PURE FORMALDEHYDE

Quantitative The technique is sufficiently sensitive to detectmost gas phase pollutants as they occur at

Analysis: the source. Furthermore sample concentra-tion methods are being developed in

Linear to 100% order to detect many pollutants at theextremely low concentration levels in which they sometimes exisiafter dispersal in the atmosphere. Such sample handling ap-proaches are aided by the fact that this technique has been shownto be quantitatively linear from the minimum detectable limitsto 100%" pollutant concentration.Boundary conditions for this linearity have been investigated

and can be readily achieved experimentally. While this char-acteristic lhas obvious importance for the quantitative analysis ofa particular mixture, it may be even more valuable to assesssample concentration methods anid to detect adsorption takingplace within the sample container.

Second-generation After some 5 years of applicationexperience with the original MRRSpectrometer (Microwave) Spectrometer, HP scientists

Now Avai have completed the design of a second-Now Available generation instrument which is now avail-able as the 8460 MRR Spectrometer. The new instrumentincorporates a number of improvements that increase its useful-ness and simplify its use.

It generates only a few milliwatts of microwave energy anddoes not require cooling water, air conditioning or other specialservices.The 8460 is a research instrument with broad-band capabilitythat extends its application to the qualitative and quantitative

analysis of most of the small, gas phase pollutants that are cur-rently in the limelight, and many that are not but may soon be.For example, most of the gases that have a bad odor or are toxicto human life are small molecules with a nitrogen or sulfur atom.The great majority of these have a permanent dipole moment andare therefore susceptible to MRR analysis. As we get the currentproblems in hand, these will almost certainly be included moreforcefully in future air quality standards.The HP MRR Spectrometer is being used presently as a

research tool. Intramolecular forces are evaluated through exactstructural determination, line splitting and accurate intensitymeasurements. Intermolecular forces can be determined fromabsorption line shapes.HP scientists are constantly accumulating information on rota-

tional microwave spectroscopy, in the study of molecular struc-ture, air pollution analysis and other fields.

discussion of alternatives, the only allu-sion to HARPIN was the observationthat the AEC had advised "that nucleardestruction is unsatisfactory." How-ever, the Army had in fact asked theAEC for permission to include a copyof the HARPIN study in the impactstatement. The Army had been in-formed that, if inclusion of the studywas "mandatory," the AEC wouldsanction the use of the HARPIN docu-ment in a new version-one fromwhich mention of the public relationsaspects of HARPIN had been deleted.The AEC had asked that its strong op-position to HARPIN be emphasizedand that the earlier study document bedestroyed and that the new one begiven as "little distribution as possible."The Army's impact statement mini-

mized the possibility of major environ-mental dam.age resulting from OperationCHASE. However, field studies of theearlier disposal of nerve gas- had beenextremely limited, although laboratorystudies of questions such as the hy-drolysis rate of the GB agent in saltwater had been extensive. (A monitor-ing program will soon be undertakenat the site of the August dumping; nocontamination was detected in watersamples collected shortly after the hulkwent down.)The impact statement indicated that,

to assume the worst possible case, theGB agent would contaminate 1 cubicmile of water above the sea floor, andthis only briefly. However, the CEQ,in a memorandum to the Army pre-pared by Gordon J. MacDonald, aformer member of the President's Sci-ence Advisory Committee, said that theimpact statement left a number of ques-tions unanswered and that no firm pre-dictions about the effects of the dump-ing were in order.For instance, while the Army had

assumed that there is little marine lifeat the 16,000-foot depth and no fish ofcommercial value, the council said thatpresent knowledge of sea life at thatdepth is quite incomplete. It thenobserved:

It is known that carnivorous fishes arefound at that depth. Most of the deepwater fishes have eggs which rise to ornear the surface. Eggs and larvae of otherdeep sea organisms come to or near thesurface. It is believed that many orga-nisms may make seasonal migrations fromshallow to deep waters, and from coastalto deep waters. Many commercial fishes,for example flounder, which occur inshallow waters off the southeastern coastof the U.S. migrate into deeper waters inwinter. The exact depth limits of some of

1298

these movements are not known. But thepoint is that there is a possibility thatfishes, directly used by man, might passthrough the contaminated zone, or mightconsume other organisms which havecome from or passed through that zone.And it should be remembered that thereare commercial surface fisheries in thegeneral area [250 miles east of CapeCanaveral] of the dumping site.

