Mercury Pollution

Following Mr. Kiechel's speech will be a
lecture at 3 p.m. by Dexter Hinkley, Associate
Professor of Environmental Science, who will
lecture on the "Ecological Aspects of Mercury
Pollution."

Mr. Kiechel has been concerned with legal
aspects of pollution problems since the
mid-1950s, when he assumed duties with the
land and natural resources division of the U.S.
Department of Justice. The mercury
controversy is the most recent in a line of
pollution investigations his division has been
involved in.

Mr. Hinkley, who joined the faculty last fall,
has had more than a decade of research
experience in Hawaii and the South Pacific. He
has written 24 research papers dealing with
various ecological problems.
