New York City's polluted air costs about 520 million dollars annually, per Arthur J. Benline, city air pollution chief, with national losses at 11 billion or more. Health officials testified at a city council hearing on pollution controls noting effects on buildings, fabrics, crops, and costs to households and businesses. Benline blamed New Jersey emissions for 20 to 30 percent of city pollution and disputed claims that Jersey is the main source. He and Health Commissioner Dr. George James emphasized ongoing efforts amid cross state blame and complex federal action delays.