Last week, Representative Emilio Q.Daddario (D-Conn.), chairman of theHouse Subcommittee on Science, Re-search, and Development, introducedlegislation to give the Council on En-vironmental Quality authority to ap-prove or reject any plan for disposal ofmilitary material in the oceans or navi-gable waters of the United States. Sincethe President-to whom the council isanswerable-already has that authority,this legislation may not be needed. Butthe byplay between the Army and theAEC prior to Operation CHASE clearlysuggests that federal agencies involvedin controversial matters of this kindneed a big brother.

The book is essentially a text for theastrophysics student with a good back-ground in mathematics and atomicphysics. It starts off without prelimi-naries. On page 2 we meet the Strom-gren sphere and on page 3 we find thebasic formula for its radius. The pres-entation continues ap.ace and, readingat random, one finds hardly a page un-worthy of one's attention. I, for one,have learned a lot by reviewing thebook.The first three sections-Interstellar

Hydrogen, The Physical State of theInterstellar Gas, and Interstellar Dust-are the basic ones; they occupy abouthalf the book. In the chapters underthese headings radio and optical astron-omy are properly blended. These chap-ters are good ones, but the readershould be warned that they are not upto date. As far as I can judge, the textis essentially complete to 1963, andthere are selected references includedto 1966 and 1967, but the new resultsand developments of the past four orfive years are not represented here.For them one must turn to the pub-lished summaries of the Crimean Sym-posium of the International Astronomi-cal Union, held in September 1969at Pikelner's home base, with him asone of the principal organizers. TheCrimean Symposium volume is or soonwill be available in book form. Therewill be other summarizing volumes toconsult-such as the volume based onthe Steward Observatory symposium ondark nebulae, globules, and protostarsheld in Tucson in March 1970, alsosoon to be in print, or the presentationsat the Brighton General Assembly ofthe International Astronomical Union(August 1970). For the reading of allthese, sections 1, 2, and 3 of Kaplanand Pikelner provide ideal backgroundmaterial.

Section 4 deals with Interstellar Mag-netic Fields and Nonthermal RadioEmission. This is a research subject inwhich the authors are preeminent, andit is good indeed to have their introduc-tory material made generally availableto English-speaking readers. The unifiedtreatment includes naturally severalaspects of the study of cosmic rays,which represent a very important partof the interstellar plasma. The chapterends with some illuminating discussionsof the Crab Nebula, Cassiopeia A, theCygnus Loop Nebula, and the galacticspur. Again, one notes with some re-gret that the discussions of these objectsinclude references only to 1966; pul-25 SEPTEMBER 1970

sars, radio and optical, are discussedonly very briefly in an addendum onpages 402 to 405, and the references toobservational data on galactic magneticfields are out of date. It will be mostinteresting to read the next edition ofthe book, in which the authors shouldexpress their views on pulsars, neutronstars, and the helical components ofthe galactic magnetic field.The book ends with a monumental

section (100 pages) on Interstellar GasDynamics and the Evolution of theInterstellar Medium. It is a beautifulintroduction to the volume based on theCrimean Symposium. The chapteropens with two fine sections, one onshock fronts, the other on ionizationfronts. Kaplan and Pikelner write onthese topics as true experts-and ouranonymous translator has done well inpresenting the difficult material in Eng-lish. The first half of the chapter endswith a good discussion of motions inthe interstellar gas, including an anal-ysis of basic observational material oninterstellar turbulence.

The concluding chapters, section 5,deal with problems of the evolution ofthe interstellar medium. This is a sub-ject on which Pikelner has made majorcontributions, which have not generallyreceived in the West the attention thatthey deserve. The sections on the gravi-tational collapse of interstellar clouds,large and small, should be read withcare by students and professionals alike.I have personally been much intrigued'by Pikelner's work on 'barred spiralsand the role they may play in the evolu-tion of galaxies. It is a pity that thereis so little on this subject in the presentbook and that the treatment of galaxyproblems is so brief. We are all lookingforward to more books like the presentone by these authors.The printing and binding of the book

are up to the standards one expectsfrom the Harvard University Press. Theprice is high, but, believe me, the bookis well worth having. The reproductionsof photographs are not quite what theyshould be, and in my reading I cameacross several printing and spelling(names!) errors. But basically this is anexcellent book. There is much to praiseand there are few criticisms to be made.Thank you, Dr. Kaplan, thank you, Dr.Pikelner, and thank you, anonymoustranslator.
