"The purpose in air sampling is to compare the effect of our former coal-fired boiler house with the air quality since our conversion to natural gas earli- er this year," says Mr. Stair. "The trend is downward in the number of pollutants in the air," he adds. "However, we need a year's data on our use of natural gas before we can give percentages on the de- crease.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited, lung-damaging disease which strikes young children and has no known cure. Since 1960, how- ever, the lifcspan of these chil- dren has increased from four years 'old to about 12 to 14 years old. Research, aided by cam- paign contributions, has helped add years to this lifespan. A native of Morgantown, Mr.

Stair and his colleagues measure the air for particu- lates (fly ash) and sulphur con- tent. Monitoring for particu- lates is done two ways--dust fall jars and Hi Vol samplers. Dust fall jars, each contain- ing small amounts of water, are placed at four strategic posi- tions--in the plant, Potomac Park, Cresaptown and on Hay- stack Mountain. Hi Vol samp- lers are equipped with fans, which pull air through filter CHECKING THE AIR --Paul Stair, environmental engineer at Amcelle Plant of Celanese Fibers Company, checks an open-top dust fall jar and a Hi Vol sampler, right, to guage the quality of the air around the plant.

The Amcelle sewage treat- ment plant went into operation in August 1970. In ISfovember 1971, Amcelle began side the plant. The samples and jars are checked weekly for results. Nineteen sampling stations are set up from Ridgeley to Barton's Dairy to determine-Ihe ing the Northern Branch of the Potomac River, upstream arid downstream from the plant. Monitoring is done monthly.

"The impact of our effluenls on; the river is negligible," says Stair. Amcelle meets or exceeds water and air rjuality standards and sampling is one of the many factors behind such a high grade of efficiency, he said. Samples of the water taken from the Potomac are brought into the plant and ana- lyzed for acidity, solids, biolog- ical oxygen demand (BOD), dis- solved oxygen and temperature.
