industrial boiler operators in the Borough have been most co-operative in
ensuring that new chimneys have been of an adequate height, and in all cases
the recommendations of the Clean Air Inspector have been adopted.
Atmospheric Pollution.
The two smoke/sulphur dioxide recording stations previously set up at
the Town Hall and Poplar Technical Institute have remained in operation and
much useful information has been obtained.
A telesmoke and reflectometer were purchased during the year, and their
use has enabled much more accurate smoke observations and measurements of
atmospheric pollution to be obtained.
Trainee Public Health Inspectors.
Two trainee Public Health Inspectors have been seconded to the section
each week to assist the Clean Air Inspector. In January, all four trainee
Public Health Inspectors attended a course run by the Coal Utilisation Council
on which they were instructed in the correct method of fixing and adjusting
approved solid smokeless fuel appliances.
Exhibitions.
During the year, two visits were made to the Borough by the mobile
display of the Solid Smokeless Fuels Federation, each visit lasting five days.
The exhibition displayed a representative selection of approved appliances
and fuels.
