Governor Mandel announced a $450,000 air pollution monitoring network to link eight sampling stations across Maryland with a central receiving station in the Air Quality Division. The setup, expandable to 31 stations, will cover Baltimore area Prince Georges Montgomery Hagerstown and Cumberland with auto and manual stations and six months of Litton Systems operation for training. About two thirds of the cost is funded by the federal government under the 1967 Air Quality Control Act.
