These scrubbers clean the ex hausts from smoke stacks and re move oxides before they can escape into the air. However, he said, a drawback to the EPA solution is that large amounts of chemical waste are produced by the scrubbers and dis posal of the waste may be a problem. Heck, a one-time Texas A&M University professor, said too many people in the United States and the world do not understand the prob lems of air pollution. Pollution is a subtle problem that has no regional boundaries, he said. Because people are used to living with pollution throughout the nation, they do not realize the damage it does until it is too late, he said. Heck added the Europeans are also concerned with the problem of air pollution, but are more in terested with monitoring pollution effects rather than determining its causes. %gie selected editor if political forum paper Save $ 100 MCS Series* receiver, 2 speakers.
