ROBERT G. LUNCHE, Assistant Director of Engineering, NORMAN R. SHAFFER, Intermediate Air Pollution Engineer, LA County Air Pollution Control District, Los Angeles, Calif. rom the time that a person begins his technical training he is taught that an engineering or scientific problem cannot be solved intelligently until the problem is defined. Unfortunately, this philosophy is not always followed in air pollution control work. Too many times, consulting engineers, plant superintendents, plant managers, equipment suppliers, and control officers apply a control device which has proved successful on one installation to another type basic equipment that they believe may be similar, without taking the necessary time and effort to determine the degree of similarity.. In such cases, a little information proves to be most harmful.Because of necessity, the Los Angeles County Air Pollution Control District has had to promulgate the most stringent regulations possible for sources of air contaminants as soon as sound technical and economically feasible controls have become known. With few exceptions, industrial sources have been controlled during the past ten years. Rules and regulations have been promulgated against participate matter, dusts and fumes, sulfur dioxide, combustion contaminants, storage of petroleum products, open fires, single chamber incinerators, oil-effluent water separators, gasoline loading, burning of fuel oil, and orchard heaters. At the present time there is in the making a rule which would establish maximum limits for the olefinic content of gasoline. The control program will not be completed until control is achieved for the three major remaining sources of air pollution—the automobile exhaust, the evaporation of organic liquids, and the combustion of fuels. Before standards were established in the rules adopted by the APCD, considerable information had to be
