New furnaces
Section 3 requires that new furnaces, not used mainly for
domestic purposes and exceeding a specified capacity, shall be so far as
is practicable smokeless. Any person installing such a furnace must
give prior notice to the Council and may submit detailed plans and
specifications for approval before the work of installation takes place.
During 1959 eleven notifications were received, and three
applications for approval of plans etc., were approved.
Smoke emissions. The Sections of the Clean Air Act, 1956,
which relate to industrial smoke come into force on 1st June, 1958. Up
to that date emissions of industrial smoke were dealt with under the
provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1936.
