...Ruckelshaus bought only part of that argument. His interim standards for California will indeed necessitate a catalyst on every new 1975-model car sold in that state, but the requirements will be stiffened from present levels in the rest of the country too. By 1975, autos outside California may emit only 1.5 grams of hydrocarbons and 15 grams of carbon monoxide for each mile traveled. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, compared with current pollution levels, these standards will take California two-thirds of the way, and the rest of the country halfway, toward meeting the requirements originally laid down...
...swashbuckling Marcus Darnley, is really, and only, her friend's husband Hector. As Ellie's meddling friend Hesione and her sister Ariadne, two other Matchmaker women--Patricia Falkenhain and Joanne Hamlin respectively--are aptly bewitching, and more convincing than they were as Dolly Levi and Mrs. Molloy. Both emit what Hector calls the "diabolical family fascination," one with "Bohemian," the other with "respectable" playfulness...
...California at Berkeley pointed a radio telescope toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy, the island of stars in which the sun is located. To their great satisfaction, the big electronic ear picked up emissions that could only be given off by ammonia molecules (bombarded by radiation, molecules emit characteristic signals that can be used like fingerprints for identification). For the first time, complete, chemically stable molecules had been found in the swirling clouds of gases that occupy the enormous spaces between the stars...
Obliging Farmer. During the tests, the temperature of a small sample from a bowl or vase is raised to as high as 900°F., reversing the process and allowing the electrons to return to their lower energy level. As this happens, they emit photons of light, which are measured by a photomultiplier. Because pottery fired long ago contains more excited electrons, it will glow more intensely than items recently manufactured from clay with the same amount of radioactivity. Thus, generally, the greater the light, the greater...
...company's legal costs. Today the paper mill has been joined by a clutch of chemical companies and other industries. One chemical company alone dumps 690,000 pounds of sulfuric acid daily into the Savannah River, occasionally causing the water to boil, seethe and emit the malodors of hydrogen sulfide and methane gas. The Savannah has become so polluted that not even hardened beach bums will swim...
