Air Pollution
Sir, —Consider each car spark plug firing 20 and more times a second. Multiply by the number of cylinders and cars in the central city. What a volume of fumes! In January an article by Mr R. S. Long, senior lecturer in mathematics, Canterbury University, stated: “In Los Angeles all new cars how must be fitted with a device to reduce exhaust fumes.” Why such squandering of community resources on unnecessary and unbeneficial motoring? The first essential is for each family to own adequate housing. —Yours, etc., • CYCLE FOR HEALTH
AND WEALTH. May 20, 1964.
