Routine Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution
Four smoke measuring stations are in operation at the following premises:-
1. Chenil Galleries, King's Road, S.W.3.
2. Legal and Parliamentary Section, Red House, Hornton Street, W.8.
3. Public Library, Lancaster Road, W. 10.
4. Child Welfare Centre, Redcliffe Street, S.W. 10.
The equipmentat the Legal and Parliamentary Section, Hornton Street and Chenil
Galleries, King's Road, consists of a smoke filter and a hydrogen peroxide bubbling apparatus.
The smoke filter measures the daily concentration of smoke suspended in the atmosphere, and
the hydrogen peroxide bubbler extracts the sulphur dioxide content of the atmosphere.
Readings are taken each day. The equipment at the Public Library and the Welfare Centre
consists of smoke filters only. Measurements are taken three times a week. With the use
of a Reflectometer, daily and monthly averages are calculated from the results.
Weather records are also kept and observations are made at Chenil Galleries,
King's Road, S.W.3. This information is required by Warren Spring Laboratory, who carry
out a national survey of air pollution.
