The Public Health Service has the responsibility for the investigation of the causes of air pollution, the determination of the effects of air pollution upon life and property, the development of effective means of prevention and control of air pollution, and the development of air quality criteria. These problems are dealt with through in-aid to air pollution control agencies, abatement proa coordinated program of basic applied research, grantsceedings in certain cases, technical services to State and local agencies, and a training program designed to provide competencies necessary to cope with the complex problems of air pollution. To augment and accelerate the research program, extensive use is made of existing technical facilities in other Federal agencies and other public and private research organizations through grants and contracts. 1. Grants (a) Research. Research grants are made primarily to universities and institutions to conduct research into air pollution problems. Approximately 138 grants will be supported in 1966 as compared to 138 in 1965 and 111 in 1964. (b) Fellowships. Fellowship awards support individual 378 post-graduate training in air pollution research and control activities.

Approximately 26 grants will be awarded in 1966 as compared to 19 in 1965 and 17 in 1964. (d) Control programs.-Grants are made to State and local air pollution control agencies on a matching basis. for the purpose of establishing, developing, or improving programs for the prevention and control of air pollution. This new authority has been provided in the Clean Air Act as a basic means for assisting the States and communities in meeting their air pollution problems more effectively. Approximately 200 grants will be awarded in 1966. (e) Survey and demonstration.-Grants are made to States and communities for surveys to assess their air pollution problems. In 1966, it is estimated that from 30 to 40 survey grants will be awarded. Demonstration grants will be awarded in future years after completion of the assessment program. 2. Research, training, technical services, and abatement.Research activities concerned with the extraction of sulfur from fuels, development of air quality criteria, and development of devices and processes for the prevention of air pollution will be expanded to meet the responsibilities placed upon the program by the Clean Air Act. Meteorological studies concerned with the intraand inter-urban transport of air pollutants and assessment of automotive emission control through design and modification of engines and related equipment will receive emphasis. Short-term technical training on all aspects of air pollution is provided by the Public Health Service to State and local agency personnel and to industrial personnel responsible for industrial plant air pollution control. Technical services provided to State and local agencies, universities, and industry through consultations, collaborative surveys, and dissemination of technical information are of importance as a result of the increased responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. A technical information center, which will serve as a clearinghouse for all air pollution information and coordinate the collection and dissemination of a wide variety of technical information, will be activated. Abatement activities required under the provisions of the Clean Air Act, including those relating to pollution from Federal facilities, will become operational in 1965. These activities include the technical fact finding, conference and hearing procedures, and related administrative and legal aspects provided for in the act.

This program provides national leadership for improving public health protection through research and technical assistance to States, municipalities, and industry to assist them in coping with health problems of the environment. To assure that only safe water, milk, shellfish, and food supplies are served to the public and to the 2 million travelers carried per day on interstate conveyances, and to stimulate creation and maintenance of healthful environments, the operating functions of research, standards development, and application must be augmented and improved in areas affected by rapidly changing technology. 1. Research grants.-The research grants program enables investigators at universities and other research institutions to conduct research in milk, food, and shellfish sanitation and technology, solid wastes disposal, individual water supply and sewage disposal, recreational sanitation, swimming pool and bathing place microbiology and control, and engineering in relation to planning to alleviate health problems of metropolitan areas. Approximately 209 research projects will be supported in 1966, as compared to 232 in 1965 and 234 in 1964. Total number of permanent positions.. Average salary of ungraded positions....

Research, training, and technical services.-By means of research, standards development, interstate regulatory and certification activities, consultation, application of research findings, technical assistance, training, and inspections, professional guidance and leadership are provided to States and local communities for improved health protection of the public. The increase in 1966 will provide Identification code for research on the prevention of botulism poisoning; for developing a program of housing hygiene and related residential environmental health; for an environmental sanitation demonstration project in a selected United StatesMexico border area; and for additional resources to carry out basic interstate shellfish certification responsibilities.

The Public Health Service has responsibility for conducting a national program for the prevention and control of radiological hazards to public health. The Service is conducting a program to assess the levels and effects of radiation exposure and, in cooperation with other agencies at Federal, State, and local levels, to minimize such dangers. Such a program involves both basic and applied research on the sources, levels, and effects of radiation as well as means of protecting the public; the provision of technical information and assistance to State and local agencies in developing their own radiation protection PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE-Continued Object Classification (in thousands of dollars)-Continued General and special funds-Continued ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH-Continued RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH-continued programs; and a training program to provide the competencies needed in this new and expanding area of radiation protection and control. 1.

Research, training, and technical services.-Measurement and surveillance is performed to determine the levels of radiation exposure of man from all sources. Research is carried out to determine the biological effects, somatic and genetic, of such exposure, as well as means by which exposures can be reduced or prevented. Technical services are supplied to other Federal agencies, States, and local authorities. Training courses for State, local, and industry personnel are conducted through the training facilities in Rockville, Md., and at the Sanitary Engineering Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as at various field locations such as Montgomery, Ala., Las Vegas, Nev., and Winchester, Mass.
