This •ext - from the Uftiversity of Wifldsor - Orttario,
CaNada; where Dr. Otto Brudy - co-developer of a New
cigarette filter - has hit upon a related sol•tion to llae
problem of city air pollutiort.
TIie idea - says Dr. Brwdy - to adapt the rtew
cigarette filter to a11to exlaa11st syste,,.s - at a cost of
aboMI
a dollar-a-car.
He
adds
tlaat Ge•eral Motors -
laas already
st•rted a study of tlae teclaftiti•e.
Will
it
work? Witlao11t a q•estio• - says Dr. Br•dy.
Asserting,
itt
effect, tlaat "a filter tlaat beats tlae tar o•t
of cigarettes - ca,a easily 1,ayo carbort ,,.o,eoxide."
