PAGE TWO AAA launches fight against air pollution The Wyoming Valley Motor Club is launching an extensive campaign to fight air pollution by motor vehicles. Charles J. Spitale, assistant manager of the motorists’ organization, said the club’s efforts would be “directed toward increasing the understanding and individual involvement of car owners increasing the understanding and individual involvement of car owners toward the reduc- tion of pollution. He said, ‘‘As is often the case with many extremely large issues, the message to the public can be boiled down to seme very basic suggestions for action. The answer lies in what the individual can do; not in sweeping general proclama- tions. When individuals act, collectively they obtain results.” Mr. Spitale said his organiza- tion’s recommendations are undramatic, but highly prac- tical. The recommendations are contained in a campaign called “Clearing The Air” and point up the importance of regular car maintenance as a means of abating air pollution. “While cars do not cause all the air pollution,” Mr. Spitale said, “There is no reason for anyone to allow his vehicle to be a contributor to the problem.” In citing the need for regular expert maintenance, the AAA official pointed out that one bad spark plug can cause a car to pour out many times more air polluting hydrocarbons than a well-tuned car. A faulty car- buretor or choke adjustment may allow as much as one gallon of gasoline from every tankful to pass unburned into the air. Other pollution causing villains, according to Mr. Spitale, are rumbling muf- flers, worn gaskets, and old oil filters; all of which can be corrected by a regular program of sound automotive main- tenance. “There is a tendency to feel that, once a car has the latest emission control devices as standard equipment, the pollution problem is solved. While these additions to a car’s combustion system have collectively contributed to substantial air contamination reduction in recent years, they are not infallible,” Mr. Spitale stated. He recommended that owners of newer cars should see to it that regular checks are made of their vehicles’ crankcase ventilation and exhaust control systems. He cautioned that maintenance of these systems is no job for an amateur and should be looked into by an expert mechanic. “The greatest contributor to air pollution is lethargy. Sitting back and letting the other guy do it, or assuming that Federal standards will erase the problem, is not a solution,’’ Mr. Spitale said.
