Wow Bob. Your newsgroup post formatting is absolutely atrocious. The
subject line is supposed to be a "subject", not the first part of a
sentence which you continue in the body of the post.

Of all the reasons to not use SRBs, the pollution argument is down in
the noise. We launch so few of these things, they really don't matter
much in the big scheme of things.

Bob fails to understand the mass of the pollution produced when
compared to the mass of the atmosphere. It's below 'down in the
noise'. It's pretty much non-existent as a problem.

Which mimicked 1995-1998 press by the US Navy

Which occurred nearly a decade after a Mother Jones article on the subject of rocket pollution;

Which made it into the Astronautics text books by 2003

Which by 2016 about 70% of all the working astronautical engineers have this 'noise level' concern topmost in their minds.

So, in this sense its a legitimate concern.
