This is clipped from an early air pollution film made by Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP). Partly funded by federal grants and partly by fundraising proceeds, this 18 minutes film was the work of GASP member Esther Kritzes. It was widely distributed in in the 1970s and recently digitized and posted to the GASP YouTube channel with several other interesting air pollution films from this environmental group. (youtube.com/user/GASPPgh). GASP was founded in 1969 by a group of 43 volunteers concerned about air quality issues in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Over the years, GASP has maintained a continuous program to educate the public on questions of pollution and its remediation. Through public meetings, engagement with the press, educational events, permit reviews, and other means, GASP has worked tirelessly to explain and combat our air quality problems.
