Description
Gabe Pressman hosts. Dr. Leonard Greenberg, commissioner of Air Pollution Control, answers questions. Panelists: Martin Birmingham, Robert Feinberg, Douglas Kreiger. Questions: The function of the Department of Air Pollution Control is to keep track of all air pollution levels. Inspectors look for smoke and fly ash, then make reports. If fuel is properly burned, you don't have waste. Waste of fuel in public transportation. A recommendation to change from diesel to propane fuel for buses. Air pollution coming in from New Jersey. Smog poisoning. Comparison between NYC's air quality and that of other cities: "we don't have anything like the intensity of the problem in Los Angeles."
