Part 5 of a 6-part series by Worldwatch Institute examines the need for international cooperation in dealing with transboundary air pollution. Comparisons of annual sulfur emissions and acid depositions on the European countries show that there is often a large discrepancy between a country's contribution of air pollutants and the amount it receives. Efforts to acknowledge the common interest and to develop multilateral agreements have found the European Economic Community to be the best forum, although political and economic goals tend to dilute long-term solutions. Copies of the complete report can be obtained by sending $2 to Worldwatch Institute, 1776 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washington, DC. 1 table.
