This document is a 1961 report by G.A. Lloyd, the coordinator of public affairs for Esso Standard of ExxonMobil titled “The Petroleum Industries’ Air Pollution Control Program.” Lloyd was also the chairman of the Information Committee of the American Petroleum Institute’s Smoke and Fumes Committee. In this piece, Lloyd details API’s air pollution research, which, according to Lloyd, showed that air pollution is attributable to many sources, not just the oil industry. Additionally, Lloyd describes a variety of ways that API’s research has contributed to lower emissions from the oil industry. Lloyd then claims that it is API’s responsibility to inform the public of API’s involvement in reducing emissions, and specifically to “promote better understanding and appreciation of oil industry research efforts in air pollution problems.”
