The maintenance of the daily smoke filter and hydrogen peroxide
apparatus for measuring sulphur dioxide continued during the year and the results
obtained therefrom were communicated to the Department of Scientific and
Industrial Research, who undertakes the co-ordination of the observations made by
local authorities and investigates the nature, measurement and prevention of
atmospheric pollution.
Proposals were considered during the year to set up further measuring
stations and at the close of 1962, plans had been completed for the installation of
two more sets of apparatus. Readings from these will be available in 1963.
