Extract

Attention is now focused upon problems confronting our Nation in the area of environmental pollution. There is a close correlation between industrial and agricultural expansion and increases in population over the last few decades. There is also a pronounced association between increases in population and the magnitude of pollution problems. As an example, there is some concern about environmental pollution associated with power production which is rapidly expanding to meet the demands for electricity of an increasing population and industrial complex. Power production expansion is occurring largely in areas which already have high population densities.
