Emphysema Is Fastest Growing Cause Os Death

LAFAYETTE — Are you aware that emphysema is the fastest growing cause of death in the United States today? One ol the leading causes of this disease is air pollution. Air pollution is no longer only a concern of large metropolitan areas. Small towns are also experiencing obnoxious odors as well as various forms of fall-out. Source of most air pollutants is the automobile, says John A. Wott. Purdue University extension home environment horticulturist. In fact, national averages show that 60 per cent of the air pollutants are derived from automobile exhausts. In major cities, it may run even as high as 80 per cent. “Most effective way to control air pollution,’* explains Wott, “is at the source... that is. reducing the amount of pollutants from automobiles To further combat this pollution, experts have suggested that green belts of trees and shrubs be placed along highways to remove various pollutants, both gaseous and solid particles “It’s a known fact that trees, shrubs, vines and turf remove a vast array of harmful impurities from the air we must breathe,’’ Wott declares "It is also known that plants can only tolerate certain levels of pollutants, so it is apparent that plants are a .secondary measure." “We learn in elementary school.*’ the horticulturist continues. "that human beings and animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide Plants in contrast absorb the carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis and give off oxygen to the atmosphere Thus, man and plants must depend on each other for life-giving materials.*' Another suggestion has been to widen right-of-way along highway systems so greater numbers of plants can be grown This would increase the amount of enriched air in proportion to the amount of contaminated air being given off by highway traffic An acceptable ration of one part contaminated air to 3.000 parts of enriched air has been •suggested. Today, the air along many highways may have a ration of 1: 1.000. "Plants may also clean air by allowing pollutant particles to precipitate out on their leaves, stems and branches," Wott notes "Many plants have fine hairs or pubescence on their parts which tend to trap dust and other particles Also, moisture on the leaves may trap dust particles These particles are usually washed away by rams or heavy sprinklings." "This same trapping effect can be useful in removing ragweed pollen and other allergy irritants from the air.” the specialist says. "Studies have revested that 110 yards inside a dense, coniferous forest more than 80 per cent of the pollen is removed from the air” Some plants may be used for the pleasing odors which they emit. Plants whicn produce fragrant blooms, such as the honeysuckles, mock orange. Korean spice bush and phlox maymask obnoxious odors. However, this is only true if one is within a few feet of the plant. the automobile is not the only cause of air pollution. Industry has also been a culprit much of this century. Sulfur dioxide is an important pollutant, particularly in heavily industrialized areas. Plants too may be used to combat this pollutant. “In a study of Douglas fir," Wott reports, “it was calculated that a tree with a trunk diameter of IS inches has the potential of removing over 40 pounds of SO2 per year at a concentration of just below the plant injury level. If the sulfur dioxide level goes higher, the plants may be injured. but they can tolerate the lower levels for long periods of time." "For every ton erf SO2 pumped into the air annually. 100 trees would be needed to absorb this much sulfur dioxide,” says W’ott. "These trees would not eliminate the SO2. but might reduce it significantly. Thus, the significance of vegetation as a potential secondary filter is apparent. But first, primary

i pollutant controls must be in- ■ stituted to keep the pollution levels below those which will render the vegetation useless.” \ f ; Cardinal Workshop Clients Enjoy ’ *The Boyfriend’ The Waw<»see Arts Foundation was host to 36 Cardinal Industrial Workshop clients and chaperones for a performance of “The ( Boyfriend" at the Enchanted Hills Playhouse.
