Measurement of atmospheric pollution
Table 21, on pages 28 and 29, gives a record of the principal
results from the stations, and also gives some indication of the sunshine,
rainfall etc. during the year. Some of these latter data are not
specific to the borough, having been obtained from a publication of the
Meteorological Office, and relate to the nearest station which records
the particular item concerned. Later in the year an additional volumetric
station was sited at the Town Hall, capable of giving hourly smoke
readings.
