Complaints were received during 1965 of alleged smoke
nuisance in 10 instances from factories and other premises in
various parts of the Borough. In 2 instances no emission was
noted which would have enabled action to be taken under the
Public Health Act, 1936, or Clean Air Act, 1956. Two informal
notices were served and complied with and in all other cases
verbal intimations and advice were given.
Five stations for measurement of atmospheric pollution have
been installed in the Borough as follows:—
No. 1 — Gantshill Library, Cianbrook Road, Ilford.
No. 2 — John Bramston School, Newcastle Avenue,Hainault.
No. 3 — Ilford Town Hall.

Each station has a volumetric apparatus and the two latter
stations are selected sites in connection with a National
Survey of Air Pollution being conducted by the Department of
Scientific and Industrial Research.
