trial as alleged leader of anti-government "White Rose"
organization. The government charges he was trying to
pick up Cubans trying to flee the country. Del Pino, a
recent resident of Miami, Fla, still suffers from injuries

Main Sources of Air Pollution Discussed by Saarv 'Engineer
Ted M. Gerow, Grants Pass,
district sanitary engineer
with the state sanitary author
ity, told Medford Lions club
members last week there are
five main sources of air- pol
lution. Gerow discussed the health
and economic aspects of air
pollution, pointing out one of
the major environmental
health problems today is air
pollution.
The five main sources of
air pollution, he said, are
domestic and muncipal, agri
cultural, industrial, transpor
tation, and natural.
Gerow noted that the av
erage man consumes about
16,000 quarts of air each day,
a greater volume than the
daily consumption of food,
water and milk. He pointed
out that the three basic in
gestibles have for years been
subject to purity control un
der standards that have been
established and -supervised by
public health agencies.
Health Aspects
He reviewed ' some of the
health aspects of smog condi
tions, noting that it "is known
that cancer producing agents
exist in the community air
supply our citizens breathe."
He said that air pollution is
not only man-made, but it
also is nature-made.
"The problem," he said, "is
caused by air-borne allergens
of vegetative and related ori
gins. Seasonally, hay-fever
attacks an estimated 1 to 2V2
million Americans. The cost
to the nation in lost working
time from these allergies , is
believed to run into millions
of dollars annually," he add
ed. . Gerow also reviewed some
of the more well-publicized
smog tragedies, including
Meuse valley, Belgium in
1930, Donora, Pa., in 1948,
and London in 1952.
London Smog
The London smog caused
4,000 more deaths than nor
mal, Meuse ' valley 60 deaths
and the Donora smog resulted
in 20 deaths.
"It is important to note."
the sanitary engineer said,
"that air pollution punisies
the senses and sensibilities of
the so-called health citizen.

have, set up a new credit pol

clared during the holiday sea
son in December and January.
Discomfort, psychological re
actions and outright fear -even
terror - have been ex
perienced by many people
who are subjected to no more
than average air pollution."
The major offender in the
domestic and muncipal causes
of air pollution, Gerow said,
appears to be sulphur diox
ide and sulphur compounds
discharged into the atmo
sphere. Space heaters, open
fires and refuse incinerators
are the major source of this
type pollution, he said.
The agricultural industry
contributes to air pollution
through dust resulting from
soil erosion, spraying with
herbicidesi and insecticides
and orchard heating prac
tices. Industry Pollution
The heaviest sources of pol
lution among industries in this
area, he said, results from
burning refuse from the lum
ber industry. The chemical in
dustry is a growing source of
pollution, although it is not
now present in large num
bers. Establishment of such in
dustries in this area may be
only a matter of time, Gerow
said.
The privately owned auto
mobile contributes a major
share to the transportation irw
dustry"s pollution problem,
which chiefly is from exhaust
gases. The most significant
emissions from automobile ex
hausts are carbon monoxide,

suffer from hayfever, asthma
and other allergies.
