- Summary
- COI synopsis: Pollution can suffocate the seas, drown the land and stifle the atmosphere. And less obvious but equally insidious forms of pollution make similar inroads into our existence. It’s an invasion that British scientists are trying to combat. The heavy rumble of traffic on the roads and in the air, pounds our brains and our heritage. But work at Essex University could change all that. A mini computer, working on sheer guesswork, builds up a waveform which when added to an engine noise, will virtually reduce it to silence.
