A Pollution Control report says U S industry may spend billions this year on pollution control, a 37 percent rise to just over 2 billion, yet the amount seems tiny next to the pollution ocean. South Carolina shows 706.2 million in new or expanded plants last year, with only 29.2 million in pollution control since 1950.
