University of Virginia Library

Charlottesville Pollution

At 8 Thursday night there will be a showing
of color slides depicting examples of pollution
in the Charlottesville area. The 80 slides,
compiled by three architecture students, will be
shown in Room 4A of Newcomb Hall. Several
of the slides show the University's boiler
factory and its effects upon a nearby stream
and on the atmosphere.

The program was first presented in February
to the Governor's Council on the Environment,
at which time the public was allowed to air its
views on the pollution problem. Since then the
program has been presented to various clubs
and civic organizations throughout the
Charlottesville area.

Steve Bingler, one of the three architecture
students who compiled the slides, is a
Charlottesville resident who spent much of his
youth around many of the streams shown in
the presentation.
