Air Pollution
Sir, —With the information now brought to New Zealand in warning of the results of air pollution from lack of early prevention, will our city heed or continue to tolerate, if not encourage, the spreading menace? Bringing private car traffic into the city centre through garden suburbs may, as elsewhere, ruin gardens by the action of fumes. In other countries industrial chimneys are high and stringently policed. Low chimneys and rubbish tins function daily, adding their obnoxious quota in a mixture to aid pollution. Even London cleared her central mile years ago. Ours gets worse while five-year plans mature. —Yours, etc.. RUINED EYES. November 6. 1962.
