Areas in state
are polluted
Is there really any air pollu
tion in South Carolina? The of
ficial answer to this question
came from the Pollution Con
trol Authority, a branch of the
State Board of Health, which
answered the questions below.
In three more sets of weekly
questions following this one, the
Authority will answer: “What
is being done about the air pol
lution in South Carolina now?“
“Will we have more or less pol
lution in South Carolina in the
future?” and “What will be
done about air pollution in the
future?”
1. Do we have any air pollu
tion in South Carolina today?
A. Yes.
2. Where is it?
A. In North Charleston, Spar
tanburg County, Greenville, Col
umbia-West Columbia A great
deal of pollution is created on
land being cleared when trees
and stumps are burned. Much
of this is in progress across
South Carolina constantly.
3. What kinds of pollution do
we have in these areas?
A. North Charleston is a veri
table smorgasbord of pollutants
including chemical plants, paper
mills, and metal processing
plants. In other S. C. cities and
counties the burning of fuels by
power plants, by homes, and by
automobiles creates most of the
air pollution. There is also gar
bage burning in many commun
ities.
4. Who measures this pollu
tion?
A. The Air Pollution Control
Staff of the Pollution Control
Authority of the S. C. State
Board of Health in Columbia.
5. How many people work on
the Control Staff? What do they
do?
A. Two engineers, four chem
ists, two engineering technicians
and a director, total of eight.
These men collect air samples
across the State, bring them to
the Board of Health laborator
ies and analyze pollution found
in the samples. They examine
all the plans for new factories,
power plants, etc. to make sure
they will have the necessary
pollution prevention devices.
They go into counties suspect
ed of polluting the air and make
surveys of factories, power
plants, business areas, residen
tial areas, etc.
6. What kind of instruments
and equipment do they use?
A. They have scientific equip
ment to analyze samples they
collect including automatic sul
fur dioxide monitors, gas chro
matographs, atomic absorption
spectophotometers, high volume
air filters and others.
7. How do these machines
measure the amount of pollu
tion?
A. Some suck in air and col
lect the pollutants in it for test
ing; some analyze the concen
tration of gaseous substances in
samples; others check amounts
of other harmful materials.
8. How does this amount of
pollution compare with that we
hear so much about in large
northern cities?
A. The State experts measure
pollution this way: seventy-five
micrograms of solid residue per
cubic meter of air is considered
normal. Many South Carolina
communities have air with less
residue: Beaufort, the City of
Charleston, the City of Spartan
burg. North Charleston registers
an average of 200 micrograms
of residue. Columbia and Green
ville register less than 200 but
more than 75. The large north
ern industrial cities (New York,
Chicago) register amounts sim
ilar to that of North Charleston.
9. Is the polluted air in South
Carolina dangerous to people in
areas where it originates? Has
anyone ever become ill because
of the polluted air in these
places?
A. This is not known, but
there is probably some adverse
effect. We have no records of
anyone being made ill, but there
are subtle effects, and many of
them escape detection.
10. What other organizations,
besides the Pollution Control
Authority, if any, check air pol
lution in South Carolina?
A. The Charleston County
Health Department, the Green
ville County Health Department,
The City of Spartanburg and
the City of Columbia.

SQUAD CONCLUDES
DISMAL SEASON
The Newberry College base
ball squad closed the 1970 sea
son Saturday on a dismal note
by dropping a double header to
Elon College on the North Caro
lina school’s home diamond:
8-2 and 5-2.
The double loss gave Coach
Horace Turbeville’s team an
8-18 record.
“We were weak in the pitch
ing department,” Coach Turbe-
ville commented in reviewing
the season. “The squad just
didn’t have the needed depth
to carry us through the 26-game
season.”
