ACID RAIN
Video
This program provides chemical definitions, illustrates geological and meteorological
interactions, and traces the sources of acid precipitation. It also demonstrates
ecological concepts and suggests possible solutions. 20 minutes.

AIR POLLUTION: INDOOR
Indoor air pollution is in many ways a self-induced problem — which makes it no
easier to solve. Painting and other home improvements have introduced pollutants;
thermal insulation and other energy-saving and waterproofing devices have trapped the
pollutants inside. The result is that air pollution inside a modern home can be
worse than inside a chemical plant. 13 minutes.
CBM062B
AIR POLLUTION: OUTDOOR
Video
This program examines our understanding of how fuels burn and how they can be made to
burn more completely with fewer hazardous by-products; how pollutants can be filtered out
before they escape into the environment; and how they can be recycled or disposed of
safely; and the status of research into new and cleaner fuels and combustion
methods. 16 minutes.
CBM063
CLEAN WATER
Video
We use water for drinking, cooking, washing, cooling, and never consider that every
day, in hundreds of ways, each of us is contributing to water pollution. Compared to
industrial pollution, the individual’s contribution is small, but collectively,
“personal” pollution exacts a tremendous cost to the environment. This
program looks at the unsuspected environmental and health problems people unwittingly
create at home, and offers suggestions on purchasing, storing, and using common household
products and non-toxic alternatives. 29 minutes.
CBM064
LEAD POISONING
Video
This program provides an in-depth look at the health hazards of lead. It explores
what is being done to reduce and prevent exposure to lead contaminating our air, water,
and soil. It examines advances in the treatment of victims of lead poisoning.
26 minutes.

THE SEARCH FOR CLEAN AIR
Video
A clear, forceful and thorough exposition of the problems of air pollution.
Narrated by Walter Cronkite. 90 minutes.
CBM066
WATER
Video
A look at the composition and properties of water and its ability to adopt different
forms; mineral water, which has different uses depending on the minerals it contains; and
rain water. 23 minutes.
CBM067
WATER AND LIFE: A DELICATE BALANCE
Video
This program looks at why we need clean water, and the dangers to the water
supply. It shows the role of water in the human body; the cycles of water,
industrial water consumption and pollution; ways of increasing the water supply; and a
reminder that water is not necessarily a renewable resource. 13 minutes.
