Abstract

REPRESENTATIVES of local authorities and other bodies co-operating in the investigation of atmospheric pollution met in London on May 28. The Conference, in considering its annual report to the co-operating bodies, unanimously agreed that while contribution to the war effort is the first duty and desire of every organization, the need for vigilant attention to the purity of the atmosphere has by no means decreased since the outbreak of the War. The wasteful burning of fuel, and the detriment which pollution causes to the nation's health were stressed. The Conference therefore urged all local authorities to do whatever lies in their power to maintain the investigation. At the close of the meeting, Prof. W. H. Roberts, associate professor of public health chemistry in the University of Liverpool, was unanimously elected chairman of the Conference.
