FOREWORD TO VOLUME II 



These Proceedings result from the second symposium held by Project 

 02.02-1.3 of the US-USSR Joint Agreement in the Field of Environmental 

 Protection, established in May, 1972. 



Both broad review and narrowly specific papers were presented by 

 participants from both countries in an effort to continue the joint pro- 

 cedural, technological and methodological exchange and familiarization 

 begun at the Duluth Symposium in October of 1975. Learning does not occur 

 -^§ Jlovo and subsequent understanding and application must be based on a 

 foundation of fact. The atmosphere of mutual interest, candor and respect 

 which surrounded this symposium enabled another series of steps in the 

 learning process. Perhaps the philosophy underlying this symposium, and 

 the project itself is best expressed by an old saying, which trans- 

 literated from the Russian approximates: Vyek zhee-vee, Vyek oo-chee, 

 Live a lifetime, learn a lifetime.
