Industry and Water Pollution — New Research and Development Programs L. W. WEINBERGER, Assistant Commissioner Research and Development Federal Water Pollution Control Administration U. S. Department of the Interior Washington, D. C. 20242 INTRODUCTION Nearly 20 years ago, I attended an industrial waste conference at Purdue University for the first time. It was the third conference; 264 people attended it. The first conference held in 1944 had 203 attendees. In contrast, more than 800 Eeople are attending this 22nd conference during which more than 80 papers, are eing presented by eminent scientists from across the country and around the globe. Approximately 1,100 papers have been presented at the Purdue meetings. In commenting on the first conference, Professor D. E. Bloodgood said 1) "The indications are that, if at all possible, the Industrial Waste Utilization Conference will become one of Purdue's outstanding annual affairs." Not only has this Conference become one of Purdue's outstanding annual affairs but also an outstanding affair on a national basis. This is, of course, a tribute to Professor Blood- good and all the cooperating groups who have made the Purdue Conferences a continuing success. The first speaker at a symposium or a conference usually has an advantage in that he has the opportunity of saying things first -- but, my address has been given before -- perhaps several times. And I quote: "The treatment of industrial wastes is vitally important, not only to a limited few individuals or interests, but to many people whose lives and welfare are directly or indirectly affected." "The fact is that practically all industrial wastes can be treated by a process or a combination of processes to a degree which will permit their discharge into almost any watercourse. The factor which limits the adoption of such processes is the cost.'' "A notable increase in stream pollution is a consequence of industrial development and growth. With all indications pointing to a continuation of this trend, it is essential that each State inaugurate apollution abatement program..." "Industry in general is becoming more nad more aware of the necessity for waste treatment and pollution abatement not only because of its effect upon the general welfare of the public but also because of its own dependence upon rivers and streams for suitable water for manufacturing processes. " "However, the benefits accruing from pollution abatement and industrial waste treatment are so far-reaching that industry should be prepared to bear its share of the total costs. " - 553 -
