Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution.
This Council has continued to co-operate with the Department
of Industrial and Scientific Research by providing information
on atmospheric pollution which is obtained from the Deposit
Gauge and Lead Peroxide instrument on the roof of the Queens
Road Centre and from the Volumetric apparatus in the Town
Hall. The Council authorised the setting up of an additional
volumetric apparatus in the Dulwich Area and by arrangement
with the London County Council this was brought into operation
at Lordship Lane Child Welfare Centre, 475 Lordship Lane, on
June 1st.
Details of the readings obtained from these instruments are
shown in graph form on pages 44-47.
