

A methodology was developed in this report for
use in the evaluation of alternatives for the ulti-
mate disposal of residual wastes generated in
municipal wastewater treatment plants. This
methodology considered technical, economic,
social, and institutional factors pertinent to a
thorough review of alternatives. Residual
wastes generated in municipal wasteswater
treatment plants were characterized. Handling
and treatment processes for the residual wastes
were discussed and evaluated in light of
qualitative and quantitative changes to the
residual wastes. Liquid, gaseous, and solid
sidestreams produced in residual waste treat-
ment were evaluated and rail, pipeline, barge,
and truck transport of residual wastes were
analyzed. Environmental, operational, and in-
stitutional constraints to the use of ocean
disposal, lagoons, sanitary landfills, sludge
recycling, and land reclamation were
presented.

This report presents the results of a study to
develop a numerical model to accurately calcu-
late the trajectories and concentrations of reac-
tive pollutants emitted from localized sources.
The numerical model employs the solution of
the full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equa-
tions along with the solution of the species den-
sity equation by summing over Lagrangian
mass points. The mass points are transported
by the mean wind field and moved with a ran-
dom walk technique that simulates the turbu-
lent diffusion. The effect of chemical reactions
are modeled by reweighing the Lagrangian
mass points. The equations are solved for re-
gions of space where terrain features or
buildings may cause strong distortions in the
flow field. The numerical techniques are
verified by comparisons with analytic formulas,
including the boundary layer above a plate and
the Gaussian plume. The method was used to
calculate photochemicalty reacting plumes
using a simplified inorganic photochemical
reaction model. Portions of this document are

Atmospheric emissions from the gas
processing industry originate from compressor
and pump engines, boilers for process heating
and solution regeneration, and gas
'sweetening', the removal of hydrogen sulfide
from the natural gas. This research effort con-
cerned itself only with emissions from gas
sweetening processes, primarily the amine type
processes because of the widespread use of
amine processes to the exclusion of other
sweetening processes. Emissions from gas
sweetening are the combustion products of the
acid waste gases following their removal from
the raw natural gas. and include sulfur dioxide
with negligible emissions of participates,
nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide. An emissions factor for SO2 was
developed. SO2 emissions from gas sweetening
are directly proportional to the mol percentage
of H2S in the intake gas to the sweetening
plant Emissions are calculated by multiplying
the whole number representing mol percent
H2S by the factor 1685 to get pounds of SO2 per
million cubic feet of intake gas sweetened.
When the concentration of H2S is not known, a
table is presented giving average H2S concen-
trations in gas produced in Air Quality Control
Regions. New Source Classification Codes are
proposed for the industry. A list of over 1.000
gas processing plants is presented with notes
on their emissions.

The information published concerning the
behavior of ruthenium in plant and soil systems
is reviewed and areas needing further in-
vestigation are identified. Studies in the litera-
ture indicate that ruthenium is one of the most
chemically complex elements, thereby chal-
lenging the initiative and investigative abilities
of both physical and biological scientists.
Ruthenium can become extremely mobile in
soils at one time, and then become tightly
bound the next. The retention and binding of
ruthenium on soil colloids and other environ-
mental media have been demonstrated to be
both a physical and chemical phenomenon;
however, these binding mechanisms have lar-
gely remained unidentified and uninvestigated.
Evidence indicates that ruthenium can become
incorporated into plants through either a root
or foliar exposure.

This research program was initiated with the
overall objective of determining design and
operational criteria for incinerators that can ef-
fect complete thermal degradation of pesti-
cides. An experimental incineration system was
designed and constructed to evaluate the effect
of operational variables (rate of pesticide injec-
tion, percent excess air, operating temperature,
and retention time) on the efficiency with which
organic pesticides can be incinerated. This
system included a pilot-scale incinerator (45.4
kg/hr (100 Ib/hr) Type 1 waste capacity), a
three-stage scrubber, and a scrubber water
treatment system. Nine pesticides in 15 liquid
and solid formulations were tested by injection
into the primary combustion chamber. The
pesticides studied were DDT, aldrin, picloram,
malathion, toxaphene, atrazine, captan, zineb.
and mirex. Results of the incineration test were
evaluated in terms of the efficiency of active in-
gredient destruction, i.e., the percent of the
pesticide destroyed. A set of operating condi-
tions (temperature, retention time, and excess
air rate) was developed from comparable
results for all 15 formulations which is believed
to be applicable to the incineration of all or-
ganic pesticides. Copyright (c) National Techni-

Precipitation samples were collected at six lo-
cations around Lake Michigan and analyzed for
the different forms of phosphorus present. It
was found that the atmosphere is presently
contributing one million kilograms per year of
phosphorus or about 18 percent of the
phosphorus budget of the Lake. As the
phosphorus removal program on sewage ef-
fluents becomes fully implemented in the Lake
Michigan basin, the contribution to the Lake of
phosphorus from paniculate matter scavenged
by precipitation could increase to about 30% of
the total. The phosphorus concentration of
precipitation was found to be higher at the
southern end of the Lake. More than 40% of the
phosphorus in precipitation is dissolved reac-
tive phosphates and the amount of the dis-
solved phosphates in precipitation was found
to be somewhat dependent on the pH of the
sample.

The report covers the first phase of research
into the dependence of filtration efficiency on
filtration parameters and fabrics. It gives results
of laboratory tests of three types of polyester
fabrics and one polyamid fabric in the filtration
of cement and coal dusts with particles of mass
median diameter of 7.5 micrometers. Noted
during the tests were: the relationship between
the type of dust and filtration process parame-
ters; and the effect of electrostatic properties
on the filtration process. The dust filtration
process was classified into three filtration
types. The structure of filtration fabrics was
tested on the basis of air flow through 16 fabric
samples in two ranges of air flow velocity. The
stochastic character of air flow through the
fabrics was verified. Structural parameters of
the fabrics, as well as derivative parameters,
were measured and observed phenomena were
analyzed from an analytical viewpoint. The re-
port also covers results of cement and coal dust
electrification tests and fabric resistance mea-
surements.

The major objective of the program was the

measurement of aircraft turbine engine emis-

designed and built according to the specifica-
tions of the contract. The analysis system was
evaluated for reliability in the handling and ac-
curacy in the measurement of emissions. Using
the special analysis system, the variability in
gas turbine engine emission measurements
caused by the exhaust sample collection
technique was studied using a Pratt and Whit-
ney JT8D gas turbine engine. An exhaust gas
mixing technique and a detailed exhaust gas
cross section mapping technique were used for
the verification of average exhaust emission
concentrations. The variability in exhaust emis-
sion measurements produced by the direction
of approach to a power setting and the effect of
small variations in thrust and fuel flow on the
measurement of mass emission rates are deter-
mined. All emission data collected are ex-
amined for the effect of ambient temperature
and humidity.

In June 1974, the National Ecological Research
Laboratory initiated a field program in
southeastern Montana. The purpose of the pro-
gram is to assess the effects of a coal-fired
power plant on the terrestrial environment. Nu-
merous investigators have worked together on
this project to establish a baseline investigation
to characterize the environment around the
plant prior to operation. The report is a summa-
ry of activities from June through October.
1974. The overall objectives, rationale, and
design of the project are outlined.

Several studies were carried out on health and
annoyance reactions to community odor from
pulp mills and other industrial sources.
Questionnaires were used to collect informa-
tion from respondents on exposure to the odor
and on health and annoyance reactions. The
health reaction section of the questionnaire in-
cluded a symptom check-list and the basic
questions from the British Medical Research
Council's (MRC) questionnaire on respiratory
symptoms. Exposure to odor was also mea-
sured by dynamic plfactometry. In general, the
frequency with which odor was noticed and the
frequency and intensity with which respon-
dents were bothered by the odor are correlated
with odor intensity and frequency as measured
by dynamic olfactometry within each communi-
ty. It should, therefore, be possible to formulate
a quantitative relationship between measure-
ments of exposure to community odors and
measurements of community reactions. Further
refinement in methods and a larger number of
observations representing a broader span of
exposures are necessary to accomplish this.

The report gives results of experimental work
showing that wastewater from a textile dyeing
and finishing operation can be recycled. The
wastewater was run through a set of hyperf iitra-
tion membranes, which separated it into pu-
rified water and a very concentrated dye
residue fraction. Over the 15-month evaluation.
up to 90% of the wastewater was recovered and
was found to be a satisfactory substitute for the
normal water supply in all parts of the dyeing
operation. A total of 1.348 meters of first quality
fabric was produced during this period. The
concentrated dye residue can also be used to
dye fabric in the dyeing operation. The cost of
recycling the wastewater was projected to be
$0.121 per cubic meter of wastewater. However,
reusing the wastewater results in a potential
savings of $0.234 per cubic meter, offsetting the
operating cost. The textile industry presents an
excellent opportunity for recycling industrial
wastewater after treatment with hyperfiltration
membranes. The direct recycle will achieve pol-
lution abatement with significant reduction in
operating costs brought about by savings in
water, chemicals, and energy. Results are being
studied further by EPA at several other textile
plants in cooperation with the South Carolina
Textile Manufacturers Association and Clem-
son University.

Lead salts are an emission product from mobile
(or automotive) emission sources due to the ad-
dition of tetraethyl lead to gasoline. Because of
known toxic properties of lead salts, it has been
proposed that alkyl manganese compounds be
substituted as a fuel additive for tetraethyl lead.
With the introduction of platinum and palladi-
um in the catalytic converters of 1975-model
year vehicles, it is of concern to determine the
quantities of platinum and palladium metal and
salts which will be in emission products and the
biological effects of these compounds on mam-
malian tissues. Various parameters of toxicity
have been studied for salts of manganese, lead,
palladium, and platinum. Acute toxicities (LD-
50 doses) are reported for both intraperitoneal
injection and oral administration. Concentra-
tions of metallic ions following dietary adminis-
tration are reported, as are effects on weights of
five organs (liver, kidney, spleen, heart, testes).
Also following dietary administration, hepatic
microsomes were isolated and the following
parameters related to in vitro drug metabolism
were measured, yield of microsomal protein/g
liver, in vitro activities of aniline hydroxylase
and aminopyrine demethylase, content of
cytochromes P-450 and b5/mg microsomal
protein. Development of a rapid and convenient
method for the analysis of ribosomal RNA in

This report describes research conducted to
develop measurement techniques for panicu-
late emissions from aircraft gas turbine en-
gines. The ultimate goal was to establish op-
timum sampling procedures, parameters,
devices, and instruments to use for measuring
the mass of participates emitted from gas tur-
bines operating in the open atmosphere. On the
basis of a series of tests with a turboprop en-
gine and limited tests with turbofan engines,
researchers concluded that: (1) accurate
gravimetric measurements of engine particu-
late emissions can be made; (2) smoke number
(reflectance) measurements do not correlate
with gravimetric measurements of engine par-
ticulate emissions; and (3) as with smoke
number measurements, it is difficult to relate
gravimetric measurements of engine particu-
late emissions to ambient air quality standards.

During the three week period October 20-
November 7, 1975, ambient and stack sampling
for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were con-
ducted at a domestic incinerator in an effort to
quantify the levels of PCS emissions associated
with the incineration of domestic refuse. The
stack sampling was performed at an incinerator
equipped with an electrostatic precipitator
using a modified EPA Method 5 sampling train.
Xylene was used as the solvent for any gaseous
PCBs present in the effluent. Ambient sampling
was conducted, upwind and downwind of the
incinerator, using hexane as the solvent in
duplicate sets of three impingers in series. It
was concluded that the paniculate emissions
contain PCBs; however, the amount emitted

does not result in a measurable increase in ex-
isting ambient levels of PCS; the presence of
PCBs in the vapor state could not be
established because of contamination in the
xytene used as the solvent; and the use of hex-
ane as the absorbing reagent is appropriate for
ambient sampling.

experiences suspended paniculate levels well
in excess of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. This study formulates control strate-
gies which produce substantial reductions in
suspended paniculate levels and evaluates the
impact of these strategies in 1977 and 1980.
Because of the severity of the Los Angeles par-

background paniculate levels, the strategy for
standard attainment is of a very drastic nature.
This study formulates and recommends other
less drastic control plans for actual implemen-
tation.

The report is an in-depth study that attempts to
assemble, organize, and interpret present-day
information on selenium and its compounds,
and the effects of these substances on man,
animals, and plants. Emphasis is given to the
effects of selenium on man. conclusions are
drawn from the evaluation of current
knowledge on the subject, and recommenda-
tions are made for further research. Although
selenium is highly toxic in many of its chemical
forms, a number of factors suggest that it
probably is not a significant pollution problem.
The bulk of the industrial uses of selenium are
such that only small amounts of the element are
injected into the ecosphere. Burning of coal
and oil are estimated to account for nearly 70%
of the selenium emitted into the atmosphere,
but dispersion of selenium as a result of fossil
fuel combustion does not appear to be an im-
portant pollution problem. There is little
evidence to indicate any biomagnification of
selenium in the food chain.

and the end-of-the-line SO2 utilization facilities
(i.e., sulfuric acid, elemental sulfur, and liquid
SO2 plants) are also provided. The 13 U.S. pri-
mary copper smelters which currently still
generate weak SO2 streams have been
reviewed with reference to their current opera-
tion and active programs in hand to control or
eliminate weak S02 streams. Appropriate SO2
control processes have been matched with the
individual smelters and related capital and
operating costs have been developed from the
earlier established cost relationships.

The use of a ligand exchange process to.
remove ammonia from secondary treated mu-

ry study. A ligand exchanger consisting of
copper ions retained on a hydrous zirconium
oxide ion exchanger was examined. Its ability to
remove ammonia and subsequent regeneration
with low pressure steam was evaluated. The
main objective of the program was to optimize
the conditions to achieve maximum efficiency
and to determine the effect of other wastewater
constituents on the process. Initially, the
capacity of the hydrous zirconium oxide for
copper was examined to determine the condi-
tions for maximum copper loading. The capaci-
ty of this ligand exchanger for ammonia at vari-
ous pH's was measured. The effect of tempera-
ture and time on steam regeneration of the ex-
hausted exchanger was obtained. The effect of
specific inorganic ions on the process and the
effect of organics on the ligand exchange
process with steam regeneration was in-
vestigated. Exchange capacity after repeated
loading and recycling was measured. Finally,
the process performance was demonstrated
using lime clarified, secondary municipal ef-
fluent.

destruction, whereas scientific landfilling ap-
pears to be the best suited mode of disposal for
npnburnable contaminated solids. Zero
discharge objectives can be best achieved by
eliminating discharge streams and developing
recycle systems. All non-contact cooling water
would be segregated, cooled, and recycled. All
other wastewater streams would be pretreated.
The portion of the pretreated water which
would be used in the'plant would be treated
with carbon, while the excess water would be
incinerated in a specially designed system
which would allow for energy recovery. Sup-
porting data, rationale for the selection of
above recommended treatment technologies
and associated costs are contained in this re-
port. Even some oh air pollution control is
discussed along with the other pollution fac-
tors.

A comprehensive review of the literature
published since 1 January 1954 was conducted
to prepare this preliminary investigation report
on the physical and chemical properties of an-
timony (Sb) and its compounds, on the environ-
mental factors related to their consumption and
use, on the health and environmental effects
resulting from exposure to Sb and antimonials,
and on the regulations and standards govern-
ing their use. Antimony and its compounds,
although not ranked among the biggest volume
chemicals in the U.S., are industrially signifi-
cant because of their contribution to the manu-
facture of many commonly-used products,
such as alloys, paint, paper, plastics, and tex-
tiles. Antimony trioxide (antimony oxide) is
used to impart flame resistance to plastics, tex-
tiles, and other products. Antimony dusts have
been associated with the development of pneu-
moconiosis in miners and other workmen.
Some antimony compounds are toxic, or give
rise to toxic decomposition products, but no
serious occupational poisoning has been as-
sociated with the industrial use of antimony.

As part of a program for identifying potential
environmental hazards associated with various
branches of technology, a review of the litera-
ture on flame retardants for textiles has been
prepared. Covering the periods 1954-74, more
than 500 primary documents and consultations
with experts have been digested and cited.
Chemicals and chemical treatments which are
being used or have been proposed for produc-
ing flame retardant textiles are listed and
discussed. Particular attention is given to tox-
icological data, to observations of health ef-
fects and to studies of environmental fates and

effects of the materials which are used. The re-
port is divided into major sections in which
classes of natural and man-made textiles are
considered separately. Several chemicals are
identified as having their major application as
flame retardants for textiles. These include cer-
tain halogenated monomers, halogenated
phosphate esters, and formaldehyde deriva-
tives of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds.
The need for further studies of the fate and ef-
fects of these compounds is indicated.

This report presents the results of a 3-month
field study which was conducted to evaluate
four methods fordetermining visibility. Three of
the methods employed instruments to obtain
visibility related measurements: a telephotome-
ter measuring contrast between 'black' targets
and the horizon sky: a transmissometer mea-
suring light extinction over a folded horizontal
path of approximately one mile; two integrating
nephelometers measuring light scattering by
aerosis in a local volume of air. One
nephelometer was operated at a fixed location
throughout the duration of the field tests and
the other on occasions at random locations.
The fourth method used a trained observer esti-
mating visibility in four compass directions, and
this method was used as a standard for com-
parison. Measurements were made under a
variety of meteorological conditions and results
are classified by the range of relative humidity
under which they were obtained. The results of
this project identify the telephotometer as the
best choice of instrument for routine estimates
of daylight visibility as an indicator of air quali-
ty.

A study was carried out to evaluate the potential
for platinum, palladium, lead, and manganese
salts and oxides to be biochemically methy-
lated. Methylation is an important, well recog-
nized, determinant of metal toxicity; the striking
example being the extreme health hazard of
methylated mercury. The possible biological
methylation of the metals which are associated
with emissions arising from the use of automo-
tive fuels, fuel additives, and catalytic control
devices is of special concern to the Environ-
mental Protection Agency's Catalyst Research
Program. Salts of platinum, palladium, and
lead, and oxides of lead all containing the metal
in a -4 valence were observed to demethylate
methylcobalamin, a biologically active form of
vitamin B-12. Inorganic salts and oxides of
manganese were unreactive. No evidence for a
stable monomethyl-metal derivative was found
using palladium and lead compounds as reac-
tants. However, salts of platinum -4 do result in
the formation of stable methylation products.
The reaction product formed from methyl-
cobalamin and hexachloroplatinate was shown
definitively to be a monomethyl-platinum com-
pound. It is sufficiently stable in aqueous solu-
tions under a variety of conditions to exist in
freshwater ecosystems and to exhibit toxic ef-
fects on mammalian cells.

A versatile infrared analyzer employing gas-
filter correlation techniques has been designed
and constructed to measure concentrations of
pollutant gases from a variety of sources. The
spectral bandpass is determined by an adjusta-
ble grating assembly. By interchanging cell
windows, radiant energy sources, gratings, in-
terference filters, and detectors, nearly any
desired spectral bandpass between 0.3
micrometers and 11 micrometers can be ob-
tained. Spectral curves of transmittance can
also be scanned. A multiple-pass sample cell
provides sample paths between approximately
4 m and 40 m. Shorter sample cells can also be
employed. An H2O monitor measures the con-
centration of H2O in the multiple-pass sample
cell and automatically accounts for interference
by H2O in the measurement of other gas con-
centrations. Tests have been performed on the
measurement of formaldehyde, vinyl chloride
and ammonia. The minimum detectable con-
centration of formaldehyde in automotive ex-
haust is approximately 0.05 ppm.

This document describes a comprehensive

variety of materials. Materials included
weathering steel, galvanized steel, aluminum
alloy, paints, drapery fabrics, white sidewall tire

posure experiment was statistically designed
using a two-level factorial arrangement to
identify the environmental factors or combina-
tion of factors, or both, that cause materials
damage. Over 200 different direct and syner-
gistic effects were examined. The study
revealed that only 22 of the possible effects
were statistically significant at better than a 95
percent confidence level. Sulfur dioxide, rela-
tive humidity, and the interaction between
them, were the main factors causing effects. A
number of empirical functions were developed
that relate materials effects to various factors
causing the effects. An exceptionally good rela-
tionship was obtained for the corrosion of
weathering steel. The lack of statistical sig-
nificance that was found for the large majority
of effects that were studied is equally as impor-
tant as the significant effects. As a result a large
number of material-pollutant combinations
may be excluded from further detailed study.

mixtures. The mixtures were irradiated by ul-
traviolet fluorescent lamps while flowing at a
steady speed through a 9.12 m long and 15.2
cm i.d. Pyrex tube. The amounts of ozone,
nuclei, and aerosols generated in the gas-air
mixtures were measured at various points
along the tube by a chemiluminescent analyzer,
a condensation nuclei counter, and an aerosol
counter, respectively. Photooxidation experi-
ments with sulfur dioxide-air mixtures were
performed for five different initial sulfur dioxide
concentrations (0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1 ppm)
and for four relative humidities (25, 50, 75, and
100%). The data showed that the maximum
number of nuclei produced is directly propor-
tional to the initial sulfur dioxide concentration
and to the square of the relative humidity. There
were no measurable amounts of aerosols ob-
served during the tests. Experiments with
cyclohexene-nitrogen dioxide-air mixtures
were performed with the initial cyclohexene
concentration ranging from 0.5 to 50 ppm and
the initial nitrogen dioxide concentration from
0.6 to 10 ppm.

One type of new source is the indirect source.
This document presents a screening procedure
that may be useful in assessing the maximum
impact of a proposed indirect source on road-
side concentrations of carbon monoxide. The
screening procedure is intended to be conser-
vative so that if no potential problem is
identified, there may be reasonable assurance
that none will occur. Specific suggestions are
made concerning estimation of carbon monox-

operating parameters found to be statistically
significant in reducing asbestos emissions
were: bag fabric, waste type, air-to-cloth ratio,
relative humidity, period between shakes and
duration of shaking, and shaking amplitude.
Values of these operating parameters are
recommended for industry usage to signifi-
cantly reduce outlet concentrations of
asbestos. These operating conditions resulted
in pressure drops across the fabric filter that
were quite reasonable. The most economical
alternatives of cotton sateen bags, high air-to-
cloth ratio, and low pressure drop operating
conditions were found to be among the most
significant in reducing asbestos emissions.
Among the recommendations are: an air-to-
cloth ratio of 1.22 cu m/min/sq m (4.0 cfm/sq
ft), a combination of period between shakes of
120 min with a shaking duration of 20 sec, and a
shaking amplitude of 3.500 cm.

The report gives a methodology for evaluating
the engineering and cost implications of con-

water discharge systems of thermal-electric
generating plants within the contiguous U.S.
The procedures give (to persons not skilled in
cost engineering) a means of preparing prelimi-
nary cost estimates from conceptual or design
drawings. The user should, however, have a
technical background and be familiar with
once-through cooling water discharge systems.
Principal construction elements of discharge
system construction and modification are
identified and grouped into categories. Materi-
als and installation methods are discussed for
each construction element. Data is given on
labor, materials, equipment, and productivity
assumed in unit cost development. A step-by-
step procedure is given for: (1) estimating con-
struction costs, and (2) resolving construction
costs into project and annual costs. An example
is shown using the methodology: the result is
compared with actual construction costs for
modifications to an existing discharge system.

This report describes the hazardous waste

factory-applied coatings facilities. Site surveys
of 70 paint plants showed that raw materials
packaging, cleaning wastes, dust from air pol-
lution abatement equipment, and waste
product are the major process wastes which are
generated. Approximately 105,000 tons per year
were determined by the contractor to be poten-
tially hazardous due to either the oral toxicity or
flammability of waste constituents. The vast
majority of the paint industry wastes are com-
bined in a single waste handling system and
discarded in off-site landfills by private contrac-
tors. The best technology currently applied
along with the technology required to provide
environmentally adequate treatment and
disposal for each waste stream are also pro-
vided in the report along with attendant costs.
Contract operators reclaim about 270 kkg
(300,000 tons) per year of waste organic sol-
vents generated by the manufacture of paint
and coatings, metals finishing, degreasing
operations, etc. Distillation and evaporation
units generate still bottoms as a process waste
which represents roughly 25 percent of the
feedstock. Most of the still bottoms is in-
cinerated with the ash deposited in landfill.
Roughly 45,000 manufacturing establishments
have attendant coatings operations in this
country. Wastes are generated and, in general,
transported by contractors to off-site landfills.

placed fuels were evaluated. These included:
equipment constraints, business constraints,
and fuel transportation constraints. From these
evaluations, the quantities of misplaced fuels
were identified which are not limited by any of
the constraints, and therefore which can be
considered suitable for switching.

The role of the micrpsomal oxidase enzymes
(MFO) in the biochemistry and toxicology of in-
secticides has been studied. Insects contain
greatly varying litres of these enzymes. A survey
of 74 species from 40 families in 8 orders, using
the topical LD50 of carbaryl alone and together
with the inhibitor piperonyl butoxide showed a
55,000-fold variability in LD50 largely due to
MFO detoxication. In individual species of Dip-
tera, MFO activity is highly variable with age,
sex. and stage of development. The DDT-type
molecule has been as a model for the study of
degradophores, i.e. molecule groupings that
can serve as MFO substrates. Their oxidation
thus converts lipophilic compounds into more
water-partitioning moieties and thus promotes
excretion rather than lipid storage. Suitable
degradophores for the DDT-type molecule are
alkyl and alkoxy groups on the aryl rings. Com-
pounds with judicious combinations of these
provide relatively long persistence on inert sur-
faces and ready biodegradability in vivo. Such
compounds are much less toxic to mice and to
fish than DDT but because of the generally
lower MFO of insects, can be effective insecti-
cides. The role of degradophores incorporated
into the aliphatic moiety of DDT has also been
explored, where the -CH(CH3)2, -CHCH3CI and
-CHCH3NO2 groups are useful. Induction ex-
periments with the biodegradable DDT
analogues in mice has demonstrated that un-
like DDT, these compounds do not elevate liver
MFO.

The report summarizes the first year of opera-

being used in the field to study the applicability
of different control methods to the control of
fine particulate emitted from a wide variety of
sources. Two mobile units are described: a
fabric filter (baghouse) and a wet scrubber. The
latter includes two types: venturi and sieve tray.
Results from the baghouse tests on a coal-fired
power plant indicate suitability of a baghouse,
with woven glass bags, for control of dust from
this type of source. Results from tests on a pulp
mill lime recovery kiln show high dust removal
efficiency: however, the associated high
moisture content of the gases portends operat-
ing problems sufficient to indicate that a
baghouse would be unsuitable for control of
dust from this source. Operation of the mobile
scrubber unit during the year was confined to
startup testing and correction of mechanical
and operating difficulties.

The report describes a general sampling and
analytical strategy, developed for use in the
identification of potentially hazardous com-
ponents in process and waste streams. The
strategy includes sampling, separation, and
measurement, with options for different stream
types. The sampling involves many generally
available techniques and equipment. The
separation relies on liquid/liquid partitioning
and various forms of column chromatography.
Measurement primarily involves gas chro-
matography, gas chromatography/mass spec-
trometry, spark source mass spectrometry,
atomic absorption spectrometry, and ion selec-
tive electrodes. The strategy was applied to five
petroleum refinery streams: fugitive emissions
from atmospheric crude distillation, aqueous
condensate from an atmospheric crude still, ef-
fluent water from an API separator, tail gas from
a sulfur recovery unit, and atmospheric emis-
sions from a fluid catalytic cracking regenera-
tor. Background data required to apply the
strategy to these streams was acquired using
published information on chemical composi-
tion and by application of engineering
judgment. Costs were developed for the appli-
cation of the sampling and analytical strategy
using a modular approach, Total costs for the
five streams, depending on options selected,
ranged between $270.000 and $450,000. Copy-

This report describes an actual test study to
determine from available literature and through
engineering analysis the potentially hazardous
components in five selected effluents from a
typical refinery. These stream characterizations
are then to be used in developing a comprehen-
sive sampling and analytical strategy for
specific hazardous components in these
streams. The streams were selected as typical
major contributors to the total refinery emis-
sions. They are representative of the different
types of refinery effluents that might be en-
countered. The following are the five streams
studied: fugitive atmospheric emissions from
atmospheric crude distillation;.aqueous con-

A system for tabulating selected measures of
state air programs status was developed to pro-
vide a method for organizing, summarizing, and
presenting within a coherent framework, data
from existing reporting systems available to
EPA headquarters. The system consists of a
framework of measures of selected aspects of
state air programs for which data is readily
available, a methodology for computing values
and scores for these measures, and alternative
formats for summarizing and presenting values
and scores. A trial run of the system was con-
ducted for all fifty-five state and territorial con-
trol programs to demonstrate the manual appli-
cation of the system. It was concluded that a
periodic manual application of the system is
feasible but time-consuming. The feasibility of
automating the system depends on the extent
of system usage and the degree of stability of
data items and measures.

The amine salts of 2,4-D and picloram were ap-
plied to the Florida species of mangroves: red
mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), white man-
grove (Laguncularia racemosa) and black man-
grove (Avicennia germinans). Treatments were
to soil or water, by aerial spray and to single
leaves as droplets. The effects on radiochloride
uptake and on localization of radiocarbon-
labelled picloram after leaf application were
studied in red mangrove. Spray applications of
6.3 - 12.2 kg/ha of commercial mixture to the
canopy of a mixed-species forest caused partial
defoliation within three weeks. Within 16
months it killed all of the white, 78 -100% of the
mature red, but none of the mature black man-
groves. Radiocarbon-labelled picloram con-
centrated in dormant buds of red mangrove and
it is concluded that the tree is killed by the mix-
ture because of its effects on them.

were considered. Data for the production
methods included the specific process, raw
materials, annual production quantities, major
manufacturers, waste products, environmental
management of process wastes, and other
production data. Use patterns were identified
and annual consumption data were compiled
for each compound in the respective areas of

were identified. Various possible methods for
the exposure of man and the environment to al-
kyltin compounds were discussed and evalu-
ated. Future production quantities and areas of
usage were estimated for the next 10 years.

This report describes a type of gasifica-
tion/combined cycle system being considered
for construction by a consortium of Louisiana
cities that own electrical utility systems. The
115 KW system is expected to employ the Tex-
aco Synthesis Gas Generation Process.
(TSGGP) to produce a fuel gas by partial oxida-
tion of a hydrocarbon feedstock. The gas is
cleaned to remove sulfur compounds, ash, and
particulates, then burned as fuel for the gas tur-
bine in a combined-cycle power system. The
commercially-proven TSGGP process accepts
a large variety of hydrocarbons as feedstocks.
The initial feedstock for this application is ex-
pected to be heavy petroleum residues,
although the potential exists for utilization of
coat and lignite. Other features of the proposed
system include (1) high thermal efficiency
(relative to conventional steam generators)
resulting in part from efficient recovery of ther-
mal energy from the gasification of feedstock;
and (2) extremely low levels of pollutants (SOx,
NOx) in emissions to the atmosphere. The five
participating municipalities have established a
joint commission, 'Louisiana Municipal Power
Commission' (LAMPCO). which has retained
the services of bond counsel and investment
banking firms, and is proceeding with plans to
implement the proposed power generation
facility.

Wind tunnel tests were conducted to determine
the validity of the 'two-and-one-half-times' rule
frequently used to calculate a necessary height
for a stack in the vicinity of a building. Model
stacks and buildings were placed in a simulated
atmospheric boundary layer in a meteorologi-
cal wind tunnel. Smoke was used for flow
visualization and methane for quantitative con-
centration measurements downwind of the
building. These studies showed that the two-
and-one-half-times rule for the determination
of a necessary stack height in the vicinity of a
building is adequate for a building whose width
perpendicular to the wind direction is twice its
height, but that it is unnecessarily conservative
for a tall thin building. An alternative rule, called
Briggs' alternative, was shown to be adequate.

The report describes progress made during the
initial phase of a field evaluation program, con-
ducted by EPA, to assess techniques for the
disposal of power plant flue gas desulfurization
(FGD) wastes. The site chosen for the evalua-
tion was TVA's Shawnee Power Station, Padu-
cah, Kentucky. Two 10-MW prototype flue gas
scrubber systems—one using lime, the other
limestone—produced wastes that were stored in
five disposal ponds on the plant site. Two of the
ponds contain untreated waste; each remaining
pond contains waste chemically treated by one
of three commercial contractors. Test samples
of treated and untreated wastes, ground water,
surface water, leachate, and soil cores are
being analyzed in order to evaluate the environ-
mental acceptability of current disposal
technology. Based on this program, engineer-
ing estimates of total costs (capital and operat-
ing) for FGD waste treatment and disposal have
been made.

A literature review and source tests were per-
formed in order to accurately characterize
emissions from hot-dip galvanizing processes.
Particulate emission data from seventeen
source tests on hot-dip galvanizing plants were
considered relevant in developing an emission
factor for galvanizing kettles. There was no sig-
nificant difference between kettle emissions
and emissions from control devices. Consider-
ing both kettle and control device emissions as
one data base, two types of emission factors
were calculated: (1) An emission factor based
on process weight, equal to 0.26 kg/metric ton
galvanized product (o =O.28), or assuming 8%
zinc by weight in the galvanized product, 3.3
kg/metric ton zinc used (o =3.5). (2) An emis-
sion factor based on the hours of kettle opera-
tion, equal to 0.51 kg/hr per kettle (o =0.44).
Using the derived emission factors, the total
amount of participate emissions produced by
hot-dip galvanizing operations in the United
States is estimated to be approximately 1,600
metric tons per year.

In the investigation interactions of 12 pesticides
with 37 strains of fresh water algae were stu-
died in an effort to determine something of the
variability in responses of fresh water algae to
the variety of pesticides in use or projected to
be used in the future. Three interactions were
investigated. One was the toxicity of the pesti-
cides to these algae. Another was the sorption
of several of the pesticides by some of the spe-
cies of algae. The third was the possibility that
some of the pesticides can be degraded by ac-
tion of algae. In general it was found that sen-
sitivity of algae to pesticides varied greatly with
the strains tested. Sorption of methoxychlor ap-
peared to be mainly physical, since much of the
methoxychlor sorbed was exchangeable. The
butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-D (2,4-DBE) was not
sorbed to a significant extent by two green
algae tested, and sorption of carbaryl was very
slow. Malathion can be degraded by algae in
the presence of light. One breakdown product,
malathion monoacid (beta form), appeared as
the malathion was being degraded, and later
disappeared.

emissions from stationary point and area
sources. The methodology is an elaboration of
the National Emissions Data System (NEDS).
and is based upon, but not limited to, an inven-
tory of hydrocarbon emissions within the
Boston, MA. Air Quality Control Region; emis-
sions from motor vehicles are not considered,
since they are subject to a different methodolo-
gy. Sources of data, and procedures to obtain
data are described. Data sources include trade
associations, census figures, and wholesale
suppliers. Examples are given of work sheets
for compiling data, and of questionnaires with
instructions for completion that can be sent to
various types of establishments that are poten-
tial emission sources. Application of the
methodology to the St. Louis Air Quality Con-
trol Region for development of a hydrocarbon

This document presents the current state of
knowledge about the production, usage, and
distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) in the United States. The information
presented is derived from detailed studies on
the production and first tier user industries, the
past and present generation and disposition of
PCB-containing wastes, environmental trans-
port and cumulative loads, potential alterna-
tives to PCBs usage, inadvertent losses to and
potential formation in the environment, and
current regulatory authorities for PCBs control.
These results indicated that, although PCBs
content of industrial wastes can be reduced
through various approaches (treatment, sub-
stitution, etc.), there exists a potentially severe
future hazard in the form of large amounts of
PCBs currently contained in land disposal sites.
Further definition of this and other aspects of
the PCBs problem, and determination of ways
to minimize the hazard, are recommended.

A novel method of vertical tube evaporation
(VTE) to improve heat transfer performance
was applied to the concentration of three types
of industrial wastewaters. This method, inter-
face enhancement, relies upon the addition of a
few parts per million of a selected surfactant to
the wastewater feed followed by imposed two-
phase foamy liquid-vapor flow over the heat
transfer surfaces. Applied to the concentration
of power plant cooling tower blowdown and
boiler blowdown, interface-enhanced VTE pro-
vided an approximate 120 percent increase in
the usual VTE heat transfer performance, using
a 5,000 gpd pilot plant having double-fluted
aluminum-brass distillation tubes, under
process conditions that are realistic for large
industrial plants. Acidic mine drainage water,
concentrated by double-fluted titanium
evaporator tubes provided about a 60 percent
heat transfer performance enhancement.
Beneficial side effects of the surfactant additive
were to inhibit the crystallization of solutes,
permitting concentration of the wastewaters to
smaller volumes. This work indicates feasibility
and improved economics for renovation-recy-
cle of each of the three types of wastewater ex-
amined.

This report represents the results of statistical
analyses of data from a collaborative test using
paired paniculate sampling trains. The pur-
poses of the test were to estimate the minimum
variability that can be expected with the use of
Method 5 and to determine the effect of spa-
tial/temporal changes in the gas flow on a
Method 5 result. The paired train consists of
two mirror-image Method 5 trains in a single
box, and allows two independent laboratories
to obtain simultaneous particulate concentra-
tion data with probe nozzles only 5.8 cm apart.
The report deals with Method 5, and also
Method 2 (Velocity) and Method 3 (Stack Gas
Analysis), which are called for in the use of
Method 5. In addition, the particulate concen-
trations are converted to the applicable com-
pliance test result for the source tested, and
these are also analyzed. The latest in-house
revisions of the EPA methods were used in this
test, and the results contained here are applica-
ble to these revisions.

of ozone on growth, nitrogen fixation, %
nitrogen, total nitrogen and nodulation varied
with age of plant and ozone concentration.
Caloric content of tops (plants 4 weeks old
when exposed) was reduced with two expo-
sures of 30 or 60 pphm ozone. Root caloric con-
tent was not affected. Phenol content of tops
and roots (plants 6 weeks old when exposed)
was reduced with two 30 pphm ozone expo-
sures. Clover exudates were not detectably
modified by ozone exposure.

Nine experimental designs were run to deter-
mine the effect of sulfur dioxide on the impor-
tant Southeastern oat variety - Carolee. The
designs were run under controlled conditions
and looked at sulfur dioxide concentration (25-
300 pphm), ozone interactions, growth and ex-
posure temperatures, growth and exposure hu-
midities, growth and exposure light intensities,
nutrient sulfur levels, number of exposures and
exposure ages, and a screen for growth condi-
tions. Plants were grown to from 28 days to 84
days before final harvest. Top dry wt, root dry
wt, number of tillers and injury were determined
for all experimental designs except no. 5 and
no. 8. The fifth design also included yield mea-
surements and the eighth did not include the
biomass data. The 75 pphm treatments for 1.5
hrs were close to a threshold dose. Growth en-
vironmental factors affected the response of
the plants and in some cases exposure condi-
tions caused an effect. Sulfur nutrition was a
significant factor and showed an interaction
with S02 concentration on several response
measures. Foliar injury was highly correlated
with growth reductions.

The report gives results of a review of the state-
of-the-art of catalytic combustion concepts,
and of an assessment of the applicability of
catalytic combustion to gas- and oil-fired home
heaters and commercial and industrial boilers.
Newly developed high-temperature support
materials will greatly enhance the field of high-
temperature catalytic combustion, but current
catalyst systems are limited by the catalyst
coating to much lower temperatures than the
supports. To keep combustor temperatures
below those that would cause catalyst degrada-
tion, to achieve high system efficiency, and to
prevent NOx formation, combustion system
concepts such as two-stage combustion, flue
gas recirculation, and bed heat removal appear
necessary. Application of these concepts to
home furnaces appears feasible, but their appli-
cation to larger size units may be more attrac-
tive because of their greater initial cost,
generally more sophisticated controls, better
supervision of equipment, and heat transfer
characteristics.

of existing, planned, available or potentially
available SO2 control systems in support of
preparation of regulations for copper smelters
in the Arizona portion of Region IX. The inspec-
tions and analyses were to assess the (1) feasi-
bility of upgrading existing or planned per-
manent controls, (2) feasibility of operational
changes to improve control, and (3) applicabili-
ty of available or potentially available constant
emission control technology. A total of seven
copper smelters in the State of Arizona were
reviewed. The major source of uncontrolled
S02 emissions at the present time in the
average smelter is the reveroeratory furnace
since most smelters control converter offgases.
Alternate control techniques are discussed in

Experimental data.
The long physical and biological half-life and
high relative toxicity have dictated that con-
siderable effort be devoted to quantifying plu-
tonium transport through the various trophic
levels. Despite the fact that biological transport
of plutonium has been studied for many years,
quantitative values for its transfer to milk, and
its subsequent uptake by suckling animals have
not been established. Three lactating goats
were given intravenous injections of citrate-
buffered plutonium nitrate at a rate of 75
microcuries per animal per day for three con-
secutive days, in all three goats approximately
one percent of the total plutonium dose was
transferred to the milk by the fifth post-treat-
ment day. Plutonium retained by the tissues
was deposited primarily in the liver and bone. In
vitro plutonium-labeled milk was also fed to
groups of rats and juvenile goats. Tissue con-
centrations of plutonium from juvenile goats
which had received either in vivo or in vitro
labeled milk were somewhat variable. Due
possibly to this, within group variability and the
small number of animals per group (two) there
were no clearly discernible differences between
treatments. The only comparison point to show
a consistent trend was the observation that, as
expected, juvenile rats retained more of the in-
gested dose than the adult animals.

