Tuesday, September ?2. 1981The Paity Tar Heel'3 itate raises siw TCDollmtioini limiitg By TAMARA DAVIS 1)1 II Staff WriltT The North Carolina Environment Management Commission recently raised state air pollution limits on soot and smoke concentration from 60 micrograms of pollutants per cubic meter in ambient air to 75 micrograms of pollutants per cubic meter. "In 1980, several measuring stations across the state went from below 60 micro grams to way over," said Dr. Russell Hageman of the Division of Environmen tal Management. "We think that the in crease may been caused by last year's se vere drought.' According to Hageman, the amount of pollutants and dust particles in the ambi ent air, the atmosphere closest to earth, is measured by air-sampling monitors throughout the state. The Commission runs a sample for a 24-hour period every 1L six days. Nearly 55 values are taken during the year. The annual average is formu lated from these values. "The federal ambient air quality stan dard is bi-level," Hageman said. "First, the primary standard allows 75 micro grams of pollutants in the air in order to protect people's health. The secondary level (60 micrograms per cubic meter) protects property and non-health items. We simply upped ourselves to the primary level." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not oppose the state increase. North Carolina was previously the only state that had not accepted the primary ambient air quality standard. "The EPA sets standards to protect the people's health and welfare," said Atlanta EPA spokesman Walter Bishop. "North Carolina is just making the state standard consistent with federal standard." Some concern was indicated about the affect of the increase on the amount of soot and smoke emitted by large in dustries in North Carolina. "The emis sion standard sets for the emission limit for industries. The ambient air quality standard allows no industry to increase emission," Hageman said. ' However, if the problem continues to grow, we will have to move upward the trigger level that will cause industries to control emis sion of soot and smoke even more than they are now." Hageman feels that no significant rise in air pollution will occur over the state. "The most effected areas will be those of great economic activity," he said. A 1977 state law prohibits North Caro lina from having stricter standards than the federal government. . Hubert S. Liang r Chmesej0urmilisl sett speak Hubert S. Liang, a Chinese journa . list, is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday in 104 Howell on United States-China relations. " The talk is sponsored by the Office of International Programs, the School of journalism and the North Carolina China Council. Liang, 79, has had a long and in teresting career, said Dr. Larry Kestler, director of International Programs. "He is really a part of two societies." Liang was raised in China and went to Christian missionary schools there. He did his undergraduate studies in engineering and journalism in the United States Liang worked on the Detroit News in the mid-1920s. . "His lifetime has spanned major political upheavals of modern China," Kestler said. In the 1930s and 1940s, Liang went on "goodwill missions" to the United States from China, and has been involved with nationalistic and revolutionary movements since the 1920s. "He has a wealth of experi ences to talk about.". Since 1949, Liang has been a pro fessor of journalism in Shanghai and Nanking, He was a visiting professor in the school of journalism at the Uni versity of Missouri in 1980, and at the University of Maine last spring. If anyone is interested in talking with Liang, or in learning more about him, Kestler may be contacted at the Office of International Programs.

"However, if the student is walking in public with a beer in his hand, he is subjecting himself to close scrutiny by the police." "It is ironic that I could be drunk and have an open beer in my hand in public and as long as I did not create a disturbance, I would not be committing a crime," she said.
