Cost Estimates On Environment Clean-Up Issued
The Council on Environmental Quality projects a decade long environmental clean-up cost of 274.2 billion dollars from 1972 to 1981 with 121.3 billion for water pollution, 41.8 billion for solid wastes, and 105.6 billion for air pollution. It notes improved national air quality in 1971 and warns of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide potentially driving a greenhouse effect. By 1976 antipollution costs would burden a 13,500 dollar income family by about 1.8 percent, or roughly 250 dollars.
