Pollution: Air; Land; Water
Pollution—reduces the amount of sunlight which the earth receives, makes the air dangerous to breathe, leaves much of our water supply unusable, sterilizes vast areas of the earth's surface and is endangering the entire population of our planet.
This special section of the Kansan is designed to illustrate some areas of pollution and to show the necessity of cleaning them up-for the sake of survival.
Specific locations of the pictures are intentionally omitted. They show what anyone can see in almost any location in our state and nation. All photographs in
this special section were taken in Kansas, by photography students in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information at the University of Kansas.
No one industry is singled out, but merely used as a representation to draw attention to the overall problem of industrial contamination as it exists in our environment.
Only a few words. A lot of pictures. Take a good, long look—and then do something about it. Remember, what you're looking at is our final resting place. But how soon?
