“…Automobiles, in releasing into the atmosphere carbon monoxide and fine droplets of moisture, which form ice particulates instantly, appear to be the most pernicious source of pollution (Weller, 1969). The U.S. standard for carbon monoxide (9 parts per million average for eight hours) was exceeded on 73 per cent of the days from December 1972 through February 1973 (Gilmore and Hanna 1973). Ice fog now occurs at average temperatures as high as -31.7"C, and so its incidence is greatly increased.…”

Fairbanks, Alaska is used as a w e study for assessing problems of environmental quality that may intensify or develop in rapidly expanding northern settlements. constraints imposed by site and situation are severe, although they have been partially overcome by highcost technological measures. Additionally, flood damage, inadequate community action, and high costs have led to poor housing conditions and a housing shortage. Dispal of solid, liquid and wastes, inadequately controlled in the past, has now become a serious problem. Enforcement of new health standards and the development of community-wide planning represent recent measuns to improve environmental quality. Rf?SUM&. A Fairbanks, U M dtude sur la qualift du milieu. Fairbanks, Alaska, sert aux auteurs comme 6tude de cas, pour 6valuer les problhmes de qualité de l'environnement qui devraient s'intensifia ou se développer dans les communautb urbaines nordiques en expansion rapide. Les contraintes qu'imposent le site et la situation sont s6v&res, bien que des mesures technologiques tr&s milteuses les aient partiellement surmonth. De plus, les inondations, l'action inadhuate des com-munaut& et les coOts ClevC ont men6 2t une pauvreté et une rareté du logement. Mal contri316e par le pas&, l'6vacuation des dkhets solides, liquides et gazeux est maintenant devenue un problhme s6rieux. La mise en force de nouveaux standards de sant6 et le dCveloppement d'une p l d c a t i o n a l'tkhelle de la communaut6 sont des mesures r6centm pour am6liorer la qualit6 du milieu.
