Description
In this book, a prominent meteorologist describes what causes pollution and examines some possible paths to improvement. The author shows how the air becomes a dumping ground, filled with particles of smoke from automobiles, forest fires, and jet airplanes, and from soils, cosmic dusts, and volcanoes. He weighs the price of pollution —how raw materials, plants, animals and men, and nature’s beauty have suffered from the “unclean air,” and concludes with an examination of what has been and can yet be done to improve this worsening situation.
