Global Effects of Environmental Pollution A Symposium Organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science Held in Dallas, Texas, December 1968

The Symposium on the Global Effects of Environmental Pollution has performed an important task; it has helped to determine the world-wide impact of certain types of local pollution and has uncovered certain unsuspected effects that might hold dan­ gerous implications for the future. This Symposium s...
