Over one thousand organizations dealing with air pollution control activities in 14 countries are included in the context of their functions in each country. Geography, political background, administration and finance of national and local control programs, current interests, proposed control programs and time tables for meeting goals are described in textual format for Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, and Soviet Union with similar descriptions for 19 international organizations. Where applicable publications relating to air pollution are also listed. Although cross-referenced in the text, each individual organization is outlined in aseparate section that is also divided by countries. The outline not only describes aims and functions but also key personnel and complete addresses. Functional and geographical cross-indexes within and across countries facilitate use on an issue-oriented basis. The report is a working document for preparing the second-year, supplemental report which will contain additional countries, as well as additional information for the countries already listed.
