...other cities cited by the EPA were Springfield, Mass.; Indianapolis; Camden and Trenton, N.J.; Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo; El Paso, Austin and Waco, Corpus Christi, Houston-Galveston, San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth. These areas, although somewhat cleaner, would be subject to similar measures...
...addition to dealing with auto emissions, the clean air legislation of 1970 specified that each state devise its own scheme for controlling stationary pollution sources. By last spring, however, environmentalists had spotted a gaping loophole. Polluters could simply move their plants to states with cleaner air-provided their emissions stayed under federal limits for air pollutants...

As a result, Kerwin said, "it takes forever to dry both one's self and the wall ... even using that inadequate little vacuum cleaner that we've got." Skylab's toilet, in contrast, worked very efficiently. In fact, recalling the messy urine tubes and collection bags of earlier flights, Space Rookie Weitz said: "As a new boy hearing horror stories from the old hands, I was deliriously happy and surprised at the [toilet...

Each of the companies asked for more time-at least one year-to produce cleaner cars...
Given one more year to refine and modify the reciprocating engine, Riccardo insists, Chrysler could probably meet the California standards without using catalytic converters. Thus, he contends, the U.S. could achieve cleaner air without substantial increases in the price of cars and without sacrificing fuel economy; the plan would also make unnecessary the mass purchases of platinum and palladium, and construction of new refining facilities. Furthermore, one more year's production of cars with emissions that have already been significantly reduced would not noticeably degrade air quality. Sensible as Riccardo's proposal sounds, however, changing the provisions...