The report presents general guidelines for
planning and implementing quality assurance
programs at EPA/IERL-RTP demonstration
projects. Because quality assurance, a system
of activities whose purpose is to assure that
overall quality is being controlled effectively,
requires a thorough understanding of quality
control, the report initially addresses the major
components of a project quality control pro-
gram, including a discussion of quality control
in the request for proposal, the proposal, and
the work plan. The two major functional areas
of quality assurance are the qualitative systems
review and the quantitative performance audit.
A detailed checklist is provided to aid in the
systems review, and three tables provide
general information on available techniques for
the performance audit. These tables cover the
auditing of physical measurements, gas ef-
fluent streams, and liquid process streams. The
report is designed for project officers, contrac-
tors, and others concerned with quality as-
surance programs at IERL-RTP demonstration
projects.

The report describes a short-term quality as-
surance program, implemented at the EPA wet
limestone scrubber facility located at the
Shawnee steam/electric plant. Paducah, Ken-
tucky. The program was part of a project to
prepare a set of quality assurance guidelines
for demonstration projects. The control labora-
tory, the effluent gas streams, and process in-
strumentation were reviewed and audited. In
the control laboratory, side-by-side pH mea-
surements were made, and limestone slurry
samples were collected. These samples were
sent to three independent laboratories for anal-
ysis of selected elements in the solid and liquid
phases. Gas stream work covered both particu-
late grain loading and analysis of SO2. Panicu-
late sampling and weighing techniques were
observed, and volume calibration checks were
made. SO2 was collected, analyzed by two
chemical methods, and compared with the in-
stack photometric measurement system.
Process instrumentation was checked with
portable precision electronic equipment car-
ried on-site and inserted into instrumentation
circuitry to verify accuracy of sensors and
readout devices.

Cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses of

0.50 ppm ozone under four ambient conditions
(25C, 45% rh; 31C, 85% rh; 35C, 40% rh; 40C.
50% rh) were determined. Exercise at 40% cf
the individual's V02. max was performed from
60-90 mi.n of exposure. There were no car-
diovascular changes due to ozone exposure
but heart rate increased and stroke volume
decreased with increasing heat stress. Rectal.
mean body, and mean skin temperature also in-
creased. There was a decrease in vital capacity
and total lung capacity due primarily to a reduc-
tion of inspiratory capacity following ozone ex-
posure. The combination of heat stress and
ozone exposure resulted in significantly greater
impairment of pulmonary function. The trachi-
al-bronchial irritation caused by ozone reduces
the vital capacity and maximum expiratory flow
and this effect is more pronounced when the
ozone exposure occurs in a hot environment.

covers raw materials preparation at the plant
site, molten glass production in the melting fur-
nace, and the forming of flat glass products.
Melting furnace emissions account for over
99% of the total plant emissions; NO(x), SO(x),
and particulates are the major (89%) pollu-
tants. The particulates are alkali sulfates of sub-
micron size. NO(x) has the highest emission
factor. Source severity is a measure of the
potential environmental effect of air emissions
from this industry: it is defined as the ratio of
the maximum average ground level concentra-
tion compared to the primary ambient air quali-
ty standard for criteria pollutants. The largest
severity factors are for NO(x) emissions from a
30 m stack (S^.3) and a 60 m stack (S«.S7).
Severities for SO(x) and particulates are in the
range 1.0-0.05.

(PCBs) in the United States. The information
presented is derived from detailed studies on
the production and first tier user industries, the
past and present generation and disposition of
PCB-containing wastes, environmental trans-
port and cumulative loads, potential alterna-
tives to PCBs usage, inadvertent losses to and
potential formation in the environment, and
current regulatory authorities for PCBs control.
These results indicated that, although PCBs
content of industrial wastes can be reduced
through various approaches (treatment, sub-
stitution, etc.), there exists a potentially severe
future hazard in the form of large amounts of
PCBs currently contained in land disposal sites.
Further definition of this and other aspects of
the PCBs problem, and determination of ways
to minimize the hazard, are recommended.

The relationship between median lethal con-

for five chemicals and up to six species of
freshwater fish in a flow-through system. The
lowest median lethal concentrations found
were 0.114 mg/l for sodium cyanide, 0.118 mg/l

curves relating median lethal concentration to
exposure time were of three types. One curve,
resembling a rectangular hyperbola, charac-

another curve, sigmoid in shape, characterized
the toxicity of selenium dioxide. Both types of
curves were observed in toxicity tests with sodi-
um pentachlorophenate, sodium arsenite and

recorded for some fish species exposed to
selenium dioxide, sodium arsenite and berylli-
um sulfate, but these were usually encountered
when exposure times were less than 96 hr.

EPA urban dispersion models were modified to
consider multiple station information on wind
speed and direction. Three models were
modified: the Real-Time Air-Qualiry-Simulation
Model (RAM) and the Sampled-Chronological
Input Model (SCIM), both short-term averaging
models, and the Climatological Dispersion
Model (COM), a long term averaging model.
Relatively straight forward modifications, which
are useful and practical approximations have
been made. The modifications had two basic
objectives: the first, to develop techniques for
describing wind conditions at any point within a
region in which arbitrarily-located observing
points exist; and second, to identify critical
points in the dispersion algorithms at which the
additional multiple-station wind data could be
incorporated and to modify these computation
routines accordingly. The modifications were
compared among themselves on the basis of
accuracy, computational efficiency and ease of
use. Although no observational data was availa-
ble to verify the various approaches, the results
of applications to hypothetical meteorological
situations indicate that more realistic results
can be obtained by the incorporation of multi-
ple-station data.

A field measurement study was conducted on

stratification in the ducting. One of the pur-
poses of the study was to determine the op-

gas samples for continuous monitoring. The
results indicate that average gas concentration,
velocity, and temperature, which were mea-
sured by traversing the inner 50% of the duct
cross section, do not differ significantly from
those obtained by traversing the entire duct
Also, sampling from only a limited number of
points within the inner 50% of the duct usually
yields a representative sample.

Tires form a particularly intractable form of
solid waste since they dp not decompose, have
art adverse effect on incinerators and air emis-
sions, and disrupt the compaction process in
sanitary landfills. The options for the disposal
or recovery of used tires are described by this
study as well as research into new methods of
tire recovery. Rubber reclaimed from scrap tires
can be used in new tire manufacture but lacks
the uniformity, tensile strength, heat resistance
and abrasion resistance to be used in very large
concentrations. Pyrolysis, hydrogenization and
related processes for separating tires into sub-
stances that may be recycled into tire produc-
tion or sold as fuel, although workable on a
laboratory scale, have not yet been proven
commercially. The incorporation of chopped
tires into an interface layer of asphalt between a
deteriorated road and its new surfacing is a
promising use of tires. A series of strategies
was devised under which various economic,
regulatory, educational, and research and
development activities were combined to pro-
vide incentives to encourage the reuse of tires
or improve tire disposal practices.

This document is concerned with developing
linear regression techniques for interpolation
of air pollutant concentrations over an area
and, using these techniques in a computer pro-
gram for determining the optimum location of
air pollution observing stations. The general in-
terpolation problem is surveyed and the ad-
vantages of using linear regression formulas as
interpolation formulas are discussed. The case
of observations containing errors of observa-
tion or effects of limited range of influence is
emphasized. Since the use of linear regression
methods depends on knowledge of the two-
point correlation function for pollutant concen-
tration measures, the construction of correla-
tion coefficients from synthetic data is taken
up. Attention is given to the estimation of
residual variances or the effects of limited
range of influence, using Factor Analysis. In ex-
tending these methods to a continuous formu-
lation in integral equation form, the lack of ac-
curacy in the integral equation solution is more
important than the statistical significance of the
data unless the residual variances are removed.
If this is done, then the tests for accuracy and
statistical significance are reconciled. If the
user carefully handles the residual variances in
constructing program input, difficulties en-
countered in code development are avoidable.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) has been found in
the environment in southeastern Louisiana in
addition to other parts of the world. In this re-
gion it is a byproduct of the petro-chemical in-
dustry. HCB is a fungicide and has boen found
to accumulate in fatty tissue of wild and
domestic animals. It has had toxic effects upon
humans. A number of cases of porphyria cu-
tanea tarda were traced to ingestion of treated
grain. In this study, soil, water and organism
samples were collected periodically in 1974 and
1975 from sites in southeastern Louisiana, with
emphasis along the Mississippi River and an in-
dustrial region of known contamination of HCB
near Geismar, Louisiana. Maximum HCB con-
centrations in water from the two areas were
90.3 and 74.9 microgram/l (ppb). Maximum
HCB concentrations in soil from the two areas
were 874 and 53,130 microgram/Kg (ppb).

tested by the University of Washington, com-
bines oppositely charged aerosol particles and
water droplets in two water spray towers. Nega-
tively energized aerosol charging sections
(coronas) precede each spray tower. The pilot
plant was tested on artifically generated dioctyl
phthalate (OOP) aerosol and on emissions from
a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The overall mass
collection efficiency for the two OOP tests was
24.98% and 99.6%, respectively. The coal-fired
boiler emission tests showed a collection effi-
ciency for a 0.5 micron diameter particle rang-
ing from 47.0% to 98.0%. Conditions during the
47.0% test included a low water spray rate.
Because of the relatively large inlet size dis-
tribution, the overall mass collection efficiency
decreased only from 99.58% to 96.09% for the
two boiler emission tests.

changes can be assessed, and for selected
research studies to be performed. Significant
findings include the following: Most heavy
metals in the finftsh and invertebrates sampled
showed little variation, with lead showing
greater variation than other metals; Diversity of
benthic species was greater and less variable
on the slope than on the shelf. The biomass of
demersal species increased at the shelf break
and remained constant to 2000 m where it
decreased; Numerical abundance of individuals
caught showed an expected decrease with

diazinon at zero and 96-hour exposure time
revealed that the amounts of diazinon uptake
by three algal organisms is greater than
amounts concentrated by the copepod. The
toxicity of higher concentrations above 2.0 ppm
(2 milligrams per liter) has offset copepod up-
take, while at lower concentrations, quantities
concentrated by Acartia are negligible.

This report presents guidelines for identifying
and evaluating violations of carbon monoxide
air quality standards in the vicinity of streets
and highways. The guidelines are provided to
facilitate the rapid and efficient review of CO
conditions along existing roadway networks,
without the need for extensive air quality moni-
toring, and are based upon the use of limited
traffic data. Two stages of review are provided
for. Preliminary screening, performed with sim-
ple monographs included herein, simply identi-
fies those locations with the potential to violate
CO standards; no quantitative estimate of CO
concentrations results from preliminary screen-
ing. Verification screening, using procedures
and forms provided herein, allows for con-
sideration of additional site-specific conditions
and provides quantitative estimates of max-
imum CO concentrations. Both screening
procedures are performed manually and are
based upon the EPA Indirect Source Review
Guidelines. Data collection procedures, com-
putation techniques, and forms are recom-
mended, and examples are provided.

This report describes the development of a se-
ries of guidelines for the identification and
evaluation of localized violations of carbon
monoxide air quality standards from motor
vehicle traffic. Guidelines for first-stage analy-
sis (screening) were based upon the EPA In-
direct Source Guidelines and generalized traf-
fic data. Guidelines for second-stage analysis
specify the use of available air quality models.
Guidelines for selecting among alternative con-
trol measures describe several alternative mea-
sures, quantify their air quality impact with data
from the literature and from new analyses, and
describe their othe'r impacts. Guidelines were
tested on 51 locations in Waltham, Mass., data
for which is provided in this report. This volume
describes development of all the guidelines and
includes revised draft guidelines for modeling
and for selection of control measures;
guidelines for screening were published in a
separate volume.

The Colville River estuarine system was studied
over a period of four years. Physical, chemical,
geomorphological and biological features were
included. North slope river deltas differ signifi-
cantly from those elsewhere, due to climatolog-
ical extremes and a long, cold, dark winter with
continuous ice-cover and continuous daylight
during the summer with melting ice or open
water. Basic information has been obtained on
the winds, waves and currents. Predominant
current directions are from the west, with wind
drift currents with a periodicity of 4 to 5 days.
Beach sediments are characterized as poorly
sorted gravelly sandy sediment in a relatively
low energy environment. The ice-free biological
regime is strongly influenced by the river input
of low salinity water containing relatively high
concentrations of nitrogen nutrients. An annual
primary production in the estuary is estimated
at 10-15 g-C/sq m. Crustaceans, molluscs and
polychaetes characterize the macrofauna at
depths exceeding 2 m, with but few species
responsible for most of the biomass. Interesting
features of the chemical regime are connected
with the isolation of hypersaline water in the
shallow estuarine and river system. Freshwater
systems were included in the study.

A limnological, water quality and quantity and
lake fluction, transparency, and ice cover study
was made of the Tygart Lake, West Virginia, and
its tributaries. The watershed of this lake has
been extensively mined for coal and acid mine
drainage (AMD) is discharged throughout the
area. The significant sources of AMD were
found to be the Tygart River and Sandy Creek.
Net changes in lake depth were 14-16 meters,
and the maximum change 22 meters. Trans-
parency depth ranged from 0.1 m in December
to 7.5 m in the summer. The major factors re-
lated to the development of acidity gradients in
Tygart Lake were found to be (1) hydrological
characteristics including inflow, outflow, and
the operational interaction between the inflow
and outflow resulting in storage or drawdown,
(2) thermal relationships including the spring
warming cycle, thermal stratification during the
summer, the autumnal cooling cycle, and the
winter thermal minimum and (3) water chemis-
try including the existing chemical stratification
or its lack at the beginning of a seasonal period
and the chemical quality of inflow.

Of all the colorimetric methods proposed for

ones which use the Berthelot reaction are by far
the preferred methods. The great sensitivity of

from aircraft measurements. The intensity of a
small source area, some sq km. is obtained by
the vertical repartition of the concentrations in
the plume: for larger source area, some 10.000
sq km, this intensity is determined from the
variation with day time of the vertical profiles of
the concentration. The accuracy of the different
methods is discussed.

ries, and detectable even in infancy. The
pathogenesis of this early form of arterial cal-
cinosis is not explained. It possibly is con-
cerned with a phenomenon similar to cal-
ciphylaxis in which exogenous factors such as
food and an increased loading with vitamin D
sensitize the calcium metabolism for calcium
deposits, and local increased mechanical load-
ing of the wall provokes the calcium deposits.
Quantitative mineral analyses of the juvenile ar-
terial wall are not yet available. For this reason,
the calcium and trace element content of the ju-
venile arterial wall were determined. The in-
vestigations involved the arteries of 43 male
and female deceased persons from the current

plant, the concentration can be at least 3200 mg
Cr (lll)/l sludge (in the form of the oxide)
without interfering with the biology.

The velocity of formation of gaseous chlorine
which results from the reaction of NaCI or
CaCI2 with gas mixtures of SO2-O2 or SO2-O2-
SO3 has been measured. For mixtures of SO2-
02 the reaction rate depends on the composi-
tion of the gas atmosphere at constant tem-
perature. For concentrations of SO3 above one
percent, the rate velocity is determined only by
the SO3 concentration. Furthermore, the in-
fluence of admixtures of Fe2O3 on the kinetics
of these reactions has been examined. The
complex sequence of reactions has been subdi-
vided into partial reactions in order to in-
vestigate the various processes occurring dur-
ing chloridizing roasting, most of which are lar-
gely unknown as yet. In the present study, the
reactions of the NaCI and CaCI2 chlorine vehi-
cles with SO2-O2 gas mixtures have been ex-
amined in the temperature range of between
500 and 600C, first with mixtures of changing
composition and then with increased SOS con-
tent by measuring weight increases. Further-
more, the effect of admixtures of Fe2O3 on
these reactions, and the behavior of pure
Fe2O3 with the reaction gases has been ex-
amined. Kinetic tests determine the speeds with
which these reactions occur.

remained unchanged compared with that of Fe-

wall, was clearly elevated (P < 0.001). Since
after Zn depletion the Zn absorption was
elevated about threefold, possible interactions

served when fresh wood is handled. The onset
can be marked by such general symptoms as a
sickish feeling, nausea, shivering, and low
grade fever. Then a local sensation of tension,
heat, and burning may appear, followed by in-
creasingly intensive sometimes intolerable.
pruritus. At the same time, the lesions will take
on a scarlet red hue with painful swelling
resembling urticaria. Finally, small vesicles will
be seen. All these involvements may be found
as isolated cases, or can accompany respirato-
ry symptoms which involve the bronchia and
upper air passages.

As part of a research effort sponsored by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to study
the dispersion of contaminants in near-shore
areas of large lakes, the author developed nu-
merical models which are capable of realisti-
cally describing the currents throughout large
lakes and, in particular, in the near-shore re-
gions of these lakes. The report summarizes
work to date on these hydrodynamic models.
The emphasis has been on the development
and use of three-dimensional models. Three
basic models and applications of these models
are presented. The models are: (1) a steady-
state, constant-density model;.(2) a time-de-
pendent, constant-density model; and (3) a
time-dependent, variable-density model. Each
model has its own limitations and has certain
advantages over the others. Applications of
each model, especially to flows in near-shore
regions, have been made and are discussed.
Vertically averaged models have also been
used, usually in parametric studies, and a brief
summary of these models is also given.

Monitoring data have shown that pesticides are
ubiquitous in the water environment. It is now
well established that pesticides can move into
areas many thousands of miles removed from
the site of application as illustrated by measura-
ble levels of DDT in antarctic penguins which
have never been directly exposed to this pesti-
cide. As with many other manmade pollutants,
it has been found that pesticides can overpower
nature's capacity to dilute and detoxify noxious
chemicals. Based on this, a number of actions
were suggested to protect the environment.

The study is concerned with pesticide use on
nonirrigated cropland, such as those in the
midwestern United States. Pesticides are used
in this area extensively for weed and insect con-
trol. In such lands, most of the area is subject to
run-off and erosion which is seasonal.
Generally, the pesticides used in this region at-
tach themselves to organic matter and soil par-
ticles which, in turn, are carried off into rivers
and streams by erosion. Thus, this region ex-
hibits characteristic problems in pesticide ap-
plication techniques and run-off losses. Using
all available information, this study provides an
in-depth evaluation of the impact on the natural
environment of pesticides used for control of
specific pests in the midwestern states of Il-
linois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri.

The toxicity of copper was compared for
Daphnia magna cultured in reconstituted ver-
sus pond water and fed on trout-pellet versus
vitamin-enriched, algal foods. Effects of a
chronic copper stress were highly variable
when animals were tested in reconstituted
waters. This variability is thought to be due to
variability in the quality of the distilled-water
matrix. The vitamin-enriched algal food was
found to be superior to the trout-granule food
in culturing D. magna. Control animals lived
much longer and test animals were less sensi-
tive to a chronic copper stress. The acute and
chronic toxicity of copper was also compared
for four species of Daphnia. When tested in
pond water and fed vitamin-enriched algae, the
two largest species (D. magna and D. pulex)
were significantly less sensitive to an acute
copper stress than the two smallest species (D.
parvula and D. ambigua). There was, however.
no significant differenc in sensitivity to a
chronic copper stress when reduced longevity
was used as the index. Application factors for
the four species varied from 0.47 to 0.62 and
were not significantly different.

A sampling and analysis program was con-

tent vinyl chloride was present in ambient air
due to the presence of polyvinyl chloride
products. Sampling environments were chosen
to represent real life, but nonwork situations
where a significant exposure to polyvinyl
chloride products might occur. A sampling and
analysis protocol was developed with a
recovery efficiency of greater than 90% and a
detection limit of 10 ppb (v/v). The two general
categories of environments sampled were vehi-
cles and commercial products. The interior am-
bient air was sampled from new and used
domestic automobiles, foreign automobiles
and domestic mobile homes. No evidence of
vinyl chloride was found. The following com-
mercial vinyl products, when sampled in their
normal environment, did not produce a mea-
surable quantity of vinyl chloride in the ambient
air: vinyl wall covering; vinyl swimming pool
liners; and vinyl nursery products. A room
being painted with a heavily pigmented red
paint was found to contain a very low level of

The report presents the results of a full scale
demonstration project to confirm previous pilot
studies and research done on the economics
and feasibility of reclaiming wastewater for use
at an aquatic park in a semi-arid area. The
demonstration project included: (1) The con-
struction of a 1900 cu m/day (0.5 mgd) tertiary
wastewater treatment plant and a 22.7 ha (56
acre) park with recreational support facilities;
and (2) The evaluation of the treatment system
performance and the characteristics of the lake
waters as they relate to chemical, physical, and
biological quality, algal growth, plant growth,
fish pathology, soil reclamation, and irrigation.
The completed recreational park, officially
named Apollo County Park after the Apollo 11
Capsule, attests of the economic benefits and
social acceptability of wastewater renovation.
The evaluation studies showed that tertiary
treated water is pathogenically safe, estheti-
cally pleasing, suitable for fish life and aquatic
sports, and acceptable forirrigational use.

A study to determine changes in the incidence
of asthmatic attacks based on the daily record
of 15 outpatients residing in the neighborhood
of a hospital in Tokyo and afflicted with
bronchial asthma of the atopic type was con-
ducted during the 81-day period between
November 18, 1969. and February 6. 1970.
Meanwhile, an automatic air pollution recorder
was installed in that hospital to obtain a
running record of the amount of SO2 and
suspended particles in air. A comparative study
of the changes noted in the above cases con-
firmed that the incidence of asthmatic attacks
tended to rise when the day's maximum value
of SO2 gas reached a high level of pollution
(over 0.2 ppm), and that such incidence tended
to rise even further along with an increase of
suspended particles (50% or more absorbance).

A questionnaire concerning symptoms of the
respiratory organs was distributed to the chil-
dren in kindergartens and nursery schools in ail
areas of the city to obtain entries made by their
mothers. In the case of the number of colds
contracted throughout the year, there is a sig-
nificantly higher rate among the boys in the dis-
tricts around the factories, but this trend was
not observed among the girls. The fact that the
incidence of measles in the medical histories of
those living in the vicinity of the factories was
high was striking.

The objective is to elucidate the effects of air
pollution on health epidemiologically as it per-
tains to children. The subjects were all of the
first and second grade students in all of the 153
primary schools in Kyoto City (a total of 36,789
pupils). A respiratory symptoms survey sheet
was distributed to all of the mothers through
the children to obtain written responses. At-
mospheric SO2 and N02 pollution levels were
measured at the 153 schools that had been the
subject of the school children's health survey.
Survey results indicated that the incidence of
typical asthma symptoms among the lower
grade students in Kyoto City was 6%. This is ap-
proximately 0.4 times the incidence among
school children in the highly polluted districts
of Kitakyushu City. The incidence of typical
asthma symptoms in the relatively highly pol-
luted district of the city was approximately 1.4
times that in the districts where the levels of
pollution are low. A significant positive correla-
tion was observed between this and the levels
of pollution at each school.

For the purpose of ascertaining the effects
caused by air pollution on school children, a
city-wide health survey was conducted on the
students of elementary and junior high schools
of Nagoya and the results were studied in an at-
tempt to grasp the existing conditions.
Although there were significant differences in
the results of medical examinations from
school to school, there was a tendency for the
incidence of tonsilitis to be more frequent in the
industrial belt in the southern part of the City.
No significant differences were observed in
height, weight or chest measurement. With the
athletic aptitude tests, the endurance run test
for junior high schools showed a deterioration
for both males and females of schools in pol-
luted areas in comparison to schools in non-
polluted areas.

Nitrogen oxides and other pollutants here in-
clude nitrogen oxides (NOx), photochemical
oxidants, and ozones. Among the nitrogen ox-
ides, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide are espe-
cially important in their effects on human be-
ings and their environment. Nitric oxide (NO) is
generated from so-called fixed sources such as
steam-power plants and furnace operations
and from so-called moving sources such as au-
tomobiles. Nitrogen oxides are also released
directly into the atmosphere from such things
as the nitrification process in the chemical in-
dustry. Nitrogen oxides lead to the regional and
local atmospheric pollutions. The atmospheric
pollution due to nitrogen oxides in Japan has
rapidly worsened in the past ten years. The
knowledge we have today on the effects on
human beings is mainly on nitrogen dioxide;
the knowledge on nitric oxide is still insuffi-
cient. Therefore, the authors are recommend-
ing environmental standards for nitrogen diox-
ide. The authors define photochemical oxidants
as oxidizing substances, exclusive of nitrogen
dioxide, which are generated by the
photochemical reaction. This is based on the
method of measurement, using neutral potassi-
um iodide solution, which will be mentioned
later. It has been confirmed that, in this case,
most of the measured values are due to ozone.
The authors recommend the environmental
standards of photochemical oxidants as an
index of photochemical-reaction-generated
pollutants.

The authors examined the dynamic properties
of histamine inside the lungs and other organs
through repeated exposures to NO2 of relative-

also attempted sthenometric measurements by
means of the natation method. With the lung
histamine content, some increase was ob-
served in the 5 ppm group on the 20th day,
while an increase was detected in the 1 ppm
group on the 30th day. The histamine content of
the blood was in ultra-micro quantities, but a
gradually increasing tendency was indicated in
the 1 ppm group, while no change was ob-
served in the 5 ppm group. In the examination
of the mice, changes accompanying the
progress in the exposure to NO2 were not ob-
served in terms of the lung water content, but in
the sthenometric tests certain reductions in the
fatigue time and death time were observed.

It is sard that itai-itai disease is a Fanconi syn-
drome caused by chronic cadmium poisoning.
No clear conclusion has been reached as yet
concerning the reason why many cases of this
disease were found among aged muliparae,
and almost no cases were found among males.
The authors have previously reported that an
early diagnosis and a differential diagnosis of
itai-itai disease were possible by comparing
urine gel filtration patterns, and that a pre-
sumption of the degree of kidney disorder by
the G25 albumin ratio was possible. It was also
found that the G25 albumin ratio could be used
as an indication of the degree of kidney dis-
order caused by chronic cadmium poisoning.
Therefore, the gel filtration patterns of urine,
the G25 albumin ratio of inhabitants in the area
of itai-itai disease incidence, and the life history
of patients were studied. Cases of kidney dis-
order caused by chronic cadmium poisoning
were found in both sexes. The authors have the
opinion that itai-itai disease was possibly
caused by intake of cadmium in great quanti-
ties, especially during the period of pregnancy.

The purpose of the study was to determine
whether the harmful industrial atmosphere has
also an effect on the forest soil, and if that is in-
deed the case, to determine how this effect
manifests itself in the biological structure of the
soil. To study the effect of industrial exhalations
on soil biology, one must carry out a quantita-
tive and qualitative analysis of the biotic soil
component in undamaged and damaged
growths. A prerequisite for this analysis are
identical natural conditions in both groups of
growths. For this reason, maturing and mature
spruce growths of the same type were selected
in a region so far undamaged by industrial gas
and smoke (the area in the vicinity of the St.
Sebastian Mountain), and medium or heavily
damaged growths (in the Vilejsov and the
Komari Vizka region). Detailed measurements
of the soil microbiology, the symbiotic relation-
ships, and the biological activity were made and
compared for each area.

Floating blue-green algae predominate in Clear
Lake during most of the algal growing season.
They are subject to concentration by gentle
winds which can drive intense concentrations
of algae into relatively small areas. Algal con-
centrations in these scums may vary between
1000 mg and 20,000 mg per liter surface water
(1-5 cm deep). Because of this natural flotation
and wind-induced concentration only about 2
percent of Clear Lake's surface need be
skimmed throughout the algal growing season
to decrease the average level of floating algae
in the lake. The annual cost of building and
operating a single skimming station would be
about $50,000 to $60,000. New information on
algal scum characteristics have been incor-
porated into the design of a third pickup unit
(The U.C. Surface Skimmer) which is now being
constructed. Testing and evaluation of the unit
will be conducted in Clear Lake. The economic
analysis presented is contingent upon the suc-
cessful functioning of this unit.

There have been many papers written about the
survival of virus during exposure to disinfecting
agents and most of them include, in the discus-
sion of their results, some speculation regard-
ing the possible influence of virus particle ag-
gregation. This paper differs from the others. It
provides direct evidence of the kind and degree
of aggregation that was present among the
virions that were treated with bromine as well
as the PFU liters of the starters and the sur-
vivors. A dynamic system, in which disinfectant
exposure time intervals as low as 0.5 seconds
was developed. Polio and reovirus prepara-
tions, containing essentially all single particles,
as indicated by electron microscopy, were
tested in this system. The results indicated that
reovirus single particle suspensions were 30
times as sensitive to bromine as poliovirus sin-
gle particle suspensions, both snowing essen-
tially first order reaction kinetics with disinfec-
tion rates of 3 log base 10 per second and 6 log
base 10 units per minute, respectively. Inactiva-
tion rates with slightly aggregated reovirus
deviated from first order kinetics, the reaction
rate declining continuously in a manner con-
sistent with the degree of aggregation shown
by electron micrographs. Temperature effects
on disinfection rates using dispersed poliovirus
were also investigated. The report demon-
strates the effects of virus aggregation on disin-
fection kinetics and provides the basis for com-
paring the resistance of different viruses to dif-
ferent disinfectants under various conditions.
This research can be applied to water pollution
areas.

A biological study is conducted on a fringing
coral reef adjacent to a thermoelectric power
plant on Guam, before and after release of plant
effluent. The before study shows corals of the
reef front, submarine terrace, and seaward
slope to be devastated because of a recent in-
festation by the crown-of-thorns starfish,
Acanthaster planci (L.). Introduction of the ef-
fluent is shown to be responsible for recent
destruction of reef margin corals. Effluent is
found to stratify beyond the surf zone and is no
longer a threat to benthic organisms. Coral
transect studies show an increase in recent
coral re-colonization on the reef front, terrace
and slope since the Acanthaster infestation. No
such recovery is evident in benthic habitats of
the reef margin, exposed to effluent. Thermal
simulation experiments, performed on a series
of reef corals in the laboratory, suggest mean
upper tolerance limits for the corals between 30
and 33C. These temperatures are common on
the reef margin adjacent to the power plant.
Sublethal elevation of temperature is shown to
reduce growth rate in some of the coral spe-
cies.

Smog chamber methodology was reviewed
with respect to its present status and utility in
developing photochemical pollution control
strategies. Measurement of NO and O3 in
chamber atmospheres was judged to be
satisfactory; measurement of N02, non-
methane hydrocarbon, and sulfate presented
problems. Surface effects and background
contamination problems were minimal in large
(hundreds of cubic feet) chambers made of
Teflon film. Compared to indoor chambers, out-
door chamber operations were less costly and
yielded more valid data in some respects.
Specific sets of smog chamber data were used
to estimate oxidant-related control require-
ments for California's South Coast Air Basin.
Such estimates were judged to be more useful
relative to those based on aerometric data anal-
ysis in that the role of NOx in oxidant formation
was considered quantitatively. Other applica-
tions of smog chamber methodology in
photochemical air pollution research were
discussed.

The acute toxicity of residual chlorine was
determined for the copepod Cyclops
bicuspidatus and the rotifer Keratella
cochlearis. The 96-hour TL sub 50 value for
Cyclops was 0.084 mg/l total residual chlorine
added as monochloramine. When Cyclops was
exposed to sodium hypochlorite the 96-hour TL
sub 50 was 0.069 mg/l total residual chlorine.
The 4-hour TL sub 50 value for Keratella was
0.019 mg/l total residual chlorine added as
monochloramine. Chemical studies determined
that sodium sulfite was an efficient, inexpensive
chemical agent for reducing chlorine residuals
which did not produce undesirable by-
products. Bioassay studies indicated that sodi-
um sulfite added to chlorinated water
completely eliminated the acute toxicity of
residual chlorine to both Cyclops bicuspidatus
and Keratella cochlearis. Significant reductions
in the populations of benthic organisms were
observed in the effluent plume area after the
start of chlorination.

in air pollution during periods with and without
photochemical smog development. The in-
vestigation was meant to look into the occur-
rence and possible prevention of combinations
of air pollution parameters. The Institute for
Plant Disease Investigations in Wageningen
took on the additional task of investigating the
effect of air pollution on the development and
growth of various plants with the aid of test
plots and test greenhouses. The results of this
investigation in 1973 are added to this report as
appendices 3A and 3B. Portions of this docu-

1970, required all Federal agencies to assess
their projects or actions for a determination of
significant effects on the quality of the human
environment. Section 102 (2) (c), states the
responsible Federal official must prepare a
detailed Environmental Impact Statement for
any project or action having a significant effect
on the quality of the human environment. In
many cases, responsibility for the environmen-

The paper summarizes analysis of the energy
consumption and air pollution impacts of eight
case studies of new or improved transit ser-
vices. The case studies include (a) areawide bus
service improvement programs involving route
extensions, increased frequencies, new lines,
demand responsive service, and fare reduc-
tions; (b) new corridor exclusive busway ser-
vice on the Shirley Highway and San Bernar-
dino Freeway; and (c) new rail transit service in
the Philadelphia-Lindenwold corridor. Proba-
bilistic models were developed for each of
these three service improvement scenerios to
account for key travel demand and transporta-
tion system factors affecting energy consump-
tion and air pollution impact levels. Results
showed that low patronage response to area-
wide bus improvements as well as diversion
from prior bus service, carpopls, etc. and exten-
sive auto access (park-and-ride, kiss-and-ride)
to corridor systems reduce expected energy
and air pollution gains and may, under certain
conditions found in four case studies, result in
possible energy use increases. Additionally, it
was found that auto use for corridor system ac-
cess may worsen air quality conditions in sub-
urban areas in the vicinity of corridor transit ter-
minal locations.

The study involves an analysis of the cost of
damages that result from the Use of salt
(sodium chloride and calcium chloride) on
highways to melt snow and ice. A large litera-
ture search and several surveys were carried
out in order to determine the types and extent
of damages that have occurred. The report con-
tains over 320 references. An in-depth analysis
was performed on all of the data obtained. The
major cost sectors examined were: Water sup-
plies and health, vegetation, highway struc-
tures, vehicles, and utilities. For each of the
sectors a cost estimate was developed. The
total annual national cost of salt related
damage approaches $3 billion dollars or about
15 times the annual national cost for salt
purchase and application. While the largest
costs result from damage to vehicles, the most
serious damage seems to be the pollution of
water supplies and the degradation of health
which may result. It is particularly difficult to as-
sign costs in this latter area and therefore the
estimate may substantially understate the ac-
tual indirect costs to society.

tion Agency since 1966 have resulted in ad-
vances in technology which can be applied as
alternatives to sewer separation for abating pol-
lution from combined sewers. All the sewerage
facilities (the system) must be evaluated in
order to plan modifications which will provide
the capability to adequately control and treat
wastewaters during and immediately following
storm events. Control facilities such as in and
off-system storage, flow regulation and routing,
remote flow-sensing and control, coupled with
treatment, are applicable solutions. These are
briefly analyzed in this report. Physical, chemi-
cal, biological and physical-chemical treatment
methods are under investigation, with a screen-
ing, dissqlved-air flotation process and a high-
rate multi-media filtration process offering the
best current potential for producing good
quality effluents.

quite apparent that vegetation can be success-
fully established only if certain minimum site
requirements are met and that success can be
achieved much more readily if the minimum
requirements are exceeded. For these reasons,
this manual presents minimum standards that
define the least favorable allowable site and/or

for establishment of vegetation. The functional
purpose of this vegetation is to protect, quickly
as well as permanently, the exposed soil sur-
faces against erosive and mechanical deteri-

Calspan personnel sampled smelter and mill
wastewater outfalls, receiving water, slag
heaps, tailings ponds, and streams, and coal-
burning facility fly ash dumps. The amount of
heavy metals in sediment is greater at any given
time than that dissolved in water, and hence
floodwater erosion of particulate matter
presents a hazard. Up to 17% lead. 0.1% cadmi-
um and 5 ppm thallium were found in sedi-
ments of streams used for irrigation and drink-
ing water below copper and zinc extractive in-
dustries in high runoff regions. Groundwater
infiltration in the Northwest and Ozarks pro-
vides mine drainage water which is used in
mills and/or concentrators. This volume of
water transports toxic wastes into naturally ero-
sive bottom sediments thereby contaminating
the food chain. Heavy metal concentrations in
water and biota are higher in the fall at low
water following benthic accumulations during
the growing season. Metal pickup by algae was
measured in the laboratory. Procedures for de-
tecting and measuring the amount of thallium
by atomic absorption in the presence of high
concentrations of chloride and other ions were
developed.

The majority of heavy trucks operating on the
highway either cross state lines or are trans-
porting goods that cross state lines, and so can
be considered to be engaged in interstate com-
merce. As such they are subject to federal regu-
lations, which, if applied to noise emissions,
would succeed not only in reducing the noise
impact for communities close to heavily
traveled highways, but also in using the power
of federal preemption to provide a consistent
set of noise standards throughout the nation.
The mandate for federal action was provided in
Section 18 of the Noise Control Act of 1972
which required the Environmental Protection
Agency to develop regulations governing the
noise emission of motor carriers engaged in in-
terstate commerce. The first step in the
development of the regulations by EPA was a
definition of the noise characteristics of heavy
trucks as they operate on the highway. This in-
formation was required to provide baseline data
for the existing fleet of trucks and to indicate
the modes of operation for which noise regula-
tions would be most applicable. Accordingly, a
measurement survey was conducted to sample

A synthetic culture medium was developed for
the laboratory culture of Cladophora glomerata
from the Great Lakes. Recognition that
Cladophora requires vitamins B1 and B12 was a
key feature in the successful culture of this
alga. Systematic modifications of the initial cul-
ture solution resulted in an optimum culture
medium in which C. glomerata routinely
produced 500 mg oven-dry algae in a 21-day
period. The quantitative requirements of C.
glomerata for essential inorganic nutrients
were expressed primarily as critical cell con-
centrations, that is minimum cell concentra-
tions which permit maximum yield. C.
glomerata has relatively low critical N and P
concentrations (1.1% and 0.06%, respectively)
but very high B (110 ppm) and S (0.15%) critical
concentrations. Ortho- , pyro-, meta, and
tripoly-P can be utilized in C. glomerata growth
as can NH4 and NO3-N. Phosphite-P is relative-
ly unavailable. Nutrient supplies and limiting
nutrients for Cladophora sp. growth in the
Great Lakes were evaluated by two bioassays,
primarily plant analysis and to some extent the
Fitzgerald tests. Plant analysis assays for P
showed that Cladophora P concentrations cor-
related closely with the recognized pollution of
areas sampled.

Thus, adequate road simulation was achieved.

developed including analysis for SO2, H2S,

N,N-dimethylnitrosamine, hydrocarbon dis-
tribution, and sulfate. No additive-derived
products were found in the study of two com-
mercial additive packages with either catalyst
or non-catalyst engine configurations. The
mileage accumulation schedule used resulted
in overly-high rates of accumulation of intake
manifold deposits for both additive and base
fuels. It is suggested that greater mileage accu-
mulations over a heavier duty cycle will be
necessary to detect the effects of additives on
catalyst deterioration.

The investigation concerns a new, nonintrusive,
low cost, passive flow measurement method to
meet the urgent needs for good management of
storm and combined sewer systems. Operation
of the system is based on sensing the near field
sound emitted by the disturbed flow at a chan-
nel discontinuity. These local pressure pulses
are called pseudosound and radiate as dipole
sound sources orthogonal to the flow direction.
The output signal of passive transducers, such
as accelerometers, attached to the outer wall of
the channel indicates flow rate after processing
by a Fourier Analyzer. Feasibility has been
demonstrated by laboratory tests using full
scale sewer pipe elements, and by a brief series
of field tests measuring sanitary sewage flow.
Recommendations are made for further field
site testing using an instrumented sewer line.

The report gives results of evaluations of the

control methods which may be capable of 99%
removal of total hydrocarbons (HC) emitted
from asphalt-saturating and air-blowing opera-
tions in asphalt roofing plants, sources of HC
emissions for which control technology has not
been well characterized. The evaluations were
based on information from the literature,
theoretical analyses of control systems, and
contacts with equipment manufacturers and
plant operators. An industry survey showed that
thermal incinerators or afterburners are cur-
rently the only technique used to control air-
blowing emissions. Control techniques for
saturator emissions include afterburners, wet
scrubbers, high efficiency air filters (HEAF's),
and electrostatic precipitators (ESP's).
Theoretical analysis of candidate control
systems indicated that thermal afterburners,
HEAF's and ESP's could remove 99% of the
participates, but it is doubtful that wet scrub-
bers could achieve 99% removal. Further device
evaluation, to identify candidate devices to be
recommended for more research and develop-
ment, showed that afterburners are already well
developed and should be capable of 99%
removal; but they cost much more than HEAF's
and ESP's and fuel availability could constrain
widespread use. The report recommends that
pilot scale HEAF's and wet ESP's be tested on
an air-blowing source.

Results of the experiments, including flow

mine the locations where high ground concen-
trations were most likely to occur under the
simulated conditions. In the laboratory, neutral
and stable conditions corresponding to from
typical to adverse cases observed in the at-
mosphere were produced. Four terrain models
with a 1/2500 scale, simulating four wind
directions, were constructed. Under neutral
conditions, the plumes were considerably
diluted within the simulated atmospheric boun-
dary layer. Ground concentrations were low
everywhere on the four models. Under stable
conditions, the plumes were aloft upstream of
the mountains, and ground concentrations
were low. High ground concentrations were
measured in some cases downstream of the
mountains and at the locations where
downslope winds occur. When the pollutants in
the plumes were brought by the downslope
wind into direct contact with the leeward moun-
tain slope, the mean ground concentrations
were high. Based on the results, one of the
most unfavorable situations occurs when a
strongly stable atmosphere is present.

