PERSONAL MONITORING IS A RELATIVELY NEW CONCEPT in community air pollution measurement research (1-3). This fact is not surprising because most air pollution investigations have been directed toward the characterization of the ambient atmosphere, the observation of pollutant trends, the acquisition of data on chemical kinetic parameters and on the physical properties of aerosols, and the determination of compliance to national and other standards (4). Before the late 1970s, research on personal monitors was primarily conducted in industrial settings (5, 6) because American Confer-... 

Before anyone In the scientific community (and especially In this book) becomes over-inflated with self-righteousness, let me eiq)haslze that we, as Individuals and as a profession, are far from faultless or free from legitimate criticism with respect to our responsibilities. Certainly more menders of the scientific community — and chemists In particular — should have recognized at an earlier date the hazards of Industrial pollution or the unlimited application of certain pesticides to the numerous environments in which we live and work and play. 

These limits are intended for use in the practice of industrial hygiene as guidelines or recommendations in the control of potential health hazards and for no other use, e.g., in the evaluation or control of community air pollution nuisances in estimating the toxic potential of continuous, uninterrupted exposures or other extended work periods as proof or disproof of an existing disease or physical condition or adoption by countries whose working conditions differ from those in the United States of America and where substances and processes differ. These limits are not fine lines between safe and dangerous concentration nor are they a relative index of toxicity. They should not be used by anyone untrained in the discipiine industrial hygiene. 

Industrial pollution was fought in local battles between the manufacturers and the landowners and urban communities affected, but it was not firmly placed on the national agenda in Britain until the 1860s. The first public investigation into industrial air pollution (as distinct from smoke pollution) was carried out in 1862. River pollution was the subject of an influential petition to parliament in 1864 and public concern with the spread of this enormous evil was met by a series of Royal Commission inquiries into river pollution between 1865 and...

Today, the scientific community can identify tiny trace amounts of chemicals in the environment. A quarter-century after Wallace Carothers introduced science-based industrial research to the United States, Clair Patterson adapted techniques developed for determining the age of the Earth to identify microtraces of global pollutants. Today scientists can analyze industrial contaminants in the parts per billion in 1991 when a university scientist discovered in the atmosphere a harmful, low-level contaminant produced by the manufacture of nylon, industry volunteered within weeks to change production methods. 

The communities include in particular bacteria, lower aquatic plants (algae), higher aquatic plants, organisms fish feed on (e.g. water flea, amphipods etc.) and fish. They participate in the self purification of waters (reduction of residual pollution from effluent discharges like industrial drainage) and maintain the natural biological equilibrium.
