Gentlemen-:
This is to call your attention to a recent complaint registered by
Mr. Frank Ricketts , Main St. , 4 1rest Glens Falls, N. Y.
He has been recently discharged from the hospital where he was
treated for a heart condition. His physician has advised him against cough-
ing or straining. .On the day of the complaint (January 14th, 1960) he
noticed considerable chest irritation and cough, resulting from smog in the
neighborhood . Numerous other people complained about this smo ; but do not
themselves present health ,problems. They all traced this smog to burning
of refuse in the dump in Jest Glens Falls .
Since the cgmplaint .was registered at night I am unable to verify
that burning of refuse did actually occur on January 14th, 1960. However,.
if indeed burning of refuse did occur, then there is no doubt that it was
a large factor in the production of the smog. I did have occasion to be
in various parts of the Glens Falls area on that day and noticed the smog
to be more prevalent in the 'Nest Glens Falls area.
On those days , Then temperature , lack of xind and other conditions
favorable to the production of smog .are present , .the burning of refuse
at the dump would be a large factor in the production of tris smo&.
Smog is becoming an increasingly severe health problem throughout the
-country. It is a well known fact that smog is an irritant and at times car!
be a very perious threat to an individual suffering from heart and lung
conditions. Further, it is also believed that the long time presence of
smog may be a contributing factor in .the development of cancer of the lung.
It behooves us to do whatever we can to control any such problems.
Very truly yours ,
Robert A. Reid, M.D.
A discussion was had among the members of the Board respecting the smog
