MONOXIDE LEVELS
Carbon monoxide levels from traffic are not as bad as many believe, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company’s journal, “Non-Skid,” quotes the United States highway administrator, Mr F. Turner, as saying. Mr Turner said that maximum carbon monoxide levels measured in ambient air in heavy traffic—for instance, where a traffic policeman directed traffic for eight hours in Manhattan —had less effect on a human than did smoking two cigarettes in one hour. He also said that the maximum concentrations of carbon monoxide in busy areas of Chicago and Manhattan were less than onethird the concentrations measured in the same places in the early 19305.
