Pasteurizer Purifies
Water For Rural Use
Helping to solve the problem
of polluted water in rural
areas, agricultural engineers at
Penn State University have de
veloped an electric pasteurizer
capable of purifying water
used by an average family of
five persons. This development
was described by Mark D.
Shaw, of the agricultural en
gineering department, during
a Farmstead Water Quality
Improvement Seminar in Co
lumbus, Ohio
Shaw said the new pasteuriz
ing system uses conventional
electric water heaters to heat
and store pasteurized water. A
heat exchanger is used to pre
heat the incoming water and

to cool pasteurized water for
dunking or other uses where
hut water is not needed. A
control system makes certain
that water does not leave the
unit until it has been at the
pasteurizing tempei ature of
145 degrees Fahrenheit for 30
minutes. The process is auto
matic, he added, and elimin
ates the need for careful
maintenance essential in chlor
ination systems.
Work in developing the pas
teurizer commonly used today
was begun in 1961, Shaw point
ed out, when Pennsylvania
health authorities reported
that about half of the individu
al water supplies tested each
year were found to be pollut
ed. Cost of pasteurizing water
for use by two adults and
three children amounted to
less than $3 per month.
Two, conventional 80-gallon
electric water heaters were
more than adequate to heat
and pasteurize all of the wa
ter used indoors by the family
of live persons, including laun
dry, bathing, and toUets Only
water used outdoors for wa
tering the lawn and similar
purposes was not pasteurized
Tested also in a milkhouse, one
50-gwllon heater proved ade
quate where a minimum of
water was used. Both systems
operated sa'.isfactoiily.
Addressing members of the
American Society of Agi {cul
tural Engineers in 13 agencies
and organizations. Piofessor
Shaw said work is undeiway
to have the pasteuiizer manu
factured and placed on the
market.
Air Pollutants Combine
To Cause Crop Damage
Two air pollutants ozone
and sulfur dioxide can com
bine and damage plants before
either pollutant alone would
cause damage.
This finding, by plant phy
siologist H. A. Menser and
plant pathologist H E Hegge
stad, disproves the theory that
the two pollutants act inde
pendently on leaf tissue.
Results of their test, the
scientists say, may explain
some of the air-pollutant dam
age to plants that occurs in the
late spring and early fall when
recorded levels of ozone and
sulfur dioxide alone are not
high enough to cause damage.
Sudfud dioxide is largely a
product of fuel combustion
for power and heating. Con
centrations tend to be highest
in fall, winter and spring.
Ozone is one of a class of air
pollutants called oxidants, or
photo-chemical smog, formed
by the reaction of sunlight on
exhaust from motor vehicles.
Levels of oxidants are gener
ally highest during summer.
Both ozone and sulfur dio
xide damage a wide variety of
vegetable, field, and ornamen
tal plants The pollutants re
duce leaf quality of crops
such as tobacco and spinach,
and cut yield of crops such as
cereal grains, grapes, beans,
and citrus fruit They damage
tree leaves and hinder develop
ment of ornamentals.
Nitrate Poisoning