A semi-continuous prototype detector for

designed, fabricated and tested. The sensing
range of the resulting instrument was from less
than 1 micrograms/cu m to over 100 micro-
grams/cu m of suspended nitrate with an analy-
sis time of less than one hour. A series of am-
bient sampling tests were performed with the
prototype instruments run in parallel to three
high volume samplers'. The results of these
tests show that the instrumental measurement
compares well with the high volume sampler
measurements. Temporal variations in
suspended nitrate concentration were moni-
tored showing the feasibility of measuring the
dynamic behavior of nitrate in the atmosphere.
The prototype detector uses a LEAP sampler to
collect atmospheric particulate into aqueous
solution where the soluble nitrate is dissolved.
The resulting solution is analyzed by an ion-
selective electrode technique for nitrate.
Operating and calibrating functions may be

Cross-flow filtration was tested for separation
of water from the effluent of primary or secon-
dary treatment of municipal sewage, after addi-
tion of physical-chemical reagents. In this ap-
proach, the solution being filtered is pumped
parallel to the filter, to slow buildup of flux-
limiting filtercake. In most cases, the filtering
surfaces were 1-inch fabric tubes, manufac-
tured as fire-hose jackets. Results are
presented as functions of pressure, water
recovery, circulation velocity, additive concen-
tration and other variables. With Fe(lll), Al(lll), or
powdered activated carbon (PAC) added to Oak
Ridge primary sewage effluent, filtrate was su-
perior in quality to effluent from activated
sludge secondary treatment, and compared
favorably with reported characteristics of
sewage treated with similar reagents when
solids-liquid separation was accomplished by
settling. Turbidities were usually well below 1
JTU, and bacteria were substantially removed.
With Fe(lll), filtrate total organic carbon (TOC)
typically was 10 to 15 mg/l. and phosphate
below 1 mg/l. With PAC. TOC was lower,
usually about 5 mg/l. but phosphate removal
was poor. With Fe(lll) at about 0.001 M, average
fluxes of about 6 m/d (150 gpd/sq ft) appear at-
tainable at 4.6 m/sec (15 ft/sec) circulation
velocity with 24-hour backwash intervals. On
this basis, we estimate filtrate cost for a 3,800
cum/d (10 raised to the 6th power gpd) plant
using Fe'"il) of 12cents/cu m (46 cent/kgal).
There are reasonable possibilities of lower
costs. Fluxes and product characteristics are
similar when feed is activated sludge secondary
effluent, except that TOC is lower.

The report gives results of an examination of

for sulfur removal, to determine the implica-

when the converted fuels are burned. A sub-
stantial increase in the near future is foreseen
for the use of high-sulfur coal for large scale
steam raising. A major reduction in SO2 emis-
sions from those sources will be required to
meet state and federal standards, either by
desulfurizing the fuel or by removing S02 from
the flue gas. Limited information is available on
the combustion of synthetic fuels but, based on
the data obtained and the nature of the fuels,
little problem is foreseen in meeting effluent
requirements for particulates. Other factors up-
stream of the combustion of those fuels (e.g.,
turbine blade erosion or methanation catalyst
poisoning) seem more likely to determine par-
ticulate removal requirements. The costs of sul-
fur removal by flue gas desulfurization (FGO)
were examined briefly. The cost savings poten-
tially obtained by elimination of effluent par-
ticulate control systems with synthetic fuels
were insignificant in affecting the substantial
cost advantage of FGD versus fuel conversion.

destabilization techniques to remove color
from indigo and sulfur dyeing wastewaters from
a denim textile mill. The investigation included
a feasibility study and subsequent full scale
demonstration flue gas wet scrubbing
techniques for neutralizing caustic waste-
waters. The fly ash adsorption studies demon-
strated that fly ash from a coal-fired boiler can
adsorb and subsequently remove color, BODS,
and COD from biologically treated domestic
and dyeing process wastewaters. The limited
adsorbtion capacity of the fly ash and problems
related to fly ash/wastewater contact made full
scale application impractical. The chemical
destabilization studies included investigation of
11 destabilizing agent combinations, chemical
recycle, and various parameters associated
with sludge handling and disposal. The studies
concluded that calcium hydroxide or aluminum
sulfate could successfully remove color and
produce a supernatant of suitable quality to
recycle. Trie practicability of using coal-fired
boiler flue gases to neutralize caustic waste-
waters was demonstrated on full scale. Caustic
wastewaters were used with a conventional wet
scrubber to successfully neutralize the waste-
waters by SO2 and CO2 absorption from the
flue gas while simultaneously reducing the par-
ticulate emissions.

This study has analyzed the environmental im-
pacts which result from the production of
selected products which use virgin materials
and various amounts of recycled ferrous metals
and aluminum. Determinations were made of
the material, water, and energy requirements of
all stages of virgin and waste materials acquisi-
tion, transportation and processing, as well as
secondary effects such as energy use. Also
determined were the outputs at each stage in-
cluding solid, airborne, and waterborne waste
that are generated, assuming EPA Air Stan-
dards for FY 1975 and Water Standards for FY
1977. The virgin and waste materials systems
were analyzed up to the processing point at
which materials are comparable. Estimates
were also made of the dollar costs to industry to
meet 1975 Air Standards and 1977 Water Stan-
dards. Nine systems which produce carbon
steel from virgin materials and/or obsolete
scrap were examined. The environmental im-
pact analysis for these systems showed that
steel production from virgin materials had the
highest environmental impacts of these
systems. In addition, six systems which
produce aluminum from virgin materials or ob-
solete scrap were examined.

The report gives results of testing 19 coal, oil,
and gas-fired industrial boilers to determine
their normal emissions and the effectiveness of
combustion modifications in reducing NO(x)
emissions without increasing the emission of
particulates and other pollutants. Combustion
modifications investigated were: reducing ex-
cess air, recirculating flue gas, staging com-
bustion air, adjusting burner swirl registers,
reducing combustion air temperature, tuning
the burner, changing atomization pressure, and
changing oil temperature. Emissions were
found to be not significantly dependent on
boiler size, but very dependent on the fuel.
Generally, the normal NO(x) emissions were
below EPA Standards for New Stationary
Sources. Paniculate emissions from oil and gas
were below 43 ng/J (0.1 Ib/million Btu); from
coal, they are above by a factor of 5. NO(x)
reductions of as much as 50% were obtained
with several combustion modifications. In most
instances the boiler heat-loss efficiency was
not degraded. Although paniculate emissions
usually increased, the increase could be limited
by fine-tuning the boiler. There was no signifi-
cant effect on any other pollutant emission.

The establishment of criteria for air pollutants
requires that a threshold level be established
below which no adverse health effects are ob-
served. Since standard dose response curves,
such as the logit or probit, assume an effect at
all levels, a segmented function was developed.
This function has zero slope up to a point, and
then increases monotonically from that point.
Thus the name hockey stick function. The in-
creasing portion need not be linear: any func-
tion that can be fitted by least squares
techniques will work. A method for computing
confidence intervals is also given. Since the
curve can be used as a dose response curve,
some comparisons are made with the more
conventional probit and logit curves. In general,
the fit of the hockey stick curve is as good as
either the logit or probit curve, even when the
data originate from a logit or probit distribution.

Desorption rates of plutonium from silica were
investigated, both as a function of pH and age

California. The 230,000 acre sea is threatened
with rapidly rising salinity levels which, if un-
controlled, are expected to eliminate the cur-
rently valuable sport fishery within the next
decade. Studies were conducted in the Salton
Sea area, to determine the present water quality
of the Salton Sea, its tributaries and major
waste discharges in the basin. Water quality
studies emphasized the nutrient and biological
aspects of the eutrophic Salton Sea but also in-
cluded some work on mineral salts, sediments
and bacteriological indicators.

The present study is the third in a series of pilot
projects. Working from the findings of the earli-
er two papers, the authors have attempted to
quantify some of the relationships between
preference ratings assigned to landscapes and
the specific characteristics of those land-
scapes. Also attempted is an assessment of the
relative validity of several different methods of
investigating landscape quality: in particular, it
was desired to discover which of two experi-
mental methods involving photographs of land-
scapes comes closest to reproducing the
results of experiments involving landscapes
themselves.

In order to evaluate people's demands for new
forms of residential environments (such as
cluster development rather than the spread pat-
tern of suburban sprawl), it may be useful to
deal with persons' residential preferences
directly, rather than their market choice. The
paper develops residential environmental
preference variables from questionnaire survey
data. The preferences may be thought of as
relative tradeoffs among the residence's acces-
sibility, characteristics of the house and lot
(e.g., lot size), the quality of the natural environ-
ment, and characteristics of the non-natural en-
vironment (e.g., population density). At the
same time, comparable measures are devised
of the characteristics of the persons' present
residences—their residential choice.

Water quality problems in the Lower American
River due to nutrient enrichment of surface
waters by treated waste effluents are expected
to become important during low-flow years
starting in 1975. The operation of the Bureau of
Reclamation's Auburn-Folsom South Unit as
presently proposed is not expected to signifi-
cantly influence these water quality conditions.
Regulation of the flow of the Lower American
River by altering the proposed method of
operation of this unit could postpone the onset
of such problems. Such action would be of tem-
porary value, however, and the least costly
long-term solution would require control of
Lower American River water quality by diver-
sion of future incremental waste flows to the
Sacramento River and reuse of existing treated
waste flows for parkland irrigation.

This study reviews the current PCB data base to
assess the PCB levels in the environment on a
national level: .the full spectrum of PCB levels
reported in man and the environment were of
interest. Data were obtained from a number of
national monitoring programs, the literature
and many unpublished reports. The data ex-
amined .was inclusive to December 1, 1975. It
should be stressed at the outset, that due to the
complexity and difficulty of PCB identification
and measurement, that levels reported are not
really comparable between different investiga-
tors. This aspect could not be compensated for
or identified in the data presented.

Six prototype crushed limestone barrier instal-
lations were constructed in Trough Creek in
South Central Pennsylvania to demonstrate the
neutralizing ability of this type structure in low-
iron acidic streams. Limestone barrier per-
formance was excellent during periods of low
streamflow, in terms of reducing acidity and
raising the pH of the water, but their effective-
ness was marginal at design or average stream-
flow, and they were ineffective when high ru-
noffs were experienced. Limestone barrier per-
formance deteriorates after the structures are
initially constructed and placed in operation,
because progressive accumulations of sedi-
ment clog interstices between the stones,
which lessens the hydraulic conductivity of the
barriers, and surfaces of the stones become
coated with silt, which causes a reduction in
reactivity of the reagent (limestone) with flow-
ing acidic water. The design of limestone bar-
riers should take these factors into account,
and the units should be sized sufficiently large
to overcome this deficiency.

engines had exhaust emission or fuel economy
advantages, there were always sacrifices in
other areas. Eleven engines were configured,
four of which were specifically directed towards
the secondary emission targets. A method of
rating the engines was derived, and the design
concepts were compared with two gasoline en-
gines by a jury panel. The overall result was that
the Ford PROCO and Honda CVCC combustion
processes were serious contenders to the
gasoline engine at the primary emission target.
and that both of these systems, together with
the VW combustion process, might be suitable
at the secondary targets.

out over the range 35 to 278 micrograms per
cubic meter of air sampled. Collected samples
were found to decay at a critical temperature-
dependent rate. The rate of decay increases
five-fold for every 10 degree centigrade in-
crease in temperature over the range 20 to 40
degrees. The rate of decay is independent of
concentration over the range studied, and the
decay reaction follows first-order kinetics. A
mathematical model was developed that allows
sample decay to be calculated if the tempera-
ture history of the sample is known. Tempera-
ture specifications and changes in the
procedures necessary to eliminate the decay
problem are proposed.

of HCB were associated with the production of
lower chlorinated hydrocarbons than with the
production of other chemicals. HCB levels in
soil and air at the pentachloronitrobenzene
plant were relatively high. The levels of HCB as-
sociated with plants producting chlorine and
triazine herbicides were very low. Several dif-
ferent waste-disposal methods were used at the
perchloro- and trichloroethylene plants that
were sampled. The highest level of HCB was de-

December 1976
Research was conducted to develop test
methodology to determine the effect of fuel and
fuel additives on control devices for automotive
exhaust emissions. Monolithic and beaded
noble metal catalysts were tested on engine
dynamometers. Two fuel additives, a man-
ganese octane improver and an amine deter-
gent, were evaluated and the data compared
with data from baseline fuel tests. The results of
this comparison were then compared with
results obtained from three vehicles equipped
with beaded catalysts operated on the three
fuel combinations. A testing procedure is
recommended. In addition to gaseous emis-
sions, a very limited number of paniculate sam-
ples was collected and analyzed for trace ele-
ments. No significant catalyst attrition was
noted.

A sampling and analysis program was con-

tal contamination by hexachlorobutadiene
around nine chemical manufacturers. The
plants selected represented six major indus-
tries: perchloroethylene. trichlorpethylene, car-
bon tetrachloride, chlorine, triazine herbicides,
and pentachloronitrobenzene. Air, water, soil,
and sediment samples were collected on and
around the plants. In general, higher levels of
HCBD in air were associated with production of
perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene while
the level in the vicinity of chlorine and triazine
herbicide plants was very low. No HCBD was
found in the air at the pentachloronitrobenzene
plant. The highest level of HCBD in air and soil
was at a plant using on-site landfill and open pit
storage waste-disposal methods. High levels
were detected in loading and transfer areas at
plants using off-site disposal methods.

The report gives results of extensive tests of a

of a coal-fired utility boiler burning a mixture of
petroleum coke and anthracite silt. The tests
were conducted to determine the total mass
and fractional efficiencies of the baghouse dur-
ing normal and abnormal operation with brand
new and used filter bags. Total mass samplers,
inertial impactors, and a condensation nuclei
counter were used to sample the baghouse in-
fluent and effluent. Results of the normal tests
with the brand new and used bags determined
the baghouse mean mass removal efficiencies
to be 99.88 and 99.93%, respectively. Statistical
analysis of the test results showed that the pur-
posely altered variables had no significant ef-
fect on either the outlet concentration or
penetration for normal and abnormal tests of
the used bags. However, there were significant
differences in the outlet concentrations and
penetrations when the normal tests were com-
pared for the new and used bags. There were
also significant differences in the outlet con-
centrations when the new bag normal and ab-
normal tests were compared.

aboard the M/T Vulcanus in the Gulf of Mexico
from October 1974 through January 1975 under
an ocean dumping permit issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency under the
authority of the Marine Protection, Research,
and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended, to
the Shell Chemical Company in Deer Park,
Texas, for ocean incineration of organochlorine
wastes. The report describes the monitoring ac-
tivities undertaken to evaluate ocean incinera-
tion as a disposal method. A total of 16.800 met-
ric tons of waste were incinerated at a max-
imum rate of 25 metric tons per hour with a
1200C minimum and a 1350C average flame
temperature. Stack gas emissions were men-
tioned for plume dispersion characteristics and
to determine combustion efficiency. The
findings indicate that more than 99.9 percent of
the wastes were oxidized. Marine monitoring
surveys indicate that there were no measurable
increases in concentrations of trace metals and
organochlorides in the water and marine life.

The role of arsenic (and its compounds) in the
environment and in the economy of the United
States was studied, to evaluate the need for and
the projected effect of controlling its produc-
tion, use, dissipation, and emission. The occur-
rence, chemistry, and toxicology were
reviewed; the prevalence of arsenic as an impu-
rity in commercial raw materials, processes,
and products was systematically documented;
the intentional commercial flow of arsenical
products was quantified; the sources of pollu-
tion were identified and characterized; and the
health hazards were evaluated. The intentional
production and use of arsenic and its com-
pounds is greatly exceeded by the quantities
unintentionally mobilized by industrial activi-
ties. The arsenic currently in food and water
presents no identifiable health hazard, and the
present controls on arsenical products, by a

The report describes a study of air pollutants
emitted by the mixed fertilizer industry, consist-
ing of three types of mixing plants: ammonia-
tion/granulation (A/G) (195 plants), bulk blend
(5,640 plants), and liquid mix (2,768 plants). The
potential environmental effect of this source
was evaluated, using source severity (defined
as the ratio of the maximum ground-level con-
centration of an emission to the ambient air
quality standard for criteria pollutants or to a
modified TLV for non-criteria pollutants).
Source severity factors for paniculate emis-
sions from A/G, bulk blend, and liquid mix
plants are 0.1, 0.14, and 0.01, respectively.
Severity factors for ammonia from A/G and
liquid mix plants are 0.26 and 0.01, respectively.
A/G plants (excluding diammonium phosphate
plants) produced 45% of all mixed fertilizers in
1973;. bulk blend and liquid mix plants
produced 32% and 23%, respectively. Primary
emissions from A/G plants are NH3 and particu-
lates. Only particulates are emitted from bulk
blend plants. Primary emissions from liquid mix
plants are NH3 and particulates. Each of the
emission values (for each pollutant from each
source) is less than 0.1% of the corresponding
national emissions of that material from all sta-
tionary sources.

the Ketchikan Pulp Mill Company, located a few
miles north of Ketchikan, Alaska. The Ketchikan
Pulp Company operates a magnesium base
bisulfate process pulp mill at this cove. Produc-

The report summarizes information from the
literature concerning parameters which can be
used to estimate the transport of transuranic
elements through plants to man. Plant uptake
results from root uptake and deposition of con-
tamination on above-ground surface areas of
the plant. Deposition on plant surfaces occurs
from both the initial contamination cloud and
resuspension of contaminated soil. Generally, a
deposition interceptor factor (pCi on vegetation
per unit area subtended by the vegetation, per
pCi per unit area of ground) of about 0.2 is in-
dicated. A weathering half-life of about 30days
for time periods of about a week after deposi-
tion is suggested. Plant uptake parameters
generally range from 0.000001 to 0.001; how-
ever, some data has been extrapolated to esti-
mate a long-tenn uptake (20 years) of 0.3.

A combination of Lagrangian measurements
and fixed current meter moorings during the
summer of 1974 were used to determine the cir-
culation patterns of Saginaw Bay. Because the
bay is shallow, the water responds rapidly to
wind changes. . Distinct circulation patterns
were determined for a southwest wind and a
northeast wind. The water motions in the inner
bay are driven almost solely by wind stress
whereas the outer bay is also influenced by the
circulation of Lake Huron and by the geometry
of the area, tnertial oscillations are the most
dominant periodic component of the flow.
Seiche motions of Lake Huron and the bay itself
were detected, but they are of little importance
in determining gross circulation of the bay.

The report discusses problems associated with
testing fuels, fuel additives and their com-
bustion products for potential public health
problems. Conclusions follow: (1) Initial evalua-
tion of safety of a new fuel-additive combina-
tiorV should include comparison between a
standard fuel and the new combination. (2)
Biologic methods suggested for initial evalua-
tion should be sensitive to the possibility that
known human health effects from such sources
may increase or diminish. (3) Separate con-
siderations and more extensive research on
most metal-containing additives should be
required because of their persistence in the en-
vironment and their tendency to accumulate in
the body. (4) All methods will need careful
validation and inter-laboratory studies. (5) In-
terpreting results of studies on combustion
products is difficult at best; decisions should be
made, by informed scientists. (6) Appropriate
epidemiologic and analytic studies should be
conducted whenever new fuel-additive com-
binations are introduced.

California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is
formed at the confluence of the southward
flowing Sacramento River and the northward
flowing San Joaquin River where the waters
join to flow into the Pacific Ocean via San Fran-
cisco Bay. Both the federal Central Valley Pro-
ject and the State Water Project store water in
the Sacramento River system and export it
southward from the Delta. Water quality main-
tenance (salinity control) in the Bay-Delta
system is accomplished by a hydraulic barrier
sustained with reservoir releases in the other-
wise low-flow (rainless) summer and fall
periods. Water allocated to this purpose flows
into the Bay and Pacific Ocean; it cannot be ex-
ported. This study presents the historic, social,
economic, legal, institutional and engineering
conflicts that surround these two competing
water uses.

which would yield the same information output.
The first approach, requiring two levels of sam-

direct single effort to achieve the same level of
information for decision-making as the phased
approach. In the test cases, costed from sample
acquisition through analysis, the phased sam-
pling and analytical approach was the most
cost effective.

The report gives results of a study of the use of
coal or residual-oil gasification to produce a
hydrogen/carbon monoxide-rich gas for use as
a reductant for regenerate flue gas desul-
furization (FGD) processes. Two different
reduction systems are considered: one for the
type of FGD process that produces a concen-
trated SO2 stream; the other, for the type that
uses a liquid-phase Claus reactor. Detailed data
on the composition of the raw gas from several
gasifiers are analyzed. To supplement the data
on trace constituents in the gas, thermodynam-
ic calculations were made to determine the
equilibrium gas-phase concentrations for a typ-
ical coal and typical gasification conditions.
Mass transfer was calculated to determine the
extent to which certain gaseous species could
be removed by water-washing of the gas. The
effects of the remaining trace constituents on
the components of the reduction systems are
analyzed. Additional research on trace con-
stituents and their effects are recommended.
The capital and operating costs for reductant
systems based on gasification of coal and
residual oil are estimated and compared with
those for reduction systems based on natural
gas.

As part of the Commonwealth of Mas-

(AQMP) procedure, this study evaluates the
economic costs associated with implementa-
tion of two strategies for attainment and short-
term maintenance of paniculate standards.
Both strategies are proposed for application to
the City of Worcester. They are as follows: (1)
replacement of marginal burners with more
energy efficient modern equipment; and (2)
conversion of sources using residual oil to the
use of lighter fuels and/or fuels of lower sulfur
content. The analysis has included only the
economic costs to owners of affected facilities.
The study was prepared in order to sub-
sequently coordinate the results with an air pol-
lution control effectiveness analysis to be un-
dertaken separately.

Laboratory investigations were conducted in a
stably stratified towing tank to investigate the
effects of stability and terrain on plume disper-
sion under extreme atmospheric conditions. A
three dimensional idealized model hill
(Gaussian shaped saddle) at a scale of 1:2500
was towed through the tank to simulate flow
over complex terrain. With reference to plume
dispersion over flat terrain, the complex terrain
effects revealed from visualization results are
(1) the plume rise and spread increases as a
result of the reduction of local flow speed-the
upstream blocking phenomenon; (2) the plume
tends to flow around rather than over the hill,
which greatly enhances the lateral spread; (3)
pollutants accumulate in the semi-stagnant re-
gion immediately upstream and below the ridge
line; and (4) downstream of the ridge, pollu-
tants carried over and around the model remain
aloft for small Froude number but are carried
downward along the lee surface as the Froude
number increases. Some quantitative measure-
ments were made as well. A feasibility study of
numerical simulation of plume dispersion in
stably stratified flow oyer complex terrain was
also conducted. It is shown that a small Froude
number expansion technique may be useful for
modeling single source diffusion problems
when the source lies below the mountain tops.
Several methods are discussed for the imposi-
tion of radiation boundary conditions in numer-
ical calculations.

Recently there has been increased concern
about hazard to crop workers who enter fields
or orchards following application of pesticides.
In past years one of the more toxic or-
ganophosphorus pesticides, parathion (O.O-
diethyl O-p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate) has,
on rare occasions, caused illness in workers ex-
posed to residues during hand fruit thinning
operations in apple orchards in the State of
Washington (QUINBY and LEMMON 1958). The
purpose of the present study was to determine
if there is any increase in residue levels of
parathion or more toxic conversion products as
a result of repeated weekly applications to
apple and peach trees. Alterations of parathion
by photochemical, hydrolytic, and metabolic
processes might lead to increased hazard to
crop workers who have intimate contact with
treated foliage.

In studies of potential exposure of a volunteer
working under controlled conditions during
apple hand-thinning operations at 1,24,48,72,
96,168, and 240 hr after application of conven-
tional 0.03% parathion spray both dermal and
respiratory exposure values were greater where
waler-wettaWe powder formulations were used
than where emulsifiables were used. Residue
levels of parathion on leaves from the two types
of applications were about the same. Only trace
amounts of paraoxon could be detected at one
and seven days after application. Highest expo-
sure values (14.2 mg/hr dermally and 0.15
mg/hr respiratorily) were obtained within 24 hr
of application. Exposure was considerably less
after residues were 72 hr old. Greatest exposure
was on the forearms and hands. Potential expo-
sure values indicate that absorption could
reach hazardous levels after one or two hr of
work, even at the 96-hr residue period, if all the
pesticide were absorbed. Considering that only
a small fraction of the total amount would be
absorbed, it is calculated that at 72-hr residue
period poisoning should not occur.

The problem of accelerated eutrophication may
be defined as the state of a body of water result-

system supports an imbalance in the biological
production and creates a nuisance or inter-

survey of the problem of accelerated eutrophi-
cation, including a definition of the mechanism
of eutrophication and an eval uation of probable
sources and nature of the pollutional loads
responsible for eutrophication. The problem in-
volves a consideration of the type and quantity
of nutrient material, especially nitrogen and
phosphorus, from the point of view of control
and the frequency and intensity of algal
blooms. Both quantitative and qualitative data
can be used to indicate the scope of the
problem.

People who become involved in activities
requiring exposure to pesticides should be
aware of the potential hazards involved as a
result of absorption of toxic compounds. If a
person is knowledgeable about such hazards
and understands the importance of taking
proper precautions, he can do much to insure
the safety of himself and others. Although ill-
nesses resulting from over-exposure to toxic
compounds do occur among applicators and
other workers, most are a result of carelessness
or accident. Experience has shown that if
proper precautionary measures are observed
and directions on the pesticide label are fol-
lowed, even the more toxic compounds can be
used safely. Exposure to less toxic compounds
should not be ignored.

Acute exposure to benzene produced toxic ef-
fects on the central nervous system; however.
in order to evaluate the chronic effects, con-
sideration must be given to the myelotoxic and
possible chromosome-damaging and leu-
kemogenic effects of benzene. Most cases of
severe benzene intoxication have been re-
ported in workers exposed to rather high con-
centrations of benzene under somewhat unhy-
gienic working conditions. It has been sug-
gested that 'benzene-induced leukemia' may
occur only in individuals who are highly sensi-
tive because of genetic constitution or because
of synergistic action of other chemical or physi-
cal environmental agents. A co-leukemogenic
role for benzene would explain the failure to in-
duce leukemia in benzene-exposed animals.
Based on available literature, it can be con-
cluded that benzene may be associated with
leukemia, therefore, benzene must be con-
sidered a suspect leukemogen. Aplastic anemia
associated with benzene exposure may well
represent the most significant health hazard.

essentially defined by an isolated pocket of coal
that has been extensively deep and strip mined
within the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Field.
The Tioga River watershed is subjected to acid
mine drainage from abandoned mines in the
vicinity of the Borough of Blossburg and the
Village of Morris Run. The proposed demon-
stration project is recommended: (1) to demon-
strate effective techniques for mine drainage
abatement, (2) to reduce a specific mine
drainage problem, and (3) to restore portions of
a mined area to their approximate original sur-
face grade. Techniques to be demonstrated in-
clude: restoration of strip pits utilizing agricul-
tural limestone and sewage sludge as soil con-
ditioners, burial of acid-forming materials
within strip mines that are to be restored, and
reconstruction and lining of a stream channel.

in order that they may control and direct this
activity more efficiently. In meeting this major
objective, a secondary requirement consisted
of minimizing the data input effort by this
branch. To meet this requirement the great bulk
of work required to produce the management
reports was carried out by the computer, and
minimal input data preparation was adhered to.

December 1976
A very important role in the pathogenesis of sil-
icosis and berylliosis has been attributed to the
interaction of silicone and beryllium with
proteins. Since the above compounds reach the
organism mainly through the respiratory
pathways, it is natural to expect the greatest
changes in the proteins of the lung. The objec-
tive has been to make a comparative study of
the soluble lung proteins in experimental silico-
sis and berylliosis. Data on the contents of solu-
ble lung protein in experimental silicosis and
berylliosis show that the changes occur in op-
posite directions. While under conditions of ex-
perimental silicosis, a sharp decrease takes
place in protein concentration when its total
content in the tissue is almost unchanged, in
berylliosis, on the contrary, an increase in total
protein content is observed and a lack of
change in protein concentration. With regard to
the dry weight of lungs, it characteristically in-
creases both in silicosis and in berylliosis. The
increase in the weight of the lungs in rats with
experimental berylliosis coincides in time with
the marked increase in the total amount of solu-
ble proteins. No such relationship was found in
silicosis.

serve as auxiliary materials in the textile, light

problem could be solved several ways, the most
important of which is remodelling existing
maize-processing plants and building in
southern regions of the USSR a number of new
giant combines with a capacity of processing
100-450 T of maize per day. The specific pro-
perties of potato starch are responsible for its
primary value as a food product (in the form of
dry jellies, pudding flour, etc.), in connection
with which potato raw material should primarily
be turned to the production of starch and grain
used for syrup and glucose. The production of
potato starch will require building a number of
new plants, primarily of small capacity, in east-
ern regions of the RSFSR.

The XXI Congress of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union posed the task of complete
utilization of raw resources and sharp reduc-
tion of the consumption of foodstuffs in the
production of ethyl alcohol. Potatoes in indus-
try are primarily used in two branches - starch
and alcohol (the vegetable drying industry
requires only a small amount). The combined
conversion of potatoes into starch and alcohol
has been of concern in the USSR since 1930-
1935. These works are also now being con-
ducted. Two variants can be used in the com-
bined conversion of potatoes to starch and al-
cohol: the organization in starch plants of de-
partments to produce alcohol from residual
starch in middlings and discarded cell juice,
and the organization in alcohol plants of de-
partments to produce raw starch and further
process starch waste into alcohol in continuous
distillation units.

In connection with the increased manufacture
of synthetic alcohol the production load of al-
cohol plants converting agricultural raw materi-
als has been reduced recently. At the same
time, because of inadequate capacities of
starch plants, the production of food starch,
nevertheless, lags behind demands. Therefore,
the organization of combined conversion of
potatoes to alcohol, starch and feed in alcohol
plants located in well-developed potato grow-
ing regions is one of the most rational and
prospective directions in the operation of many
alcohol plants. Combined processing of
potatoes will make it possible to increase the
output of starch enormously, make most effi-
cient use of the technical and raw material base
of alcohol plants, and at the same time more
completely utilize the entire composition of
processed potatoes.

artificial biological purification, in place of the
presently used natural purification in filtration
fields or in biological reservoirs, were built at
the Chervonoznamen Sugar Plant (Odessa Re-

scheme is accomplished in very tall biological
filters, packed with foam glass lumps. The
technological scheme of the artificial biological
purification provides for separate mechanical
purification of industrial effluents of the third
category and of housekeeping-fecal effluents.

It seems that oil shale ash was even more effec-
tive than lime tuff and lake lime. On the basis of
the investigations conducted by A. Khallik, the
use of oil shale ash in acid soil was adopted.
Today, only shale ash and clinker (cement) dust
are employed in the Estonian SSR for liming
acid soils. Of the total amount of employed lime
fertilizers, more than 70% are made up by dust
materials - dust oil shale ash and cement dust,
although the use of the latter was only begun in
1964. The named waste products are ideally
fine and are absolutely dry. This report covers
its chemical composition and goes into field tri-
als with different types of soils.

At 6 p.m. on June 6,1975, a southbound tractor-
semitrailer (truck) collided with a northbound
intercity-type bus near Hamilton, Georgia. The
bus was the second vehicle of a four-vehicle
convoy. Two southbound automobiles were
waiting for the convoy to pass before the first
could turn left into a driveway. The truck was
following the automobiles: when the
truckdriver attempted to avoid the cars, his
truck jackknifed and collided with the bus. The
vehicles collided on a two-lane highway in a
sparsely populated, rural area; a light-to-
moderate rainshower was in progress. The
truckdriver and busdriver were killed in the col-
lision and 19 of the 20 bus passengers were in-
jured. The National Transportation Safety
Board determines that the probable cause of
this accident was the failure of the truckdriver
to operate at a proper speed and with a proper
level of attention to and concern for safe driv-
ing.

Analyses of the air made to determine the con-

the mix formulas, have shown that phthalate
plasticiters occupy a leading position among
them. The highest concentrations were deter-
mined at the work sites of the roll mill opera-
tors, calendar machine operators and coating
machine operators. Carbon monoxide,
hydrogen chloride, vinyl chloride and also
polyvinyl chloride resin dust, lead and cadmium
compounds were detected in small amounts in
the air at the production areas along with the
plasticiters. In addition, the air temperature in
the production sites mentioned (in the vicinity
of the roll mills and calendar machines) is
higher during the operations, while the physical
stress varies. The toxicity of a group of phtha-
late plasticiters (dimethyl-, diethyl-, dibntyl-and

through which they enter the organism was in-
vestigated along with the studies made in vivo

The regions in Armenia that were studied are
biogeochemical provinces infiltrated by molyb-
denum. The content of molybdenum in the
soils, waters, and living organisms in these
provinces exceed the usual concentration of
this element in other regions. Maximum quanti-
ties of molybdenum are found in slightly al-
kaline and neutral soils, as well as in soils the
features of which are high contents of organic
matter. It is in these soils that the molybdenum
is most available for plants. Biochemical
research resulted in findings of definite reac-
tions on the part of animal organisms to an
elevated content of molybdenum in the en-
vironment. An endemic disease that is similar in
its symptoms to podagra develops in man
within the limits of, the Ankayan molybdenum
province. The disease is accompanied by an in-
creased blood molybdenum content, increased
excretion from the organism of copper, in-
creased xanthine oxidase activity, and an in-
crease in blood uric acid content.

denum (Mo) salts and oxides of concern to in-
dustrial hygiene. The technology used is briefly
described and the main adverse factors in the
industry under consideration are pointed out
with particular emphasis on the pollution of the
atmosphere by dust containing W, Mo and
SIO2. High concentrations of irritating gases
(NH3, HCI. H2S) were recorded in the air in in-
dustrial production areas and work sites. Due to
existing work conditions, dust induced fibrosis
and a high level of chronic afflictions involving
the upper respiratory tract were noted among
the workers. The paper compares working con-
ditions at two plants with different mechanized
technology levels and demonstrates the im-
portance of advanced technology in the im-
provement of work hygiene in the industry stu-
died.

It has been established that damage to bronchi
is the most frequent late after-effect of intoxica-
tion by chlorine, phosgene, oxides of nitrogen
and sulfur dioxide. Victims poisoned by these
gases subsequently suffer inflammatory
processes in the bronchi, bronchieclasis, ab-
scesses, emphysema of the lungs and pneu-
mosclerosis with symptoms of functional
respiratory disturbance. These changes caused
by chlorine, phosgene and formalin poisoning
can appear with attacks of bronchial asthma. In
addition, instances are described of more
frequent cancer of the lung in persons with oc-
cupational pneumosclerosis of toxico-chemical
etiology. However, many questions concerning
the remote after-effects of acute intoxication by
substances irritating respiratory passages are
inadequately covered in the literature. There-
fore, the purpose of the study was to investigate
late after-effects of acute occupational
poisonings by several substances which irritate
respiratory passages.

Pollution of the atmosphere with various gases,
dust, and aerosols, which are copiously
discharged by industrial enterprises, creates
extremely unfavorable conditions for planting
greenery in their territory and for raising
agricultural crops. Under these conditions,
plants surfer a sharp loss in their productivity
and often die. The harmful effect of gas in the
same concentration varies, depending upon the
species of plant, weather conditions, and the
age of the leaf. There are species, as well as
specific individuals within a single species, that
are distinguished by increased gas resistance.
Among the many problems related to the gas
resistance of plants, attention is given to clarify-
ing the causes of differing degrees of re-
sistance of individual species and of individuals
to the toxic gases, to their harmless concentra-
tions, and to their effect on photosynthetic ac-
tivity.

was found that the largest source of ionizing
radiation dose to the population was 10 million
person-rem from ambient ionizing radiation.
The second largest dose was 3 million person-
rem from use of radio-pharmaceuticals. About
3 million person-rem were also attributed to

Doses from all other source categories, for
which data were available, resulted in less than

site, plastics represent an average of less than 2
percent of the solid waste stream today, and
even at the projected rapid rate of growth of
plastic use, plastic wastes are not expected to
exceed an average of 3 percent by 1980. This
projection assumes little or no change in the
material composition of the solid waste stream.
If, however, other materials such as paper,
metal, and glass are recycled, the percentage of
plastics in solid wastes will increase. But in
contrast to the other major materials, plastics
are not now being extensively recycled from the
consumer. This study, therefore, examines the
possibility of promoting the recycling of
plastics—considering the technical and
economic impediments: and it further provides
the methodology for investigating other materi-
als in the disposal area.

An important task of EPA's resource recovery
program is to identify and promote methods to
recycle the valuable materials that we now
throw away. The following directory testifies to
the strength of citizen interest and participation
in resource conservation. All the recycling pro-
jects listed, whether citizen, municipal, or in-
dustrial, serve as points of contact between in-
dividuals who wish to conserve resources and
manufacturers who can reuse them as raw
materials. The National Recycling Project
Directory is the result of many months of infor-
mation gathering. Many centers which are
listed will have ceased to function by the time of
publication: many more will have come into
being. Materials accepted, contact persons, ad-
dresses, and phone numbers will have
changed. A tear-off sheet is provided in the
back of the book. It is hoped that concerned
citizens will use it to inform us of any changes
they have found. A second edition of this
directory is planned for the spring of 1974 to in-
corporate these changes. The directory is or-
ganized by state and city in alphabetical order.

and municipal sewage systems and to ascertain
if any industries or cities are currently engaged
in the removal of boron from their wastewater.
For those methods currently practiced, the
specific method of removal, effectiveness, and
cost estimates were determined. The current
literature was surveyed for other methods of
boron removal that may have merit for future
application in this area. Efficiency of boron
removal and cost estimates were presented for
several of the possible methods. A survey of the
literature was also conducted to determine the
effect of boron on microorganisms present in
municipal waste treatment systems.

The present study was a preliminary attempt to
determine the feasibility of using cancer mor-
tality data to indicate the carcinogenic effects
of possible arsenic exposure in the environ-
ment. The four census tracts for which fifty per-
cent of the areas lay within a 3/4 mile radius of
an arsenical-producing insecticide plant were
matched by such demographic characteristics
as age, race, sex, and socioeconomic status
with all other similar tracts in Baltimore City.
The matching tracts were then subdivided ac-
cording to suspected differences in exposure to
environmental pollution. The lung cancer mor-
tality was higher for the combined tracts ad-
jacent to the plant as compared to the control
tracts. The lung cancer mortality for the tract in
which the plant was located was three to four
times higher than in controls tracts, a dif-
ference which was significant. The data also
support a northerly gradient in rates with in-
creasing distance from the plant.

Oxidation of odorous vapors at the anode of an
electrochemical cell was studied as a promising
approach to achieving instrumental analysis of
odors. The technique of linear potential sweep
cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the
oxidizability of several amines, sulfides, and
their mixtures on platinum, gold, glassy-car-
bon, carbon paste, and graphite electrodes.
Results of the analyses of individual amines
showed that the ease of oxidation on a platinum
electrolyte was: tertiary Secondary primary.
Results for runs conducted on mixtures con-
taining combinations of primary, secondary,
and tertiary amines indicated that separate cur-
rent peaks were not obtained for the various
amines. Instead, a composite peak was ob-
tained for any given mixture. Results for sul-
fides using a platinum electrode indicated that
allyl sulfide, n-butyl sulfide and tert-butylsulfide
could be oxidized in acetonitrile solution with
0.1 M NaCI04 as supporting electrolyte. The
order was: tert-butylsulfide >n-butylsulfide >
allylsulfide. When amines and sulfides were
mixed, a clear separation of the peaks was ob-
served. The results indicate that it is possible to
characterize a mixture of amines and sulfides
by linear potential sweep cyclic voltammetry.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the
feasibility of an in-situ across-the-stack optical
technique to measure the mass of paniculate
emissions from stationary sources. The
technique uses small angle light scattering and
transmittance to determine a quantity closely
related to particulate mass concentration. The
forward scattered light is measured at an angle
of 1 deg or less. The technique has been in-
vestigated both theoretically using Mie theory.
and experimentally using aerosols produced in
the laboratory. The experimental results agree
with the theoretical predictions and indicate
that the method is relatively insensitive to
changes in aerosol parameters such as particle
size, refractive index, and shape.

The report gives results of fractional and overall
mass efficiency tests of a full-scale Rexnord
gravel bed filter system used to control panicu-
late emissions from a Portland cement plant
clinker cooler. Total flue gas paniculate mass
concentrations and emission rates were deter-
mined at the inlet and outlet of the gravel bed
system by conventional (Method 5) techniques.
Inlet and outlet emission rates as function of
size were determined on a mass basis using
cascade impactors for sizes from about 0.5 to 5
micrometers, and on a number basis for sizes
smaller than about 1- micrometer using optical
and diffusional methods. The report briefly
describes the Portland cement process, the
Rexnord gravel bed filter system, the measure-
ment methods, inlet and outlet panicle size dis-
tribution data, and fractional efficiencies.

