Air Pollution
Sir, —The 5000 cases of bronchitis each winter, and other ills, including eye trouble winter and summer, do not advertise Christchurch as a healthy city to dwell in. Is it any wonder that citizens migrate to the fresher sea breezes of the North Island cities? The many whose appeals to authority about smoke pollution over the years went unheeded may be too ill or old to attend meetings of the Clean Air Society. Their sufferings were aggravated by the spread of so-called “mere nuisances” which in total add to the city’s adverse conditions so substantially that our “sea breezes” become “air sewerways”.— Yours, etc., WHO CARES? December 9, 1966.
