LEAD AND ARSENIC POISONING
TO TOT EDITOR OF TOT PRESS. Sir,—“ Health and Truth” must understand that the actual limit to which the poisonous fumes of metallic gases will travel could scarcely be defined. This factor would depend on atmospheric conditions. In a still atmosphere the fumes would naturally tend to cling about the site of their origin, but would be carried in whichever direction the wind was blowing, and the velocity of the wind would define the distance. It must be remembered that on a few occasions New Zealand has received this fine dust from disturbances across the seas. This demonstrates the travelling power of particulate matter, according to the winds.—Yours, etc,, M. G. DAVIES. July 26, 1938.