The relative risks to man from radionuclides
released to the environment depend heavily on
their accumulation or concentration by aquatic
organisms. The organisms which accumulate
those radionuclides present in the environment
may be useful as indicators for environmental
monitoring purposes. In addition, these organ-
isms may be directly in food chain pathways to
humans. Literature is reviewed and sum-
marized in regard to biological concentration of
radionuclides in freshwater and marine en-

found in organisms are tabulated for plants, in-

It is necessary to assure that monitoring mea-
surements are directly related to the population
of highest risk and that the major sources of
pollutants are clearly identified and quantified.
An integrated monitoring system is a systems
approach for providing the information neces-
sary to permit efficient control of those sources
of pollutants causing major threats to the popu-
lation of highest risk. A 'Workship for the
Design of a Pollutant-Oriented Integrated Moni-
toring System' convened by EPA in March 1974
summarized the elements of such a systems ap-
proach and discussed those information needs
yet to be satisfied by basic monitoring research.

As part of the radiation quality assurance pro-

solutions are distributed to participating
laboratories for instrument calibration and yield
determinations. Laboratory performance stu-
dies involving the analysis of radionuclides in
environmental media are also conducted. A
summary is given of the results of the water
cross-check program for 1974. Examination of
these results reveals that gross beta is the most
difficult (44 percent within the control limits)
and tritium is the least difficult (90 percent
within the control limits) for the laboratories to
analyze. These results indicate the need for im-
provement in analytical procedures for the
radionuclide studies.

The Kansas City Metropolitan Area consists of
three counties in Kansas and five in Missouri
and covers approximately 3,800 square miles.
The area is divided further by the Missouri and
Kansas Rivers. The two largest cities are Kansas
City. Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri. In
1969, the Metropolitan Planning Commission-
Kansas City Region (now Mid-American Re-
gional Council-MARC), carried out a solid
waste management planning study that led to
recommendations about improving the system
in the area. One of the most important recom-
mendations was that sanitary landfilling should
be used to dispose of solid waste collected
within the area. The report considers the fol-
lowing topics: Site selection; site development;
site operation;, environmental assessment;
economic assessment; and, public impact.

Section 205 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act
(Public Law 89-272) as amended requires the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
undertake an investigation and study of
resource recovery. This document, which
represents EPA's Report to the President and
the Congress, summarizes the Agency's in-
vestigations to date and reports on the manner
in which the congressional mandate is being
performed. The findings of this report are based
on a number of contractual efforts and analyses
by the Agency staff performed since the
passage of the Resource Recovery Act. The re-
port is organized into a summary, four major
sections, and two appendixes. The first section
discusses the problem to which resource
recovery is the potential solution. Next, key
findings related to resource recovery are
presented. A section outlining major options
follows. The report concludes with a discussion
of EPA's program activities in resource
recovery. The appendix presents summaries of
information about the status of resource
recovery, according to material categories and
lists existing resource recovery facilities.

The Lake Superior Basin is experiencing effects
of water pollution and other environmental im-
pairments. This report has identified specific
areas where air and water pollution sources are
interfering with recreational use and lessening
the basin's environmental quality. The fact that
Lake Superior is the only remaining lake qf the
Great Lakes still in a relatively unpolluted con-
dition and that it is the major source of water for
the lower Great Lakes, makes it very urgent that
a pollution prevention philosophy be adopted
as quickly as possible. Close coordination
among all levels of government and private en-
terprise, the use of sound planning, and, most
importantly, the use of effective enforcement
measures will all be necessary in eliminating
existing environmental problem areas and pro-
tecting those areas of high environmental
quality.

The proposed project consists of an interceptor
sewer and a wastewater treatment facility with a
capacity of 0.84 mgd to serve the combined
needs of the Palmer Lake and Monument
Sanitation Districts and the Woodmoor Water
and Sanitation District. A total of approximately
21,000 feet of interceptor has been constructed,
consisting of about 12,600 feet of 12-inch
diameter pipe and 8.900 feet of 10-inch diame-
ter pipe. The proposed treatment facility would
consist of two aerated lagoons followed by a
polishing pond and a Chlorination facility
located on the east bank of Monument Creek at
the site of the existing lagoon belonging to the
Monument Sanitation District. Effluent would
be discharged to Monument Creek which flows
through the project area. The effluent
discharged to Monument Creek would be im-
proved in quality and would meet current water
quality standards. Future population growth in
the area would be assured of adequate sewage
treatment service. About 15 acres of land util-
ized for the treatment facility would be com-
mitted for the life of the project. The project will
make possible a greater density of urban
development, but in general conformance with
local land use planning and zoning.

tion of ambient monitoring data for 1973: and
(4) determination of the monitoring stations
most representative of non-biased sampling
with respect to local influences which cannot
be defined by the Air Quality Display Model. The
results of these activities were used in the
dispersion modeling phase of the AQMA analy-
sis, which is reported in Volume 3 of this study.

The findings of this report are based totally
upon the information which was submitted in
good faith by the various Federal offices. The
Environmental Protection Agency made no at-
tempt to verify or corroborate the information
submitted. The hazardous substances reported
fell into three categories: chemical and biologi-
cal warfare agents, radioactive materials, and
conventional explosive weapons and the
chemicals involved in preparing them. The
Federal installations reporting ultra-hazardous
substances presented in this report are the fol-
lowing: Rocky Mountain Arsenal: AEC Rocky
Flats Plant; Pueblo Army Depot; Fort Carson;
AEC Grand Junction Compound; and Buckley
Air National Guard Base. A complete assess-
ment of the risks involved to the general popu-
lation must await a further evaluation of current
procedures for storing, handling, using and ul-
timately disposing of these substances. The
degree of risk can best be formulated in terms
of a 'maximum probable occurrence,' since
leakage, explosions, fires, or other disasters in-
volving these substances would most likely af-
fect only a portion of the total amount of the
substance listed, and under abnormal circum-
stances that do not occur with much frequency.
The question that has to be answered through
some open public decision-making process, is
whether that risk is worth taking, particularly
when these substances are located in densely
populated urban areas.

evaluation and recommendations were made to
correct the observed problems. After the plant
had been modified a formal technical
assistance project was initiated on March 19.
1973. The first objective of the assistance pro-
ject was to improve effluent quality from the
Vail facility by initiating a series of operational
control tests and analyses. In addition, those
portions of the facility which hindered or
limited successful operation were to be
identified. This report summarizes the results
and findings of the technical assistance project
and proposes several recommendations for fu-

The occurrence of saline seeps in the vicinity of

1970 caused concern, as expressed by the State
of Colorado and landowners. Of special con-
cern was the fact that the seepage occurred
less than two years after the plugging of the so-
called 'Meeker Well' and the Kritsas 1 and 2
wells. Questions arose, obviously, as to whether
'replugging' of wells would correct the
problems caused by seepage and whether land-
restoration (to agricultural productivity)
methods were available. This report presents
the water chemistry and aerial infrared imagery
obtained by EPA to assist in the clarification.

on the Cache La Poudre River and to determine
the characteristics of the waste discharged
from this plant. Because of the close proximity
of Great Western's factory to the Greeley waste-
water treatment facility, and because of other
possible sources of wastes (i.e., feedlots) in the
area, the water quality survey included the en-

Where exact hydrologic parameters were not
measured directly in individual studies, they
were estimated from inferred statements. A
methodology is proposed for the recommenda-
tion of minimum discharges for a warm water
fishery. This method utilizes field measure-
ments of critical stream areas and biological
criteria determined from the use of indicator
species. For large rivers, migration and
spawning requirements are analyzed using the
paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) as the indicator
species. For smaller rivers, the suggested in-
dicator species is the sauger (Stizostedion
canadense). Rearing flows are determined on
the basis of stream productivity by analyzing
macroinvertebrate habitats, and on the basis of
fish habitat typing. The indicator species for
determining adequate fish habitat is the
stonecat (Notorus flavus).

The study was undertaken to describe seasonal
dynamics of various physical and chemical
parameters involved in plankton community
metabolism and to relate findings to nutrient
loading trends previously reported. The im-
portance of various chemical parameters, espe-
cially phosphorous and nitrogen, to standing
crop dynamics of net phytoplankton was evalu-
ated in relation to physical parameters such as
light, turbidity, circulation, and temperature.
The major objective was compilation of
baseline data and clarification of basic
hydrodynamics so that the limnology of
Flathead Lake might finally progress from a for-
mative beginning to a status providing capabili-
ty for informed management.

Sulfur oxide emissions from the non-ferrous
metals industries are causing ambient air quali-
ty standards to be exceeded in four locations in
Montana and Utah. The objective of this plan is
to insure that the national ambient air quality
standards will be achieved by May 30,1975. The
means to this end are described specifically in
each of the six tasks. The tasks are a step-wise
procedure for proceeding to the end objective.
Fulfillment of Task 1 will establish the basis for
development of control regulations. Tasks 2
and 3 will proceed in parallel; completion of
these tasks will result in definition of what con-
trols each smelter will have to meet by May 30,
1975. Task 4 is envisioned to provide the EPA
with the determination of whether or not there
are acceptable alternatives to permanent emis-
sions controls. Task 5 will provide the
mechanism for monitoring the ambient air
quality around each smelter to determine if air
quality standards will be met. Task 6 will pro-
vide the 'watch dog' aspects of the entire plan.

This report presents a region-wide summary of
air monitoring sites which are part of the Na-
tional Air Sampling Network (NASN). The net-
work in Region VIII consists of fifteen sites, all
of which contain one high volume sampler to
measure total suspended paniculate, and seven
of which have. In addition, gas bubblers to mea-
sure ambient concentrations of SO2 and NO2.
Since January 1974. the EPA Regional Office in
Denver has been responsible for network
operation, maintenance, and calibration of
equipment. The operators of the sites are
volunteers from the Forest Service, National
Park Service, or State or local air pollution
agencies. All necessary supplies, including fil-
ters and bubblers, are sent to the operators by
the EPA Regional Laboratory and samples are
returned to the Laboratory after sampling has
occurred. Samples are run from midnight to
midnight (24-hours) on the days indicated by
the 6-day sampling schedule (see Appendix B).
The Laboratory analyzes the samples according
to standard methods and reports concentra-
tions in micrograms per cubic meter of air
(microgram/cu m). Twice each year, EPA per-
sonnel inspect the sites, replace worn equip-
ment and calibrate the instruments. Further
analyses are done on every other filter from
each site by EPA. Filters are analyzed for
nitrates, sulfates, ammonia, and organics. Data
obtained is contained in this report.

cal classificatory methods are employed to
ascertain the trophic character of 100 lakes in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New
York. Principal components analysis is used to
derive a multivariate trophic state index (PCI)
using the trophic indicators chlorophyll a, con-
ductivity, inverse of Secchi depth, total
phosphorus, an algal assay yield, and total or-
ganic nitrogen. A binary masking technique is
used to extract lake-related MSS data from
digital tapes (CCTs). MSS color ratio models
are developed which give good estimates of
Secchi depth and fair estimates of chlorophyll a
levels. Trophic state, as defined by lake position
on the first principal component axis (PCI), is
predicted using MSS color ratio regression
models.

Growth Effects of Major Land Use Projects is a
research program whose goal is to formulate a
methodology to predict air pollutant emissions
resulting from the construction and operation
of two types of major land use projects, large
residential projects and large concentrations of
employment (i.e., office parks and industrial
parks). Emissions are quantified from the major
project, from land use induced by the major
project, from secondary activity occurring off-
site (i.e., generation of electricity by utilities),
and from motor vehicle traffic associated with
both the major project and its induced land
uses. This report documents the development
of a set of land use based emission factors (i.e.,
emissions per unit of building floor area or per
dwelling unit) that are used to estimate emis-
sions from the induced land uses and seconda-
ry activities. To accomplish this, energy con-
sumption in several categories of buildings is
quantified. The emission sources may be prin-
cipally categorized as follows: Stationary
source emissions occurring on the site of the
major project (e.g., the on-site combustion of
fuel oil for space heating needs); stationary
source emissions occurring at the land use in-
duced by the major project (e.g., the on-site
combustion of fuel oil for space heating needs);
and secondary (i.e:, occurring off-site) stationa-
ry source emissions (e.g., the combustion of
fuel oil at the local electric utility to serve the

A preliminary investigation of selected crop
plants for cadmium uptake from various
sources of commercially available fertilizer was
conducted under controlled greenhouse condi-
tions in Corvallis. Oregon. Results indicated
statistically significant differences in cadmium
content of plant tissue as functions of fertilizer
source, mode of application, tissues analyzed,
and soil type. The highest level of cadmium ac-
cumulation (6 micrograms/g dry weight) was
found in lettuce grown on a course textured
acid soil and fertilized at the rate of 100 micro-
grams P/g soil with concentrated super
phosphate (CSP) containing 174 micrograms
Cd/g fertilizer. It was concluded that these up-
takes may be of sufficient magnitude to be of
biological significance to consumer organisms.
Further study was recommended.

The report presents the results of a study con-

mirex, methoxychlor. and 2,4-D in the
seaweeds Ulva sp., Enteromorpha • sp., and
Rhodymenia sp. None of the pesticides, at con-
centrations corresponding to their maximum
solubility in seawater, had any significant effect
on photosynthesis, protein, carbohydrate, lipid,
chlorophyll, carotenoid or trace metal content
of the algae. All three algae removed substan-
tial amounts of mirex and methoxychlor from
the medium, but uptake of 2,4-D was extremely
low. The rate of uptake of methoxychlor was
considerably greater than that of mirex. En-
teromorpha accumulated considerably more
mirex and methoxychlor than Ulva or
Rhodymenia. Both Ulva and Enteromorpha
failed to metabolize either mirex or 2,4-D. En-
teromorpha metabolized methoxychlor to a
limited extent. After 7 days of incubation with
carbon-labelled methoxychlor, a major portion
of the label in the tissue and medium was
present in unchanged methoxychlor. A small
amount of radioactive metabolite, 2,2-bis (p-
methoxyphenyl)-1. 1-dichloroethylene, was de-
tected in both the tissue and medium.

The purpose of this project is to test and
demonstrate a coherent optical diffraction
technique for measuring the size distribution of
large particles. This technique is based on the
generation of a transformation matrix which is
used to relate the measured diffraction patterns
to the size distribution of the samples that
produced the patterns. Four types of samples
are considered: (1) pinhotes in opaque discs,
(2) photographic transparencies with opaque
circular spots, (3) particles deposited on
microscope slides, and (4) aerosols. Computer
simulations are performed to assess the accu-
racy and resolution of the techniques. Although
good results are obtained for pinhples in
opaque discs, experimental difficulties limit the
precision of this technique applied to particles
in a transparent medium. Improvements based
on a reduction of system noise and an increase
in detector sensitivity are discussed and ap-
plied to the requirements on number density
and size range of particles in a transparent
medium.

possible to judge the status of the air in con-
gested areas with the scientific instrumentari-
um available and that it was possible to draw
principles for the planning of air quality from
these results. This study differed from the previ-
ous two in that under regional planning need
had grown to receive more information on the
influence of settlement activities upon cli-
matological and air quality conditions in con-
gested areas. The aim was to get an instrument
for decision for regional planning. The study,
like the other two, looks at emission inventories
and networks.

to mass data using equations developed from
key-mode and mass emissions testing of vehi-

and second, to identify those specific
procedures that could prove cost effective in
reducing vehicular emissions for the Denver

An analysis of water quality data from twenty-
one water quality surveillance stations located
in the South Platte River Basin of Colorado was
conducted. The data collected from 1968
through 1972 indicate significant deterioration
of surface water quality in the Denver
Metropolitan Area. Total and Fecal Coliform
concentrations have increased by two to three
orders of magnitude in recent years along with
increased BODS concentrations, and Dissolved
Oxygen concentrations have sometimes
dropped below acceptable limits (less than 5
mg/l). The analysis indicates a need to improve
water quality with respect to these parameters
in order to achieve proposed water quality ob-
jectives. A monitoring system is proposed to
improve data reliability and provide information
on previously undefined variables.

In recent years aerobic digestion of sludge has
become an increasingly popular method of sta-
bilizing sludges prior to ultimate disposal. Many
of the design requirements, however, have
been based on laboratory studies and many of
the parameters that affect operation and per-
formance of aerobic digesters have not been
studied in detail. As a result, specific design
requirements that would insure consistently
good performance from all aerobic digesters
have not been developed. Formerly, the Techni-
cal Investigation Branch of the Surveillance and
Analysis Division, and presently, the Operation
and Maintenance Section of the Air and Water
Division, provides as one of its functions
technical assistance concerning the operation
and maintenance of wastewater treatment
facilities. This assistance normally is in the form
of on-site operator training and plant evalua-
tion. Another specific objective of this program
is to provide 'feedback* concerning various
design and training deficiencies .based on ac-
tual operational experiences and observations.
The following data on aerobic digesters
represents the result of such experience plus a
summarization of other pertinent design data.

with basic coke, iron and steel production
processes and a full range of finishing opera-
tions. It is the only integrated mill in California.
The basic coke, iron and steel processes result
in the emission to the atmosphere of excessive
levels of paniculate air pollutants, despite the
installation of various air pollution control
devices. On 11 July 1974, the Corporation en-
tered into a Consent Order with EPA-Region IX
to control these emissions. The Order specified
various steps to be taken by the Corporation,
including process modifications and installa-
tion of air pollution control devices. The objec-
tives of the study were to determine the status
of compliance with the Consent Order and to
observe sources of visible emissions to deter-
mine compliance with applicable County regu-
lations.

The United States Steel Corporation (USSC)
Edgar Thomson (ET) Plant is a basic steel
production facility producing steel ingots
which in turn are rolled into slabs. Trie majority
of these slabs are conveyed by rail to the Irvin
Plant where they are converted into various
finished steel and tin products. The ET Plant
consists of a sintering plant, five blast furnaces
(BF), two basic oxygen furnaces, a 44-inch slab
mill and an ingot mold foundry. Two intake sta-
tions on the Monongahela River supply the
facility with up to 795,000 cu m/day (210 mgd)
of water with only a small portion of this water
being treated. The plant discharges wastewater
from five outfalls (001, 002. 003, 004 and 010)
which, with the exception of 001. discharge into
the Monongahela River. Outfall 001 discharges
to Turtle Creek, a tributary of the Monongahela
River. In-plant monitoring was conducted dur-
ing the period July 22 to August 5. 1975. This re-
port discusses the findings of the survey and
compares the loads discharged during the
above period with the waste load limitations
proposed by the USSC in their amended adju-
dicator/ hearing request of March 3,1975.

frared data were recorded during the day and
thermal infrared data were recorded at night
using sensors mounted in high performance
reconnaissance aircraft. No ground truth was
collected. All observed discharges were com-
pared to known municipal and industrial waste-
water discharges to identify locations of poten-
tial sources that had not filed for waste
discharge permits. In addition, the relative mag-
nitude, color, dispersion behavior and, in some
cases, relative levels of concentrations of the

Results of 14 experiments on the air-forage-
cow-milk transfer of iodine-131 are sum-
marized and used to develop prediction models
for dose to the thyroids of infants. The models
are based on data from various types of nuclear
tests together with data from controlled experi-
ments using contaminating aerosols. This pro-
vides a realistic foundation for the predictions
and for adjusting the predictions to correct for
some types of forage. Equations developed
from these studies can be used to predict within
a factor of 2 the infinite dose to a 2-gram thy-
roid from a single contaminating event where
cows continue to ingest contaminated forage
and the subject drinks 0.7 liters of milk per day.
This dose, in rads, is equal to 0.37 times the
peak exposure rate measured 1 meter above
ground, or 0.07 times the integrated air concen-
tration. For wet deposition, it is suggested that
the predicted doses be increased by a factor of
10. An equation for pre-test prediction is also
developed. Short-lived radioiodines and inhala-
tion during effluent passage have a definite ef-
fect on the predicted doses.

The purpose of this report is to provide
background information on the handling and
disposal of sludges and liquid Sidestreams
produced in municipal wastewater treatment
works. The intent of this report is to provide
design engineers the information needed to ar-
rive at environmentally sound and cost-effec-
tive methods of sludge handling and disposal.
The term 'sludge', for the purpose of this study,
includes all solid and semisolid wastes and
suspensions of solids resulting from the opera-
tion of wastewater treatment facilities. The
sludges produced can be entirely organic in na-
ture, inorganic, or a combination of both, de-
pending on the treatment processes employed
in removing the .suspended, colloidal, and dis-
solved pollutants from the wastewater. The
handling, treatment, and eventual disposal of
the various sludges and process liquid
Sidestreams can create some difficult technical
problems involving appreciable costs. It is
noted that sludges and Sidestreams are an in-
tegral part of the entire wastewater treatment
operation. It is not possible to optimize the
design of wastewater treatment works to en-
sure the required effluent quality, for the least
capital investment and operating cost, without
considering the sludge and sidestream han-
dling and disposal methods as integral with the
other processes. Portions of this document are

This study has assessed the effectiveness of
current Evaporative Control Systems (ECS) and
has shown the feasibility of various hardware
approaches which control evaporative emis-
sions to a very low level. The performance of
ECS's in current use was evaluated by using the
Sealed Housing for Evaporative Determinations
(SHED) procedure on twenty 1973-75 cars with
representative control systems. The measured
emissions ranged from 0.5 to 30.6 grams per
test, and the twenty car average was 8.7 grams
per test. Hardware was then developed to im-
prove ECS performance. Six production vehi-
cles were modified to demonstrate the feasibili-
ty of improving current systems. These modifi-
cations were successful in lowering the
evaporative emissions to less than 2.0 grams
per test for each of the six modified vehicles.
This six car group consisted of vehicles manu-
factured by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler,
American Motors,. Volvo and Mazda; and the
costs of required hardware has been estimated
at $2, $2, $6, $2, $2, and $25, respectively.

Calculations are presented of the actinic
(spherically integrated) solar flux from 290 to
700 nm at solar zenith angles between 0 and 86
degrees. The calculated values are obtained by
using a radiative transfer program (developed
by Dave) that accounts for molecular scatter-
ing, ozone absorption, and aerosol scattering
and absorption. Input data consists of aerosol
size distribution, aerosol number and ozone
concentrations as a function of height, aerosol
index of refraction, and the following as a func-
tion of wavelength: ozone absorption coeffi-
cient, molecular scattering coefficient, solar
constant, and surface reflectivity. The calcu-
lated actinic flux values are evaluated for their
dependence on variations of surface reflectivi-
ty, aerosol amount, ozone amount and station
elevation. The variation of the actinic flux with
altitude above the surface is discussed with
emphasis on the change through the lowest
kilometer of the atmosphere. Finally, the flux
values presented here are compared to those of
Leighton (1961); the differences in the
methodology and input data between the two
studies are illustrated. These calculated actinic
flux data are useful for estimating photodis-
sociation rate constants for application to
photochemical air pollution problems.

The report gives results of the initial phase of
the development of a low-emissions ethylene
oxyhydrochlorination process for producing
1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride). First,
experimental work on an existing pilot-plant-
scale, once-through process was used both to
obtain baseline emission data in mass of
hydrocarbon (HC) plus ethylene dichloride
(EDC) per mass of HCI fed as a function of reac-
tor temperature and percent excess ethylene to
the reactor, and to resolve potential problems
which may arise in a recycle operation. Second,
the existing once-through pilot plant was con-
verted to a recycle operation which then func-
tioned successfully and yielded emission data
in mass of HC plus EDC per mass of HCI fed as a
function of reactor temperature and percent ex-
cess ethylene to the reactor. In particular, the
project objective of reducing by 90% the HC
plus EDC emissions from an ethylene ox-
yhydrochlorination process, through the
recycling of reactor off-gases, was positively
demonstrated. Third, various operating difficul-

and complete growth inhibition after 5 minptes
exposure to 0.3 ppm. Microzooplankton adults
were somewhat less sensitive in that a 5 minute

rapping and the quantification of rapping reen-
trainment in terms of the percentage and the
particle size distribution of the reentrained
dust. During the study, the contribution of
rapping reentrainment to total emissions
ranged from 53 to 18%, depending on rapping
conditions. These percentages corresponded
to 5.4 and 2.7% of the dust collected on the
plates being emitted from the precipitator dur-
ing plate rapping. A major portion of the reen-
trained material was observed to result from
hopper 'boil-up'. A decrease in rapping emis-
sions was obtained by increasing the time inter-
val between raps. The mass median diameters
of the size distributions of the particles emitted
during the raps were observed to increase with
increased time between raps.

The report reviews information on the charac-
teristics of solid and liquid fuels. Specifically, it
deals with the chemical and physical charac-
teristics of components of the fuel which are
sources of sulfur, nitrogen, and trace element
pollutants when that fuel is utilized. The review
suggests that at least part of the sulfur and
most of the nitrogen originate from compounds
common to the fuels reviewed (coal, petroleum,
tar sand oil, and shale oil). These are primarily
organic sulfur and organic nitrogen com-
pounds. For liquid fuels, it was concluded that
intrinsic centers of sulfur and nitrogen con-
tamination are found in the colloidal suspen-
sions commonly known as asphaftenes and the
more soluble resins. Trace elements are
present as oil-soluble compounds in petrole-
um, tar sand oil, and shale oil. In coal, it was
concluded that the nitrogen contaminants are
present as organic compounds and that the sul-
fur is present both as organic and inorganic
compounds. Trace elements in coal were
categorized into those found principally with
the organic matter of coal and those found
present principally in the mineral matter as-
sociated with coal.

The report discusses a research program
whose goal is to formulate a methodology to
predict air pollutant emissions resulting from
the construction and operation of two types of
major land use projects, large residential pro-
jects and large concentrations of employment.
Emissions are quantified from the major pro-
ject, from land use induced by the major pro-
ject, from secondary activity occurring off-site
(i.e., generation of electricity by utilities), and
from motor vehicle traffic associated with both
the major project and its induced land uses.
This volume provides a summary of the first two
volumes, viz. the specification and causal anal-
ysis of the land use model and the development
of the land use based emission factors. It also
discusses the development of the predictive
equations in the land use model and the
development of the traffic model.

A literature survey was undertaken, comparing
stratified charge engines with examples of

While some stratified charge engines had ex-

there were always sacrifices in other areas.
Eleven engines were configured, four of which

Sites representing six categories of potential
sources of EDB emission were sampled. The
categories are: (1) gasoline mixing, storage,
and transfer (refineries); .(2) retail gasoline; (3)
highly trafficked urban; (4) suburban residential
(lightly trafficked): (5) rural; .and (6) fumigation
centers. Air samples collected near four dif-
ferent bulk loading stations had EDB levels at
least twice that of background samples. The ef-
fect of heavily trafficked freeways on the EDB
levels in two different cities was not discernible.
However, EDB was detected in all samples
taken in heavily trafficked urban areas. The
ubiquitous nature of EDB is probably the result
of the widely dispersed sources of emission in
urban/industrial areas. The levels of EDB in air
ranged from 0.05 to 0.10 microgram/cum in
rural and suburban areas, and from 0.1 to 0.4
microgram/cum in metropolitan areas. Two fu-
migation centers where EDB was used to fu-
migate grapefruit were found to be significant
sources of emission.

The report gives results of a study simulating
the establishment of the severity of stationary
air pollution sources. The potential environ-
mental impact of an emission source can be
determined from the source severity (the
ground level concentration contribution of pol-
lutants relative to some potentially hazardous
concentration of the same species). The
frequency distribution of the severity of well-
documented source types can be examined
deterministically. A statistical approach is
required to simulate the frequency distribution
of the severity of source types that are complex
or involve a large number of emission points in
order to ultimately assess such sources. A
Monte Carlo simulation technique is described
in this report, together with efficient algorithms
for fitting the inverse Weibull. gamma, normal,
and log-normal cumulative density functions.
Significant correlation is demonstrated
between deterministic and simulated severity
results using coal-fired steam/electric utilities
as an example.

particle growth occurs prior to the CHEAF
system. Simultaneous heated and unheated im-
pactor runs provided dried particle size dis-
tribution and actual (or wet) size distribution
existing inside the scrubber, respectively. Parti-
cle growth was then determined, showing that
particles grew as much as three times their
original size in the submicron range, and less
for larger sizes. This particle growth to a more
uniform size can explain why penetration is
relatively independent of inlet dry particle size.

The soap and detergent industry is charac-
terized by a highly concentrated oligopolistic
market in which, according to 1970 census
data, the first four companies accounted for
70% of the value of shipments and the first eight
companies accounted for 79%. Price competi-
tion is limited except in the liquid detergent
field. In the marketing of household products
advertising plays an important role in product
differentiation. On the basis of size, the industry
was segmented into the first four, the first eight,
'rest of the industry' basis. Segment I company
sales ranged from $400,000,000 to over one bil-
lion dollars. Aggregate plant data indicates that
the efficiency of the three groups corresponds
generally to their ordering. Simulation models
of representative single plant producers in the
industry indicate that on a point source basis
the cost to the industry of the recommended
control guidelines and standards is apprecia-
ble, impacting smaller producers relatively
more heavily than larger producers. This point
source approach is an indirect approach in as-
sessing control costs. Since most of the indus-
try interconnects with public waste treatment
facilities, the greatest potential cost impact of
effluent control will come from rising public
waste treatment charges. No adverse communi-
ty, employment, or balance of payment effects
are anticipated. Bibliography.

The report gives results of the computation of
fine particle collection efficiency as a function
of particle size, based on data from an electro-
static scrubber. The scrubber was operated at
21.0 and 22.7 actual cu m/min at 16C with a
pressure drop of approximately 40 cm W.C.
Titanium dioxide was generated as the test
aerosol having an approximate mass mean
diameter (aerodynamic) of 1.0 micrometer with
a geometric standard of 2.2. The scrubber was
tested with the particle ionizer on and off: col-
lection efficiency generally improved with the
ionizer on. Additional testing was performed to
determine if static charges were affecting the
sampling measurements. Particle size and col-
lection efficiency changed when charge
neutralizing devices were used. The inlet test
aerosol charge apparently affects the measured
penetration.

The report is on water quality standards. Mixing
zones are areas which are unavoidably and
harmfully polluted and which are allowed for
mixing of the discharged waters with the
receiving waters. They have defined and
identifiable limits, and the waters outside of the
zones must meet the standards for that particu-
lar body of water. The Water Quality Criteria re-
port recommends when several mixing zones
are located close together that they lie on the
same side of the stream to allow a continuous
passageway for aquatic organisms on the op-
posite side.

The report is a compilation of all nitrate criteria
limitations within state-adopted water quality
standards. Nitrate'standards are set to control
the amount of nitrates discharges into the
water. Nitrates and phosphates in wastes con-
tribute to excess amounts of nutrients in our
water. Artificially nutrient-enriched waters are
over fertilized, altering aquatic systems. Quite
often algae blooms occur in lakes and slow-
moving streams. Certain algae can make public
water supplies and fish flesh unpalatable.
Aquatic growths stimulated by nutrients can
trap silt and organic matter, providing ideal
breeding spots for bacteria, and can choke up
streams. Such growths can reduce the oxygen
concentrations in the water, killing fish and
greatly reducing the stream's ability to purify it-
self. Organic enrichment is a primary factor in
overaging or eutrophication, the process caus-
ing the 'death' of Lake Erie.

Chemical compounds foreign to mammalian
liver stimulate the hepatic microsomal system
to increased, but nonspecific, enzymatic activi-
ty. The stimulatory effect on liver enzymes
being non-specific, increased hepatic activity
results also in an accelerated metabolism of
normal body constituents and a more rapid rate
of utilization of administered drugs. One sub-
stance, nitrilotriacetic acid, an effective chelat-
ing agent used as a partial substitute for
phosphate in detergents, has not been
thoroughly tested for metabolic effects on
mammalian microsomal systems. Should un-
degraded NTA be discharged into the environ-
ment in sizable amounts and concentrate in
potable water supplies, cumulative exposures
of man to the chemical could-result in chronic
illness or debilitating physiological states. In an
attempt to evaluate the metabolic effects of this
foreign substance on mammalian systems, the
authors have studied several enzymes in the
liver and intestine of mice subjected to chronic
oral administration of the sodium salt of
nitrilotriacetic acid in drinking water at a con-
centration ten times the expected environmen-
tal level.

The author describes a pyrolysis project in New
York State. A pyrolysis system was designed to
process 75 TPD that can convert municipal
solid waste into a clean, inert residue without
causing air or water pollution. In order to test
this, it is necessary to obtain economic, techni-
cal, and operational data to evaluate the system
and provide a basis for assessing the potential
of larger-scale operations. The project was set
up in three phases: The primary objective of
Phase I was to design, install, and operate those
major subsystem components of the entire
system necessary to demonstrate that the basic
concept is a viable one and that an inert residue
can be produced by converting the noncom-
bustible portions of the refuse into a molten
slag. Phase II involves the installation of the
remaining equipment for the exhaust gas pollu-
tion control subsystems, startup and integra-
tion of the entire equipment system, and Phase
II testing. The project is currently at this point.
Phase III will involve gathering economic and
technical data during sustained 24-hour opera-
tions.

The oxygen analysis of solid wastes is one of
the important ultimate analysis necessary to
determine: the efficiency of operation of an in-
cinerator, the design of furnaces for incinera-
tion, and a complete materials balance of in-
coming and outgoing material. The oxygen
content of solid wastes samples must be known
if their calorific values are to be calculated from
ultimate analyses. The two new formulas for
calculating total oxygen content in solid wastes
samples correlate data from as many as eight
different analyses. These eight components
are: total carbon, carbonate carbon in total
sample, carbonate carbon in ash from volatile

herein, deals with the procedures for the eight
related components. The new formulas for ox-
ygen concentrations still have the errors in-
herent in the other analyses, particularly the
volatile analysis; however, they do take into ac-
count carbonate oxygen which could cause the
greatest inaccuracy in total oxygen data for
solid wastes samples. The recommended
procedure for determining carbonate oxygen
and organically-bonded oxygen is: first deter-
mine carbonate carbon, multiply this answer by
four for carbonate oxygen, and then obtain the
organically-bonded oxygen content by sub-
tracting the carbonate oxygen value from the
total oxygen concentration.

An existing ASTM method for determining total
oxygen in coal, indirectly from an ash analysis,
was found not completely applicable for solid
wastes samples, especially if the normal
procedure of ashing solid wastes samples at
600 C is involved. With modifications of the for-
mula in the ASTM method, total oxygen can be
reasonably estimated in solid wastes samples.
However, before a formula can be applied, the
concentrations of total carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine must be deter-
mined. Likewise, the analyst must have
knowledge of the ash value for the sample and
the procedure by which it was ascertained. Two
modifications of the ASTM formula were
required for solid wastes samples. The method
used to determine the ash value dictates the ap-
propriate formula because partial decomposi-

obtained with these formulas are affected by
the errors incurred in the data obtained by the
various analyses. However, this indirect ap-
proach is satisfactory and practical with solid
waste samples.

The determination of selenium in solid waste
and the effluents of solid waste treatment
systems is of considerable interest because of
the toxicity of selenium and its reported
presence in almost all conceivable types of
paper. A 2.3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN)
analytical procedure is preceded by isolation of
selenium with toluene 3.4-dithiol and includes
the use of EDTA, sodium fluoride and sodium
oxalate masking agents. The reactions in the
procedure are thought to involve the formation
of a piazselenol. The piazselenol emits at 5700
A when excited at 3170 A. The use of the DAN
fluorometric procedure affords the sensitivity
necessary for trace analysis while retaining a
precision of measurement comparable to com-
petitive methods. The isolation step and mask-
ing agents are used to prevent background
fluorescence and foreign ion effect.

The heats evolved in the complete combustion
of many compounds in oxygen have been care-
fully determined. The method ordinarily used is
to burn the substance, in a combustion bomb
and to measure the heat evolved. The heat of
combustion described in this method is ex-
pressed in calories per gram of sample or
British Thermal Units (Btu) per pound of sam-
ple. In the incineration process, the operating
efficiency of an incinerator can be measured by
energy balance techniques, and analyzing heat
contents of the solid wastes before arid after in-
cineration is essential. Also the heat value is an
important characteristic of solid waste needed
for incinerator design. To determine directly the
heat change involved in a reaction calorimeters
are employed. This method describes the capa-
bilities and limitations of a Parr Adiabatic
Calorimeter, and furnishes the instructions

management techniques which will be evalu-
ated include those for storage, handling, trans-
port, neutralization, detoxification, reuse, and
disposal. Other aspects of the program include
description of possible new techniques for
management of hazardous wastes, proof-of-
principal experimentation to determine the ef-
fectiveness of techniques for which insufficient
data is available for adequate evaluation, and
planning of research programs necessary for
developing new procedures and processes for
treating hazardous wastes for which adequate
techniques do not currently exist. The seventh
monthly technical report summarizes the work
performed by TRW for EPA from July 1,1972 to
July 31. 1972. The specific areas addressed
were: (1) treatment process reports: (2) profile
reports: and (3) determination of the forms and

berger and Wiley and Spillane, have attained
more complete oxidations by utilizing open-

procedure proposed by the American Public
Works Association has been used extensively
by the Research Services Laboratory Staff for
the characterization of refuse, residue, and fly

each sample, the percent ash and the percent
weight loss on heating at 600 C are calculated.
A detailed description of the procedure is

Vacuum-Acid Hydrolysis of Fungal Protein

Descriptors: 'Proteins, "Hydrolysis, Amino
acids. Experimental design. Vacuum.
All proteins yield amino acids when hydrolyzed,
since a protein molecule may contain hundreds
or thousands of amino acid groups. The amino
acids are united through an acid amide type of
bond called a peptide linkage. Just as is the
case with acid amides, the peptide linkages in
proteins are resistant to hydrolysis and require
prolonged boiling with relatively strong acids or
alkalies for complete liberation of each amino
acid. The developed technology for producing
fungal protein in the Bureau of Solid Waste
Management's Research and Development
Laboratories is the result of research efforts
directed toward recycling both starchy and cel-
lulosic wastes. The quality of the protein
produced by fermentation depends upon the
amino acid profile which was determined by a
quantitative amino acid analysis with an Auto-
matic Amino Acid Analyzer. However, prior to
an analysis, hydrolysis of the protein must take
place to produce individual amino acids. The
subject procedure uses acid hydrolysis under
vacuum conditions. The use of a vacuum
eliminates the oxidizing atmosphere which
would result in oxidation or loss of the amino
acids. This hydrolysis procedure can be applied
to any protein bearing material, plant or animal.

The reclamation of useful products from solid
waste is one method of reducing the disposal
problem of solid wastes. There are many
research projects concerned with recycling
solid wastes into fertilizers and food products.
This report describes and evaluates one
method for measuring phosphorus in the form
of phosphates that are present in solid wastes.
The Vanadomolybdophosphoric acid method
was selected to be investigated as a method for
solid waste analyses because of its high range,
simplicity, and freedom from interferences. The
chemistry which makes this method useful for
determining phosphates is believed to involve
the substitution of oxyvanadium and oxymolyb-
denum radicals for the O of PO4 to give a
heteropoly compound that is chromogenic. The
intensity of yellow color produced is propor-
tional to the concentration of phosphates
present;. thus the phosphates can be deter-
mined colormetrically by measuring the intensi-
ty of the yellow color produced when PO4
comes in contact with vanadate and molybdate
in an acid solution.

The heat contents of various solid wastes
materials (usually expressed as: British Ther-
mal Units per pound or Btu/no. of sample) are
important to establish an energy balance about
an incinerator and thereby determine the effi-
ciency of that incinerator. Also this heat value.
especially of raw refuse, is considered when
planning the design of an incinerator. The heat
contents of incinerator residue and compost
used for landfill are essential data for determin-
ing the stability of these waste products. The
experimental method, of determining heat con-
tents of prepared solid waste samples is some-
times difficult to perform and the accuracy of
the data is, at times, questionable. The heat
contents of such samples may be determined
mathematically by a modified Dulong formula
with data from ultimate analysis. This mathe-
matical approach can either eliminate the need
for experimental test or verify the accuracy of
such test. Total heat of combustion content of a
solid waste sample is defined as the oxidation
of organic carbon to carbon dioxide, hydrogen
to water, nitrogen to nitrogen dioxide, sulfur to
sulfur dioxide, and the decomposition of car-
bonates present in the sample.

For the slope stability study conducted during
the second year of the project, an experimental
papermill sludge landfill was altered by removal
of the north dike. Next the landfill was ex-
cavated to form a 3:4 slope and two weeks later
was trimmed to a 1:8 slope. It was shown that
soil mechanics theory can be used to predict
the stability, of slopes excavated in a sludge
landfill. Development of failure zones for the 1:8
slope was studied using the finite element
method of analysis and laboratory triaxial test
data. Stability analysis of the 1:8 slope, using
Janbu's method for a composite failure surface,
gave excellent agreement between the actual
factor of safety and the computed factor of
safety. Additional information on physical pro-
perties of the sludge shows the dependence of
liquid and plastic limits on the organic content
of the sludge. The low permeability of the high
ash papermill sludge together with a decreas-
ing rate of leachate flow associated with fill
consolidation exerted a moderating effect on
the quantity of leachate leaving the landfill.

prior to submission to the laboratory. The three
basic operations to be applied to prepare them
for detailed analysis are drying, grinding or pul-

operations must be so thoroughly
homogenized that portions weighing as little as
100-200 mg may be extracted for analysis with
full confidence in thejr being uniform and

Several significant new observations have been
made relative to chemical reactions that occur
in sunlight-irradiated
NOx/hydrocarbon/aldehyde/CO/SO2 polluted
atmospheres. Many of the primary reactions
that are needed to quantitatively evaluate the
photo-oxidation mechanisms of S02 in the at-
mosphere were measured. Rate constants for
the reactions of the excited SO2(triplet B1)
state of SO2 with various atmospheric gases,
alkanes, alkenes, NO, CO, etc,, were deter-
mined. In view of these results, the rate of SO2
photooxidation in the atmosphere is estimated,
and the possible role of excited- SO2/alkene in-
teractions that generate aerosols is evaluated.
Rate constants for the homogeneous reaction
of SO2 with O3, NO3. and N2O5 were also esti-
mated. All of these reactions are relatively slow
for conditions that usually exist in polluted at-
mospheres. The unusual reaction of SOS with
NO2 was observed, although its importance in
the atmosphere cannot be evaluated accurately
from the existing data. An evaluation was made
of the photochemical smog mechanisms using
a computer to simulate the rates of change in
various polluted atmospheres. Several impor-
tant features of special interest in developing
control strategies were observed.

