Letters Continued from page 4 give me, but next time try to state your case clearly and unemotionally. Do you really mean to suggest that we should have spoken up in support of dumping of chemical wastes in leaky barrels, pollution of water and air by unregulated emissions, excessive use of toxic pesticides, and use of potentially dangerous food additives? On the contrary, we chemists and chemical engineers, uniquely qualified to know better, have stood silently by while the chemical industry has helped to create a nationwide environmental mess. Rain with a pH of 4, increase of atomic chlorine in the stratosphere, concentrations of hundreds of parts per million of chlorinated insecticides in the flesh of raptors—these conditions threaten our own comfort and the very lives of our children. It is utterly irrational to hold the hope that present practices will be tolerated in the future, let alone to wish that we could return to the bad old dirty days! Yet it is hardly reasonable to expect the chemical industry to start policing itself, nor will patchwork local controls be adequate when problems are regional or even national in scope. Only the federal government can provide nationwide uniform standards, even-handed and vigilant monitoring, and funds for adequate research and development programs to help solve our problems. (It is up to us to see that it is done!) Our faith in private enterprise is great, But in the area of environmental pollution, reason tells us that Uncle Sam is going to have to shoulder the responsibility and foot the bill. M. Jerome Bigelow Pocatello, Idaho
