    SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT
    (by Mr. Dumelle):
    The suspended particulate levels quoted by Mr. William
    Dallas for the moni~oron his home are quite high
    (R.
    99)
    .
    The
    reading of
    753 ug/m
    and other values of 420 and 442 ug/m3 he
    reported exceed the Illinois and United States air quality standard
    of 260 ug/m3
    (for a 24—hour period)
    by
    190,
    62,
    and 70
    res-
    pectively.
    We do not know,
    on this record, whether air quality standards
    will be met everywhere even after the expenditure of the $17,500,000
    control program.
    The control program proposed ought to go forward
    with the utmost speed to achieve maximum relief for all of Granite
    City.
    But after completion, the area of the Dallas instrument
    location especially should be checked to determine
    if it is
    in
    conformance with the air quality standards.
    Air quality standards
    still govern even
    if specific Board emission regulations are met.
