University Programs in Air Pollution Control: Review and Outlook

Abstract

From the inception of the National Air Pollution Control program, the U. S. Congress has been mindful of the need and importance of adequate manpower. The challenging technical problems which lie ahead in enforcement, monitoring, testing and research can be effectively dealt with only by individuals with specialized knowledge, skills and experience.

A recently completed survey of college level air pollution training in the United States and Canada is included in the report
