Station No. 2 again had the highest sulphur dioxide concentration
and as in 1963 the readings reached their peak in February and March
when figures of 1183, 1116 and 1196 micrograms per cubic metre were
reached, the last two figures being on consecutive days. These two
months together with October produced the highest average daily concentrations
ranging from 415 at Station No. 2 to 131 at Station No. 1.
Station No. 2 also produced the highest daily reading of smoke; this
was 1515 micrograms per cubic metre and occurred in March on the day
preceding those which gave high SO2 readings. January and February
produced the highest average daily readings when they ranged from 107
at Station No. 3 to 186 at Station No. 4. The figures for the month of
July again show the lowest average daily readings when the figures
ranged from 16 at Station No. 3 to 18 at Stations No. 1 and 4. The
highest daily reading in that month was 49 at Station No. 1.
As is to be expected Station No. 3 (Roxeth Manor School) which
is situated in the area affected by Smoke Control Orders and which is
being extended year by year, continues to show the lowest figures for
smoke in the winter months. In January and February the average daily
readings were 125 and 107 whereas average figures of 186 and 171 were
reached at one of the other stations.
