EPA plans ways to reduce acid rain causes
Senate stops Kennedy bill

Coal-burning power plants may soon be using a new
pollution control system developed by the Environmen
tal Protection Agency that reduces the amount of sulfur
oxide and other gases thought to cause acid rain by 70
percent and is less expensive than other removal systems,
said Debby Janes, a public affairs spokeswoman for the
EPA branch in the Research Triangle Park.
The Limestone Injection-Multistaged Burner (LIMB)
program is the result of a series of studies on sulfur oxide
and other gases suspected to contribute greatly to the
formation of acid rain, she said. The gases are released
in huge quantities from older coal-burning plants.
The system is a much sought-after solution to the
older plants' pollution problems, Janes said.
"In this system, the coal burner in the plant goes
through a series of staged combustions, which make the
coal burn more completely and release fewer gases. Then
the limestone is injected into the process. The burner's
heat changes the limestone into lime, which absorbs the
refuse gases."
Other removal systems also utilize limestone as well,
although these devices, called scrubbers, can remove
gases only from the plants' exhaust, she said.
One of the greatest advantages of using the LIMP
system is cost savings.
"Scrubbers are usually expensive for old coal-burning
plants, because they have to rearrange everything.
However, the LIMB program can be added to their
burners for a much smaller cost," Janes said. The
operating costs of the LIMB system is up to 80 percent
less expensive than scrubbers, she said.
The EPA will receive about $10 million in funding for
the development of the LIMB system and other acid rain
studies in its laboratories nationwide. Many industries
have contested earlier EPA research about acid rain, and
the Reagan administration has called for more studies on
acid rain and its effects.
One of the studies involves tracing sulfur oxide and
other gases from plants to see how far they travel and if
they react with other gases to form acid rain, said Fran
cis Pooler, one of the scientists working on this study.
One tracer experiment was conducted last September.
"We injected an inert gas into the refuse of a plant in
the Eastern Midwest and took samples of the air to see
how far the gas had spread. The study revealed that the
gas traveled about 1 ,000 kilometers, the equivalent of
about 600 miles," Pooler said. Many other factors could
have played a part in the results of the study, such as
waste from other plants mingling with the traced gas, he
said. The EPA plans to make other tracing studies and
lake chemical measurements of emissions to see if sulfur
oxide combines with other gases in the air, he said.
"Right now we're in the stepping stone process of the
studies," Pooler said. "We have to get definite answers
to the what, when and why questions before we can
come up with solutions."
One part of the EPA study of acid rain that seems to
be getting less attention is the study of how sulfur oxide
deposits that fall to ground react with the soil, said
Thomas Ellestead, a scientist in the Aerosol Research
Branch of the EPA.
"The trouble with studying the controls and effects of
dry deposition is that it is hard to detect. Original studies
that attempted to measure the deposits were totally
meaningless," he said. The current system for measuring
dry deposits is more efficient and can take measurements
for 1-7 day periods at a time, said Ellestead. The
measuring device is composed of several tubes of non
reactive Teflon that extract gases from downdrafts.
Although the study is complicated, it is greatly need
ed, he said.
"Some people say that the amount of dry deposition
is up to seven times more than wet (such as gases). Cur
rently, we are studying the most important pollutants,
such as sulfur oxide and others, to assess the problem,
then learn to control it."

From Associated Press Reports
WASHINGTON Prtfsfdent
Reagan's $61 million military aid
package for El Salvador survived a
crucial test Tuesday as the Senate re
jected a move to withhold 15 percent
of the funds until the Salvadoran
government obtains a verdict in the
1981 murder of two U.S. labor ad
visers. The proposed amendment by Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., was
rejected 69-24, his second defeat in
two days on the issue of Salvadoran
aid. On Monday, the Senate rejected
63-25 his bid to slash the aid to $21
million.
Sen. Robert Kasten, R-Wis., chair
man of the appropriations subcom
mittee that oversees foreign aid, said,
"Any effort to withhold aid today is
simply a vote against the level that we
have a greed to."
Smith to remain
WASHINGTON William
French Smith will continue to serve as
attorney general until a successor is
News In Brief
confirmed, White House spokesman
Larry Speakes said Tuesday.
President Reagan had asked Smith
to stay on as attorney general during
Senate confirmation hearings for
White House counselor Edwin Meese
III, whom Reagan has nominated to
replace Smith. Smith has been anxious
to return to his California law prac
tice, as well as to take an active role in
the president's re-election campaign. "
Death sentences studied
A white man who kills another
white man is more likely to get a death
sentence than a black man who kills
another black man, according to re
cent studies of death sentences in
North Carolina.
Samuel Gross, a Stanford Universi
ty law professor, says his research in
dicates the victim's race has more to
do with capital sentences than the race
of the murderer.
For the record
In Tuesday's edition of the DTH, we
incorrectly reported that Greg Hecht sug
gested to the CGC Finance Committee
that they may have overallocated some
campus organizations which received,
funding earlier in the year. Hecht did not
, make the statement. The DTH regrets the
error.