An experimental program has been conducted
to measure and compare the efficiency of two
stack sampling systems to collect vanadium-
bearing paniculate emissions in flue gas. One
sampling system was EPA's Method 5, the other
was developed by Exxon Research and En-
gineering Company for specialized in-house
studies. To evaluate collection efficiency, an
extensive factorial study was carried out in a 50
hp four-pass firetube boiler burning typical
residual fuel oils. In each test the sampling
systems were operated simultaneously in the
stack to collect the vanadium-bearing particu-
late emissions. Three residual fuel oils were
tested: two Venezuelan (359 and 149 ppm V)
and one Arabian (39 ppm V). A vanadium
balance was established for each experiment
by inventorying both the particulate emissions
and the participates remaining in the boiler.
Test variables, in addition to the sampling
systems and fuel oils, also included two com-
bustion residence times and two sampling
probe locations. The results of the study show
that vanadium collection efficiency depends on
two variables: combustion residence time and
sampling system. For both systems efficiency
decreases as combustionresidence time in-
creases, which results in a particulate size dis-
tribution shift to the submicron range. Where
particulate emissions are in the coarse size
range, collection efficiency in both sampling
systems is almost quantitative. The oxidation
states of vanadium in fuel oil emissions are
briefly discussed.

The basic purpose of this project was to
develop a conceptual framework for estimating
the social welfare gains or benefits of reducing
current noise levels in urban environments. The
project has concentrated on developing
economic welfare theory and empirical
techniques to assess willingness-to-pay by in-
dividuals for noise avoidance. Particular atten-
tion was paid to noise produced by motor vehi-
cles and noise produced by operations at con-
struction sites. The theoretical effect of the lo-
calized nature of noise on people's willingness-
to-pay to control noise was investigated. An ef-
ficient pricing scheme for aggregate noise
disturbance was devised, based on people's
wlllingness-to-pay for noise reduction. A
questionnaire was developed to elicit respon-
ses on the physical and psychic costs of noise
in urban areas. The attempts to assign dollar
values to the costs of noise pollution by deter-
mining people's willingness-to-pay to control

from 100% to 127% of air saturation to deter-
mine the lethal and sublethal effects on juvenile
fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) and steelhead trout (Salmo gaird-
neri). Fall chinook salmon were much more re-
sistant to super-saturation than juvenile steel-
head trout. Salmon tested in the shallow tanks
at 120% of saturation incurred 50% mortality in
22 days whereas trout tested at the same level
incurred 50% mortality in 30 hours. Signs of bas
bubble disease were noted on dead fish and on
subsamples of live fish from deep water tests at
110% saturation and in shallow water tests at
105% or above. Vertical distribution of both sal-
mon and trout in the deep tanks appeared to
compensate for about 10% and 10-15% respec-
tively of effective saturation.

gion. With accurate research to provide facts,
wise management decisions can be made
which will preserve our heritage and enhance
the Region for future generations. The purpose
of the research was the following: Identify and
evaluate current and potential problems as-
sociated with the growing interaction of people
and natural environments in the Region, and
determine and establish priorities for the
research required to provide the necessary
basis for environmentally sound resource
managements on public and private lands. Task

forces were formed to address several subject
areas: Biological resources, human needs and
responses, institutional arrangements, mineral
and energy resources, recreation and tourism,
rural residential development, timber and
forage uses, and water resources and uses.
Task force leaders were asked to select an in-
terdisciplinary and broad-based committee to
determine the state-of-knowledge in each field,
the gaps in knowledge, and thus the major
needs to be researched. Each leader prepared a
documented report of the findings. A draft of
each task force report was sent for review and
the review comments were incorporated where
pertinent into the final reports presented here.

Several authors have reported that the harmful
effects of ammonia are primarily related to the
pH and temperature of the water because only
the un-ionized ammonia is toxic. The un-
ionized fraction increases with rising pH values
and with rising temperature. Other factors such
as dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, free carbon
dioxide, sodium ions, total dissolved solids,
prior exposure to ammonia, physical stress.

of other additive toxins or other mitigating

of ammonia vary from 0.16 mg/l to 16.5 mg/l

The Arkansas River originates near the Con-
tinental Divide in Central Colorado and then
flows eastward through the city of Pueblo and
on across the plains. As the river passes
through the city of Pueblo it is diverted for vari-
ous industrial and irrigation uses and, in return,
it receives discharges from several sources.
Two of the major sources of waste discharges
are the Northside and Southside Water Treat-
ment Plants. Each of these plants has large set-
tling ponds used to contain the sludges
produced during the chemical treatment of
river water for potable use. Once each year dur-
ing a two to three week period these plants
dispose of the accumulated solids by flushing
them directly into the Arkansas River. In order
to assess the impact of these two water treat-
ment plant discharges on the Arkansas River,
the Technical Support Branch of the Regional
EPA office conducted a study on October 10-
12, 1972, during the period of pond discharge.
The basic objective was to determine whether
the solids in the discharges were of sufficient
magnitude to cause benthic organism and
water quality degradation in violation, of the
Colorado Water Quality Standards. The study
included chemical and biological sampling
conducted at four river stations in a three mile
stream reach in the area of the water treatment
plants. The two pond discharges were also
sampled for chemical analysis.

ject of several State and Federal studies. During
the latter part of July. 1957, an intensive in-plant
study was conducted to characterize the mill
process and liquid effluents. Water quality stu-
dies conducted during September, 19P5. and
July, 1971, showed that process and waste
liquors were being lost by seepage from mill
ponds and entering surface waters - Cotton-
wood Creek and the Cheyenne River. Soil and
bottom sediment samples collected during the
1971 study confirmed the loss of unstabilized
sand tailings to the water environment by wind
and water erosion.

The aerated lagoon method of wastewater
treatment is primarily a product of the 1960's.
The effect of climatic conditions is especially
significant in the colder Northern regions
where ice problems, which appeared in the first
installation treating domestic wastewaters,
become serious and have threatened the very
idea of aerated lagoons as a practical method
of biological treatment in these climates. The
first aerated lagoon in Alaska, constructed in
1967 was located at the Eielson Air Force Base
near Fairbanks. By 1970, there were at least 17
aerated lagoons in Alaska. All except one of
these units were using perforated tubing dif-
fused aeration for oxygenation and mixing. This
aeration method was largely accepted to
prevent reoccurrence of the bad icing ex-
periences reported with mechanical surface
aeration at other Northern installations. With
regard to differences among biological treat-
ment processes operating in cold climates the
most important factor from a biological point of
view is the effect of temperature upon the rate
of biological reactions.

A preliminary design for a single family
household refuse grinder was developed dur-
ing this program as part of an overall study to
evaluate the technical feasibility of transporting
ground household refuse through existing
sewers. In the system under consideration, the
grinder reduces most of the components of
household refuse into a slurry formed with the
non-fecal component of household water and
transports it through the house sewer lateral to
the sewer where it is mixed with the rest of the
water. The system requires a modification in
household plumbing and a storage tank to
separate and store the non-fecal component of
waste water.

Laboratory Procedures to Determine the
Nitrogen Content of Solid Wastes.

'Chemical analysis. Laboratories, Test equip-

Nitrogen becomes a significant solid waste
parameter when it is evaluated in conjunction
with two other parameters, namely carbon and
hydrogen. The change in the C/N ratio of com-
post can be used to determine (1) the degree
and rate of biological decomposition of organic
matter in the compost, and (2) the suitability of
the final product for use in agricultural soils. A

knowledge of the nitrogen, carbon, and
hydrogen contents of an incinerator's load and
combustion products can also enable the en-
gineer and scientist to (1) calculate the theoreti-
cal air requirements and combustion products.
(2) formulate appropriate material and energy
balance equations, and (3) evaluate and control
effectively the 'efficiency of an incinerator
system. To ensure the precise and accurate
determination of the nitrogen content of solid
wastes, investigations of the applicability of ex-
isting analytical procedures were conducted in
this laboratory. Analyses of solid waste sam-
ples, containing up to 8 percent nitrogen, have
demonstrated that the Kjeldahl-Wilfarth-
Gunning-Winkler Method, the Comprehensive
Nitrogen Method, and the Automated Dumas
Method (as employed in the Coleman Nitrogen
Analyzer) may be employed in the characteriza-
tion of solid wastes. Detailed descriptions of
these three methods are presented.

A brief summary of the power requirements of a
hammermill to comminute municipal refuse
with varying moisture contents is made. A rela-
tionship between net power input and moisture
content has been introduced and pursued. The
capability of the hammermill to prepare a
homogeneous representative sample of refuse
for further experimental work is summarized.
Also, a definitive exploration is made as to the
quantity of moisture driven from refuse while
being comminuted.

An advanced generalized urban air quality
model (IBMAQ-2) is developed based on the
theory utilized in an existing model (IBMAQ-1)
as prescribed in Ref. 1. The model, based on
numerical integration of the concentration
equation, computes temporal and three-dimen-
sional spatial concentration distributions
resulting from specified urban point and area
sources by using NEDS (National Emission
Data System) and simulated RAMS (Regional
Air Monitoring System) data. The UTM
(Universal Transverse Metric) coordinates are
used in all geographical, source emission, and
monitoring data. A new method to incorporate
point sources into the grid computtion is
developed by using a Lagrange trajectory
method. Many model options are provided
which enable users to study conveniently the
significant effects which these options have on
the final concentration distributions. The pro-
gram description is included to provide a guide
for users. The program is constructed in a
modular form which allows users to change or
improve each component conveniently. The
input auxiliary model, which processes geo-
graphical, source emission, and monitoring
data, is also included.

The establishment of standards for toxic sub-

substances as well as the regulation options
available under PL 92-500. Accordingly, an

was undertaken to prepare a guidance docu-

legislation and standard setting impacts and
assist in implementing Sec. 307. The results of
this study will be of direct use to the Adminis-

has the major responsibility and help delineate

flow rate, spray rate, and make-up water addi-
tion. The results were consistent with the
hypothesis that impaction is the major collec-
tion mechanism and re-entrainment con-
tributes substantially to penetration. Total mass
efficiency was approximately 95 percent at nor-
mal conditions, for which the pressure drop
across the CHEAF was 80 cm (31.5 inches) WC.
The particle aerodynamic cut diameter, for
which the efficiency would be 50 percent at
these conditions, was determined from cascade
impactor data to be below 0.5 micrometer. This
indicates that the 50 percent cut diameter for
the CHEAF is smaller than for a venturi
scrubber operating at the same pressure drop.

Trichloroethylene is an organic solvent primari-
ly used for the vapor degreasing of metals. Ap-
proximately 200,000 industrial workers are ex-
posed to this solvent annually. Although the
major physiological response in humans from
acute or chronic exposure to trichloroethylene
is central nervous system depression, damage
to liver, kidney and heart have also been re-
ported. Since the metabolic fate and toxic ef-
fects of trichloroethylene are similar in many
mammalian species to those in man, the fact
that this compound has recently been im-
plicated as a potent liver carcinogen in mice
may be of significance. Approximately 60% of
the total world production of trichloroethylene
is released to the environment each year. How-
ever, due to its low water solubility, high vapor
pressure and high atmospheric photodegrada-
tion rate, trichloroethylene is not expected to
persist in the environment. Ambient concentra-
tions in the atmosphere of industrialized areas
are only about 16 ppt. Proper use of local ex-
haust systems in conjunction with vapor con-
densation apparatus and good general ventila-
tion should be sufficient to maintain levels of
trichloroethylene in the workshop environment
well below the recommended 100 ppm and to
insure a minimum release to the ambient at-
mosphere.

Tetrachloroethylene, commonly known as
perchloroethylene, is a synthetic halogenated
hydrocarbon with excellent solvent properties.
The primary physiological effect of
tetrachloroethylene inhalation is central ner-
vous system depression with loss of con-
sciousness and death occurring at high con-
centrations. Liver damage has also been re-
ported but only at or near lethal levels. The
probability of environmental contamination is
greatest at dry cleaning facilities where heated
solvent vapors may be released to the at-
mosphere. Although adequate technology for
the prevention of these losses is available, only
25% of the dry-cleaning establishments use
such control. At metal degreasing facilities
proper equipment design and adequate ventila-
tion are sufficiently effective in maintaining safe
vapor levels. The high volatility and low solubili-
ty of tetrachloroethylene are responsible for the
entry of the solvent into the atmosphere and the
primary mode of transport for
tetrachloroethylene photodegrades in sunlight
with a half life of 2 days and is therefore not ex-
pected to accumulate in the environment. Con-
centrations in the ambient air over the highly in-
dustrialized Los Angeles Basin averaged 1.25
ppb but levels over rural areas and the open
ocean averaged only 20 ppt.

peroxide radicals and ozone indicates at-
mospheric persistence as well. Industrial expo-
sure is limited by Occupational Safety and
Health regulations to 200 mg/cum (50 ppm).
Ambient atmospheric measurements are not
readily available. . Inhalation of ethylene
dichlorida during acute exposure has been
shown to produce central nervous system dis-
orders as well as pathological effects in the
liver, kidneys, and adrenals of humans, while
chronic human exposure produces similar
results. The no-lasting-effect level is quite high
(1000 ppm for 1 hour and 3000 ppm for 6
minutes) indicating that detrimental exposure
levels would have to be much greater. Although
the compound does not appear to pose a sig-
nificant environmental hazard, little information
is available for assessment of potential long-
term low level effects. As a result ethylene
dichioride cannot be considered innocuous
until additional health data is accumulated.

Ethylene dibromide. a colorless, nonflammable
hydrocarbon, is primarily employed as an addi-
tive in leaded gasoline to scavenge lead oxide
residues from the combustion chambers of
gasoline engines. Atmospheric measurements
made near major suspected emission sources
(service stations, refineries, production facili-
ties) reveal ethylene dibromide concentrations
several orders of magnitude below the
threshold limit value of 25 ppm established by
the American conference of Governmental In-
dustrial Hygienists. Ethylene dibromide
generally acts as a central nervous system
depressant, although it is not as effective as
many of the other halohydrocarbons. In cases
of death, pneumonia is normally the cause due
to lung damage induced by the chemical.
Symptoms of acute exposure include lung in-
flammation, congestion, edema, and hemorr-
haging. A significant environmental hazard
does not appear to be present in regard to
ethylene dibromide; however, due to the lack of
available data documenting long term, low level
exposure in humans the compound cannot be
considered environmentally innocuous.

Cresol is a methyl substituted, hydrpxylated
aromatic hydrocarbon that occurs in three
isomeric forms. Cresols are refined from coal
tar or petroleum; they can also be synthesized.
Cresols are toxic to both fauna and flora.
Poisoning of humans has resulted from inhala-
tion, ingestion, and absorption of cresol
through skin and mucous membranes. Cresol
affects the central nervoos system, the kidneys.
liver, lungs, heart, and stomach. Some fatalities
and also carcinogenicity have been attributed
to cresol. The principal sources of cresol emis-
sions to the atmosphere are the production of
cresols and the production of coke. Adsorption
onto activated carbon is the best method for
controlling the emission of cresol vapors into
the atmosphere.

Vinylidene chloride is toxic to laboratory
animals and can be fatal at sufficiently high
dose levels. Liver is the prime target organ of
Vinylidene chloride in mammals. Hepatic injury
can occur rapidly after inhalation exposure.
Chronic exposure to low levels of vinlyidenc
chloride can result in liver and kidney damage.
Vinylidene chloride is a central nervous system
depressant reported to have a narcotic effect.
Mutagenicity of vinlyidene chloride in microor-
ganisms indicates a need for investigation of its
carcinogenicity. The population at risk due to
Vinylidene chloride exposure is composed
primarily of workers in industrial or commercial
operations manufacturing or using it. Airborne
emissions of Vinylidene chloride are not likely
to pose a significant risk to the general popula-
tion. Emissions during production, storage, and
transport can be controlled by methods similar
to those planned for control of vinyl chloride.

load and estimated total industrial emissions.
Experimental measurements on a pilot-scale
furnace included baseline characterization of
each burner and variation of primary operating
parameters (air preheat, air/fuel ratio, firing
rate, heat release rate, position of gas nozzle in
burner block, and air swirl intensity). Additional
emissions data were gathered for suspected
control conditions (fuel injector design, flue
gas recirculation, fuel/air momentum ratio, and
burner block angle). It also describes in detail
the experimental facility and sampling probes
used to collect the data. Volume II discusses
completely the procedure used to select the
test burners. It includes detailed flame charac-

which minimized emissions for each burner
type. It also includes all raw data collected from

This report reviews the potential environmental
hazards of formaldehyde resulting from its
manufacture, use, production from combustion
processes and inadvertent production in the
environment. Nascent sources of formal-
dehyde, such as paraformaldehyde, trioxane
and hexamethylenetetramine, are also
reviewed. The major source of atmospheric
discharge of formaldehyde is combustion
processes, specifically from automobile emis-
sions. Formaldehyde is also a product of at-
mospheric photooxidation of hydrocarbons
emitted from automobiles. Photochemical
degradation of formaldehyde also occurs in the
atmosphere. Formaldehyde is a mutagen is
lower animals such as Drosophila and bacteria.
This property is the basis of its use as a fumi-
gant. Even though formaldehyde is a strong al-
kylating agent, information to date indicates
that it is not mutagenic or carcinogenic in
mammals, probably due to the mammalian
body's ability to repair this type of nucleic acid
damage. Formaldehyde is an allergen. It is also
highly toxic in low concentrations causing eye
and lung damage and affecting the central ner-
vous system. However, formaldehyde is also a
metabolite in biological systems and can be ef-
ficiently metabolized to formic acid, carbon
dioxide and water, or utilized in the one carbon
pool.

This document presents the findings of an ex-

fish, clam, oyster, sardine, scallop, herring, and
abalone segment of the canned and preserved
fish and seafood processing industry of the
United States to develop effluent limitations for
point source and new source standards of per-
formance in order to implement Sections 304(b)
and 306 of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act Amendments of 1972 (the Act). Effluent
limitations are set forth for the degree of ef-
fluent reduction attainable through the applica-
tion of the 'Best Practicable Contrl Technology
Currently Available' and the 'Best Available
Technology Economically Achievable' which
must be achieved by existing point sources by
July 1. 1977 and July 1. 1983 respectively. The
'Standards of Performance for New Sources'
set forth a degree of effluent reduction which is
achievable through the application of the best
available demonstrated control technology,
processes, operating methods or other alterna-
tives. The regulations are based on the best
identified primary or physical-chemical treat-
ment technology currently available for
discharge into navigable water bodies by July 1,
1977 and for new source performance stan-
dards. This technology is generally represented
by fine screens and air flotation. The regula-
tions for July 1. 1983 are based on the best
identified physical-chemical and secondary
treatment and inplant control as represented by
significantly reduced water use and enhanced
treatment efficiencies in existing systems, as
well as new systems. This technology is
generally represented by air flotation, aerated
lagoons, or activated sludge. Supportive data
and rationale for development of the effluent
limitations and standards of performance are
contained in this report.

The study is concerned with the influence of
ozone on the process of vascular tissue dif-
ferentiation in plants and the concomitant
changes in plant proteins. The test materials
consisted of wounded plant intermodes and
callus tissues grown, exposed, and studied
under controlled laboratory conditions. Ozone
was more effective in reducing xylem regenera-
tion in those internodes grown with indole-3-
acetic acid than with 2,4-dichlorophenox-
yacetic acid. From the results, it was concluded
that plant internodes and callus tissues can be
used to study the effects of ozone on certain
processes related to plant growth and develop-
ment.

dosimeters; (2) Identify pollutant-sensing prin-
ciples that offer reasonable opportunity for
early development of functioning dosimeters
capable of operating with the limits of (1)

active vs. passive sampling of the atmosphere,
as applied to candidate sensors identified in (1),
(2) and (3) above; .(5) Assess the advantages, if
any, of a systems approach to dosimeter
development, in which the design of a sensor
for a given pollutant would be constrained to
make maximum use of components and subas-
semblies common to sensors for other pollu-
tants. The study reported on has been arbitrari-
ly limited to consideration of devices applicable
to the measurement of ozone, sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen dioxide. The principles developed
will apply in some degree to the eventual design
of dosimeters for other pollutants.

Female beagle dogs were exposed for about 18
months to 1 ppm of ozone in air for either 8,16,
or 24 hours per day and to 2 or 3 ppm for 8
hours a day. The earliest evidence of response
was the appearance of macrophages in and
around tho respiratory bronchiolar-ductal re-
gion and in the adjacent alveoli. The
macrophages increased with the 'dosage,' the
maximum concentrations being associated
with 3 ppm for 8 hours per day. Although
fibrous tissue elements were only rarely
deposited at the lowest dosage, deposition
became evident in occasional alveolar ducts
following exposure for 16 hours daily to 1 ppm,
and increased as the concentration of ozone
rose. Features more apparent at the higher con-
centrations were thickening of the terminal and
respiratory bronchiolar walls and their infiltra-
tion, by lymphocytes and some plasma cells
and 'fibroblasts' that formed peribronchiolar
collars of cells. Strands of connective tissue
which contributed to the narrow alveolar
openings in the respiratory bronchioles and in
the alveolar ducts, extended into the attached
alveolar walls. Bronchiolar walls, thicKened by
infiltration with cells and deposition of connec-
tive tissue, reduced the caliber of small airways.

An incinerator discharges effluents into the en-
vironment in three states: solid, liquid, and
gaseous. The sources of these effluents are the
processes of combustion, gas cleaning, and
residue quenching. Any determination of the
pollution contribution to the environment by in-
cineration must be concerned with all these ef-
fluents. The Bureau of Solid Waste Manage-
ment has initiated a program to characterize
the performance of incinerators of different
designs and configurations. The primary objec-
tives of this program are to produce basic infor-
mation that identifies the results of the in-
cineration process and to develop reliable sam-
pling methodology. The Weber County In-
cinerator at Ogden, Utah is designed to handle
300 tons per 24 hour day of solid waste with a
gross heating value of 5000 Btu per pound. Dur-
ing the period of this study the furnaces burned
an average of 5.7 tons of solid waste per hour
per furnace or 91 percent of the design rate.

Several studies have recently emphasized the
merits of using coprostanol, a major human
fecal sterol as a positive molecular marker of
domestic pollution in addition to the standard
method for enumeration of fecal coliforms.
Bunch and his coworkers (1967) have shown
that coprostanol as well as other sterols can be
removed from wastewater by an adequate
secondary sewage treatment. This study was
undertaken to estimate the extent of human
and warmblooded animal fecal pollution and to
pinpoint the main sources of this pollution
within a 3 mile radius of Burlington, Iowa on the
Mississippi River. The survey covered seven
sampling points, including raw sewage to the
Burlington Wastewater Treatment Plant, the ef-
fluent and surface water up and down stream
from the treatment plant outfall. The analytical
method used for the estimation of the
coprostanol was based on the methodology
which was previously developed by Murtaugh
and Bunch and proven effective for the
recovery of sterols from wastewater as well as
from a stream in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. The
procedure consists of hexane extraction, mild
alkali-alcohol hydrolysis of esters and conju-
gates to free parent sterols, cleanup by thin-
layer chromatography (TLC) and quantitative
measurement by gas-liquid chromatography
(GLC). Simultaneously with the assay for the
fecal sterol, the number of fecal coliforms were
determined utilizing the membrane filter
technology.

which was previously developed by Murtaugh &
Bunch. There was one major change in that a
new packing was used for the gas-liquid chro-
matography column which permitted the free
sterpls to be run. This eliminated the need for
making the trimethylsilyl ether derivatives. The
procedure consisted of hexane extraction, mild
alkali-alcohol hydrolysis of esters and conju-
gates to free sterols, cleanup by thin-layer chro-

ment by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).
Simultaneously with the assay for the fecal

The principal objective of this research was to
develop a water resistant protective coating in
order to render water soluble glass suitable for
utilization as a container structure. Two alter-
native approaches can be used to apply such
coatings: (1) apply an inorganic coating (this is
currently being done in another research group
using vapor deposition methods), or (2) apply
an organic or polymer coating. The research
described here deals with the development of
the latter approach. The final coated structure
might be employed as a container for such
items as soft drinks, beer, food, detergents, etc.

An existing ASTM method for determining total
oxygen in coal, indirectly from an ash analysis,
was found not completely applicable for solid
wastes samples, especially if the normal
procedure of ashing solid wastes samples at
600 C is involved. With modifications of the for-
mula in the ASTM method, total oxygen can be
reasonably estimated in solid wastes samples.
However, before a formula can be applied, the
concentrations of total carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine must be deter-
mined. Likewise, the analyst must have

knowledge of the ash value for the sample and
the procedure by which it was ascertained. If
the ash value is determined by muffling the
sample at 600 C (normal ashing temperature for
solid wastes samples) rather than at 950 C then
the percent decomposition of carbonate car-
bon must be determined. (The ash value at 950
C maybe determined with a carbon-hydrogen
apparatus.) Two modifications of the ASTM for-
mula were required for solid wastes samples.
The method used to determine the ash value
dictates the appropriate formula because par-
tial decomposition of carbonates occurs at 600
C.

The Bureau of Solid Waste Management, has
initiated a testing program to characterize the
performance of incinerators of different
designs and configurations. The primary objec-
tives of this program are to produce basic infor-
mation that identifies the results of the in-
cineration process and to develop reliable sam-
pling methodology. A rotary kiln incinerator
was tested to develop basic information per-
taining to the operation of the incinerator and
its potential impact on the surrounding en-
vironment The study was conducted during the
week of December 9 to 13.1968.

The Delaware County No. 3 incinerator is a
traveling grate incinerator with two identical
combustion units, each having a design capaci-
ty of 250 tons per 24 hr. The combustion
products from each furnace pass through a
wetted refractory baffle impingement collection
system and are discharged into the atmosphere
through a common stack. The residue drops
from the grates into the quench tank where a
drag conveyor removes the residue and
discharges it into a truck for removal to a
disposal site. Wastewater from the collection
system and quench tank flows into a clarifier
prior to its reuse or discharge into a water-
course. The purpose of the test was to develop
basic information pertaining to the operation of
the incinerator and its potential impact on the
surrounding environment

The analysis of an aerated, diluted sample for
its BOD involves the determination of it£ dis-
solved oxygen content before and after an incu-
bation period. The difference between the ini-
tial dissolved oxygen and the final oxygen con-
tent represents the oxygen demand of the sam-
ple. The oxygen demand of incinerator quench
water (or similarly polluted water) is exerted by
three classes of materials: (a) carbonaceous or-
ganic material usable as a food source by aero-
bic organisms; (b) oxidizable nitrogen derived
from nitrite, ammonia, and organic nitrogen

compounds which serve as food for specific
bacteria (e.g. Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter);
and (c) certain chemical reducing compounds
(e.g. ferrous iron, sulfite, and sulfide) which will
react with molecularly dissolved oxygen. Since
incinerator quench water may contain many
variables which affect the Winkler Method of
analysis, the Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer
Method is recommended for BOD analysis of all
quench water sample. The Alsterberg (Azide)
Modification of the Winkler Method is recom-
mended for standardization of the Analyzer
using the relatively pure dilution water. The
sampling location at each site is very important
in the evaluation of the data. The sampling site
should be chosen on the basis of obtaining the
most representative sample.

Inherent in the nature of solid waste is a dust
and dirt problem. An explosion at the Center
Hill Incinerator, Cincinnati, Ohio, showed that
incinerator dust was a problem. Although the
recorded explosion damaged only property,
another such explosion could result in injury or
possibly loss of life. Therefore, the dust
problem associated with incinerators took on a
new dimension, and it was deemed important to
study the explosibility of incinerator dust. The
Bureau of Mines has conducted extensive
research into dust explosions and the hazards
associated with them. They have also
developed the equipment to evaluate the ex-
plosibility of dusts and established the ac-
cepted standard in this field. The Bureau of
Solid Waste Management developed an instru-
ment similar to their Hartmann apparatus in
order to evaluate the explosibility of incinerator
dust.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate a modified
Dragendorf reagent test method for the deter-
mination of nonionic surfactants in influents
and effluents of biological wastewater treat-
ment plants and to compare its sensitivity with
that of the cobalt thiocyanate method for
nonionic detergents. The WICKBOLD method is
based on the precipitation of the surfactant
with a modified Dragendorf reagent (K2BII4 +
BaCI2 -facetic acid). The filtered precipitate is
washed with acetic acid and dissolved in am-
monium tartrate solution. The bismuth from the
bismuth-surfactant complex in solution is then
titrated potentiometrically at pH 4 - 5 with
0.0005 N pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate solution
using a platinum and calomel electrode. The
cobalt thiocyanate method involves the treat-
ment of the detergent with ammonium cobalt
thiocyanate solution, chloroform extraction of
the surfactant-cobalt thiocyanate complex and
the spectrophotometric analysis of the complex
in chloroform at 318 nm. The three nonionic
surfactants used in the studies were: (1) fatty al-
cohol ethoxylate with 30.7 ethylene oxide units,
(2) fatty alcohol ethoxylate with 10.6 ethylene

with solar irradiation is related to an increase in
fuel aromatic content on a per vehicle basis.
These estimates do not include the compensa-
tion in effects of fuel aromatic increases result-
ing from the decrease in overall emissions re-
ported to occur from substitution of unleaded
deposits from lead-free fuel usage for the
present lead deposits. This unleaded deposit
effect has been found in most studies to reduce
gaseous emissions and polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbon emissions. The cause of this
deposit effect has not been isolated with
respect to lead, phosphorus and base fuel

The original Winkler method has been modified
since oxidizing agents give a positive inter-
ference, reducing agents a negative inter-
ference, and organic compounds a varied inter-
ference. The most common interference is that
caused by nitrites, commonly present in pol-
luted waters and wastes. The Alsterberg (Azide)
Modification utilizes sodium azide to reduce
the nitrites. The Alsterberg (Azide) Modification
of the Winkler Method utilizing 'dilution water'
is employed to standardize the Weston and
Stack DO Analyzer. However, before the
method can be utilized to determine the BOD of
incinerator quench water, the samples must be
analyzed for the presence of interfering sub-
stances. The preliminary tests presented herein
(appendix), can be employed to evaluate the
applicability of the Alsterberg (Azide) Modifica-
tion in the determination of the BOD of a
quench water sample. Since the tests are
qualitative and involve distinct color changes or
precipitates, the concentration of the reagents
may be approximate. Standards should be em-
ployed, however, to verify the validity of the
preliminary analyses and impart to the analyst
knowledge of the color intensity and hue.

1968. The sources of process solid waste
generation were the cupola, the sand reclama-
tion system, and the settling basin. During the
study week, the cupola generated 84 cu yd of
slag and sand waste, the sand reclamation
system generated 126 cu yd of sand waste, and
the settling basin generated 42 cu yd of sludge.
Waste storage within the foundry consists of
open containers, closed containers, and open
storage on the ground. Wastes are collected
and transported daily to three landfills in both
covered and open vehicles. These waste
management practices were found to
adequately remove the wastes from the foundry

The New Orleans East Incinerator has a design
capacity of 400 tons per day, or 200 tons per day
for each of its two identical reciprocating grate
furnaces. It was designed for solid waste with a
5.000 Btu per Ib heat content. During the study
period, February 10 to 14, 1969, the burning
rate of the unit studied, furnace No. 2, was 237
tons per day, or 18.5 percent above the design
capacity. The average paniculate emission rate
for furnace No. 2 during the study period was
1.35 gr per scf (standard cubic foot) of dry flue
gas corrected to 12 percent CO2. The incinera-
tor process water discharged into the canal
near the. plant was approximately the same
quality as the well water, the original source of
the process water. The total ownership and
operating costs for the calendar year 1968 were
$442,156. This was the cost of incinerating an
average of 160 tons per day. or $9.36 per ton. An
industrial hygiene survey of the incinerator
found that during the study period the dust
concentration and noise levels were below
maximum permissible levels and presented no
health hazard. A bacteriological study of the in-
cinerator provided a comparison of the organ-
isms in the solid waste and the residue.

This report presents the results of a study to
develop a participate implementation plan for
the Metropolitan Los Angeles Air Quality Con-
trol Region. The Los Angeles Region presently
experiences suspended participate levels well
in excess of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. This study formulates control strate-
gies which produce substantial reductions in
suspended paniculate levels and evaluates the
impact of these strategies in 1977 and 1980.
Because of the severity of the Los Angeles par-
ticulate problem and because of significant
background participate levels, the strategy for
standard attainment is of a very drastic nature.
This study formulates and recommends other
less drastic control plans for actual implemen-
tation.

250C by an electric furnace designed specifi-
cally for use with the sample cell. A small bulb
connected to the main compartment of the
sample cell contains liquid H2SO4. The partial
pressure of the H2SO4 vapor is controlled by
regulating the temperature of the liquid H2SO4,
which is at lower temperature than any other
part of the cell that is in contact with the vapor.

Transmission curves have been scanned for a
variety of samples over the 7.8 micrometer -
12.8 micrometer region with spectral slitwidths
between 0.5/cm and 41cm. At wavelengths of
maximum absorption near 8.2 micrometer and
11.4 micrometer, the absorption coefficient is
approximately 0.0004/(ppm - meters). During
the early part of the present contract, EPA
scientific personnel investigated the complex
chemical reactions involving SOS that occur in
the stacks of stationary sources. The results of
this investigation indicated that the typical ef-
fluent probably contains more H2SO4 than
SOS. Thus, it was decided that the need for an
H2SO4 monitor was greater than that for an
SOS monitor.

A population exposure methodology has been
developed and applied to total suspended par-
ticulate (TSP) in the NY-NJ-Conn Tri-State Re-
gion. Ambient TSP data produced by 72 moni-
toring stations, 1971 to 1973, were used for the
analysis of population exposure to TSP. Census
data are aggregated into 215 points to form a
demographic network. The monitored air quali-
ty data are spatially interpolated to each demo-
graphic network point to calculate a local
population exposure. Annual and quarterly
geometric mean concentrations are used to
estimate long-term population exposure to
TSP. Long-term exposure is characterized by a
population dosage spectrum that indicates a
population distribution of exposures at various
mean concentrations. Population average air
quality is computed to indicate representative
air quality levels. A health risk index indicates a
percentage of the population exposed to air
pollution above the annual standard.

sions. The water model, similar to an air pri-
oritization model developed in an earlier study,
is based on mass of emission, hazard potential
of the emission, ambient water loading, and
pollution density in the emission region. Solid
emissions were divided into air and water emis-

incorporated into air and water prioritization
models. The report gives the relative ranking
resulting from the application of the models to

The application of EPA test method (M-6) to the

than had previously been employed has been
studied. The use of prepared gas mixtures
showed that the method is efficient for the mea-
surement of gaseous sulfur dioxide in concen-
trations of up to 80,000 mg/m. The investigation
also showed no evidence of retention of signifi-
cant quantities of sulfur dioxide in the isopropyl
alcohol bubbler or of the production of sulfur
compounds that are insensitive to barium-
thorin analysis. When multiple impinger trains
were employed, analysis of individual impinger
contents showed that more than 99% of the
sampled sulfur dioxide was collected in the first
two impingers. even at the higher concentra-
tion, except when sufficient sample was col-
lected to deplete the hydrogen peroxide in the

flow rates were used. These results contradict
earlier reports that Method 6 suffers from a
negative bias at high sulfur dioxide concentra-

The report gives an overview of equipment used
for municipal solid waste (MSW) size reduction
and discusses its performance and cost. Of the
11 basic equipment types used for shredding
MSW, only hammermills and grinders find wide
application. An evaluation of available hammer-
mill and grinder performance data indicates
that: their specific energy consumption is inde-
pendent of throughput for the same product
size distributions and feed characteristics
(power, however, is a function of throughput).
Higher shaft speeds produce finer size distribu-
tions and require more energy for the same
throughputs:, smaller grate spacings (exit
clearances} produce finer particles;. and for
constant feed and shredder operating condi-
tions, specific energy consumption is a
minimum at 30-40% refuse moisture content.
On the basis of available cost estimates, the ini-
tial cost for shredders ranges from $3528 to
$6174 per Mg/hr. Fine shredding performance
or cost benefits information is not available.
The,need for fine shredding in most materi-
al/energy recovery systems is currently dictated
by process constraints and the benefits may be
system specific.

interviews with manufacturers and users, and a
literature survey. Experiments were aimed at
determining collection efficiency as a function
of particle size at varying current densities and
specific collection areas. The results agreed
reasonably with those predicted by simulating
the experimental conditions with a mathemati-
cal model. The feasibility of collecting SO2 and
paniculate in a WESP was examined. As ex-
pected, calculation of ion transport rates in-
dicates that only an insignificant amount of
SO2 can be removed by selective ionization of
SO2 molecules. Mass transfer calculations in-
dicated that irrigated electrode surfaces would
not provide sufficient interfacial area for
desired SO2 removal levels. Based on conven-
tional geometry and stainless steel construc-
tion, a WESP/scrubber device would be more
costly than a scrubber-only system because of
high WESP capital costs. The effectiveness of a
WESP as a mist eliminator following a scrubber
was calculated to be a function of the particle
size distribution and the concentration of the
mist to be collected. The field test and literature
survey showed that WESP's have been used ef-
fectively to control fine particle emissions in the
aluminum, iron and steel, chemical and
petrochemical fields.

adequate ($9.9% efficiency) for sampling non-

ranges. Nonvolatile particle penetration
decreased with increasing temperature and in-
creasing filter loading. The effect elevated tem-

problems encountered in the high temperature
environment were filter holder leakage and
volatilization of gas-borne particles that passed

The report gives results of estimating panicu-

shredded municipal waste (MSW) and oil, using
existing data on paniculate emissions from oil-
fired electric utility boilers and from waterwall
(steam generating) incinerators firing either
waste or waste-plus-coal/oil auxiliary fuel.
Control device performance was estimated for
several planned oil/MSW resource recovery
systems. On the basis of these estimates, in-
stalled paniculate emission controls, designed
for coal, are predicted to be significantly less
efficient for control of partieulate emissions
from combined firing of oil/MSW. Anticipated
control difficulties result mostly from relatively
high partieulate loadings, high flue gas
volumes, fine particulates, relatively low parti-
cle density, and relatively high fractions of car-
bonaceous low-resistivity partieulate.

the basis for determining the impact on the ex-
isting refining industry. New refinery construc-
tion during the period under analysis (1975-
1985) is also considered by development of
computer models representing new grassroots
refineries. The computer models are used to as-
sess investment and energy requirements to
meet the possible regulation and the incremen-
tal cost to manufacture all refinery products as
a result of the regulation. Parametric studies
evaluated the impact of variations in the types
of imported crude oils available for future
domestic refining and the projected sulfur level
of residual fuel oil manufactured in the U.S.

The report gives results of a project to develop
fibrous structures for air filtration which are
economical and efficient, and have low pres-
sure drop. The structure of needle punched
fabrics showed excellent characteristics as
filter media. Fundamental studies were carried
out to investigate the effect of different needled
fabric parameters on their filtration per-
formance and mechanical properties. High effi-
ciency levels were obtained at relatively low
pressure drop, compared to woven fabrics.
Fabric parameters studied were; needling in-
tensity, fiber orientation and length, needle size
and penetration, scrim material, fabric weight,
and number of passages through the needling
process. The pressure drop for clean filters was
predicted theoretically. Based on the funda-
mental studies, fabrics were developed in
which Cerex 1.5 oz/sq yd was used as scrim
and punching was done on stages and which
were found superior in many respects to com-
mercial fabrics.

A pilot-scale field study was conducted to eval-

complete treatment of raw comminuted waste-
water on a year-round basis in a mild climatic
zone. Raw comminuted wastewater was ap-
plied through a specially designed distribution
system which operated at low pressure and
prevented the formation of aerosols. This spe-
cially designed applicator operated at a pres-
sure of 1.0 kg/sq cm (15 psi) and was used to
apply wastewater to three experimental plots at
7.4, 8.6, and 9.8 cm/week rates of loading.
Wastewater and plot runoff samples were col-
lected periodically to compare treatment effi-
ciencies for the three loading rates and to
determine seasonal influences on treatment ef-
ficiency. Fifteen parameters including
suspended solids, biochemical oxygen de-
mand, nitrogen, and phosphorus were used to
evaluate treatment efficiencies. The results of
this 18-month field study showed overland flow
to be an effective process for achieving ad-
vanced waste treatment of raw comminuted
wastewater via a simple system with no sludge
production.

management facilities store, treat and dispose
of wastes in facilities not associated with the in-
dustries that generate the waste. An analysis of
the industry structure and organization includ-
ing data on types of firms and plants, employ-
ment, pricing and costing, and markets was
performed. An assessment was made of the in-
dustry's financial profile for earnings, cash
flow, assets, investment, and other financial in-
dicators. In 1975, there were approximately 95
firms in the industry operating 110 facilities;
total industry revenues were about $100 million.

