Abstract: In April 1971 the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency published National Air Quality Standards as required under the provisions of the Clean Air Act. These included primary and secondary standards for particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, photochemical oxidants, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Even after distillate fuel oils have been reduced to 0.3% sulfur content. for example, in New York City 67% of the residual fuel oil burners would have lo be converted to natural gas to meet the area standard. Approximately 50 billion cubic feet of gas would be required over the present consumption. This demand is more than can be supplied to the NYC area, but it points up the critical need for gas in the fight to reduce pollutants thai threaten the health of millions of people.
