Clean Air Act

Abstract

I SHOULD like to extend Brazell's recent discussion of the meteorological consequences of the Clean Air Act of 1956 which was confined chiefly to visibility and sunshine1. I shall provide further direct and indirect evidence concerning other meteorological variables such as atmospheric stability, solar radiation, illumination and air temperature, and the diverse interactions between meteorological elements and air pollution.