An analytical method was developed for the
direct determination of microgram/liter con-
centrations of molecular H2S. The procedure
involves bubbling compressed nitrogen
through an aqueous sulfide solution to displace
H2S which is collected in a glass bead concen-
tration column and measured colorimetrically.
The H2S concentration is calculated from the
determined sulfide displacement rate and by
reference to a log linear standard curve relating
temperature with the H2S displacement rate to
the H2S concentration in standard solutions. To
permit accurate determination of H2S from the
determined dissolved sulfide concentration and
fraction of dissolved sulfide as H2S for specific
conditions of temperature and pH, the apparent
linear relationship between pK1 for H2S(aq)
and temperature was defined. This procedure
of calculating H2S in various waters and ef-
fluents was confirmed by the direct technique.
The described analytical technique was used to
define the relationship between test pH and sul-
fide toxicity to the fathead minnow.

act is essentially to back up the States, that is,
to initiate enforcement action when a state fails
to act or when a state requests such action.

Spray runoff Irrigation is a treatment process in
which wastewater is applied to sloping, plant
covered land. The process yields a treated ef-
fluent which is collected on the toe of the slope
for discharge. The process Is also referred to as
an overland flow system or a living filter. Utiliza-
tion of the system is dependent upon such vari-
ables as available land, soil type, topography,
climate, location, and wastewater charac-
teristics. White spray runoff irrigation has many
advantages, there are inherent problems to be
overcome. Solids and grease in the waste water
may build up deposits under the spray pattern
and result in anaerobic conditions. The poten-
tial for odors, insects, and aerosol drift restricts
locating this treatment process near residential
areas. Precipitation and freezing temperatures
limit wastewater application. This report
presents a study on a pilot scale spray runoff ir-
rigation system. The objectives of the study
were: (1) to determine if the system would suffi-
ciently treat meatpacking wastewaters to meet
national discharge limitations. (2) to ascertain
whether a goal of 80 percent removal of both
total nitrogen and phosphorus could be
achieved to meet future environmental needs.
and (3) to establish the economic feasibility of
the system.

This report summarizes the results of a pro-
gram to characterize the trace element emis-
sions from three coal-fired electric generating
stations. A material balance approach was used
for a quantitative examination of twenty-seven
elements. An additional twenty-six elements
were surveyed semiquantitatively. The trace
elements can be broadly classed into three
general groups: (1) those uniformly distributed
in the coal ash. (2) those preferentially emitted
with the fly ash, and (3) those emitted as vapors
in the flue gas. The selection of stations using
different coals with different boiler and particu-
late collection configurations provided a com-
parison of trace element emissions as a func-
tion of plant design and operating parameters.
The overall report is presented in four volumes.
Volume I compares the three stations. Volumes
II. III. and IV give detailed results and descrip-
tions of the methodology used for the individual
stations.

More than 3.5 billion tons of solid wastes—such
as abandoned cars, discarded bottles and cans,
and paper—accumulate in the United States
each year. About $4.5 billion is spent annually
to dispose of wastes from these sources. The
most common methods of solid waste disposal
are landfill and incineration. A survey has
shown that 94 percent of landfills used were in-
adequate because the wastes were not covered
daily or were burned in the open, and that 75
percent c; the incinerators used were in-
adequate Because they did not reduce waste ef-
ficiently or because they caused air pollution. In
view of these facts and of the increasing public
and congressional concern over solid waste
disposal, GAO reviewed the effectiveness of the
Federal grant program conducted by the Office
of Solid Waste Management Programs for
demonstrating new and improved means of
solid waste disposal.

The report provides information on processes,
procedures, and methods to control pollution
resulting from mining activities. The control
methods included in the report are identified
and described by way of brief text, generalized
illustrations, and unit cost indications where
possible. An extensive bibliography is ap-
pended with appropriate referencing in -the
description of each pollution control method.
The publication has been prepared to be a
general overview of available pollution control
techniques. The described techniques should
be considered as potential alternatives for
specific mining pollution problems. The ap-
plicability of any method or combination of
methods will depend upon many factors includ-
ing climatic, geologic, engineering, economic,
land use and aesthetic considerations. The
usual case will be that a combination of

techniques will be required to effect the
elimination or reduction of the discharge of
pollutants from mining sources. The control
measures described are conceivably applicable
to mining sources of pollutants regardless of
whether those sources are categorized as
•point' or 'non-point' sources. The control mea-
sures and pertinent experience citations
selected for inclusion result largely from stu-
dies and pollution control technology develop-
ment that have occurred in association with
coal mining pollution problems in the eastern
U.S. Cost data are shown where appropriate to
indicate a broad range of costs for individual
control measures. Any use of quoted costs
should be limited to gross estimation for
planning purposes.

In recent years increased attention has been
directed to the quality of drinking water pro-
vided by municipalities to its citizenry. Much of
this attention has come as a result of a study of
community water supply systems (1) which
showed that many communities cannot be as-
sured of a continuous supply of safe and
palatable drinking water. Despite this interest in
the larger water supply systems, very little infor-
mation has been gathered concerning the
quality of water available to the traveling public
at small water systems. The report describes
these and gives studies to assess the water
quality.

Characterization of solid wastes materials is
necessary in the planning, designing, opera-
tion, and evaluation of refuse processing and
disposal systems and facilities. A literature sur-
vey of existing methods revealed that a
generally new macroanalytical technique would
have to be developed for the determination of
carbon |n solid wastes materials. An investiga-
tion into the basic types of carbon methods
revealed that the dry combustion-purification-
gravimetric approach, which also yields the
hydrogen content of samples, is the most
promising. This report is an account of the
development of such a carbon-hydrogen
method.

hazardous wastes, including radioactive, toxic
chemical, biological, and other wastes which
may endanger public health or welfare. Such a
report shall include: (1) a list of materials which
should be subject to disposal in any such site:
(2) current methods of disposal of such materi-
als; (3) recommended methods of reduction,

classified as follows: Manufacturing Wastes -
generated either because of its presence in the
raw material, its use in the commercial produc-
tion of other products, or the result of chemical
reactions, such as Pharmaceutical, Pesticide,

Polluted air menaces U.S. cities, threatens the
health of millions, and causes an estimated $16
billion in damage to materials and crops each
year. The largest single polluter is the automo-
bile, emitting over 90 million tons of pollutants-
-about 33 percent of the total—into the air in a
recent year. Because of the extent to which the
automobile intensifies this pollution problem,
the General Accounting Office (GAO) reviewed
the progress of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in combating auto-caused air
pollution and the problems encountered.

The safety and adequacy of water delivered to
the public in cities and towns has received an
increasing level of attention in recent years,
however, little attention has been given to the
drinking water systems provided for the use of
the traveling public along Interstate Highways.
Although the attention given to these systems
has been small, their significance cannot be
overlooked. It is estimated that there are ap-
proximately 9100 water supply systems serving
the traveling public on and along Interstate
Highways and it is estimated from Federal
Highway Administration sources that over one
million travelers use these facilities daily. The

Identifiers: Secondary sewage treatment.
The General Accounting Office (GAO) has made
this review because extensive Federal funds
will be involved in pollution control projects
along the Missouri River. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized to award
grants to States and municipalities for con-
structing sewage treatment facilities if en-
forceable water quality standards have been
established. The legislation empowering the
grants does not specify the minimum levels of
sewage treatment necessary to meet the water
quality standards. EPA, however, is requiring
the States along the Missouri River to provide
secondary sewage treatment by 1975 for mu-
nicipal wastes entering the river. The principal
purposes of sewage treatment are (1) to keep
enough dissolved oxygen in the water to sup-
port aquatic life and (2) to prevent offensive
conditions. To enforce its requirements. EPA
has advised State and local officials that the
Federal Government will not participate in the
cost of constructing sewage projects along the
river unless the States include secondary treat-
ment in their water pollution control programs.

During this month the effort towards determin-
ing waste locations and quantities was con-
tinued. Preliminary estimates for major classes
of hazardous waste materials designated as
candidates for National Disposal Sites were
prepared in recognition of the early require-
ments of the Feasibility Study. The emphasis of
this effort was placed on the inorganic com-
pounds and pesticides, data for the organic
compounds being much less available. Data
has been tabulated for the pesticides
(herbicides,' insecticides and fungicides), ar-
senic and its compounds, mercury and its com-
pounds, cadmium and its compounds, and lead
and its compounds. For the most part these
estimates are incomplete and should, therefore,
be assigned a large uncertainty, i.e., a factor of
1/2 on the low side and as high as 3 on the high
side.

Amendments require the publication of infor-
mation that will encourage waste treatment
management which results in facilities for (1)
The recycling of potential sewage pollutants
through the production of agricultural, silvicul-
tural, or. aquacultural products; .(2) The recla-
mation of wastewater; .and (3) The elimination
of the discharge of pollutants. The Amend-
ments also require the consideration of alterna-
tive waste management techniques that provide
the best practicable waste treatment technolo-
gy over the life of the treatment works.

The report concerns the Werribee Farm soil
treatment area operated by the Melbourne and
Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW). The
Board (MMBW) was constituted in 1890 by an
Act of the Parliment of Victoria to develop and
operate a system of main and general sewerage
fpr the metropolis. James Mansergh, an
eminent sanitation engineer from London, sub-
mitted eight alternative schemes, five of which
involved treatment by land. Mansergh stated
that the Werribee site was situated for land pu-
rification of sewage because it was excep-
tionally dry and had an abnormally low rainfall
compared with surrounding districts. His
recommendation, based on proven success in
England, and on the benefit of irrigation in an
area of low rainfall, was for disposal by flood ir-
rigation on prepared land without prior treat-
ment of the sewage. Even today raw sewage is
used at the Werribee Farm. The Werribee Farm
soil treatment system is the outstanding project
in Australia from the standpoints of the lowest
annual operating costs, success, size and ex-
tent of experience with the use of wastewater
effluents.

The study described in this report represents a
new approach to the analysis of household
solid waste. Its purpose is to provide a method
by which not only the current materials com-
position of this waste, but also the effects of
new government policies or other significant
developments on this composition—and on the
possibilities for resource recovery—can be
readily ascertained. This approach involves the
use of economic input-output analysis as a
means of tracing the flows of physical materials
from the household sector where they are last
used, back to the industries from which they (or
the products of which they are a part) are
purchased. This analysis is based on a matrix
that shows the values of purchases by every
sector of the economy from every other sector
during a given time period. From such a base, a
dynamic model may be developed to show the
levels of future purchases, sector-by-sector. By
converting the values of purchases into the
weights of basic material Inputs, it is then
possible to infer the kinds and quantities of
materials embodied in the products discarded
by households.

sample space on the airborne platform and time
resolved measurements of relative particle
number density and particle size distributions

obtained. The results show that the large
aerosol particles were predominantly 50-75
micrometers in size, that the relative number
density could vary greatly in space and time,
and that the largest concentration of particles
were within 28 meters of ground level.

This report summarizes three independent stu-
dies: an analysis of prior evaluative studies of
three mesoscale air pollution prediction models
(two trajectory models and one grid model), an
examination of the extent of validity of each
type of model, and an analysis of the sensitivity
of grid model predictions to changes in the
magnitudes of key input variables. The analysis
of prior studies showed that the three models
evaluated generally reproduced measured
ground-level pollutant concentrations with less
than acceptable accuracy. This outcome is the
result partly of problems of inadequacies in the
models themselves and partly of the non-
representativeness of the measurement data. In
the validity study, the results indicate that nu-
merical diffusion can introduce significant
error in the grid model, whereas neglect of wind
shear and vertical transport are most detrimen-
tal in the trajectory approach. The sensitivity
analysis assessed the change in magnitude of
predicted atmospheric pollutant concentra-
tions due to variations in wind speed, diffusivi-
ty, mixing depth, radiation intensity, and emis-
sions rate. The results of the sensitivity analysis
showed that variations in these key input varia-
bles influence predictions according to the fol-
lowing order of decreasing influence: wind
speed, emissions rate, radiation intensity, mix-
ing depth, vertical diffusivity, and horizontal dif-
fusivity. Moreover, the responses of CO and
NO2 tend to vary linearly with the meteorologi-
cal and emissions parameters, whereas those
of NO and O3 tend to be nonlinear.

This report describes the refinement of a
mesoscale photochemical air quality simulation
model through studies of selected chemical
and meteorological phenomena that contribute
to air pollution. The chemistry activities
focused on the design of an automatic com-
puter program for evaluating kinetic
mechanisms, the improvement of a
photochemical mechanism for incorporation in
mesoscale models, and the development of a
chemical mechanism for describing SO2 oxida-
tion. The meteorology studies examined the
sensitivity of the model to the inclusion of wind
shear, algorithms for deriving mass-consistent
wind fields, and the treatment of turbulent dif-
fusivities and elevated inversion layers. Alterna-
tive numerical techniques for solving the ad-
vection/diffusion equation in grid models are
evaluated, including various finite difference,
particle-in-cell, and finite element methods, in
an attempt to find a suitable methodology for
accurately calculating the horizontal transport
of pollutants. Finally, the report considers the
problem of multiday model usage and presents
results from a two-day CO simulation for the
Los Angeles basin.

This report develops mathematical techniques
that influence the development of urban air pol-
lution but are not resolvable by grid networks
used in airshed simulation models. These
phenomena include turbulence-generated
fluxes of pollutants, turbulence-induced fluc-
tuations in the contaminant concentrations,
and subgrid-scale variations in the mean con-
centration distribution. In addition, the report
examines the problem of resolving the spatial
details that exist in the mean concentration
fields in the vicinity of point and line sources.
The analysis concludes with a discussion of the
problem of accounting for pollutant dispersion
effects caused by buoyancy forces in hot stack
exhausts.

A mathematical model of the dynamics of
photochemical aerosols should include emis-
sions of primary particulates and gaseous
precursors of secondary aerosols, homogene-
ous nucleation, heterogeneous condensation,
heterogeneous chemical reaction, coagulation,
advection, diffusion, settling, and deposition on
surfaces. This report discusses the theory of
each of these processes and assesses the rela-
tive importance of each in shaping the volume
distribution of photochemical aerosols. The
authors conclude that in Los Angeles
photochemical smog heterogeneous conden-
sation is the principal mechanism for changes
of the volume distribution in the accumulation
size range, though homogeneous nucleation
can be important under certain conditions for
forming very small particles (less than 100 A
diameter). Coagulation must be considered in
reshaping the size distribution of emissions and
in reducing the number of particles formed by
homogeneous nucleation. An in-depth assess-
ment is also presented of the pathways for the
formation of aerosol material from the gas
phase via homogeneous and heterogeneous
chemistry. Finally, the equations governing the
evolution of the photochemical aerosol are
derived and simplified on the basis of order-of-
magnitude calculations of the individual terms,
and various equations for different properties
of the aerosol are derived and discussed.

The study reported here was undertaken to
focus on a particular aspect of resource
recovery from automobiles; namely, the long-
range technical, environmental, and economic
consequences of changes in the materials input
into the manufacture of automobiles. That radi-
cal changes in automobile materials consump-
tion are taking place, and will continue, is readi-
ly apparent;. cars are becoming smaller and
lighter and major efforts are being made to im-
prove their fuel economy; lighter weight materi-
als, particularly aluminum and plastics, are
being emphasized as replacement for tradi-
tional materials. The study has been subdivided
into four parts as follows: (1) A quantification of
the trends in automobile material composition
in the period from now to the 1980-1990
decade; (2) An examination of technological
and economic problems associated with
materials characteristics, availability, and price
which could constrain an evident trend toward
the use of lighter metals and plastics in au-
tomobiles; (3) A study of the automobile
recycling industry to determine if the perceived
changes in automobile materials composition
might either alter economic incentives, or
present technical problems in recycling au-
tomobiles; (4) A study of long-range economic
and environmental effects using a macromodel
of the U.S. economy, the SEAS (Strategic En-
vironmental Assessment System) model,
developed under the auspices of EPA.

A method is described for measuring continu-
ously the total sulfur in submicrometric
aerosols suspended in air containing sulfur
dioxide. The aero-colloid is passed through a
tube coated internally with lead dioxide. The
gaseous sulfur dioxide diffuses to the surface
of the tube and reacts irreversibly to form lead
sulfate. The aerosol is not significantly removed
in the tube. The total sulfur in the aerosol is
determined by a hydrogen-air flame photomet-
ric detector. A sulfur balance has been demon-
strated for the sulfur dioxide-ozone olefine
reaction system, which produces aerosols con-
taining sulfur.

The report assesses the possible water quality
impacts of coal and related energy develop-
ment upon the following water systems, the
Yellowstone, the Bighorn River Basin, the Ton-
gue River Basin, the Powder River Basin, the
Cheyenne River Basin, the Belle Fourche River
Basin, the Mainstem of the Missouri in North
Dakota, the Little Missouri River Basin, the
Heart River Basin, the Knife River Basin, and
the Cannonball River Basin. The study presents
the present (1973-4) water quality of those
streams most likely to be affected by such
development. The research discusses needs for
water use in coal development and water quali-
ty impacts most likely associated with develop-
ment. It shows critical areas where new data
should be collected to insure that any develop-
ment proceeds with minimum adverse impacts
in both the short and long term. Also, it
discusses quality of waters discharged from
energy developments. The paper addresses
qualitative impacts on ground water.

Identifiers: Fairbanks(Alaska).
Depth and time of frost penetration are impor-
tant design criteria that control or limit un-
derground domestic water supply and waste
disposal systems in any climate where winter
temperatures cause soils to freeze. In Alaska,
especially the Interior, these factors become
important because of the extreme cold and the
duration of below-freezing temperatures. Many
areas of Interior Alaska are free of permafrost,
but still experience deep seasonal freezing of
soils. Near Fairbanks a range of low hills, man-
tled with silty soils, is becoming important for
home sites and all these slopes with a southerly
exposure are free of permafrost. On such sites
it is important to know the seasonal depth of
freezing because a frozen waste disposal
system here poses a serious pollution problem
that may be a significant health hazard. This
temperature station was established because
data on soil freezing were not readily available.

The study provides adequate evidence that
volume production of automotive turbine
wheels investment cast in nickel base alloys is
both feasible and within the current state of the
art. The study has generated a logical process
for mass producing investment cast turbine
wheels and also provides the necessary
capitalization requirement to support such a
manufacturing capability. The cost analysis
supports the original premise of an 80%-20%
material to labor ratio. In addition the
capitalization, manloading and resultant over-
head considerations are well within automobile
industry standards. The O.E.M. selling price per
turbine wheel mass produced at the projected
study levels would be approximately $10.04 to
$12.15 each dependent on alloy selection. The
capitalization of a facility to investment cast
2 000,000 turbine wheels per year would cost
approximately $12,000,000 to $15.000,000, de-
pendent on alloy selection.

Evaluations of waste disposal practices and
treatment needs were made at 26 Alaskan
seafood processing facilities. Water quality stu-
dies were conducted at 15 of these facilities in
three geographical areas — Bristol Bay, Alaska
Peninsula, and Southeast Alaska. The results of
this investigation .indicated that scouring and
dispersion by tides was the determining factor
in the degree of treatment required. Dispersion
is adequate to prevent deposits of discharged
solids, and the water quality problems as-
sociated with such deposits, where (1) outfalls
are situated in fast-moving tidal areas, (2) out-
falls are submerged below lower low water, and
(3) the wastes are ground before discharge.
Bottom deposits and resultant water quality
problems were observed where wastes were
discharged ground or unground in quiescent or
shallow waters, on the beaches, or unground to
tidal areas. Considering the enormous tidal
volumes, the measurement of the dissolved ox-
ygen was of no consequence.

The National Field Investigations Center-

quality and waste source evaluation studies
since its inception. Due to the magnitude of the
surveys. NFIC-D often has relied upon auto-
matic samplers, particularly the SERCO, to col-
lect samples of the wastewater streams. These
samplers are used to collect water samples over
specified periods for subsequent compositing;
individual grab samples are collected manually.
With the advent of compliance monitoring, the
use of automatic samplers is expected to in-
crease. Data provided by the manufacturer
show that the automatic and manual sampling
methods are equivalent. To confirm that the
sampling methods are equivalent, NFIC-D con-
ducted studies at a local wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) and statistically evaluated the
results. This paper presents the results of these
studies.

A survey of vinyl chloride emissions from the

Goodrich Chemical Company showed that vinyl
chloride monomer was leaving the plants via
water, sludge, and air as well as in the final
product, polyvinyl chloride. It is estimated that
about 2.3 kg (5 lb)/day of PVC leave the B.F.
Goodrich plant, and 10 kg (22 lb)/day leave the
American Chemical plant in the wastewater ef-
fluents. Smaller quantities were found in the
sludge. The report presents a plant evaluation

was conducted. In general, the data from this
study coupled with existing information in-
dicates that radium-226 concentrations in soil
beneath structures significantly affects the
radon daughter levels within the structures. The

that structures built on reclaimed land have

predicted with good accuracy (correlation.coef-

counts for the frequency-weighted spectrum
and the duration of the noise. Units such as

hydrocarbons present in the sampled gas
stream. The Class Analyzer desorbs the sample
from this Universal Collector and passes it
through a system of class abstractors that
remove certain hydrocarbon classes while per-
mitting the remainder of the sample to pass into
cryogenic traps. The contents of each trap are
desorbed sequentially through an external
flame ionization detector. The quantity of each

An FM broadcast tower was surveyed to deter-

which personnel working on such towers would
be exposed during such tasks as painting,
beacon replacement, repairs to de-icing equip-
ment, antenna adjustment, and tower rigging
and replacement. High intensity radiofrequency
fields in excess of 180 mW/sq cm were found
on the tower. To prevent a worker's exposure
from exceeding OSHA standards, he would be
allowed to work in this field only 20 seconds in
each 6 minute period. Since this is impractical,
it was suggested that tower work be performed
only when the transmitter is turned off.

This report includes a literature search to deter-

the effect of various operating parameters {i.e.

emissions, and a feasibility study on the use of
sorbents as traps to eliminate sulfate from the
exhaust gas before release to the atmosphere.
It was discovered in the study that exhaust ox-
ygen level and catalyst age were major varia-
bles affecting level of sulfate emissions. Other
variables, such as noble metal composition,
noble metal loading, catalyst temperature and
residence time of the exhaust gas over the
catalyst had little or no significant effect on
sulfate emissions. It was also discovered that
only calcium based materials (such as calcium
oxide) removed sulfate efficiently enough with
little physical degradation during laboratory
testing of potential sorbents. Vehicle tests
using the most promising sorbents as traps
showed high sulfate removal but with unac-
ceptably high exhaust back pressures.

The objective of this study was to gain a better
understanding of the effects of pollutants on
the thermal structure and pollutant dispersal in
the planetary boundary layer. To this end nu-
merical models of the boundary layer were con-
structed. Gaseous pollutants in the boundary
layer were considered to absorb and emit ther-
mal radiation, while aerosols were allowed to
absorb and scatter solar energy. First, a one-
dimensional numerical model of the boundary
layer was constructed. The model used the two-
stream method foe the computation of radiative
fluxes, and a turbulent kinetic energy model to
account for turbulence. A series of numerical
experiments were performed to determine the
role of pollutants in modifying thermal struc-
ture and pollutant dispersal in the boundary
layer. The results showed that the predominant
influence of gaseous and particulate pollutants
on surface temperature was warming. The
second phase of the study involved the con-
struction of a two-dimensional numerical
model to study the effects of pollutants on
urban-rural differences in thermal structure
and pollutant dispersal. The effects of pollu-
tants on pollutant dispersal were found to be
significant.

determining whether industrial wastes contain-
ing hazardous components can be thermally
destroyed in an environmentally acceptable
manner using commercial scale facilities. This
plan is based on: (1) Classification, identifica-
tion, prioritization and selection of wastes such
that they provide a reasonable cross section of
currently generated industrial wastes, with par-
ticular attention to hazardous materials; (2) A
careful selection of facilities, chosen to be
representative of all feasible engineering ap-
proaches based on thermal degradation; (3) As-
signment of top priority wastes to specific
facilities on the basis that the waste can be ex-
pected to be destroyed, transportation and han-
dling of the waste is manageable, and all facili-
ties will be tested using at least one priority
waste. A summary presentation for each of the
Phase I program activities is provided.

The increased detection sensitivity results from
the use of the scanning Michelson interferome-

Forming ratios of spectra with the aid of the

the method described, even at concentrations
smaller than one part pollutant to one billion

under the procedures of the Noise Control Act.
One of the components involved in these regu-

reducing noise impact, i.e., the effect on public
health and welfare if the regulations are imple-
mented. This report utilizes the concept of frac-
tional impact analysis to assess several of the
proposed regulations. In this concept the
number of decibels that a noise exposure ex-

with sulfur oxide (SOx) air pollution emission
limitations. Regulations limiting emissions of
SOx have been imposed because excess quan-
tities of SOx seriously affect human health
through increased incidences of respiratory
disease and damage many types of materials.
The national hearing was called because power
plants are the largest source of SOx emissions
in the U.S., because large numbers of power
plants were not yet in compliance with SOx
emission limitations, and because, in most
cases, only 11/2 years remained under the
established implementation plans for these
plants to achieve compliance. It was generally
agreed at the hearing that FGD systems, when
operating properly, would reduce SOx emis-
sions by 85 to 90%, the levels required by most
states. Questions were, however, raised by
many utilities as to whether FGD systems could
be made to operate reliably and as to whether
an environmentally acceptable method existed
to dispose of the sludge produced by some
types of FGD systems. The panel additionally
found that technology was available to reclaim
sludge waste as landfill and that regenerable
systems that do not produce any appreciable
waste were available for use where throwaway
systems could not be used.

The study is a continuation of research into the
effects of sludge and industrial wastes on two
dumping sites in the mid-Atlantic continental
shelf waters off Delaware Bay. There are two
basic effects of .marine pollution, both of which
are under investigation in this area. Short-term
effects typically occur in the water column and
primarily affect plankton and pelagic organisms
immediately or shortly after actual dumping oc-
curs. Long-term effects are more generally ob-
served in the benthic communities. This
specific study is concerned only with the
benthic organisms and must distinguish
between the natural seasonal and successional
fluctuations from fluctuations resulting from
dumping.

The report assesses the potential of air pollu-
tion from nitrobenzene. Nitrobenzene is a pale
yellow oily liquid with a characteristic bitter al-
mond odor and a low volatility. In 1971,690 mil-
lion pounds were produced by seven compa-
nies, and yearly production increases of 7 to 10
percent are predicted. Bacteria will degrade
nitrobenzene in the liquid effluent stream if it is
presented to them in a sufficiently diluted state.
As shown by the downwind model, the recom-
mended TLV could be reached in 25 hours if no
control device were employed. Nitrobenzene
can cause chronic toxicity in the industrial en-
vironment. There are three routes of uptake: in-
halation of vapor, cutaneous absorption of the
vapor or liquid, and oral ingestion. There are
four sites of physiological reactions to
nitrobenzene: blood. nervous system.
peripheral metabolism and skin. The immediate
toxic effect is methemoglobinemia which is
reversible at a constant rate. At higher levels of
nitrobenzene accumulates in the cerebellum.
affecting the central nervous system. The in-
gestion of alcohol greatly augments
nitrobenzene's toxic effects. Teratogenic and
carcinogenic roles for nitrobenzene have been
predicted, but there is a need for further testing
in this area.

greater efforts in the area of spill prevention.
The objective of the subject study was to ex-
amine several technical alternatives for
developing harmful quantity and penalty rate
regulations. Four such methodologies are re-
ported.

Hazardous materials spills.
The three preceding volumes of this report
describe in detail the development of four alter-
native technical approaches for the designation
of harmful quantities and rates of penalty for
non-removable hazardous materials. All ap-
proaches were designed to comply with the
law, but each offers unique features which vary
the degree of resolution and ease of adminis-
tration achieved. Each alternative is likely to
have a different level of impact on potential
spillers as well as the environment. It is these
differences that must be characterized and
considered as part of the final selection of an
optimal approach. Volume 4 has been written to
address these and other issues.

The research demonstrates that parathion is
highly toxic to aquatic species, may accumulate
in tissues, and may persist long enough to
cause chronic damage. To find ecologically
'safe' levels allowable in aquatic systems, the
long-term effects of parathion must be studied
further. The objective of the present study was
to find the greatest chronic levels of parathion
that produce no harmful effects to brook trout,
bluegills, fathead minnows. Daphnia magna,
Gammarus fasciatus, and Chrionomus tentans.
For each species, the maximum acceptable tox-
icant concentration (MATC), defined by Mount
and Stephan, was then related to the acute
LC50. Because standardized bioassay
techniques were used, the results of these tests
may be correlated with those for other species
and compounds.

by the layman or by a state agency interested in
examining state laws and regulations affecting
this resource. The manual describes ground
water resources and sources of pollution, then
surveys existing regulations that affect ground
water quality. Suggestions for ground water
pollution control are supplied, primarily in the
form of regulatory provisions. These sug-
gestions are offered as guides for selection or
modification by a state according to its particu-
lar needs, since no single program of ground
water management would be applicable in all
locations.

An analytical and experimental investigation
has been carried out to determine the feasibility
of using the scattering of ultraviolet radiation
by SO2 as a probe of the concentration of that
molecule in stationary source emissions. Both
ordinary fluorescence and resonant Raman
scattering were considered and experimentally
it was found that the latter component was
present in the scattered radiation with sufficient
magnitude to reduce significantly the degrad-
ing effect that ordinary fluorescent quenching
has on this scattering technique. Further analy-
sis revealed that current state-of-the-art dye
lasers deliver sufficient ultraviolet pulse energy
to permit SO2 concentration determination in
practical situations but that fluorescent scatter-
ing from particulates presents a possible con-
straint to the validity of this technique. A field
program is recommended to investigate the
latter.

The report describes the field evaluation of a
Red Jacket 'Aspirator Assist' vapor control
system for motor vehicle refueling and a com-
parison with results from a test of a vapor
balance system. Two different measurement
approaches are compared and a combination
of the two methods is used to calculate
hydrocarbon emissions. Approximately 100
vehicles were used to test each system. Besides
vapor measurements made during the vehicle
refueling operations, vent pipe emissions were
determined and added to the total emissions
calculations.

The report presents data on the reaction
between ozone and several sulfur compounds
which are air pollutants. The compounds of in-
terest are sulfur dioxide, dimethyl sulfide,
methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide. The rate of
the reaction between ozone and dissolved sul-
fur dioxide is strongly pH dependent. This is so
because sulfite ion reacts extremely rapidly
(second order rate constant f our o rders of mag-
nitude higher than that of bi-sulfite ion). These
results suggest that under some conditions at-
mospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide may in-
volve ozone. Dimethyl sulfide was found to
react extremely rapidly with ozone in the gas
phase but reproducible kinetic data were not
obtained. Stoichiometric and yield data from
the reaction between ozone and methanethiol
or dimethyl disulfide in aqueous solution in-
dicate those reactions to be complex
mechanistically, although one product,
methane sulfonic acid is predominant.

size-classified particulate material collected
using a new series cyclone sampling train at
nine industrial sites. The exercise was formu-
lated to determine performance of the train and
whether the chemical analyses or the bioas-
says, alone or in combination, were sufficient to
characterize the hazards associated with par-
ticulate emissions. This program lends support
to the view that size-classified particulate
matter is needed for the various chemical or
biological tests. Elemental analysis and partial
organic characterization of the particulate sam-
ples were performed. A cellular bioassay, using
rabbit alveolar macrophages, was used to pro-
vide a rank ordering of particulate samples in
terms of their observed cytotoxic activity. A
bacterial screening technique, using several
histidine deficient Salmonella typhimurium
strains, was used to study the mutagenic poten-
tial of the particulate samples. Attempts to cor-
relate observed biological activity with chemi-

This study presents the results of statistical
analyses of determinations of the average
opacity of emissions. The determinations are
based on 25 readings made by qualified obser-
vers at three types of sources. The tests were
conducted (1) using training smoke generators,
(2) at a sulfuric acid plant and (3) at a coal-fired
power plant. Observers used in the tests came
from both enforcement agencies and private
companies, and varied in the amount of field
experience in the use of the method. For each
test, the accuracy and precision of the deter-
minations is investigated. Accuracy is mea-
sured by the deviation of the determination
from a concurrent meter average, used as true
opacity for these tests. The precision of the
method is measured as standard deviations for
within-observer, observer bias and between-
observer terms. For each test, the expected
range of determinations by a single observer
and the maximum difference expected between
two observers are calculated. The results of all
the tests are used to estimate the accuracy and
precision of the method independent of the na-
ture of the site or color of the plume.

results of governmental and private efforts to
carry out provisions of the Act. The sources of
air pollution are broadly divided into three
groups: transportation sources, power sources.
and production or industrial sources. Projec-
tions for each of these groups are presented in
separate chapters of this report. As in previous
reports, national cost estimates are presented
for governmental programs and for control of
sources of air pollution. Estimates of costs,
benefits, and impacts reported herein are
based, insofar as possible, upon actual regula-

Office building solid waste generally contains a
mixture of paper grades and types which, by
weight, comprise 85 to 95 percent of quantities
generated. The heterogeneous nature of the
paper fraction has historically discouraged
wastepaper dealers from pursuing office
buildings as a primary source of paper stock.
Separated from the waste stream at the point of
generation, however, can rid recyclable paper
of prohibitive contaminants such as carbon
paper, bottles, cans, and organic materials.
Source separated quantities are then marketa-
ble. The study objective was to assess source
separation as a viable resource recovery option
in office buildings. Three basic approaches to
office building source separation were studied
in twelve case study locations: Desk top; dual
basket; and, central container.

conference made it clear that groundwater pol-
lution is a problem in the heavily populated and
industrial portions of Europe. Governmental
bodies are aware of the situation and are work-
ing to formulate legislative and regulatory
mechanisms to prevent and control pollution.
In England new (1972) legislation will aid in
stemming pollution from hazardous wastes: the
pollution problems associated with high
groundwater velocities and little filtration in the
fissured chalk (limestone) aquifers are particu-
larly troublesome.

The report holds that the U.S. must begin to
consider actions that will reduce the negative
environmental impacts produced by the
present packaging systems. Observers are, for
example, beginning to see limits to the availa-
bility of raw materials needed to make some
packaging materials. Second is the rapid deple-
tion of the energy sources required for the
production of packaging. In addition to the
natural-resource issue, it is important to recog-
nize the potential reduction in pollution that
would result from reusing and recycling con-
tainers. A new system is needed in which con-
sumption is decreased, and materials are
reused and recycled.

The engineering aspects of school water
fluoridation, with the exception of maintaining
a higher fluoride level, are fundamentally
similar to those of community water fluorida-
tion. A simplified procedure for making a
school fluoridation installation has been
derived. Jhe installation is based on the use of a
saturator for automatically preparing fluoride
solutions of fixed concentration. By choosing a
point for fluoride injection where water flow
and pressure are relatively constant, or at least
vary only between regular limits, the need for
frequent dosage adjustments is eliminated. In
addition, a system for surveillance has been
established which enables both the local opera-
tor and the supervisory authority to detect
potential problems and take corrective action
when indicated.

The objective of this study was to investigate
the use of iricrobial protein produced from or-
ganic wastes as a source of protein in chick
starting rations. Microbial protein recovered
from the mold mycelia was produced when
potato waste materials were homogenized and
added to a mineral salt containing a culture
medium suitable for the action of a strain of
Aspergillus niger. The new product containing
approximately 29.0 percent protein was added
to chick starting rations, replacing the soybean
protein. Sixty-two percent of the protein in the
ration were supplied by soybean meal. The
length of the feeding trial was four weeks.
Results of the feeding trials showed that fungal
protein was effective in supporting body main-
tenance but was ineffective in stimulating
growth. Palatability of rations and poor feed
consumption were factors contributing to slow
growth. However, feed utilization was less of a
problem as shown by nitrogen retention trials.

A national emission standard for sulfur dioxide
and reduced sulfur compound emissions from
petroleum refinery sulfur recovery plants is
being proposed under authority of section 111
of the Clean Air Act. Sulfur dioxide is a criteria
pollutant whose adverse effects are well docu-
mented. Reduced sulfur compound emissions
could reach ambient levels sufficient to
produce severe odor problems in the vicinity of
a petroleum refinery in the absence of the stan-
dard. The purpose of the proposed standard is
to minimize reduced sulfur and sulfur dioxide
emissions from refinery sulfur recovery plants
to the level attainable with best available con-
trol technology. The standard will have the ef-
fect of inducing emissions from a typical
refinery sulfur recovery plant by 99.9%. En-

standard and alternative control options are in-

The discovery that asbestiform fibers occurred
in the Duluth. Minnesota drinking water supply
caused considerable official and public con-
cern. Advice was given that use of the water
should be curtailed especially for children. The
Army Corps of Engineers provided specially fil-
tered water for anyone who wanted to use such.
When it was learned that Duluth was not a
unique situation and that other drinking water
supplies also contained asbestiform fibers, it
was expected that the provision of specially fil-
tered water might also be done in other cities.
At one time it was proposed that bottled water
be provided to the residents of Boston because
of concern about the lead content of the drink-
ing water. Little is known about the use of such
emergency water supply and if the practice is to
continue it would seem desirable to measure
the public's reaction and use of the water pro-
vided. Such information would aid in the provi-
sion of the emergency water supply and en-
couraging the public use of the water provided.

Standards of performance for the control of
emissions of total reduced sulfur (TRS) and
paniculate matter from new and modified kraft
pulp mills are being proposed under the
authority of section 111 of the Clean Air Act.
TRS emissions from kraft pulp mills are ex-
tremely odorous, and there are numerous in-
stances of poorly controlled mills creating
public odor problems. The proposed standards
would prevent odor problems from most newly
constructed kraft pulp mills, except in the im-
mediate vicinity of the mills on occasions when
meteorological conditions produce downwash
of stack plumes. Paniculate matter emissions
from new mills would be reduced by more than
99 percent below the levels that would result
from no control and more than 50 percent
below the average levels that are being
achieved by existing facilities controlled to the
average State standards. Emissions of TRS
would be reduced by more than 95 percent
below the uncontrolled levels and more than 80
percent below the average levels for existing
sources. An analysis of the environmental and
economic effects associated with the proposed
standards is included in this document. Por-

The purpose of these investigations was to
evaluate the potential of various new fabrics as
baghouse filters and to obtain data for use by
the fabric filtration community. The testing con-
sisted of simulating a baghouse operation in a
carefully controlled laboratory setting that al-
lowed measurement and comparison of bag
performance and endurance. The simulation
discussed in this paper covered only a very nar-
row range of operating conditions. The best
performing spunbonded polyester bags signifi-
cantly outperformed the woven polyester bags;
they displayed higher efficiences, and lower
cake resistances and effective drags. Their ini-
tial costs are lower but they may have to be
replaced more often. These conclusions are
based on room temperature filtering of
redispersed flyash. No conclusions regarding
operation at higher temperature, in corrosive
environments, with different dusts or other typi-
cal field conditions are explicitly stated.

The basis of the original Pasquill-Giff ord curves
used in the Turner Workbook is restated and
consideration given to those features of the
curves which are now regarded as specially
questionable. Data on crosswind spread from
various field tests are reviewed to emphasize
the useful working relation which holds
between sigma(y) and the standard deviation of
the wind direction fluctuation. Some new trial
calculations of vertical spread are carried out in
the light of recent work using the gradient-
transfer approach, recent similarity analyses,
new observational data on the structure of tur-
bulence in the convective boundary layer, and
Oeardoroff's modeling of the mixed layer.
Recommendations are made concerning the
use of wind direction fluctuation data for esti-
mating sigma(y). for various adjustments and
constraints to be applied as an interim measure
to the existing sigma(z) curves, and for continu-
ing work required in the progress toward a final
revision of the Workbook.

This document presents an overview of a
mechanism which can be used to facilitate the
exchange of wastes, as is. from a generator to a
user and its possible role in state and areawkJe
residuals planning efforts. The premise is that
many wastes contain valuable materials, some
of which are in short supply. Extraction of
materials from these wastes makes sense from
both the cqnservational and the environmental
points of view. Industry can dispose of its un-
wanted wastes and perhaps receive a monetary
bonus. The waste receiver can potentially
reduce costs for materials. In addition, the en-
vironment is saved from the introduction of
potential pollutants from land and water
disposal methods.

The report gives results of an experimental in-
vestigation of an incineration concept utilizing
fluidized wastes in a confined vortex flow with
simultaneous heat recovery. The incinerator
consisted of a vortex combustion chamber and
a cooled vertical furnace column 5 feet long
and half a foot in diameter. (No transition sec-
tion was used.) The vortex incinerator was
operated using propane, sawdust/propane, and
sawdust. The principal experiments were per-
formed using propane at air/fuel ratios and
total mass flow rates (in Ibs per hour) in three
combinations: 15 and 125. 20 and 220, and 20
and 280. Radial temperature profiles and heat
transfer to the wall of the vortex tube were mea-
sured as a function of air/fuel ratio, vertical
position, total gas flow rate, and inlet/outlet
configurations. Maximum energy fluxes ex-
perienced were on the order of 37,000 Btu/hr-
sq ft. A helicoidal flow-model correlation was
developed which was about 4 times that pre-
dicted for the Colburn j-Factor using the
Reynolds analogy for fluid friction for turbulent
flow past a flat plate.

