Abstract
THE twenty-fourth report on “Atmospheric Pollution” issued by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research appears in a new format and in two volumes, namely, the report on observations up to March 31, 1938 (H.M. Stationery Office, 2s. net) and the other a supplement giving deposit tables over the same period (H.M. Stationery Office, 4s. 6d. net). This arrangement will be a convenience to those who are interested in the general results rather than the actual observations. These show that there has been a tendency for the air to become cleaner. Again Cardiff provides the lowest figure for sooty matter and many will learn-with surprise that the London area provides some of the worst figures. Greenwich had the greatest number of days with heavy smoke haze. Stoke followed next and then Victoria Street, London.
