Wind Rose demonstrating Wind Frequency for 1950.
NOXIOS FUME EMISSIONS
The year has been one of trouble. Scientific advance in the production
of new materials bring problems of manufacture. The shortage of
raw materials also provides an opportunity for recovery from salvaged
articles of such essentials.
It is to be expected, therefore, that a district situated on the east of
Greater London should be faced with such problems. We have within
the Borough boundaries no less than 21 premises of a type likely to produce
noxious emissions. Some are small in size but others are substantial.
They are engaged in a variety of manufactures from the production
of selective weed-killers and sausage skins to asbestos goods. We have
special troubles arising from the recovery of non-ferrous metals.