The manual deals with current technology for
the measurement of total volumetric flow in
process stream ducts and for the extraction of
representative gas samples. The purpose of the
manual is to discuss techniques and hardware
to be used to obtain optimum measurement ac-
curacies while minimizing measurement
system complexity and labor requirements.
Both manual traverses and continuous mea-
surement systems are considered. Modifica-
tions to current methods are suggested where
applicable, along with the reasoning for the
proposed modifications. Program results in-
dicate that composition and flow measure-
ments in large process stream ducts can be
routinely made with accuracies on the order of
5% to 10% on a continuous basis using availa-
ble hardware and techniques. Secondary pro-
gram results relative to the accuracy and effi-
ciency of manual measurements have resulted
in several suggestions for improvement of stan-
dard methods, such as optimization of the
number of measurement points for flow mea-
surement and gas sampling. The manual is or-
ganized as follows: Derivation of equations;
error analysis; sampling methodology; hard-
ware; prototype continuous monitoring
procedures. A major purpose of this report is to
indicate where commonly used techniques
such as the EPA Federal Register methods are
potentially inaccurate or impractical, and to
suggest modifications to simplify these com-
mon procedures and/or make them more accu-
rate. The manual contains no completely new
and radical approaches to the problems of flow
and composition measurement, but it does
discuss significant and possibly controversial
changes to existing procedures.

Fathead minnows and goldfish were compared
for their suitability as a standard bioassay fish.
Acute bioassays of four potential reference tox-
icants, sodium chloride, pentachlorophenol,
hexavalent chromium, and Guthion, were con-
ducted with both species, and results were re-
ported as toxicity curves as well as LCSO's at
various times. Both species showed the same
variability of bioassay results. Since goldfish
could not complete a life cycle in 1 year under
laboratory conditions, fathead minnows were
recommended as a standard species on the
basis of their smaller size and their utility in
complete life cycle tests. Bioassays of pen-
tachlorophenol were conducted with both spe-
cies to determine the effect of testing different
sized fish of the same age or testing different
aged fish. Size selection of fish within the
ranges tested is unnecessary since differences
in LCSO's were small. Since age of fathead min-
nows did not affect the LCSO's after 24 hours,
use of younger fish would allow smaller bioas-
say chambers or more fish per chamber. On the
basis of seven criteria, sodium chloride was su-
perior for use as a reference toxicant with pen-
tachlorophenol a close second choice.

An index to the literature on structure-activity

each of the major methods was made to deter-
mine requirements for application to toxicity
data. Simultaneously a study was made of
available toxicity data and of physical-chemical
properties shown to be useful in correlation
studies. These evaluations suggested that the
structural fragments contained in chemical
structures should be considered in structure-
activity relationship studies as well as the n-oc-
tanol partition coefficients. A prototype toxicity
data base was selected from the 1974 Toxic
Substances list for 687 compounds for which
oral LD50 values were reported in the rat or
mouse. The use of discriminant and multiple
regression analyses following preliminary
clustering gave useful results, but a new exten-
sion of the method called 'substructure! analy-
sis' was used to predict the LD50 values in the
rat. This method can readily be adapted to com-
puter operation, and is recommended for ex-
tension to other sets of toxicity data.

An experiment has been carried out to deter-
mine the efficiency with which PCB's are
destroyed in a municipal sewage sludge in-
cinerator. A standard mixture of PCB's (Aroclor
1254) was injected into the sludge cake at the
rate of 50 ppm (dry solids basis) under condi-
tions whereby the various emergent streams
from the furnace could be monitored. The ex-
perimental results indicate no PCB's present in
either the scrubber exhaust water or in the ash;
the amount of PCB in the emergent stack gases
were found to correspond to destruction ratios
in excess of 0.94 under normal furnace operat-
ing conditions.

Between 1963 and 1974, approximately 104,000
cu m of solid 'low-level' radioactive waste were
buried at the Maxey Flats, Kentucky, site. These
wastes contained approximately 80 kg of plu-
tonium-239 and a large undetermined quantity
of other plutonium isotopes. In 1972, elevated
levels of radioactivity were detected in monitor-
ing samples collected near the burial facility by
the Kentucky Department for Human Resources
(KDHR). Subsequently, the KDHR conducted a
special radiological study of the burial site and
its environs. Based on the concentration of plu-
tonium present or the ratio of plutonium-238 to
-239, 49 of 50 samples collected on or near the
burial site were contaminated with plutonium
from a source other than atmospheric fallout.
Plutonium was detected in surface soil, in soil
cores 90 cm deep, in monitoring wells, and in
streams which drain the site. This paper
presents the plutonium data with interpreta-
tions of its occurrence and possible sig-
nificance from a hydrogeological and environ-
mental perspective.

Identifiers: Health risks.
The estimated potential annual dose from
radioactive radon decay products to individuals
in dwellings in the vicinity of an average inac-
tive pile is approximately 8 rem to the
tracheobronchial region of the lungs at about
50 meters from the pile, 0.3 rem at 1 kilometer,
and 0.1 rem at about 2.2 kilometers. The cor-
responding doses to the pulmonary region of
the lungs from airborne uranium thorium-230,
and radium-226 are estimated to be about one-
third as large, within 1 kilometer of the pile.
Gamma exposure rates on the tailings are up to
1 mR/hr. Estimated exposure rates are in
reasonable agreement with the limited data
from field measurements. Should an individual
be exposed continuously to a dose equivalent
of 8 rem/yr to the tracheobronchial region of
the lung, it would require 100 years of exposure
to double his risk of bronchial cancer. Also, this
level of exposure is considered equivalent to
0.5 Working Level Months per year. Average in-
dividuals exposed over a lifetime to a dose
equivalent of 0.3 rem/yr and 0.1 rem/yr would
increase their risk of bronchial cancer by about
3 percent and 1 percent respectively.

One of the most significant aspects of good
medical care is the use of x-rays to diagnose
and define the extent of disease or physical in-
jury. The per capita use of x-rays in medicine
and dentistry has expanded rapidly in the
United States due to wider availability of ser-
vices, new equipment, and an increase in so-
phisticated diagnostic examinations. Although
many procedures now produce less exposure
per film, the increased number of procedures
has increased the radiation exposure to the
population. The most important factor in reduc-
ing radiation exposure is to eliminate clinically
unproductive procedures. The factors involved
in accomplishing this goal were examined by
the Subcommittee on Prescription of Exposure
to X-rays which was made up of physicians,
dentists, and physicists from the three military
services, the Veterans Administration, and the
Environmental Protection Agency.

This document reports the results of the
development and testing of a system for rapidly
ranking environmental pollutants. One poten-
tial use for the system is in choosing the most
important candidates for Scientific and Techni-
cal Assessment Reports (STAR). Of several
possible approaches to ranking environmental
agents, a system depending on expert opinion
but assisted by an objective subsystem was
selected for development. The system defines
procedures for collecting, processing, and
evaluating data on production and use; en-
vironmental transport, transformation, and
rate;, and human health and welfare and
ecological effects. A test of the objective
subsystem confirmed the utility of the system.
Of ten candidate agents, the three highest
ranked were cyanides, carbon disulfide, and
beryllium.

The shores of Lake Erie, bordering Cleveland,
which had become contaminated because of
combined sewer overflows, were made safe for
swimming through the use of various interim
techniques. These techniques were designed to
keep beaches safe until long range goals such
as an expanded sewage system can be imple-
mented. The swimming areas at White City and
Edgewater beaches were disinfected with sodi-
um hypochlorite and enclosed by fabric bar-
riers. The barriers provide protection from con-
tamination of the beaches by floating debris
and retarded the diffusion of disinfectant into
deep waters. The other techniques which were
attempted were: Streams and combined sewer
overflows were screened and treated with sodi-
um hypochlorite; .Lateral sewers were flushed
to reduce the 'first slug' effect: physical clean-
up of the beaches and water were made; .and
polymers were used in an attempt to increase
sewer flow and thereby decrease sewer over-
flows.

The main purpose of this program was to
develop a warning system which would alert in-

treated with organophosphate and carbamate
pesticides. The design of the study was such
that the disappearance times of the pesticides
and odor agents (as well as visual agents) were
determined under laboratory climatic condi-
tions and for at least two different temperatures
outdoors. The tests were designed to evaluate
different sensory agents rather than to test one
with varying climatic conditions. The three in-
secticides involved in this program were methyl
parathion, carbofuran, and azinphosmethyl.
The first quarter of the program was devoted to
literature searching and generating experimen-
tal approaches. Second, third and fourth quar-
ters were almost exclusively devoted to experi-
mental work, although some literature
searching and studying were required
throughout the program for the purposes of
guidance and evaluation.

This report presents the results of measure-

tions and indoor radon progeny working level
determinations during November 1975 for 10
locations throughout the Ambrosia Lake area
and vicinity. New Mexico. For that portion of the
study area in the vicinity of uranium mines and
mills, statistical evaluation of the data indicates
that ambient outdoor radon concentrations and
the indoor radon progeny levels (WL) are in ex-
cess of typical background levels. Better defini-
tion of background levels and a more thorough
evaluation of specific source terms in the im-
mediate Ambrosia Lake area is strongly sug-
gested. For locations in proximity to a uranium
mill site, gamma radiation exposure rates and
the radium-226 content of surface soils are also
above normal background conditions. This may
reflect the deposition of windblown tailings
and/or ore dust. To assure compliance with
State and Federal regulations, it is recom-
mended that further studies be conducted over
at least a one-year period for comparison to the
applicable radiation protection guides for those
areas in the vicinity of uranium mill sites. Radia-
tion exposures to the general population occu-
pying areas in the immediate vicinity of uranium
mining and milling operations should also be
evaluated.

The GRADD Solid Waste Project sees two
management possibilities for the seven-county
region. Each county could elect to 'go it alone'
with individual rural collection systems. The
other alternative provides joint operation
across the region. The individual operations
will provide many local controls. The regional
system should be more efficient and cost-effec-
tive. A key element in this plan is compatibility.
Each collection system should specify the same
type of collection equipment (front-end
loaders). This will allow the development of
joint service by stages in 'building-block'
fashion. Compatible collection equipment al-
lows neighboring governments to share equip-
ment in the event of breakdowns. Resource
recovery is a major element in plan design. The
population base is not adequate to support in-
tensive resource recovery from residential
waste at the present time. The plan also pro-
vides for reclamation of selected abandoned
strip mines. Land is valuable resource. Use of
refuse to return this wasted land to use for
agriculture or recreation is a valuable form of
resource recovery. Concentrating the waste in
three regional landfills allows an easy shift to
more intensive resource recovery should mar-
ket conditions change. There is the possibility
of establishment of a plant to recover metals
from waste and burn the remainder to generate
electric power. Landfills could easily become
transfer stations moving the waste to the
processing plant.

Underground mining operations across the
United States produce a number of environ-
mental problems. The foremost of these en-
vironmental concerns is acid discharges from
inactive and abandoned underground mines
that deteriorate streams, lakes and impound-
ments. Waters affected by mine drainage are al-
tered both chemically and physically. This re-
port discusses in Part I the chemistry and geo-
graphic extent of mine drainage pollution in the
United States from inactive and abandoned un-
derground mines; underground mining
methods; and the classification of mine
drainage control techniques. Control technolo-
gy was developed mainly in the coal fields of
the Eastern United States and may not be al-
ways applicable to other regions and other
mineral mining. Available at-source mine
drainage pollution prevention and control
techniques are described and evaluated in Part
II of the report and consist of five major catego-
ries: (1 (Water Infiltration Control; <2)Mine Seal-
ing: (3)Mining Techniques; (4)Water Handling;
and (SJDischarge Quality Control. This existing
technology is related to appropriate cost data
and practical implementation by means of ex-
amples.

great goals of the 1972 Act-by July 1983, water

sive, cost-effective manner. Each chapter
presents an issue, describes the alternatives.
gives the advantages and disadvantages, and
concludes with a summary statement which
may include an EPA recommendation on the
issue. There are four basic categories of criteria
by which decisions are made in the solid waste
field: costs, environmental factors, resource
conservation, and institutional factors. These
criteria determine most decisions in the solid
waste field. The cost criteria are among the
most important to local managers, and there-
fore cost information is presented for as many
of the issues as possible.

The overall combustion process occurring
within a liquid spray fueled burner is analyzed
in terms of the ongoing dominant sub-
processes, with particular emphasis on those
subprocesses deemed most critical to pollutant
emissions. Liquid fuel evaporation, turbulent
mixing, and chemical reaction are each con-
sidered separately and are characterized by
time scales which typify the importance of each
subprocess. An axisymmetric burner consisting
of a flame stabilized in the wake of a disc with a
liquid fuel spray injected into the wake region
from the center of the disc is considered experi-
mentally. The basic flame structure behind the
disc is composed of a hollow reaction region
(shear layer) along the boundary between the
recirculation zone and the free stream. Guided
by the model of the flame structure, the
developed characteristic times are combined to
form burner output correlating parameters. The
success of these parameters is demonstrated
by the correlation of both carbon monoxide and
oxides of nitrogen exhaust emissions from the
disc burner for various geometries, a wide
range of burner operating conditions, and two
non-similar fuels. The developed characteristic
time model is extended to a conventional gas
turbine combustor, GT-309. The model predicts

The emphasis should be placed on 'River

its broadest sense as meaning a geographic
area of land. Through its two major com-
ponents—in this report, human interaction and
computer simulation—the model represents the
economic, social and governmental activity that

The in vitro methylation of inorganic mercury
has been demonstrated using an acetone
precipitated protein fraction from Pisum
sativum and S-adenosylmethipnine as the
methyl-donating compound. A time course of
the enzymatic formation of methylmercury has
shown that the maximum methylmercury con-
centration occurred after one hour of incuba-
tion of the substrates with the enzyme system.
At all subsequent incubation times reduced
concentrations of methylmercury in the reac-
tion mixture were observed. When a time
course for the in vivo methylation of inorganic
mercury was done using an infiltration and in-
cubation procedure, the maximum concentra-
tion of methylmercury was observed after 10
hours of incubation. All subsequent incubation
periods produced lesser amounts of methyl-
mercury. The results suggest that the methyl-
mercury is an intermediate compound in the
mercury pathway in peas (Pisum sativum).

without a pelleted and monolithic oxidation
catalyst treating the exhaust. Particulates were
collected at various points along a specially-

were measured, as well as the percent conver-
sion of fuel sulfur content into emitted sulfuric
acid under variations in the following operating
conditions: Cyclic and constant engine speeds;
catalyst temperatures; fuel sulfur contents:
catalyst exhaust flow rates; secondary airflows;

This report discusses the NOx compliance
procedure (Method 7) for stationary sources
and the attempts to improve the procedure and
decrease analytical time. When the procedure
is rigorously followed. Method 7 was found to
be precise and to give reproducible results. To
decrease ths time necessary to oxidize NO to
NO2, Method 7 was modified by adding an
ozone lamp. Good agreement was found
between nitrate measurements using Method 7.
and measurements using modified Method 7.
Future work incorporating an ozone lamp into
an integrated sampling apparatus is discussed.

This report discusses the refinement of a grid
point model for predicting atmospheric trans-
port and diffusion in an urban boundary layer.
In earlier studies, a coarse 8-mile horizontal
square grid was used to predict CO concentra-
tions in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. In
this stud, a 2-mile grid for the CO emission has
been used to test a recent hypothesis that pre-
dictive accuracy can be improved by incor-
porating a finer horizontal grid resolution to
more accurately reflect the spatial distribution
of a pollutant emission pattern. However, con-
trary to expectations, the evaluation statistics
show that increasing the degree of horizontal
detail in the source emission inventory did not
significantly increase the sensitivity and accu-
racy of the pollutant concentration forecast.
When compared to other models, this pollutant
forecast is among the most accurate when pre-
dicting the overall average concentration and
temporal correlation, and approximately as ac-
curate as other primitive equation models in
terms of spatial correlation statistics.

Pure acetylene is relatively nontoxic to man. It
acts as a simple asphyxiant and produces ill ef-
fects only by reducing available oxygen. Emis-
sions of acetylene are estimated to have been 9
million pounds in 1974. These occur only from
manufacturing and end use. Although there are
no specific processes mentioned in the litera-
ture for the control of acetylene emissions, ab-
sorber/scrubber systems are used in manufac-
turing operations for product purification. Sim-
ple diffusion model calculations place max-
imum expected 1-hour average ambient con-
centrations at about 5.5 ppm. and at about 3
ppm for 24-hour values near a plant boundary.
Urban concentrations of about 80 ppb and rural
values of 1 ppb have been measured. Based on
the low toxicity and expected low ambient con-
centrations, it appears that acetylene does not
pose a health or environmental hazard as an air
pollutant.

Methyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, flammable
liquid. Traditionally it has been manufactured
by the destructive distillation of wood. Modern
manufacture is based on the catalytic reduction
of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide with
hydrogen. Some main uses of methyl alcohol
are as a solvent, an antifreeze, and as a starting
material for formaldehyde and other chemicals.
Methyl alcohol poisoning occurs through in-
halation of the vapor, although cases of poison-
ing through ingestion are not uncommon.
Methyl alcohol emissions are estimated to be
1,242 million pounds/year, with solvent usage
producing almost 90 percent of the total.
Methyl alcohol is used as a solvent in many
products including inks, dyes, water-proofing
formulations and windshied cleaners. In addi-
tion, it is used throughout the chemical industry
in extracting, washing, and crystallizing opera-
tions. Therefore, methyl alcohol emissions are
produced by many small, geographically scat-
tered sources. Two types of control devices
presently used extensively by the industry to
control hydrocarbon emissions are vapor
recovery and incineration. Based on available
health effects studies and expected maximum
ambient concentrations presented in this re-
port, it appears that methyl alcohol in air does
not pose a health hazard to the general popula-
tion nor does it pose other environmental
hazards. It is, however, possible that consumer
misuse of methyl alcohol, such as use in con-
fined spaces, could cause untoward health ef-
fects on an individual basis.

"Ethylene/dichloro.
Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a clear, colorless
oily liquid with a pleasant chloroform-like sweet
odor and taste. Industrially it is made from
ethylene by direct chlorination or by ox-
ychlorination. EDC is used as an industrial sol-
vent in cleaning and extraction processes. It is
also used as a fumigant and as a lead scavenger
in gasoline. However, most EDC produced goes
into the manufacture of vinyl chloride
monomer. Data correlating acute or chronic
ethylene dichloride (EDC) exposures to human
response are quite limited. Depending on the
exposure time, acute EDC poisoning may occur
at high concentrations (above 3000 ppm)
through attack on the central nervous system. It
does not seem to pose a direct threat to strato-
spheric ozone. Emissions of EDC are primarily
a result of EDC production, end product manu-
facture, solvent usage, and bulk storage and
transportation. Emissions of EDC may be con-
trolled by several methods. Currently only
scrubbers and condensers are used to control
EDC emissions from manufacturing processes.
Incineration is a third technique; however,
hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas are
produced during incineration. Based on the
results of the health research presented in this
report, and the ambient concentration esti-
mates, it appears that ethylene dichloride as an
air pollutant does not pose athreat to the health
of the general population. In addition, ethylene
dichloride does not appear to pose other en-
vironmental insults which would warrant
further investigation or restriction of its use at
the present time. However, two actions should
be considered: (1) that concentrations be moni-
tored in a small-scale program around one of
the larger EDC production facilities or vinyl
chloride monomer production facilities, and (2)
that potential adverse effects on the earth's
ozone layer be monitored in conjunction with
the research into the effects of other halocar-
bons.

Benzene poisoning usually occurs through in-
halation of the vapor, although penetration
through the skin can be a contributing factor.
The concentration and duration of exposure
determines the severity of benzene poisoning.
Acute poisoning has a narcotic effect on the
central nervous system. Emissions of benzene
occur primarily from motor vehicles, benzene
production, end product manufacture, solvent
usage, and storage and handling losses. Total
emissions of benzene are estimated to be 1.149
million pounds per year. Benzene is used
primarily as an intermediate in the production
of ethylbenzene, phenol and cyclohexane.
Benzene emissions can be controlled by ad-
sorption with vapor recovery or incineration.
Emissions from storage tanks can be controlled
through the use of floating roof tanks or fixed
roof tanks vented to an adsorption or incinera-
tion unit. Based on the health research studies
and the ambient concentration considerations
presented in this report, it appears that benzene
in air does not pose an imminent threat to the
health of the general population, nor does it
pose other adverse environmental insults as an
air pollutant. However, due to the toxicity of
benzene, it is concluded that a small-scale
monitoring study may be appropriate.

Acetone is a colorless, highly flammable liquid
with a characteristic mintlike odor and taste. It
is one of the least hazardous organic solvents.
Acute exposure can cause mucous membrane
irritation, headache, and narcosis. Emissions
result primarily from solvent usage, production,
use as an absorbent packing for acetylene, bulk
storage, and end-product manufacturing.
About one-third of total production is even-
tually lost as emissions. Two types of emission
controls are used extensively by the industry.
These are vapor recovery and incineration.
Control by adsorption on activated charcoal is
used when recovery is economically desirable.
Based on the results of the health effects
research presented in this report, and the am-
bient concentration estimates, it appears that
acetone as an air pollutant does not pose a

Acrylonitrile is a colorless, highly flammable
liquid with a characteristic unpleasant, irritat-
ing odor. Manufacture in the U.S. is based on a
reaction between propylene. ammonia, and air;
and its primary use is in the production of acryl-
ic and modacrylic fibers such as Acrilan, Orion.
and Courtelle. Acrylonitrile is toxic when in-
haled, ingested, or absorbed through intact
skin. It is a severe skin and eye irritant. Its high
toxicfty is due to the liberation of free cyanide in
the body, which inhibits enzymes responsible
for cellular respiration. The occupational stan-
dard for an 8-hour time weighted average is 20
ppm, based on animal studies and human data
on hydrogen cyanide exposure. The primary
emission sources in descending order are
production, end product manufacture, and bulk
storage. Emissions from manufacture occur
mainly from the main process absorber vent,
which is uncontrolled at most U.S. plants. Four
control devices are, however, available: CO-
boiter. thermal incinerator, incinerator plus
steam generation, and a flare system. Based on
the results of the health effects research
presented in this report, and the ambient con-
centration estimates, it appears that
acrylonitrile as an air pollutant does not pose a
threat to the health of the general population.

Cyclohexanone is a colorless, slightly volatile
liquid with an odor similar to acetone and pep-
permint It is chemically stable and is manufac-
tured mainly by catalytic dehydration of
cydohexanol. It is used extensively in the
production of nylon and adipic acid, and it is
also used as a solvent and degreaser.
Cydohexanone is a strong irritant and a nar-
cotic agent at high concentrations, although
concentrations producing such effects are un-
likely to occur due to the low volatility of
cyclohexanone. Although emission controls
specifically for cyclohexanone are not reported,
two types of controls are used extensively by

Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pun-
gent, irritating odor. It is produced from methyl
alcohol by catalytic vapor-phase oxidation or
by an oxidation-dehydration process, and its
main use is as an intermediate in the prepara-
tion of explosives, dyes, synthetic lacquers, and
resins. Formaldehyde polymerizes in the
presence of air and moisture to form the solid
paraformaldehyde. Aerosols have a synergistic
effect on human response to formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is known to be a component of
photochemical smog formation. Control
methods which are currently used for absorber
vent emissions are thermal incineration and
redirection of vent gases to plant boilers for use
as a fuel supplement. The only device reported
for the fractionator vent is a water absorber.
Systems that are feasible but not currently em-
ployed are plume burners (no supplemental
fuel required) and catalytic incinerators. Emis-
sions from manufacture by the mixed catalyst
process occur primarily from the absorber vent
gas. and one firm is currently controlling these
using a water scrubber. Other feasible control
methods are thermal and catalytic incineration,
and a flare system. Based on the results of
health effects research presented in this report.
and the ambient concentration estimates, it ap-
pears that formaldehyde in air may produce eye
and respiratory tract irritation in sensitive mem-
bers of the general population. This applies
especially to those living near the largest
production facility; however, eye irritation from
photochemical smog must be due. in part, to
formaldehyde.

Methyl methacrylate is a colorless, flammable
liquid with an acrid, fruity odor. The primary
method of manufacture is based on the reac-
tion of acetone and hydrogen cyanide, and the
primary use is in the production of resins or
plastics such as Plexiglass and Lucite. Methyl
methacrylate vapor is an acute irritant, with eye
and mucous membrane irritation occurring at
concentrations of 125 ppm. At higher concen-
trations death will ultimately result from pulmo-
nary edema, although such high concentra-
tions cannot be tolerated voluntarily by man. In
the bloodstream, methyl methacrylate has been
linked to cardiac arrest and other cardiovascu-
lar effects caused by its hypotensive (promoting
low blood pressure) properties. No lasting
chronic effects have been recorded. The prima-
ry emission sources in descending order are
production, end product manufacture, and bulk
storage. Total emissions are estimated to have
been about 7.9 million pounds in 1974.

Maleic anhydride is a white, crystalline solid
with a sharp, irritating odor. The primary
method of manufacture is based on the reac-
tion between benzene vapor and air in the
presence of a vanadium catalyst; and it is used
to manufacture phthalic anhydride, esters,
polyester resins, dye intermediates, phar-
maceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and fumar-
ic acid. Maleic anhydride dust or vapor is an
acute skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritant at
concentrations of about 2 ppm. The primary
emission sources in descending order are
phthalic anhydride production, maleic an-
hydride production, end product manufacture,
and packaging .losses. Control of maleic an-
hydride emissions can be effected by scrubbing
the uncondensed portion of the reactor effluent
after it passes through a partial condenser. This
is done principally to recover maleic anhydride.
Scrubbing is also used to control paniculate
emissions from flaking, tableting, and packag-
ing operations with efficiencies of at least 98
percent. A number of other techniques are
under development for controlling maleic an-
hydride emissions. Based on the results of the
health effects research presented in this report,
and the ambient concentration estimates, it is
possible that maleic anhydride as an air pollu-
tant might pose a threat to the health of the
general population.

Phthalic anhydride is a white, crystalline solid
with a characteristic choking odor. It is
produced by the oxidation of either
naphthalene or ortho-xylene, and it is a key in-
dustrial intermediate in the manufacture of
resins, polyesters, dyes, and plasticizers. The
major acute toxic effect of exposure to phthalic
anhydride dust or vapor is its irritating action
on the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. The
primary end use is the manufacture of
plasticizers, with polyester resin production
second. The major emission sources in
descending order are product storage, manu-
facturing, end product manufacturing, and
product handling. Scrubbers and incinerators
are currently being used by industry to control
phthalic anhydride emissions with efficiencies
of 86 and 99 percent, respectively. Currently
used practices to control the continuous gase-
ous effluent are the use of knock-out pots for
removal of solid phthalic anhydride and the
venting of storage tanks to the main process
vent gas incinerator. Based on the results of the
health effects research presented in this report,
and the ambient concentration estimates,
phthalic anhydride as an air pollutant ap-
parently does not pose a threat to the health of

The fate and effects of a spill of six to eight mil-
lion gallons of waste crankcase oil rerefined
sludge into the Schuylkill River, Pa., in June of
1972 have been studied. The spilled oil con-
tained high concentrations of heavy metals and
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The spill
occurred during a flood, and riverbank trees
were coated with oil. Levels of lead were higher
in downstream trees; however, no direct per-
manent effects were noted. Levels of heavy
metals in river waters remained below those set
by the U.S. Public Health Service for drinking
water supplies; however, higher concentrations
of lead and zinc were observed downstream.
Levels of lead in sediments were higher
downstream. Concentrations of petroleum
hydrocarbons in sediments were higher at
downstream stations. Concentrations of lead in
downstream benthic macrofauna were higher.

This report presents a body of analytical
techniques appropriate for determining accura-
cy requirements of component parts of an
emissions inventory so as to insure (at a given
confidence level) an overall acceptable accura-
cy in the total inventory. Selected numerical
analyses are presented to illustrate application
of the techniques to Nationwide Emissions Re-
port data at different levels of aggregation. The
results are believed to constitute a significant
step in the development of techniques for mak-
ing reliable forecasts of air pollutant emissions,
and have already been applied for such pur-
poses to emissions in Region 5 of the state of
Virginia. A report on that application is also in-
cluded in the present document.

The proposal of transportation control plans
formulated to bring the air quality of U.S. major
urban areas into compliance with the mandates
of the Clean Air Act has created considerable
public concern about the social and economic
implications of these controls. The purpose of
this paper is to analyze the impact and feasibili-
ty of key components of the plans being
proposed and to examine the relationship
between the implementation of a set of feasible
transportation controls and the attainment of
the air quality standards. Important inspec-
tion/maintenance and hardware retrofit ap-
proaches to motor vehicle emissions control
are described and estimates of their effective-
ness and costs are presented. Measures
designed to control emissions through reduc-
ing auto use are discussed.

Because of the successful development
background of the automotive gas turbine en-
gine and because of its inherently clean com-
bustion system, there has been a growing in-
terest in mass producing automotive gas tur-
bines starting in the late 70's or early 80's.
Because of its simplicity, its smaller number of
parts and fewer machined surfaces, some have
predicted that gas turbine engines will be lower
in cost in mass production quantities than the
piston engine, particularly when consideration
is given to the cost of emissions control equip-
ment that must be added to the conventional
engine. Quantitative information, however, has
not been available concerning the manufactur-
ing cost of automotive gas turbine engines, nor
have questions been answered as to the cost of
owning and operating turbine powered cars.
This economic analysis was conducted to
determine values for these unknowns relative to
current production piston engines and to
define areas requiring additional development
efforts.

from an Ampelisca abdita (amphipod) commu-
nity, a Nepthys incisa-Nucula annulata
(polychaete-bivalve) community, and a Mer-
cenaria mercenaria (bivalve) community. Ox-
ygen uptake was used as a measure of metabol-
ism. Over a temperature range from 3.2 to
22.4C, ammonia flux at the sediment surface
varied. Nitrate was transported in both
directions across the sediment-water interface.
Phosphate uptake and release varied. The
fluxes measured can have significant effects on
the nutrient concentrations of the overlying

The management of the Nation's hazardous
residues—toxic chemical, biological, radioac-
tive, flammable, and explosive wastes—is
generally inadequate;.numerous case studies
demonstrate that public health and welfare are
unnecessarily threatened by the uncontrolled
discharge of such waste materials into the en-
vironment. The conclusions of the study are
that (1) a hazardous waste management
problem exists and its magnitude is increasing;
(2) the technical means to solve the problem
exist for most hazardous waste but are costly in
comparison with present practices; (3) the
legislative and economic incentives for using
available technology are not sufficient to cause
environmentally adequate treatment/disposal
in most cases; (4) the most effective solution at
least direct cost to the public is a program for
the regulation of hazardous waste treat-
ment/disposal; (5) a private hazardous waste
management service industry exists and is
capable of expanding under the stimulus of a
regulatory program; (6) due to inherent uncer-
tainties, private sector response cannot be
definitely prescribed.

Results of a study of the Construction Grants
Program are presented, and recommendations
are made for improving the program as a means
of reaching national water quality goals.
Processing of grant applications and project
work is performed smoothly and efficiently, but
there is very little coordination between the is-
suance of construction grants and the imple-
mentation of river basin plans, as required by
legislation. Detailed recommendations are
made relative to processing of applications and
projects, planning, financing of construction
grant projects, and transfer of new technology
into practical application through the Con-
struction Grants Program.

Solid waste systems in recreational areas must
be designed for maximum use. Because of the
periods of low usage that occur in recreational
areas, the overall system cost on a basis of dol-
lars per ton or per can is much higher than in
other areas with constant use. The proper
design of a solid waste system in a recreational
area is, therefore, even more critical than in an
urban area where continuous use tends to
reduce the unit cost. The Office of Solid Waste
Management Programs (OSWMP) is collecting
new data suitable for design purposes in
recreational areas. This report is an attempt to
bring together additional data from recent stu-
dies, demonstrations, and research projects.

This three-month program was a limited study
of the feasibility of applying the pyrographic
analytical technique to the characterization of
municipal waste as it passes through a treat-
ment plant The pyrographic method is based
on (1) pyrolysis of the waste in the presence of
water, (2) separation of the resulting organic
pyrolytic products with a gas chromatographic
column, (3) measurement of the eluted
products with a hydrogen flame ionization de-
tector, and (4) analysis of the pyrogram. For this
program, a breadboard pyrographic apparatus,
which was initially assembled and used in 1967,
was reactivated. Aqueous solutions of several
different organic compounds were pyrolyzed to
establish operating conditions and to verify the
performance of the apparatus. Then samples of
raw sewage and primary, secondary, and tertia-
ry effluents from the Pomona Water Renovation
Plant were pyrolyzed. The complexity of the
pyrograms decreased as the wastewaler passed
through the plant.

This paper examines the role that exports have
played in the overall U.S. wastepaper market,
emphasizing the significant export increases
that occurred in 1973. The first section reviews
the historic pattern of exports in the context of
domestic wastepaper consumption. Then the
changes in export patterns that occurred in
1973 are examined, as well as the extent to
which these changes were responsible for the
dramatic shifts in wastepaper supplies and
prices that occurred in the nation and espe-
cially in one region, the West Coast.

Between now and 1990, motorcycle emissions,
if left uncontrolled, are expected to increase by
over 100 percent. A large number of the regions
in the United States presently exceeding the air
quality standards for oxidants and carbon
monoxide (CO) will continue to have difficulties
in achieving or maintaining air quality stan-
dards in the 1980's. Uncontrolled emissions
from motorcycles would add to this burden.
When statutory standards for automobiles are
met, uncontrolled CO emissions will be ten
times as high and HC over twenty times as high
for the motorcycle. Based on these predictions,
EPA is preparing to propose emission stan-
dards for new motorcycles sold in the United
States.

Since promulgation April 6, 1973, the National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollu-
tants (NESHAP) program, in particular Part
61.22(4} (demolition procedures), has been en-
forced by EPA regional offices. Revisions have
now been made to include renovation projects
under this section also. The regulations are
much more capable of being enforced on the
state and/or local level. Procedures followed in
sample collection are standardized and
described and, if need be, can be offered as
evidence of the 'regular course' followed by
EPA in generating any given record.

There are many isolated communities and

lagoon with its ability to handle overloads and
its simplicity of operation is attractive for
remote installations. Late in 1967 the Alaska Air
Command and the Alaska Water laboratory en-
tered into an agreement to costrtict and operate
a research field facility that included an aerated
lagoon pilot plant at Eielson Air Force Base. 22
miles southeast of Fairbanks in Interior Alaska.
Most of the information in this report has been
obtained from the Eielson lagoon.

because of the use of heavy metals such as
chromium and copper in some of the dyeing
and finishing operations. These metals can be
toxic in certain concentrations and forms. The
various dyes and organic chemicals used were
also considered for potential hazard. The
potentially hazardous wastes destined for land
disposal include dye and chemical containers
with residuals and wastewater treatment
sludges. The amount of sludges is expected to
increase as effluent guidelines limitations are
implemented.

The major purpose of the work described in this
report was to use diffusion modeling
techniques to calculate the impact on ambient
air quality of SO2 emissions from the ASARCO
copper smelter in Tacoma. Washington for the
existing smelter configuration (51-percent con-
stant emissions control) and for 20 alternative
smelter configurations with varying degrees of
constant emissions control. The accuracy of
the modeling techniques was established by
the close correspondence obtained between
calculated and observed short-term ground-
level SO2 concentrations for 20 selected histor-
ical cases, when high hourly SO2 concentra-
tions were measured in the area surrounding
the smelter, as well as by the close agreement
between calculated and observed annual
average concentrations for 1972. The results of
the model calculations show that the maximum
allowable constant SO2 emission rate con-
sistent with maintaining the Washington De-
partment of Ecology (DOE) and Puget Sound

quality standards ranges from 2000 to 2500
pounds per hour, depending on the source

The report is a comprehensive review of
hazardous waste generation and management
practices within the petroleum refining indus-
try. Nearly 625.000 metric tons (dry weight) of
wastes were generated in 1974 by 247 refineries
with a processing capacity of 14.2 million bar-
rels per day. Waste streams emanating from in-
dividual refining process sources are charac-
terized and described in detail. Following site
visits and waste stream sampling at a represen-
tative group of sixteen refineries, a laboratory
program of chemical analysis was carried out to
identify potentially hazardous constituents of
refinery wastes. Concentration levels of these
constituents were measured, and hazardous
wastes defined as those with any constituent
with a concentration exceeding the average
level in the natural soil environment. Oil is the
principal hazardous substance in refinery
wastes, representing approximately 110,000
metric tons per year. Metal constituents amount
to 250 metric tons, fluoride to 812 metric tons,
and phenol, cyanide, and benz-A-pyrene col-
lectively to 6 metric tons. More than half of
refinery wastes are removed by private contrac-
tors to ultimate disposal in offsite landfills or
lagoons, however projections indicate a dra-
matic shift toward onsite disposal, particularly
by landspreading and landfilling. Also an-
ticipated is considerable waste reduction
resulting from increased recycling, material
reclamation, and product recovery. Some of the
specific topics covered include: Characteriza-
tion of the petroleum refining industry; The
analytical program--(Criteria for identification
of potentially hazardous wastes. Analytical
methods and quality control procedures);
Waste characterization; Treatment and
disposal technologies; and Treatment and
disposal costs.

Resource recovery, namely the recapture and
reutilization of material and energy products
from municipal solid wastes, can be accom-
plished in two ways. Recovered resources can
be segregated at the source (e.g. the home) and
separately collected, or they can be separated
out of the waste stream by means of high-
technology mechanical processing systems.
The Office of Solid Waste Management Pro-
grams recommends both these approaches,
but this report concerns itself only with the
latter.

tailored to fit the particular application and
needs of the local sponsor, within legal and
equitable bounds. It is recognized that every
state and local government must operate with
unique traditional and legal procurement
procedures and, for this reason, the informa-
tion, in this guide is advisory. Each government
must design its own best procurement ap-
proach. Primary emphasis in this guide is on
defining and explaining a competitive negotia-
tion approach to procurement. This approach
offers flexibility and is appropriately used to
procure not only equipment and facilities, but
also a 'system designer', whether a consulting
engineer or a design and construct contractor.
Two topics are treated in some detail: (a)
managing the procurement process, i.e.,
procedures' for soliciting and evaluating
proposals; and (b) preparing the Request for
Proposals (RFP).

The recent emergence of techniques for con-
verting mixed municipal waste into marketable
products has given municipal and regional offi-
cials a variety of new options for solving their
solid waste management problems. Although
these resource recovery systems cannot be ex-
pected to operate at a profit, they are becoming
increasingly competitive with the cost of sanita-
ry landfilling in many areas of the country. In
addition, although they will not allow a commu-
nity to close down its landfill, the life of the
landfill can be extended tremendously by the
weight and volume reductions achieved. The
purpose of this technology review is to acquaint
the reader with the available and emerging
technology options for processing of mixed
municipal waste for resource recovery.

the course of the reviews, EPA has emphasized
the need for a thorough evaluation of the en-

Reactor Safety Study is a comprehensive study
of reactor safety and is the first such study to
use a systems analysis approach in order to
quantify the risks of reactor accidents in terms
of probabilities and consequences, where
historical and empirical data are inadequate.
Since there are presently 53 LWRs licensed to
operate and 188 more under construction,
proposed or planned, it is imperative that the
Reactor Safety Study be reviewed in depth and
as impartially as possible so that the validity of
the study's methodology and results can be

The study included sampling and analysis of
waters from nine municipal water treatment
plants in the state of Iowa to determine the effi-
ciency of radium-226 removal in a variety of
treatment processes and to provide cost data
for these processes. Supplies with a high natu-
rally occurring radium content over 5 pCi/l in
Jordan and Dakota sandstone formation well
waters were selected and included four dif-
ferent treatment processes: reverse osmosis,
iron removal filtration, sodium ion exchange,
and lime-soda ash softening. Analyses were
performed to determine radium, hardness, and
other parameters on the well water and
removals of these parameters through the treat-
ment process. Radium-226 removals through
the reverse osmosis, sodium ion exchange, and
lime-soda ash softening plants were in the
range of 95% removal. Radium removals in the
iron removal plants ranged from 12 to 38%.

function of both the quality of treatment and the
cost of treatment. Although the actual quality
and cost of treatment cannot be known until
after a plant is in operation, estimates of both

In June, 1969, a survey was made of each of the
88 water supplies in the six-county Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area of Kansas City.
Eighty of these are classified as community
supplies and eight as special supplies. The
major dependable sources of water serving the
study area are the Missouri and Kansas Rivers
and the 'shallow wells' in the alluvium of the
flood plain of these two rivers. Extensive treat-
ment facilities are necessary to produce safe
and quality water for the consuming public.
Also, it is essential that those in charge and the
operators be trained and qualified. A survey of
the system is reported. The survey included the
collection of samples for bacteriological.
chemical, radiological, and pesticide analyses.

