THE ROAD TO CLEANER AIR
THE FOLLOWING METHODS ARE DISCUSSED TO CUT DOWN ON AIR POLLUTION ARISING FROM TRANSPORTATION: (1) CONTROL ENGINES IN MOTOR VEHICLES, (2) DEVELOP CLEAN FUELS AND BURN THEM COMPLETELY, AND (3) DEVELOP MORE EFFICIENT METHODS OF MOVING PEOPLE AND GOODS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. THE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD IN NEW YORK STATE, PROHIBITS OPEN BURNING ON A STATEWIDE BASIS. IN SOME CONGESTED AREAS IT HAS BEEN FOUND DESIRABLE TO USE THE AIR SPACE ABOVE HIGHWAYS. THIS PRESENTS PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PEOPLE USING THIS AIR SPACE. STEAM-POWERED CARS ARE RECOMMENDED BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ALMOST NOISELESS AND HAVE RELATIVELY COMPLETE COMBUSTION, THEREFORE, RELATIVELY LOW EMISSIONS OF AIR CONTAMINANTS.
