An Update on College and University Programs in Air Pollution Control

Abstract

A survey of academic programs in air pollution control was made. Results from the 127 schools reporting are tabulated by state. Faculty involved in air pollution instruction are identified. Some conclusions and recommendations are presented. This paper outlines the results of a recent survey which attempted to document who is carrying out academic air pollution control training. A questionnaire directed at faculty associated with these programs was published in the June 1981 issue of JAPCA. This was followed by letters to all non-responding schools who had reported programs in previous studies. 2 A letter with an abbreviated set of questions was sent as a follow-up to these initial requests for .information. Of the 127 schools responding, 62 answered the detailed questionnaire. A breakdown of the 127 schools indicates: 104 four-year or graduate programs, 12 community college programs,. and 10 programs outside the U.S. The complete listing of schools is given in Appendix I.

The Journal Turns 50

“…The first attempt to look at international programs was published in 1983. 4 The Journal's early support of this work helped spur development of a range of publications currently available through the A&WMA Bookstore.…”