Studies were carried out to evaluate ingestion
doses to individuals and the local population
resulting from the operation of the Nuclear Fuel
Services (NFS) reprocessing plant in West Val-
ley. N.Y. These studies involved evaluations of
radionuclide intakes from ingestion of fish,
deer, and locally grown food items and in-
cluded surveys of fishing and deer hunting in
the vicinity of the plant. The maximum dose
commitment to an individual from the fish
pathway during 1974 was estimated to have
been 1.4 millirem whole body and 7 millirem
bone. The maximum whole-body dose commit-
ment to an individual from ingestion of venison
from deer kills in 1970 was estimated to have
been 1.4 millirem. Dose estimates for the local
population from the fish and deer pathways in-
dicated that the integrated whole-body popula-
tion dose commitments from each of these
pathways was about 0.1 man-rem per year.
Measurements of radionuclide concentrations
in locally grown food items indicated that the
operation of the NFS plant had not resulted in
any measurable increase In the radionuclide in-
takes of the population living in the vicinity of
plant from the pathway.

An environmental residuals technique was
developed to quantitatively evaluate the en-
vironmental implications of Project Indepen-
dence. Three models are discussed that com-
pare the regional impacts of different scenarios
of energy development: a Residual Allocation
Model to predict the quantity and distribution of
15 energy-associated pollutant loadings, a
Water Use Model to assess the compatibility of
water available and water required for pro-
jected energy use. and an Air Quality Model to
compare the impacts of the scenarios on am-
bient air quality. The approach is useful for
scenario comparison, but is limited in degree of
detail and absolute accuracy. It is concluded
that the level of control technology achieved is
more critical environmentally than the choice of
scenarios. Further work should include a
refinement and extension of the residuals stu-
died and a more detailed sensitivity analysis,
especially with respect to control technology
and facility siting assumptions.

these other components are not considered to
be part of the proposed action under review.
The effects of these other components on water
quality and the likelihood of their being
financed is analyzed in this EIS in order to pro-
vide a context for evaluating the significance of
the water quality improvements expected from
the three tunnel systems.

This report constitutes an Inflationary Impact
Statement on sulfur oxide regulations prepared
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
correct deficiencies in the Ohio State Imple-
mentation Plan pertaining to air pollution
abatement by industries, including the electric
utility industry. The evaluation of the economic
impact of the final version of the regulations
has been compared to impacts under the
proposed (November, 1975) regulations. This
comparison reflects the cost savings and
reduction of economic impact achieved in the
final regulations as a consequence of EPA ef-
forts. The impacts of the final regulation can
also be viewed as a comparison to the status
quo since all cost and economic impacts are
shown in relation to the 1973 and 1974 fuel use
and compliance status.

In the past, the expense and inconvenience of
the available methods for measuring the
general organic content of water using ac-
tivated carbon adsorption and solvent extrac-
tion prevented many water treatment plant
operators from measuring this important
parameter in their finished water. The purpose
of this investigation was to provide the water-
works industry with a convenient, reliable
procedure for measuring organics in water by
this technique. Field testing of the procedure
has demonstrated that it meets the basic objec-
tives originally set forth and should be attrac-
tive to water plant operators. Sampling various
types of waters showed that this technique can
determine extract concentrations within about
a ten-fold range in organic content between
clean water and surface water heavily in-
fluenced by upstream discharges of wastes.
This paper describes in detail the variables in-
vestigated during the development of this
method.

The Administrator of the Environmental Protec-

Group on July 5, 1974, to develop guidance to
reduce unnecessary radiation exposures from
the use of x rays in the healing arts in Federal
health care facilities. The consensus of this
group was that it is desirable and possible to
reduce exposure from diagnostic uses of x rays
by: (1) eliminating clinically unproductive ex-
aminations, (2) assuring the use- of optimal
technic when examinations are performed, and
(3) requiring appropriate equipment to be used.
As a result of this consensus a Subcommittee
was formed to examine the use of equipment
and technic to perform medical and dental x-
ray examinations and to make recommenda-
tions for guidance to assure that diagnostic
quality radiographs are produced with minimal
patient exposure. The recommendations made
herein are believed to be basic to assuring that
these considerations are met in Federal health
care facilities.

The report attempts to develop an alternative

Basin. In the development of this scheme, the
Basin is viewed as a product of the interaction
between physical, chemical, biological, and
human systems. Much emphasis is placed on
the requirements for management of overflow
swamp areas, which form the most productive
biological resource of the Basin. Most essential
to this type of environment is an annual influx
of water from the adjacent stream channels
through pverbank flooding, unimpeded move-
ment of inflowing water through the swamp.
and drainage from the lower end. The major
threat to the overflow swamp environment is
the present influx of sediment, insufficient
overbank flooding, and insufficient interior cir-
culation.

serving an estimated population of 327,000.
Twenty-seven communities, population 15,000
were using water sources containing natural

the 276 reported public water supplies in the
state, 91 (33 percent) were fluoridating or using
one or more water sources containing natural
fluorides within the recommended range.
Recommendations are offered regarding:
promotion of fluoridation of all public water
supplies in the state; maintaining fluoride ion
content within recommended limits;.enforce-
ment of state fluoride standards; requirements
for fluoride ion analyses; development of
specific regulations for the installation of
fluoridation equipment; promulgation of regu-

The state of knowledge on emissions from mu-

mendations for needed work. The results of an
experimental study of gaseous emissions,
refuse, quench water, and residual ash from
four municipal incinerators in the New York
City metropolitan area are described. The tabu-
lated data indicate that municipal incinerator
gaseous effluent is significantly richer in inor-
ganics such as hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid,
and sulfur dioxide than in organics such as
hydrocarbons, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones,
esters, and organic acids. Control of these
emissions is needed to eliminate corrosion.
Limitations control of these emissions in the
general literature suggest the need for supple-
mentary and new studies. Specific research
areas are recommended. An annotated bibliog-
raphy of books, reports, periodical references,
and other miscellaneous publications is ap-
pended.

This manual is a guide for air quality program
planners responsible for the design and imple-
mentation of episode avoidance actions. An
episode is defined as the occurrence of stag-
nant air masses during which air pollutants ac-
cumulate, so that the population is exposed to
higher-than-normal concentrations of the con-
taminants. The planning steps necessary to
forestall the adverse effects of air pollution
episodes are described. The manual is divided
into three main parts, dealing with (1) emergen-
cy action plans, (2) problem definition, and (3)
technical discussion. It covers both simple and
more advanced technological procedures.

At the request of local officials, a survey of the
air pollution situation in Birmingham and Jef-
ferson County, Alabama, was made by the Com-
munity Air Pollution Program of the Public
Health Service. The scope of the survey was
limited to collection and review of existing per-
tinent data, interviews with local officials, and
the personal observations of two investigators.
General factors affecting air pollution included
population, general character of industry and
employment, land use, topographical features,
and meteorological factors. Sources of pollu-
tion were fuel use, industrial activities, and
refuse disposal. Substantial air pollution was
found, and a county-wide control program,
more effective legislation, adequate personnel,
and facilities were recommended.

Benefits attributable to low-flow regulation
from the Allegheny Reservoir are estimated and
discussed. Tangible benefits are those which
are capable of economic evaluation. Intangible
benefits are those not capable of economic
evaluation, such as recreation, public health,
and aesthetic improvements. The Allegheny
and Ohio Rivers are used to supply water both
for municipal and industrial consumption. Low
flow augmentation will reduce the hardness
and acidity and water temperatures resulting in
more efficient water use by industry. The
decrease in hardness and acidity will reduce
the corrosion damage to navigation interests
and will reduce the costs of sewage treatment
for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Intangible
benefits to public water supplies result primari-
ly from the maintenance of more uniform water.
Augmentation will also help to mitigate taste
and odor problems and enhance the Allegheny
River for recreational uses.

Two computer programs were developed for
the design of ammonia stripping towers: (1) a
design program for counter current twoers and
(2) a design for cross-flow towers. The pro-
grams determine the dimensions of the tower
required for given operating conditions, evalu-
ate investment and operating costs of the
process, and provide information on pH
requirements, and the exit temperature on the
waste water so that freezing conditions can be
predicted. Particle, splash, and film packings
can be evaluated for countercurrent towers,
and splash packing for cross-flow towers. In the
case of counter-current towers, the program
finds the liquid and gas flow rates which yield a
minimum total annual cost. The design equa-
tions are in general form, with parameters read
in by the program, so that experimental data
can readily be used as it is accumulated.

The specific aims of the research are to define
the inter-relationships among heat and mass
transfer and the collection of participates and
fluid properties, flow rates, system geometry,
particle properties, etc. for the following
systems: (1) contact with liquid drops under cir-

the drops; (2) contact with liquid in the form of
froth; and (3) contact with wetted surfaces in
geometries which provide strong secondary
flow patterns in the gas. It was found that both
transport rates and paniculate collection might
be increased considerably by employing a
scrubber especially designed to promote the
mechanism of drop oscillation. All of the
research is based on thesis investigations on:
(1) liquid drops with internal circulation; (2) baf-

organisms selected as the primary indicator of
biological water quality. Fish and algae were
also given consideration when observed.
Downstream from Northumberland, the river on
both sides was found to be physiologically well
suited to support many kinds of bottom
dwelling organisms and did not exhibit any
gross biological degradation. Localized impair-
ment to biological quality was observed as a
result of the deleterious effects of mine
drainage, coal fines, and organic wastes con-
tributed by certain tributaries. Unpolluted

A primary operation in the transformation of
iron ore to steel is the production of pig iron in
blast furnaces, which emit enormous quantities
of gases that have fuel value but which also
produce suspended solids in liquid wastes.
These suspended solids are the principal pollu-
tion source. Dry cleaning of blast furnaces in all
stages eliminates wash water use and is the
most effective remedial measure, although in-
volves complicated operation. The remedial
measure usually employed is the removal of the
more readily settleable material from the gas
wash water in sedimentation tanks providing 40
to 120 minutes detention. Material removed in
the settling units is dewatered and sintered.
then recharged to the furnace, providing a
definite economic gain. Operation of furnaces
under top pressure, within certain limits of blast
volume, reduces gas velocities in the furnaces
and consequently dust production.

An extreme example of the problems of
disposal of poultry manure is found in Orange
County, California, where many egg ranches
are engulfed in cities or developed areas. The
main environmental problems created are the
production of flies, odors, feathers, and dust.
Conditions, at the manure stockpile can vary
from intensive fly breeding in wet manure to ex-
cessive dustiness from dry manure. Considera-
tion is given to composting the waste material.

placed on investigations related to pollution
caused by uranium milling operations. Con-
siderable engineering field work was devoted to
this problem, and field activities were expanded
to fill the requirements of the water quality
management program and to examine existing
nonradiological problem areas. These activities
are described in detail. Salinity then became
the most significant problem with respect to
water quality of the Basin. At this point the pro-
ject is estimated to be 35 percent completed. A

Colorado River Basin Project on Water Quality
Control. The scope has been changed from trie
development of a comprehensive program to
investigation of the critical and pressing in-
terstate pollution problems which may exist
now or in the future in the Basin. Salinity con-
tinues to be the major pollution problem. A sur-
veillance program with respect to radiological
pollution is being carried forward. These pro-
grams are detailed in activities reports. A pesti-
cide investigation has been undertaken to
gather information on existing concentrations
and loadings of selected pesticides in the lower
main stream. The significance of the findings
are to be assessed with respect to municipal
water use and effects on aquatic life. A limited
number of herbicide analyses is included in the
investigation. Future plans and organization
are set forth.

The performance of two corona reactors, falling

for their efficiency in oxidizing a ferrous sulfate
solution in the presence of moist air. The falling
film type was found to be superior and addi-
tional studies were conducted to characterize
those process variables which affected reactor
performance. From the data, a linear least
squares regression equation was derived, giv-
ing an approximation of the underlying rela-
tionships. The falling film type was also evalu-
ated for its ability to oxidize aqueous solutions
of benzoic acid, alkyl benzene sulfonate, fil-
tered secondary effluents, and effluents from a
carbon adsorption column. The easily oxidized
ferrous ion reacted with corona activated spe-
cies which did not strongly attack the organic
materials.

nificance; . (2) to determine, in the light of
stream uses, the physical, chemical, and
biological effects and rates of recovery from ef-
fects of industrial wastes in the receiving
waters; (3) to develop and improve analytical
methods, techniques, and equipment for study-
ing industrial wastes and their effects on receiv-
ing waters: and (4) to evaluate control methods
and undertake miscellaneous activities. Coor-
dinated efforts are required to achieve these
goals. Data on pollution effects and stream
recovery are gathered from literature reviews,
research laboratory activities, stream surveys,
analytical methods, bioassay techniques, and
population enumeration methods. Specific
areas in which the Technical Task Committee
on Industrial Wastes can contribute are out-
lined.

In this study waste heat from the steam-electric
generating plants using fossil fuel was as-
sessed and the cost for treating the waste heat
was estimated. Major waste heat-producing in-
dustries are: fossil fuel (oil, gas and coal), and
nuclear power generating plants, steel mills,
petroleum refineries, chemical plants, pulp and
paper mills and distilleries. An increase in
stream temperature reduces its waste assimila-
tion capacity. Excessive increases or reduc-
tions in ambient water temperatures by other
than climatological causes can be defined as
thermal pollution. Thermal pollution from
steam-electric generating plants is caused by
the heat rejected from waste steam to cooling
water that is discharged to the stream. The ef-
fects of thermal pollution are detailed. Power
generation and trends in power generation are
presented. Quantities of heat wasted are
discussed. Methods for controlling thermal pol-
lution are discussed.

streams in the South Platte River Basin in
Colorado are described. The prime purpose of
this report is to focus attention on known
sources of pollution which affect legitimate and
beneficial water uses, including the aesthetic
environment of the streams. The findings, con-
clusions, and recommendations are based on
detailed engineering studies. The immediate
needs identified have to do with municipal
waste sources, industrial waste sources, out-
falls as sources of pollution, and cattle feedlots.
Institutional practices are discussed, along with
the cost of immediate pollution control and
abatement, and recent progress. A bibliography
is included.

proposes to provide a stream where no river
previously existed, and to make available an
adequate supply of good water where there has
been only small, intermittent flows. The project
affects areas of Montana. North Dakota. South

December 1976
Field studies were conducted on two municipal
incinerators with capacities of 50 tons and 250
tons per day in evaluating combustion air ef-
fects on atmospheric emissions from municipal
incinerators. Separate tests were made at
several different levels of underfire combustion
air over as wide a range as operating conditions
would permit. Solid paniculate samples were
collected under each test condition for com-
parison purposes. The results of these field
tests show that 50 percent underfire and 50 per-
cent overfire air approaches an ideal distribu-
tion, which keeps the paniculate emissions well
below the loadings which result when using a
much higher percentage of underfire air. The
following gaseous pollutants were measured
for each furnace: Oxides of nitrogen, formal-
dehyde, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Two schematic diagrams are included.

Factors that play a role in sewage Chlorination
were examined in a preliminary report. It was
found that: (1) control of oxidation appears as a
vital factor in conditioning sewage for Chlorina-
tion;^) amino acids increase chlorine demand
drastically and interfere seriously with chlorine
disinfection; (3) moderate aeration with sewage
bacteria sharply reduces the interference of
amino acids with Chlorination; (4) septic
sewage is characterized by a very high chlorine
demand; and (5) the orthotolidine test for
residual chlorine appeared as a satisfactory test
for estimating the chlorine requirement for ac-
ceptable disinfection of Hyde Park sewage.

This study was directed at determining factors
important in sewage Chlorination. It was found
that: (1) controlled bio-oxidation looms as a key
to effective Chlorination; (2) additional observa-
tions confirmed the generally marked increase
in chlorine demand and interference with disin-
fection by amino acids; (3) efficiency of aera-
tion is dependent on microbial activity; (4)
cystine, cysteine, and uric acid have high-
chlorine demands, but cause little or no inter-
ference with chlorine disinfection; (5)
subchlorination disinfection was observed, but
was regarded as a minor factor; (6) a
dechlorinating activated sludge system was a
means of drastically reducing the high toxicity
of chlorinated sewage effluent to fish; and (7)
low temperature markedly retards chlorine dis-
infection.

Acceptable water quality standards are
discussed with relation to mixing areas and
thermal pollution. Mixing, not a substitute for
water treatment, should be accomplished
quickly to ensure waste is mixed with the al-
located dilution water in the smallest possible
area. Water quality standards must be met at
the border of the mixing area. Discharge of
heated water must be controlled since heat is a
pollutant. Guidelines on thermal pollution con-
trol, temperature effects on dissolved oxygen,
and fishery composition studies are described
with respect to aquatic life criteria.

Fish management practices often require
elimination of an undesireable fish population
from a body of water to enable restocking with
fry or fingerlings of a suitable species. The
deliberate addition of a fish toxicant to a water
supply source requires careful appraisal of its
effect on water quality and safety. The practice
demands consideration of toxicity of active
agents to humans, other mammals, and fish; ef-
fects of fish poison formulation; tastes and
odors produced by the components of the for-
mulation; and effects on water quality which
may result from decomposing fish. Rotenone.

mended that development of new techniques in
separating polluting substances from water be
undertaken. Of particular interest are develop-
ments in modified absorption, chromatog-
raphy, foam fractionation, freezing, direct sol-
vent extraction and ion exchange.

Sutton Reservoir and Summersville Reservoir

Kanawha River in West Virginia with considera-
ble benefit to pollution abatement, water
supply, river water temperature reduction
(beneficial in summer months), and to some ex-
tent, to sewage treatment in the Cincinnati-
Co vington Pool on the Ohio River. Maintenance
of a given rate of flow is used in design rather
than adding the amount of augmentation to the
natural flows. A high degree of waste treatment
or a large reduction in waste load added to the
Kanawha is necessary even with the highest
rates of low flow augmentation. Secondary
treatment of municipal wastes and equivalent
reduction of organic industrial waste loads
were found to be necessary if the minimum
water quality objectives of the West- Virginia
State Water Commission were to be met.

The chemical, biological and physical studies
dealing with the deep water areas of Lake On-
tario are summarized. The lake environmental
parameters include hydrology, climate, geolo-
gy, and physical and chemical sediments. The
biology represents the overall effect on the en-
vironment of a series of chemical and physical
systems existing in the lake, and include
benthic fauna, phytoplankton, diatoms,
chlorophyll, cladophora. and fish. The
microbiological study investigates the parame-
ters of total coliform and total plate counts.
Chemical studies consist of measuring
nitrogen, phosphorous, hydrogen-ion concen-
tration (pH). and oxygen, which are constantly
changing in the lake. A discussion of physical
characteristics includes water circulation,
winds, temperatures, currents, littoral drift, bot-
tom currents and the Rochester Embayment.

Water quality problems in the Lower American
River due to nutrient'enrichment of surface
waters by treated waste effluents are expected
to become important during low-flow years
starting in 1975. The operation of the Bureau of
Reclamation's Auburn-Folsom South Unit as
presently proposed is not expected to signifi-
cantly influence these water quality conditions.
Regulation of the flow of the Lower American
River by altering the proposed method of
operation of this unit could postpone the onset
of such problems. Such action would be of tem-
porary value, however, and the least costly
long-term solution would require control of
Lower American River water quality by diver-
sion of future incremental waste flows to the
Sacremento River and reuse of existing treated
waste flows for parkland irrigation.

Causes of tastes and odors that have frequently
been reported in water supplies taken from the
Montana stretch of the Yellowstone River in au-
tumn were investigated in field studies con-
cerned mainly with the river stretch from Laurel
to Giendive, Montana. Sampling was con-
ducted at eight locations along this section of
the main stem and in the lower reaches of three
tributaries. Data are reported for pollution
discharges, chemical features, and biological
features, including bottom organisms, algae.
and plankton. Entrance of organic pollution
was chemically detectable but nowhere did it
greatly impair domestic water quality at the
times of this investigation. A large role in abate-
ment of pollution effects must be ascribed to
life processes of benthic and plankton algae,
since their influences upon stream chemistry
were quite marked.

Water samples were collected once each week
during the 1967 water year from four small
watersheds representing three different soil as-
sociations in a rural area. Three stations on two
streams were selected to coincide with U.S.G.S.
gaging stations. These streams received mu-
nicipal and industrial wastes as well as rural ru-
noff. Flow data were obtained during the period
of study so watershed runoff could be deter-
mined. Loading was determined from nutrient
concentrations and flow data. The following
determinations were made: air temperature,
water temperature, conductivity, field pH,
laboratory pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorides,
nitrate nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, soluble
phosphorus, and total phosphorus. From July
21 to September 29, 1967, additional samples
were collected every two weeks and analyzed
for pesticides. Average concentrations of
nitrate nitrogen and soluble phosphorus for the
year were higher than those required to stimu-
late nuisance algal blooms in reservoirs. Pesti-
cide concentration in runoff water was negligi-
ble. Statistical tables, charts, and a bibliog-

Primary treatment is indicated at four other
communities where stream flows are adequate.
Improvements are needed at eight facilities. In-

The solid waste handling system of Johnson
City, Tennessee, is found to be clean but over-
equipped and sometimes uneconomical.
Findings of this study suggest that: (1) collec-
tion routes be more carefully controlled: (2) a
new system of handling bulk containers be in-
augurated; (3) direct haul to the disposal site
replace a portion of the transfer operations:
and (4) twice-weekly collection replace con-
tainer spraying for fly control. Changes are sug-
gested in the ordinances covering solid waste
handling, including further regulation of
hospital waste handling and landfill operations.
The detailed analysis of the nature of the solid
wastes was made primarily to aid research at

Qualitative Determination for Degree of
Decomposition of Compost by the Starch-
Iodine Method,
Preliminary rept.
Richard D. Lossin. 1969.15p
Descriptors: Waste processing, 'Compost.
Chemical tests, Bacteriology, 'Sewage treat-
ment. Stabilization.
This is a preliminary report on the starch iodine
method for determining the degree of decom-
position in municipal wastes, or compost. All
refuse contains starch which must be degraded
before refuse becomes a microbiologically sta-
ble product. Testing for its presence will in-
dicate whether or not the compost has stabil-
ized. The test is based on the formation of the
iodine-starch complex in an acidic extract of
compost and has the following advantages: It is
rapid and easily performed, it is specific for
starch and the equipment is very simple. This is
only a qualitative spot test designed to show
relative change. After checking satisfactory and
unsatisfactory compost with this test, finished
compost always gives a characteristic color
reaction (yellow); unfinished compost will not.
The reliability of the testing procedure can be
checked by taking several different samples
from the same compost pile and performing the
same test on all of them.

The history of the devleopment of a pollution
index on the basis of zoomicrobial contents of
surface waters is reviewed. Various methods
proposed for determining the biological index
of pollution were based on changes in rnicrobi-
al composition of waters in a self-purification
process after discharge of raw sewage; they are
unsuitable for measuring the levels of pollution
by effluents from waste treatment plants
because the microbial population changes in
receiving waters are quantitative rather than
qualitative. Since clean or remotely polluted
waters predominantly contain algae with a
steady increase in protozoa-nematode content
with pollution, a ZPI and its formula are
presented that has been successful in judging
the desirability of the waste treatment.

The basic concept of the solid waste prediction
model developed in this project is: The waste
generated by a community is derived primarily
from the goods and materials consumed by the
community, therefore waste quantities and
characteristics can be estimated from informa-
tion concerning the consumption habits of the
community and the manner in which it uses and
consumes the material obtained. The study
consists primarily of determing the availability
of usable information and developing a prelimi-
nary prediction model for residential household
solid wastes. The model's performance was
tested by comparing its predictions for a given
locality with the results of an actual study of
solid waste generation in that locality. The
areas studied were in Jefferson County, Ken-
tucky.

equation, is superior to the dispersed flow
model, and does not suffer from the short-

The effects of an emulsified rotenone prepara-
tion (Chem Fish Regular) on water treatment
and water quality were investigated. Use of this
material is planned for fish eradication in the
Dickinson Reservoir, the sole source of water
for Dickinson. North Dakota. Experiments in-
dicate that rotenone can be removed or detox-
ified and odor problems controlled by using ac-
tive carbon. Odor due to decomposed fish can
be controlled with moderate chlorine dosages.
The effects of the rotenone treatment should be
naturally dissipated within a weeks. It appears
feasible to produce a potable water from one
treated with such a rotenone preparation. The
worst difficulties are attributable to the
hydrocarbon solvents used in the preparation.

wastes; occasional spills of oil, chemicals,
grains, etc., resulting from accidents; and re-
lated activities such as servicing and cleaning
equipment. Main problem areas are docks and
marinas where boats are serviced and large
numbers of watercraft congregate. Pollution
problems can be improved by requiring instal-
lation of sewage treatment devices on all boats
having toilet facilities and installation of
onshore facilities for handling waste stored on
watercraft.

thereby improve the quality of water for
downstream water uses. The method found to
be most feasible to accomplish this objective is
the construction of a reservoir downstream
from Paradox Valley to contain the brine
discharges. Benefits for the reduction of TDS
have not been calculated but appear to be in
excess of the construction cost. A bibliography
and maps are included.

evaporation, phreatophytes, and desalination.
Each of these areas is explored separately with
their own bibliographies included. Evaporation
is discussed in terms of the importance of
evaporation losses, types of control, area
reduction, mechanical covers, surface films,
the history of films, and U. S. evaporation con-
trol studies. Past and present interest in
phreatophytes and their use of water is
discussed in some detail. It is concluded that
the future of saline water conversion in provid-
ing high'quality will be limited to the area of
water treatment, and is not likely to be used as a
salinity control procedure for maintaining in-
stream water quality.

drinking and culinary purposes is examin'ad in
this study. It includes a limited survey of private
domestic wells in the area and considers the
possible contamination of wells supplying the
city of Brighton. It is concluded that a portion of
the shallow ground water aquifer in the area
between Derby and Henderson is con-
taminated, and that wastes dishcarged from the
Rocky Mountain Arsenal from 1943-1955 are
the principal source of such contamination.

Of the chemical parameters considered in a
study of the chemical water quality of Lake
Michigan, Ammonia Nitrogen. Phosphate, Sil-
ica, Phenol and Dissolved Oxygen were found
to be significant with respect to the differences
encountered. Deepwater studies provided little
or no evidence of water quality deterioration.
Some water quality deterioration in areas ad-
jacent to populated sectors of the lake was
found. Milwaukee Harbor was found to be most
degraded with respect to chemical quality of
the water. It is felt that the probable effects of
returning Chicago's sewage effluents to the
lake may be obtained by observing the Milwau-
kee Harbor results. Among these expected ef-
fects would be an accelerated increase in
nitrogen and phosphate levels.

In this study of currents in Lake Michigan, the
variations in physical characteristics, tempera-
ture and density, of water within the lake is
determined, and the water movement patterns
over a period of time are measured. From con-
siderations of cause and effect, a theoretical
basis for generalizing the observed conditions
is developed. This information is to be used to
assist in predicting the fate of pollutants in-
troduced into the lake and to assess the effects
of waste inputs on lake water quality.

Three types of automatic recording current me-

Lake Michigan. The Woods Hole meter was
selected because of the established per-
formance record of its internal components,
type of data collected and lower costs. The test
data were examined to determine the reliability
and sensitivity of meters for measuring both
speed and direction. The median values for
speed and direction were examined for random
fluctuations and the 95 percent confidence
limits indicate the instruments had a sufficient
degree of precision. The data tabulated for May
to July 1962, show that under certain conditions
an effluent could move, at low speed with rela-
tively little mixing, for over four days.

The use of floats or drogues in the shallow
waters of Lake Michigan provides detailed in-
formation of water movements and dispersion.
Under the conditions found during the study
period an effluent discharged into the lake
would not disperse rapidly after its initial dilu-
tion with the lake water. Based on the drogue
studies it appears that a water mass could not
be expected to have a dilution ratio much
greater than 1.2 over a period of several hours.
If these conditions are nearly typical of the
average dispersion rate then an effluent could
remain, during calm periods, at its initial state
of dilution with lake water for many days.

Studies of currents using current meters at
fixed locations on Lake Michigan during the

cludes data on the ranges of current speed and
direction with respect to time and depth, and
relates these generally to wind movements
recorded simultaneously at the U.S. Weather
Bureau Station at Midway Airport, Chicago. It is
demonstrated that under varied conditions
water will tend to move in a particular direction
for prolonged periods of time. Present studies
indicate that a particular direction of flow may
be maintained for up to six days and perhaps
longer. Under such conditions, and introduced
effluent could move en masse for a long period
of time and be transported many miles. Calm
periods, exceeding a day or more with little or
no flow, could occur at any time of the year.

coprecipitated with a large amount of barium
sulfate. Barium-radium sulfate is decomposed
by forming with phosphoric acid, and the
resulting glassy melt is dissolved by evapora-
tion with dilute hydrochloric acid to form solu-
ble barium-radium phosphates and chlorides.
After aging, radon is removed by aeration and
counted. The amount of Ra 226 is calculated
from the observed counting rate and the period
of ingrowth for Radon 222.

Phosphate deposits from phosphate fertilizer
plants are considered to be a potential low-
grade uranium ore: therefore, the uranium con-
centration in the phosphate-bearing formations
is much higher than the natural abundance for
ill rocks. All phosphate-ore formations are
older than one million years, and since uranium
is considered to be syngenetic, radium is ex-
pected to be present in equilibrium amounts
with the uranium. High radium concentrations
have been found in both the finished fertilizer
and the waste waters in ponds adjacent to the
plants. Disposal of liquid wastes directly to the
environment may be an immediate hazard and
leaching of solid-waste spoil piles may be a
long-term supply of radium pollution.

The purpose of this investigation was to obtain
data to: (1) determine the oxygen relationships
in the stream before and during ice coverage;
(2) determine the rate of of oxygen depletion in
the stream during ice coverage; (3) determine
the suitability of relatively unpolluted streams
for dilution purposes; and (4) determine the
characteristics and quantities of the various
wastes entering the river. It was found that the
rate and extent of oxygen utilization by industri-
al wastes depends upon several variable fac-
tors, including the nature of the waste, tem-
perature, extent of dilution, and the type of dilu-
tion water.

Granular and powdered activated carbons are
receiving increasing attention as a means for
removing dissolved BOD and COD from mu-
nicipal wastewater. Pilot plants utilizing both
materials for removing organic materials from
secondary effluent are described. Interest is
now high in the use of activated carbon as a
substitute for the activated sludge process. In-
dications are that the cost of powdered carbon
adsorption processes will be very close to that
of granular carbon. Powdered carbon plants
will probably entail a smaller initial investment
and may have application where the need for
carbon is sporadic.

Pollution of the 67-mile reach of the North

December 1960. Sources were determined to
be partially treated sewage from a sugar and an
oil processing plant, municipal wastes, and
agriculatural wastes. The combined pollution
from all sources severely damages the potential
fishery of this water, destroys the aesthetic ap-
peal of the stream, renders the water unsuitable
as a source of supply for domestic and many in-
dustrial uses.

personnel recommended a twofold effort to
identify specific water pollution problems and
to provide a basis for an abatement program.
The recommendations were: (1) establishment
of a detailed mine drainage source investiga-
tion to locate and quantify all coal mine
drainage discharges; and (2) establishment of a
county-wide network of stream water quality
sampling stations for long-term monitoring.
The gross pollution of Raccoon Creek and
many of its tributaries was found due to coal
mine drainage. Actions are recommended as a
sequential approach for an abatement pro-
gram, including making a priority listing, feasi-
bility studies, water quality characterization,
engineering plans, and construction.

discharges are swallowed up in the tidal

dominated by the tide. Wastes discharged near
Washington remain in the vicinity for some

and a vast supply of nutrient material are pro-

For more than 25 years water quality of the
Lower Columbia River has been adversely af-
fected by abundant slime growths which
flourish periodically. Materials contained in
wastes from seven pulp and paper mills supply
the nutrients for slime growth. Commencal
fishermen's nets become coated with slime;
fibers in the slime become entangled in the
knots of the nets, making slime removal ex-
tremely difficult. Sport fishing and other forms
of water-contact recreation have also been ad-
versely affected by the slime gorwths/A waste
control and treatment program for pulp and
paper wastes discharged to the Columbia River
is reasonable and attainable.

Colorado River below the confluence of the
Gila River. Bacteriological densities, 'n excess
of desirable limits, are caused by discharge of
raw sewage from Yuma, Arizona. Storage of
water in the Senator Wash Project for mineral
quality control is not recommended until salt
discharges have been controlled. Reduction of
flows in the Colorado River would also increase
the problems associated with sludge discharge.

Industrial plant location is evaluated in the Kan-

ments for water quality can vary from those
standards more rigid than drinking water to
toleration of water quality approaching sewage.
Industrial wastes in this area were similar to
domestic wastes handled by conventional
means in municipal plants. The two methods
used for industrial water evaluation include one
based on the value of water delivered to the
plant intake, the other on the value of the water
to dilute the remaining waste to drinking water
standards after all available treating methods
have been completed.

Potential recreation benefits that may accrue to
the region from various alternative rates of im-
provement of the waters of the Delaware River
were examined, defined, and measured. The
area of immediate concern includes 11 coun-
ties on both sides of the river. While a number
of factors were identified as they affect the four
recreational activities under consideration
(swimming, boating, fishing, and picknicking),
only a few were found to be relatively important.
These are income, leisure time, proximity of
facilities, and age. Each of these were projected
and the resulting changes were related to the
extent of participation in the recreation activi-
ties. An increase in rate of participation was
projected.

and bacteriological quality of the Lower Bear
River and its tributaries as well as with the
discharge of wastes into the Bear River that af-
fect water quality. The discharge of untreated
and partially treated industrial and domestic
wastes was found to be largely responsible for
the high bacterial content of the river water at
most of the sampling stations. High salt content
was also found near Corinne, making the water
unsuitable for most domestic and industrial
purposes.

This paper is concerned with the treatment of
poultry wastes after the customary screening in
flowaway systems and prior to discharge to a
municipal sewer. The term 'pretreatment' will
be used to cover all physical, chemical, or
biological treatment provided for this purpose.
The majority of poultry plants discharge to mu-
nicipal sewers. A study shows that pretreatment
at the poultry plant will eliminate the overload.
The decision whether to pretreat or to go along
with the municipal plant expansion program
depends upon the relative annual cost of the
two alternatives to the poultry plant operator.
For example, suppose that excessive
discharges of grease, feathers, or suspended
matter are causing special problems in operat-
ing primary clarifiers and anaerobic sludge
digestion at the municipal plant. The first step
for correction of such problems is waste con-
servation at the poultry plant and attention to
the flowaway system. The report makes recom-
mendations and discusses corrective mea-
sures.

The report gives results of research to develop
quantitative models for relating emissions of air
pollutants to their effects on people, and to use
the methodology for determining the relative
importance of air pollution sources. The quan-
titative methodology for ranking the sources
developed in this project includes considera-
tion of the dispersion of air pollutants, expo-
sure of people, and subsequent health effects.
The computer model, called POPEX, consists of
three submodels: dispersion, population, and
health effects. The model was applied to
sources of air pollution in the Chicago Air
Quality Control Region. Results show that 17 of
227 categories of sources contribute nearly
80% of the total air-pollution/population-effect
problem. (Portions of this document are not

grouped by relevant parameters such as en-
vironmental component monitored, frequency
of collection, number and location of samples
taken, chemicals monitored and means of
monitoring; (2) Effectiveness of NPMP System -
The available data were assessed with respect
to drawing statistical inferences on trends in
national pesticide residue levels, and data
limitation problems identified; (3) Survey State
Monitoring Activities - The emphasis of this
task was on the determination of data availabili-
ty to augment a national system; and
(4)Recommendations - This task considered
implications of project findings with respect to
policy options available to Government for im-
proving pesticide monitoring capability.

The report gives results of an EPA-sponsored
study in Los Angeles area to determine two ob-
jectives: (1) the contribution of 3- to 7-ton GVW
vehicles to air pollution, and (2) the feasibility of
using light-duty vehicle emission test
procedures in future surveillance and com-
pliance programs for 3- to 7-ton GVW vehicles.
Mean baseline emission levels for the 50 vehi-
cles tested were: HC, 6.87 g/m; CO. 84.83 g/mi;
CO2, 746.1 g/mi; NOx, 7.37 g/mi; and evapora-
tive HC emissions. 2.43 g/mi. (Portions of this

would most adequately be served by a 15 MGD

mended is aerobic digestion, concentration by
centrifugation followed by composting,
agronomic land spreading and/or landfilling of
the processed sludge. Discharge of the treated
effluent will be to Clear Creek. Constructing a
new sewage treatment plant at the Dillman

based on the assumption that the deadlines and

Three groups of dairy cows were fed the three
types of contaminated forage. One other group
of dairy cows was exposed directly to the
aerosol for an air uptake study. The smaller par-
ticle size of the aerosol used in this study (2
micrometers) resulted in higher milk-to-forage

Project Rainout was an experiment conducted
to determine the transfer of 1311 from forage to
dairy cow rrtilk when the radioiodine was
sprayed on the forage as an aqueous solution.
Growing alfalfa, cut as green chop, and spread
hay were used as forage. The peak activity in
milk from cows consuming both types of forage
occurred about one day after the start of feed-
ing. The peak milk-to-peak forage ratio was
0013 for the cows fed hay and 0.041 for the
cows fed green chop. The hay fed cows
secreted in milk an average of 4.5% of the
amount of 1311 they ingested, while the green
chop fed cows secreted 6.1 %. (Author)

by portable and fixed radiac instruments in
Nevada and Utah. The maximum concentration
of 1311 in milk was 63 pCi/1 at the Martin Ranch
southwest of Eureka, Nevada. No fresh fission
products were found in water samples. In addi-
tion to the usual gaseous effluent from a reac-

the release of discrete particles of material that
were found downwind as far as 80 miles from
Test Cell 'C'. Only one particle was found
beyond the Test Range Complex.

for nuclear testing programs in the United
States. It is designed to produce comprehen-

ble. This is accomplished through use of air-
craft and mobile ground monitoring temas that
can make radiation measurements and collect a
variety of environmental samples, followed by
specially designed laboratory analytical
procedures and data processing to expedite
data acquisition. The system can thereby pro-
vide rapid assessment of radioactive releases
that may affect a large segment of the popula-

Six bovine, three young animals and three aged

Project Rollercoaster sites were sacrificed in
April 1967 to assess the body burden of 239 Pu
in these animals. Levels found in various tis-
sues were higher than those found in bovine
grazing on the NTS but far below the MPC
levels established for humans. The maximum
dose an individual could receive from consum-
ing tissue from these animals is negligible. No
pathology was found on either gross or micro-
scopic examination that could be directly re-
lated to radiation. Due to the obscure etiology
of the described lesions, it would be impossible
to reach any definte conclusions as to their
orign; but it would appear to be due to some
other cause than radiation, since the body bur-
den of 239 Pu was well below those levels
known to induce detectable radiation damage.
No statisical difference was found in the levels
of 239 Pu between the young and aged animals.

After contamination, the bales were collected

The ratio of peak 1311 concentration in milk to

From 1959 through 1969. thirty-one nuclear
reactor engine tests, conducted at the Nuclear
Rocket Development Station (NRDS) as part of
Project Rover, released airborne radioactivity
which was detected in the area surrounding the
Test Range Complex (NRDS, Nevada Test Site.
Tonopah Test Range, and Nellis Air Force
Range). For these tests the Southwestern
Radiological Health Laboratory (SWRHL) per-
formed radiological monitoring and sampling.
From the radiation exposure information re-
ported by SWRHL, whole-body gamma expo-
sures and infant thyroid doses were postulated
for hypothetical receptors and summarized by
year and sector from NRDS. A comparison of
the Radiation Protection Standards of AEC
Manual Chapter 0524 with this summary in-
dicated that for each year of testing, the off-site
whole-body exposures and infant thyroid doses
were below 12% and 14%. respectively, of the
Radiation Protection Standards for a popula-

Gamma exposures from a few mR to approxi-

fission products in the environment, are more
easily and accurately measured by the TLD
system. The insensitivity of TLD's to environ-

Heat damage to the film was seasonal with the

During the period January through June 1969,
eleven announced nuclear detonations were
conducted at the Atomic Energy Commission's
Nevada Test Site. None of these events released
radioactive material that was detected off-site.
One power run of a nuclear reactor rocket en-
gine at the Nuclear Rocket Development Sta-
tion on June 11, 1969, released gaseous fission
products that were detected on one air sampler
at the Diablo Highway Maintenance Station on
Highway 25. The concentration of 1311, deter-
mined from the combined results of the particu-
late and charcoal-filters from this location, was
0.7 pCi/cu m. Some radioactive material from
Project Schooner of December 8, 1968. was
resuspended from material deposited on and
off-site. This material was occasionally found
on air samples through March 1969. No
domestic water or milk samples collected dur-
ing this period contained fresh fission
products. Exposure to the off-site population
during this period was well below the safety
criteria established by the Atomic Energy Com-
mission. (Author)

neling operations within 50 miles were also
located. The collection of environmental sam-
ples to establish background levels of radioac-

milk and water samples were collected. Vegeta-
tion samples for background information were
collected in early December 1967. Milk and
water samples were collected following the
shot and the drill-back operations to find if
radiation levels had increased.

the purpose of characterizing the liquid and
solid wastes resulting from uranium milling
processes. The five mills reported on here typify
the processes normally encountered, i.e., acid
or alkaline leaching of the ore, concentration
and purification of the leach liquor by ion
exchange or solvent extraction, and chemical
precipitation of the dissolved uranium.
Although the radioactive waste materials, espe-

these studies, useful information regarding the
chemical characteristics of milling wastes was
also obtained.
