Air Pollution
Sir, —Standing on the hill, looking down upon Christchurch, one feels sad and concerned to see our lovely little town becoming more and more submerged under a weight of fog. Motor transport adds its contribution, but this can hardly be avoided; so let us turn to the things that can. Take the huge chimneys still pouring forth smoke and clouding the air. Late one afternoon a member of our family returned to Christchurch on a north bus and was dismayed by the sight of heavy smoke to the right. “Goodness!'’ she thought. “Are our lovely gardens all on fire?” Then somebody assured her that it was only the hospital chimney and was quite a usual sight. And there are many other such chimneys. My friend stayed in London during a fog. then crossed to the Continent to clean air. For a month after she was coughing up soot Christchurch please take heed.—Yours, etc., SMOKE March 26, 1962.
