JUN 91





SUBJECT          KUWAIT







THE AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS AND TOXINS

FROM THE OIL FIRES REMAIN LOW THERE ARE STILL APPROXIMATELY 400

OIL WELLS BURNING AND THE PARTICULATE LEVEL IS HIGH. THERE IS

STILL A GREAT DEAL OF SPECULATION ABOUT THE CONDITIONS TO BE

EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. WHILE DURING MOST OF

THE MONTH OF MAY, THE SKIES WERE CLEAR.  JUNE HAS SEEN MANY DAYS

OF SMOKY, GREY, DARK SKIES.







FORMAL REPORTS OF THE POLLUTION FINDINGS WILL PROBABLY NOT

BE FORTHCOMING UNTIL NEAR THE END OF 1991.
