The table also shows the rainfall for the months of January to December of the year
1932, and the amounts found of insoluble matter, tar, soot, and dust, also the soluble matter,
together with the sulphates, ammonia and chlorine in the volume collected.
The results as given by the Public Analyst have been re.calculated into metric tons per
square kilometre during each month.
In addition to the foregoing, a daily observation has been made at mid.day at the Guildhall
of the purity of the air by a modern dry method, by which the suspended matter can
be readily demonstrated.
